Awesome, thanks for that. I didn’t even think to link the before and after.

No problem!

Love the exhaust, such a great addition to the bike.

I definitely love the sound of this exhaust, especially as time moves on.

They definitely are, love this combo.

Unknown Overland I’m looking for this to be my first motorbike in some time, had a moped I crashed and served a thumb so was thinking something not to crazy 😟

There are better and much cheaper options, this is pure overpaying for the name of the brand, absurd overpaying. The bike doesn't go faster any how😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I really love the exhaust.

Thanks!

Thanks so much for that feedback. In my newer videos I’ve stayed away from dropping in music, always trying to improve.

Agreed. The exhaust sounds great, but the noise/music made me want to shit my shit my pants and slap my mom in the face while looking her in the eyes as she eats breakfast at dinner time.

Thank you so much!

Thanks! I love that pipe.

Thanks!

That O2 sensor came with the Bazzaz EFI I had installed at the time. In a later video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibaGra5lmruzf2Q.html) I replace the Bazzaz with an Aracer setup.

They definitely did; there are so many options available for such a small bike.

@@UnknownOverLand now u need ecu tune and air intake

@@cameronwilson4782 Have had various versions of both over last year. Check out my other videos for the aRacer as well as the Chimera intake.

@@UnknownOverLand nice, I reccomend the DNA stage 3, with that yoshi and the Cjr autotune

@@cameronwilson4782 That stage3 has always looked awesome, but I still haven't had a chance to try it out.

Yes, the engine portion of the bike is stock. It’s actually fuel injected (PGM FI), so no rejetting. I did remap via the ECM, though, just to make things run a bit smoother.

Thanks!

It is a separate piece you have to buy, but I did run one in mine basically all of the time.

@@UnknownOverLand Ok, so during the sound test on this vid, you had the spark arrestor installed?

Sorry, I realize I made that way confusing. In this video, no, I didn't have the spark arrestor quite yet. If you watch this video, it's when I finally got the spark arrestor (and I rev the engine a bit with it in): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNtme9ylyr3IaGQ.html

This was the Yoshimura RS-3 Full System.

So far, no. I do have a Bazzaz fuel mapper on the bike as well, and haven’t had the check engine light come on yet.

Pardon my ignorance, why do you ask? Is that related to/caused by the exhaust replacement?

Some people have seen the check engine light come on for different changes to the bike, but it seems pretty rare.

I replied to this on another video, but no harm doing it here too! I bought mine on Amazon, but they also have them available on Steady Garage, MNNTHBX, DROWsports and Hard Racing (and likely lots of other sites, but these are the ones I frequent most for Monkey related parts).

I’m sure you could do it, it’s a pretty easy install!

Compared to a lot of other bikes, I’d totally say this is a good starter bike. Handling, weight, and the smaller engine size makes it easier to control and learn on. Just take it slow, get good safety gear, and have fun!

@@UnknownOverLand appreciate the feedback, if I do end up getting the bike definitely have to get this exhaust, sounds so good!

@@YOSHIMOTO_HI_SPEED it definitely makes the bike sound awesome. But watch out, mods can get addictive. :)

@@UnknownOverLand just got my 2022 honda monkey in banana yellow 🍌 So excited!!! Ordering this exhaust when they are back in stock

That’s going to be awesome! Congrats!

That's a good idea, would help set everything up.

I don’t have it immediately (though i may have posted it somewhere in some of these comments sections) but I can try and get some readings tomorrow and let you know.

@@UnknownOverLand Awesome thanks!

@@UnknownOverLand I just scanned all the replies on this thread. Did not see the dbs. It would be interesting to know. Top rev and maybe a drive by throttled up if the db reader can do that. I wondering if its anything near 90-100db at its peak.

@@findingneutral I realized that the comments I was thinking of were in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNtme9ylyr3IaGQ.html Basically I found "Without the DB killer, idle it's about 86dB while rolling on the throttle it peaked around 116dB. With the DB killer, idle was about 82dB and throttle was around 112dB."

