Looks like a well thought out Intake. I had an original yellow MT50 when I was a kid around 1970

Great video, I love the area you get to ride daily. Looks beautiful!

3:50 I do genuinely love the sound of a motor going 200 rpm for some reason

Great channel Ridge! I've always wanted the monkey ever since it came out. I hope to add one to my garage, they look like so much fun!

The little Monkey is running great! =)

it sounds amazing, I love it

Good morning to you! I am Cross Cub grandpa from Japan and sharing Cross Cub video. Monkey is so nice motorcycle !! So great job ! Have a nice day friend !

got one like this but just original, really fun little bikes for Sundays and sunny weather day trips :)

Can’t wait to get mine 2023

looks like our roads in se ky. My 2022 monkey that was sposed to be here late sept is now due in mid dec, can't wait. If my bus is campable by then, i may take off to az/nm/nv just so i can ride the bike all winter lol good vid

This is so cool, great job! Are you able to fit the airbox cover back on after the mod? I have some stickers on mine that I would hate to give up, otherwise this looks like a fun project!

Great roads to ride!

What a beautiful countryside! 😲

I’ve got a Triumph SS that is tricked out. But I keep checking these out to have an easy bike to haul camping and mess around on. Maybe I can convince my wife she needs one. Can’t have too many bikes.

sounds good

That looks so much better as does the exhaust.

Thank you for your video! Very helpful on an installation!

That is one perfectly tuned little 125

Thumbs up great video. I can’t help but think that now you’re faster, your gonna need better braking and suspension, maybe a full fairing, race leathers and boots. I’m gonna resist modifying my Monkey, (cause it looks like a rabbit hole!) and sometimes, slow is fun. That’s why I bought it. I’ll get the CBR out when I need some fast riding.

Love the mods

You don’t want that big plastic lunch box air cleaner it blocks air cooling for the head, I got this intake on mine 👍I got a black widow exuast system that looks beautiful and performs just like yoshi for half the price, Al’s flashed tune, 14 tooth front sprocket and man in the box billet break away shifter that replaces the 10 pounds of metal rods and levers from factory, billet seat bolt plugs, a nice little luggage rack you gotta have something to hold stuff, put a clock on the handle bar because I would loose track having fun, 300 lb rear shocks the stock suspension is junk I still need to upgrade front forks and it could badly use a 5th gear maybe some one will make a kit soon? I love the bike my Harley just sits now it’s so easy to jump on the monk and burn up back roads all day on a half tank👍👍

Nice!

I took the lunch box off immediately! I got this intake now, and don’t waste your money on yoshi exuast!! I got Black Widow it’s beautiful and performs great, take off thy12 pounds of foot shifter and linkage and get the 10oz billet break away shifter, have the module flashed for a stage one tune.

Nice! Bet that thing is a high preformance canyon carver now!

Bro , you need a lift table ! I can’t imagine crawling around on the ground working on such a tiny bike. I have 3 of these bikes (two 2021 models and a 2023). I lift mine up to eye level on a Harbor Freight lift table . I highly recommend one 👍🏼

If you want to make it look better you should paint that intake hose flat black. Since it's white and the bottom of the tank is white when you attempt to look at the straight line of the tank at the bottom your eye notices that kinda silly looking hose. I have learned that if you don't want to draw the eye's attention if you make something flat black it isn't even noticed.

Nice Bike. I did the same mods except for the exhaust. I used the Vance and Hines slip on. Its a easy install, sound and performance are great but it doesn’t have that raised heat shield that the Yoshimura does. Leg burns! If I had to do it again I would buy the Yoshimura.

Could you do this on the trail 125? That would be pretty cool

Have you been tempted by the idea of a 150 conversion?

Hey got a question what brand intake system did you install were did you get it and how much cause I just bought one and saw your video I'm interested in getting one

Thatnks for the video. Just curious if there was any kind of special instructions for reinstall after the ecu flash? Or was it just plug and play? Thanks in advanced!

I'd a used a rattle can spay bed liner on the intake hose

Mann I want one of those

I wonder if similar mods could be done to the CT 125

Does exhaust, intake and tune effect MPG? Thanks

I really enjoyed your video. I have the same bike. Could you be so kindly in letting me know the type of exhaust system you put on this bike. I like to do a little upgrading to my bike as well, and those two things seem to work out fine for you. Cheers thank you Marshall

Nice .... 🇺🇸

Thanks for the video. Just bought a ‘21 Monkey non ABS. Few questions… what is that speaker box and is it hard wired to battery? Where did you order your tune and air intake upgrade? Would a tune be needed if I just upgraded the stupid looking factory air box to a nicer cleaner air filter look?

Interesting

👌👌

Hmmmmm, my ‘21 Monkey is bone stock. Love your mods but I’m sticking with stock red Monkey it’s so classic

Did you do a top speed run yet? Curious to see how much it gained

Inpurchase the air intake and the mufler you have but do you have the serial number for the ecu you purchase soni can get it , the video is great tnks fornthe info

I kinda want one for my 12 and 15 year old. And of course for me to run to the store.

If you are running errands...how do you prevent theft while in a store?

