Honda Monkey Z125 MNNTHBX Air Intake Install & Review!

[@toddstubblefield7938]

Ordered mine. MNNTHBX says it’ll be mid May before it ships. The CJR ECU shipped today and the Yoshimura GP Magnum exhaust arrived very quickly. Can’t wait to see what 2 extra HPs feels like. Lol

WARNING 7:43 this is the refueling overflow drain tube not a breather. If you accidentally over fill or spill gas around the fill neck area it will drain down a hole next to it and into this tube instead of over the sides of the tank. Just route this tube down the left side of the cylinder toward the ground. The tube is normally is just held in place by a split tube on the left side of the stock air box and doesn't go into the inside of the box. the split in the mounting tube allows spilled fuel to drip to the ground. The fuel tank's breather tube should not be affected by the new intake installation. Improper routing of this overflow tube could become a FIRE HAZARD.

This should be pinned. Thanks.

You're a darn legend. Super helpful.

[@chadrandolph9874]

I’m loving all the upgrades you have provided to the Monkey...they are just awesome! Very nice Sandro!

[@mimmigranaas3440]

I love this bike! And your channel 😁👍

[@asalouros]

Very nice mod! Looks much nicer than the stock box.

[@rdspeedphysics4420]

Excellent no-nonsense video! Perfect.

[@SS-rz1oc]

Nothing is perfect Video is the best but there are a few issues

[@garystart3421]

That’s a much better look

[@allandekoning4734]

Nicely done mate, cheers from California!

[@pgill2682]

Love the intro and the bike!

[@Mr229357]

Well done 🙂👍🏻👍🏻

[@ocanaldovaza]

Hello, all the parts shown in the video come in the kit, thanks

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes they did at the time

[@jeff7201]

Could you let me know what make is the rear stand and what I need to buy to get one like it? It looks like a good one - Thanks in advance

[@Andy-From-England]

Hey Sandro the speed demon lol great video looks and sounds good

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks mate, and when you’re doing 60kms on the Monkey it feels like 100kms on bigger bikes!

[@mykbates2212]

Great video and love the video quality. Now you just need a OTB clear Cam Cover for that bike. ;)

[@Dominari66]

Little thumpers are so much fun

[@andytillsley9576]

Maybe if the hose was black or colour matched to the bike ? What’s best this or Chimera ?

[@PeteyMcSavage]

Hey Sandro just used the Adams graphene pretty impressed I’m a CQUK guy but prob not any more all the graphene coating are so easy optigloss coat like

[@jimblessinger]

What do you use to clean and oil the filter? I have K&N cleaner and oil, would that suffice. I'm not sure the injector can handle the oil. Any advice would help.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes a typical reusable filter cleaner and oil will be fine - such as the K&N - the mistake many make is using way too much oil after cleaning, you need so so little, just enough to very lightly coat the filter and that will prevent it being sucked into the engine components. If you mistakenly use too much, use a microfibre cloth to soak it up or even compressed air to blow it off - once the oil stops splatting off the air filter as you blow it with compressed air, you know it also won’t get sucked into the engine.

[@jimblessinger]

@CarCraftAutoDetailing Now that is a video idea for you.

[@mnnthbx]

Great video! Do you care if we use it?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks. You’re more than welcome to use it!

[@chrisgraham9203]

Handy tip. There are no phillips head screws on this bike. Only JIS screws.

[@koioo2]

take mi had off many talents.hello mister sandro

[@koioo2]

don t ask me to do it i can t cheers hope your allright

[@chuongtrungvuong9480]

Hi, @Car Craft Auto Detailing Do you have link where you get the rear bag? Thanks.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

No sorry mate, it’s actually just an old seat bag I took from a mountain bike to carry a couple of things.

[@TouchofDepth]

Arent these instakes known for allowing dust particles through especially if off-road

[@Blastfence1]

I liked everything up to sending in the ECU. What happens if I send in the ECU to have it flashed and it never comes back!

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I just bought a second one from them which they flashed, so I still have the original one, maybe that’s a safer option.

[@Blastfence1]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Correct and you still have the old one flashed to the original components! If I perform the mod I will do it that way!

[@andytillsley9576]

I was told that the ECU is not suitable for UK bikes !! Is this true ?