@@UnknownOverLand You Sir, are awesome. I know this will sound odd ball, but I just accidentally ordered a Delkevic ds70 oval carbon for a 2020 Yamaha XT250 I also just bought. I meant to order the 18inch version. Delkevic advised the peak db level on what I ordered would be 105-110 with the baffle in. In trying to figure out if that would be tolerable or just plain obnoxious I figured I would use the good old Monkey Yoshi RS3 as a base line. Based on your findings, which I greatly appreciate 🙏, since I was having zero luck finding anywhere, I can stop stressing about having to get the brand new muffler then turn right around and pay to ship it back then order the other and pay to ship it out etc... My 🎩 off 2 U 😃

Amazing timing on your question because I was literally looking at that this morning as well. I believe that it should. The way that it installs it's meant to cover the stock headers (including the cat) which hangs a fair amount below the engine. The RS3 header has a bend much closer to the engine which seems like it'd keep it nice and high, and away from the skid plate. The one worry I have, though, is the side of the plate where the stock exhaust comes "up"; because the stock exhaust header has the cat, the bend upwards starts further back whereas the yoshi exhaust comes almost immediately up the side. This might be right where the side panel of the kitaco sits, but I'm not sure.

@@UnknownOverLand That's exactly where I think the Kitaco bracket will interfere. I already own the skid plate and just ordered the same exhaust as yours. I was freeze framing your install trying to catch the angles to see. I even called Yoshi but they said the did not know. I get my exhaust later this week. I'll update you on the outcome and thank you for sharing your insight and great videos.

Yes, please let me know how it goes. I know there are a few other skid plate options out there, but this was definitely the one I had my eye on.

@@UnknownOverLand Will do.

@@UnknownOverLand Well the skid plate did not fit due to the header pipe, without me doing some handy man mods to it. I will say I went ahead and drilled some new holes and bent the sides out a bit and made it fit . In a nut shell on the plate itself drilled two new holes as far back on it as I could go where it attaches to rear bracket that get mounted up under the engine near the kickstand area. Then I had to flex bend outward the side flare parts that come up on both frontal brackets that connect on the sides of the engine on both sides. This made more width to accommodate the header pipe coming outward more on the exhaust side. Then I had to cut out a piece of the bracket arm on the left. Where I bent and flexed the plate outward it looks a bit shabby even though I protected it with tape and a rag, but i was not about to not try since the skid plate was almost $200. It feels solid in place and doesn't look cockeyed either. So all in all I'm happy with my rigging and feel confident I could take it off and on for any maintenance needs. I do not think knowing what I know now I would buy the plate knowing I was going to have to mangle it to fit though. But I also hate hearing "tink tink tink tink" as pebbles smack my engine under side. I'm sure you could make it work with your skills if its something you really want. I looked for other plate options but did not see anything except under cowlings. If you want to see what it looks like installed on my bike shoot me your gmail and I could send pics. I'm not a creeper or anything.

I have both. For the intake I'm using the MNNTHBX MTake and for a tuner I've done a few things. Currently I'm running an aRacer, but I've also had the Bazzaz on the bike as well as have had a re-tuned ECU.

Cool!

I really like when manufactures put in those little details. Makes it just that much cooler.

Indeed... hahahaap

Also a little monkey cutout. You can order a monkey shirt on the Yoshimura website. Has a small bike on the back and says Small bore life.

I may need to get one of those shirts.

@@UnknownOverLand I saw the guy on the Eastcoastish KZfaq channel had one and somebody mentioned it in the comments. So I got one myself. Personally I think they should include one when you order a pipe for a Monkey.

It's CC with attribution, so you can reuse it as long as you mention where it came from.

Because I had a Bazzaz Efi I had installed, that o2 sensor was for that rather than the stock. In a later video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibaGra5lmruzf2Q.html) I replaced that with the aracer.