Put a windscreen on it!!! and you’ll be surprised, 3-5 MPH increase “by cutting wind”, my stock Grom can hit 70mph easy completely stock. 66 was top speed before adding the windscreen.

oil cooler as well

So is it a bit like a smaller version of a scrambler style of bike ? Go on the road and off it too ? Good 4 those long forest road rides in summer late afternoon through the hills with that beautiful sunset in the west coming through the trees and that smell !! Ah that smell of summer evening and pine forest with a side of slight dust to enhance your sences

What exhaust do you have? Also, to do both the exhaust and intake...do you have to do a re-tune on it? Thanks!

I noticed a bit of trouble at idle when first started. Did the control module work it out.? Tune it correctlw.

Please cuál es la velocidad máxima?

You didn't link bensound!!!! ;) Just kidding. Nice video

Where is this filmed at? Nice scenery.

I agree or at least a 250 four-stroke

Looks way better without that box,more like oldschool now

Everyone needs a monkey 🐒.

Hey , I’m buying one of these this Friday. True novice with engines, where can I get one of these intakes ? Thank you

Do you happen to know if there was a change in mpg after the mods? Cheers

Other reviews say its top speed is 64-65 mph (original specs). How much extra speed do you gain with this upgrade, thinking of having better perfomance on freeways.

I want custom exhaust for my bike

Did you ever get it re-programmed so it would idle at the correct speed? Those upgrade mods are always a compromise. They never work exactly as advertised.

high lift cam crank lighten and balanced back and front sprocket 3.1 ratio 28 mm carb gorilla tank top speed 90 + that if you can keep the front wheel down mine was a 1990 model

So what was done an intake and a ecu chipping ? That’s it? Is the exhaust stock?

Hello, where can I find the key for the motorcycle seat, to close it with the motorcycle key? thanks

Do any of these modifications void the warranty?😬. Which mod gave you the most bang for your buck?🤔

Can you tell me where you got the seat bolts? I just got my Monkey last night. Thank you

Air filter is in a bad spot, needs to be in back so water and dirt won't get sprayed from front tire,!!!

I want one so bad!!! How do I purchase one? I can't seem to find any for sale. I'm from Los Angeles, CA.... Can I just get one of these at the Honda dealer?

How many miles do you get per tank now?

did you need the rejet the carb with your mods????

Were did you purchase sound par

Were did you purchase sound bar

hows the fuel consumption sir?

Hi there, Nice video! Is the exhaust system good? How many horses did the engine gain? Best Regards

So it's got more power but what's the MPG difference

what state is that? thx

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 KZfaqr 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

How is the MPG after the upgrade?

Put the stock muffler back on! Nice bike

What year monkey is it?

Do I have to have a certain amount of miles on this bike before i add the yosh pipe and the instake?

What about a bigger fuel injector? It beats me, why everyone tuning these updates air intake and exhaust, but nobody changes the fuel injector. More airflow would requires more gas too... Lots of Honda injectors to choose from. I think the one used in Honda 150cc scooters would be pretty good thing to start adding the fuel delivery. Cheap part and just the same on the outside.

For the price of the new ones, they should have 300cc two stroke motors

in the minut 3:18

I don't like yellow but man this thing looks sweet!

The music to ‘the Benny Hill show’ would have been more apt.

Why all these bikers want that terrible big motorbikes...this Honda is all you need!!!

Even your roads are off-road😂

How much what’s your parts list text to FTFMGARAGE thank you

I don’t understand why people buy a 125cc and try to make it go faster. If you want to go faster, buy a bike with a bigger engine. The whole point of a monkey is that it’s good cheap fun no matter what speed you’re doing. If you try to mod it to go faster then it’ll do less mpg’s which is the whole point of this bike.

A wee bit to noisy..Otherwise perfect moto cycle..

Sorry at 5k shouldn't need any mods. Jmho My navi, when I.mod her up.will still.cost less than a monkey with mods...

Why why why all you do is make the engine To make eat all the sand from the air... All powerfull engine destrier air fillter and why not To buy power commander 5 and tune it your self much better and no costs if needed To re program do it your self. You need the autotune To mesure afr (airfueoration) To between 13.2 To 13.7 power 14.7 is Eco. And btw is standardt program In monkey/grom. If no corrrection made the ecu starts To make own corrrections... Plug the own lambda of and make the autotune lambda primary. Then the mil light Will ligt up butt the program wont change. 🤘👍 Been there done that 15.6 hp 10 tousand kilometers behind 181 bbk self made program kitaco high out put camchaft. I Weight 92kg top speed real GPS 105km/h

Why make all that noise? Se me! Se me?stupid. I will do the uppersit. HAIR the BIRDS. 😉

I was looking for the narration of your mod, not a cheesy Steven Spielberg soundtrack. Maybe the next KZfaq on the list will be actual mod content and not a music video. Meanwhile left you a parting gift for your algorithm.

too loud

another noisy neighbor.

I think that Quiet is better. I don't like sharing my noise with people. And in the woods especially. I like going through the woods and surprising wildlife, not scaring them off before I can see anything. Motorcyclists seem to too often be rather selfish, as if other people enjoy their noise.

Random thought here: Why not just leave it alone & stop junking it up? It's a damn mini bike for Christ's sake

I can WITHOUT the GOOFY MUSIC!