[@motoman1012002]

What bag do you have on your rack? Do you have a link to the bag to purchase it?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

It’s actually just a under seat bag off my old mountain bike

[@HOPPOVERSION1]

Is it OK to get this filter wet?? if not what are my options?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I believe if you jump on the website they have water proof options for the air box at man in the box

[@mikeherber8358]

Where did you get your gas tank pads ???????

[@MareLFC92]

I was just about to ask what's up with monkey on the last video. Still looking good and shining. What happened with riding videos? Decided not to make them or will be in future?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Life has have been very restrictive here in Melbourne for the past few months with some of the worlds strictest lockdowns and massive government fines, even for doing things which seemingly shouldn’t put anyone at risk like going for a drive or a ride on you’re own. So I’m hoping to do a ride video, maybe also taking about all the mods I’ve done to the bike and what I think about them as soon as this madness is over or at least the government stops being so unnecessarily authoritarian.

[@MareLFC92]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I know where you at with government and their measures. We had lock down, restrictions, then for a week we had great improvements because it was time to vote for president, again, and then went back again to restriction and limitations which resulted in massive protest etc. It is what it is, I guess many countries are affected with this kind of guidance... Keep safe man, there will be time for everything. Cheers and have a good one!

[@ilikechickensausages2075]

Hay Sandro what's the top speed on this Hog, and how is the LED headlight like at night.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

The head light is really great and bright at night, even the tail light and indicators are greatly lit. Before I did the exhaust, air intake and retune I was maxing out around 90kms on the starlight’s, but I’ve managed to crack 100kms comfortably on the freeway since the mods and if you’ve got the wind on your side and just a slight down hill it can go well beyond that. I wouldn’t recommend it for freeway riding because at 100kms there’s not that much left, but for the odd short freeway run it’s fine, and around the streets and traffic it’s really a fantastic ride.

[@ilikechickensausages2075]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing You're the second person i have seen with this type of bike I have seen another you tuber called RJ or Royal Jordanian that has one and love's! It 👌

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Very useful 👍 One minor point though - the screws are JIS standard. You shouldn't have any problems messing up the heads if you use the correct screwdriver. There really is that much of a difference! Hope this helps.

[@jagertailor9423]

first??

[@jagertailor9423]

feels good in a wack timezone

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Lol, 🥇

[@Mutthead]

Hey mate, got my yoshi pipe like I commented in that install video. Sounds unbelievable. Just curious now how you find this mod after a week or so? Thanks

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

It’s actually been about 2 months since I installed (it took a while to get around to editing the video) and I love it. You really have to get the ECU tuned, but if you do it really makes the exhaust and air intake come together and you’ll squeeze out a little more lively acceleration and top speed, so it just makes this fun bike a little more fun!

[@Mutthead]

Car Craft Auto Detailing thanks man I appreciate your reply. And your channel! Subscribed last night. You were only able to order from the US I suppose?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes, and I actually found it hard to find anyone in the US that would ship me a Flashed ECU (no one seems to do it locally) and although I could get the exhaust and some others parts through my local bike shop, they ended up being cheaper from Mnnthbx.

[@Mutthead]

Car Craft Auto Detailing got mine coming on Monday from mnnthbx! Defs be using this video for my install. Just two questions if you don’t mind. First one might sound stupid but will I need to oil both crank case filter and main filter? And did you need to disconnect battery prior to install? Thanks again man

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

You won’t need to disconnect the battery, but I did use some K&N filter oil on both filters to be sure, but they almost felt like they had a thin film of oil out of the box.

[@robertyoung8289]

The Chimera is alot nicer looking.

[@mikeherber8358]

Have this on order do i need to change anything so it doesn"t lean the engine with stock exhaust/muffler ??????????

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes, as I mentioned in the video you really should have the ECU retuned or flashed or use a fuel management module to allow a richer mix of fuel and prevent the engine from running too lean.

[@johncamilleri6654]

it fit on 2024 model? and from where I buy it ?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

There’s a link in the description box and you can check model fitment with the seller

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Make sure it’s cool, you can rinse off any looser dirt, and then use a soft brush with some all purpose cleaner or degreaser and that should do it.

[@matthewcartwright5271]

Oil your filter bro

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks and yes, DNA sell their own oil but you could also use the K&N air filter oil and the cleaner before re-oiling down the track as needed.