Yes, it is! And thank you!

I did not, and probably should have. With the replacement header it removes a fair amount of pipe and the cat, so there’s definitely weight loss there. I’m unsure the weight difference between the mufflers, though. Maybe someone from @yoshimura_rd will wander by and chime in.

@@UnknownOverLand stock system is around 13 lbs rs3 is 7.5 lbs

Awesome, thank you for that info!

That is the stock O2 sensor. I have a replacement O2 sensor that came with the Bazzaz Z-AFM which I installed on the header itself.

@@UnknownOverLand Can the exhaust be installed without replacing that sensor too? What is the advantage/difference between the original sensor and the one you installed?

If you don’t really change anything else, you can leave the stock sensor plugged where it is normally.

The Benelli does look fun, I happen to like the more “classic” look of the Monkey but all the small bikes are just a ton of fun.

@@UnknownOverLand I love the nostalgia and build quality of the monkey. Rode my cousin's as a kid !

Exactly, they knew just the right place to target all of us! :)

This is true, and I believe some after market headers don’t have the bung in place to move it. When I went aracer, the replacement probe only really fit in the header.

It looks like it's some type of sticker, but on first glance I cannot tell if the rivets on the side are real or just part of the decal. It does look removable, but I'm unsure what's under it.

The yellow is such a great color.

I think they call it banana yellow.

Generally this will be more targeted towards overall engine efficiency and some amount of horsepower. Because this system is lighter and with the change to fuel management the result would be a bit more top speed.

@@UnknownOverLand this is absolute not true, be honest When people ask. I have 20.000 km on my Monkey with Yosi IT doesn't go faster at all. Be honest please !

It depends on if you go full exhaust or not. The slip-on only seems to be $549, if you add the header it's about $629.

@@UnknownOverLand its a freaking rip off, no more extra power noticeble, maybe on paper😂😂😂😂there is so much more cheaper stuff with good looks either. i have done more then 20.000 km on my Monkey so i know from experience❤️🙏

Thanks for at least trying to put up with my bad music choice!

@@UnknownOverLand When new Monkey came here in Australia, price tag was $AU 4000, now it is 7 thousands. I still kicking my head not buying it then.

That’s quite a large jump in price!

Thanks so much, I know the music wasn’t the greatest of choices but thanks for at least checking it out!

Yeah, at least these days I don't use much music in my videos. Definitely learned! :)

@@UnknownOverLand apologies for the french :(

@@manuelaraica3216 No worries at all!

Thanks! It’s such a fun bike.

@@UnknownOverLand So does it mean I can't get the bike?

If you mean mine in particular, probably not as I’m quite attached so far. If you mean the Honda Monkey, they’re available all throughout the world.

Okay how many cost so a Honda

Retail, they’re about $4000USD.

Yeah, I know, probably not my best decision. :) If I could easily fix that, I totally would. Thanks!

Sorry about that, sadly I can't easily remove the audio since the videos been up this long.

Sadly, a choice I made long ago that still haunts me.

I totally get what you're saying, especially since $800 is a bit steep. Personally, I like the look of this pipe on the bike and I also really like the sound of it; but these are definitely personal preferences. Removing the cat, and decreasing the overall weight of the system I think are additional bonuses in the long run, but could also be done without going with the full Yoshi install.

Lmao !!

Definitely.

I like the look of the stock exhaust as well, but I like the sound of this one a bit more. :)

If you mean the old Honda Z's, I definitely agree.

@@UnknownOverLand yup

I can see why you'd say that, it's definitely an expensive upgrade. With the removal of the cat, you will get an increase in overall HP on the bike, and the free-er flowing exhaust will also help a little bit as well. The sound and look is definitely up to personal preference. I like it, but definitely not for everyone.

I’ve tried to make better decisions in music or audio choices since then, but thanks for at least trying!

@@UnknownOverLand hahahahaha well played

Yeah, I liked it at the time!
