I went with the Monkey and absolutely love it. 650 miles on it and its just such a blast to ride. I will say there are mods that are needed, in my opinion. I changed the handlebars, levers, turn signals, exhaust, rear fender and soon will put on new intake. I had a grom 2nd gen and the Monkey compared to the grom is more comfortable to ride. I”m surprised the Monkey is about 10 mph slower. The top speed for me is 54, downhill with wind at my back.

No one seems to want to talk about the elephant in the room which IS the five speed transmission and all the failures occurring across this and the new grom line. What is going on with all the transmission failures? Why is Honda not addressing the unseated bearing issues and scored shafts? Why is this not a major subject being addressed. For the amount of money these cost you would think this would be on the forefront of issues to resolve OR, is it just a select group of owners who did a poor job of breaking them in and abused them prior to finishing a proper break in. Can’t seem to get an answer either way. Really want to add the new version to my garage but I’m not going to spend 5k on something that’s going to fail in the transmission. That’s a major deal breaker.

I am buying a Monkey this week. I’ve been reading many of the channels dedicated to the Honda Monkey. I’m 60 yrs old. I though about doing some performance mods i.e., yoshimura exhaust, chimera air intake … But then I saw that you have to reprogram the computer or chips on the monkey to adjust for the modifications. Then one KZbinr said the reprogramming wasn’t working and he had to go back to the original exhaust and air intake. Question: should I leave it alone? Just as the manufacturer intended ? JC
@HondaProKevin2 жыл бұрын
Sorry for the delayed reply bud, it's becoming more and more difficult keeping up with all of them. If you just do an exhaust, you're fine but once you start adding more air in the mix with an intake I would definitely lean towards having it tuned properly and on the upside, you get to take advantage of those performance mods and really see a nice bump in how she feels when compared to just slapping them on. There are quite a few routes you can go but the easiest is to have the ECU flashed by a reputable company like DHM or CJR. With CJR on the 2022 Monkey you'll need to also get a Dynojet PV3 which does add to the price tag and complexity of it all but with DHM you can just mail in your ECU and then in a couple days you'll have it back at your doorstep so all you have to do is plug it in and you're good to go. I have personal experiences with both companies and can not rep them both enough. On your question as to whether or not you should leave it alone... You're asking the wrong person as I love to modify things lol if you check out my personal 2022 Grom videos but it all depends on what you want. I find that modifying them makes it more fun at the end of the day and with just an intake, exhaust and a tune you won't be shortening its lifespan really so I'd hop on doing those upgrades and enjoy not only the extra horsepower but the noise you'll make too haha ;) Edit, forgot to include links: - www.dhmotoring.com/collections/2022-engine-performance/products/jc92flash - www.cameronjonesracing.com/honda-monkey-2nd-gen-5spd

I'm a little gun shy on speaking out about anything coming out of the Honda of South Carolina Manufacturing plant after I received a letter from their attorney a little while back on information I shared. We're close to the announcement date though as long as there aren't any delays. I'm sorry, wish I could say more... Usually I can mask what I say behind select wording but they don't play around and I don't want to ruffle anymore feathers than I already have if you catch my drift ;)

Hi Kevin, great video thank you... We,re still waiting on CT 125 Trail 2022 .. Any news on the Honda T rail on your end of the grapeline ? Also, the C C 125 Cross Cubs would be our 1ST choice Honda,s mini moto,s ..Do you think they will be available in U S of A ? The CC 125 would be a good seller, drop "old super cub" line time to let it pass away ! T U again Kevin.
@HondaProKevin3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind words Rodney, I really appreciate it! I can't speak on the 2022 CT125 just yet but I'll be able to spill the beans very soon. A lot of things coming down the pipeline have been pushed back due to all of this rona mess sadly. I'd love to see the Cross Cub make its way over here as well but I just don't think we'll see it happening anytime in the foreseeable future. Of course, nothing is impossible but I don't believe we'll see it in the next couple to few years for sure. As long as these continue to be hot sellers here in the states though, American Honda will continue to bring them over and I'm all for them expanding the segment but we've got to have people lining up to buy them as their profit margins are laughable for dealers. We're weeks instead of months away from the next announcements though so I'll be able to share more info soon bud ;)

Why Honda hasn't upped the displacement to a true 150cc engine is beyond me be better suited for the Super Cub and Trail 125 given the tire size and would work wonders in the Honda Grom and Monkey especially if they add oil cooling system to the mix and maybe even help emissions some because the engine can run even cooler than just air cooling alone. If Honda Made this Engine a true 150cc engine with oil cooling the horsepower could be around 12 to 13.
