Sunday Honda Monkey ride along - No talking, just riding.
Spoiler alert: Nothing amazing happens.
Just a Sunday ride-along on British country lanes to Burton.
Starting in Melbourne (Derbyshire) going to Staunton Harold reservoir, Ticknall, Foremark reservoir, Milton, Repton, Newton Solney, then into Burton upon Trent.
Next time I'm going to get a mic set up so I can chat and avoid wind noise.
Camera: Sony HDR-AS30v.
Note: My Speedo reads aprox 35 mph at 30 due to the 14t sprocket.

Honda Monkey TV - 14 tooth front sprocket upgrade & chain re-tension
zhlédnutí 10KPřed 4 lety
Visit my Monkey Merch store! : wright-motorsport.square.site/ In this video I swap the front sprocket on the Honda Monkey 125 from the factory standard 15 tooth to a 14 tooth. TORQUES: - Sprocket bolts - 9ft.lb / 12Nm - Rear axle nut - 44ft.lb / 59Nm (incorrect on video overlay) This is a well known and very cheap/simple upgrade that is thought to allow the engine to work better within its powe...

Visit my Monkey Merch store! : wright-motorsport.square.site/ In this quick how-to, I show you how to remove the seat from the Honda Monkey 125. EDIT: I realise now that the rear part of the seat doesn't hook under the rear bar, there's a 500 steel bar between the flat bits that the rubbers rest on that it hooks under.

New 2022 motor is 5 speed and has a proper paper filter.
awesome my friend like the content good luck cute
They made it so hard for oil change. Glad 2022 model has oil filter now!
Just bought Monkey, this is greatly helpful video.
Glad I could help!
Thanks. I was just looking for the Alan wrench size. I appreciate it.
No problem 👍
Clear concise video. Marvelous. Thank you.
Cannot get the right hand one off, brand new off the dealership but it’s like it’s super glued in the other side came off fine
So no Oilfilter to change ?
My friend we must clean this metallic stuff in every oil change? The oil filter is inside the engine? Excellent video.
Great little video . Do have the issue where your abs light flashes? I tried a speedo healer but it didn't help :-(
Thanks for the video! Where did you find the oil spout that you attached to the oil bottle?
Will this change affect the accuracy of the speedometer?
Hi Im looking for lower handlebars like in this video, ideally in black as im de chroming my monkey bike. No idea on spec and sizes. Would like a slight narrower bars too as a tight fit where I need to put it away. Any idea's?
May I ask how much of a real world difference the smaller sprocket makes?
Just road mine up the California coast today. So damn rewarding. Last bike was a Harley Road King. 56 bikes later this is my most enjoyable ride ever.
Which bars are those?
They're for a Triumph Bonneville :-)
@@hondamonkeytv4138 given I had one I should know that 🤣
Great monkey videos! Will there be more?
Most definitely!
Plug torque is 24nm
Very nice! Thanks for the video!!
I'm not familiar with this particular Honda engine. But I have worked on a few other Hondas. I am willing to bet that removing the entire side cover is not necessary. Instead, just the small circular one with three screws. To stop the spinner from turning while extracting the screws on the spinner, just put it in gear. Other than that, I agree with the auther.
Nope, the side cover is completely solid. They have put a proper filter in the 2022 model.
I didn't see him take the coin out before reassembly.
Good video, thanks!
Well done. Is monkey have any oil filter?
how often does this battery needs to be change out?
It doesnt really.. several years
Anyone know if its the exact same procedure with a super cub?
Yes its the same engine, though access to it will be different
Got anxiety about not seeing the penny removed,but great video.
Thanks for the video. Would you say there’s space to store something in the seat or no?
Nope, zero storage space (unless you have a non-ABS model, then there's a bit of space where the ABS pump fits)
New Monkey owner just wish my Hennessey 650 Camaro was so easy to do maintenance, Lol.
Is it safe to ride the monkey on long rides (50 miles or longer) with the RPM's so high? Do you think that will damage the motor? I had the 14t sprocket on a long ride recently and I hated hearing that thing scream the whole way. I liked having the 4th gear (overdrive) in the original sprocket. Should I put the original back on?
It's fine, just don't sit with it absolutely topped out, screaming. However its not a pleasant ride at high speeds to be honest.
Just bought a Monkey so this will be very helpful! Thanks
does the check engine light come on after the upgrade?
No. If anything some people have reported the ABS light coming on but ive not had that issue.
Ok, I watched it again and ya, it’s just as good or even better as the first go around. Epic mileage!!😂😂
Did Dudley Moore have a son that I wasn’t aware of? Is it just me or is this man honestly one of the most funny people on CZcams? Maybe it’s because I’m watching this at 1am but seriously, I could not get through this without practically waking the neighbors with my laughter. And I don’t drink or use any drugs. I loved this guy and have got to say Hollywood is missing out on someone special here. I’m going to watch this video again now.
Very helpful! Clear, complete, good camera work. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
What an awful way to change engine oil! I can't believe Honda did that. I imagine a lot of people will just drain and replace the oil 50% of the time!
On my Honda Innova, which is basicly same engine, you first have to do it by 7500 miles (12 K). First time there was quite a lot of debree(?), I just did it again by 27 K, a lot less, so I think I will wait longer until the next cleaning of the inner filters. I do, however, change the oil according to the service schedual (2500 miles /4 K) or sooner. And that was the Honda ANF 125 Innova.
Hi mate, great video. And yes a horn relocation video would be great. Great channel you’re an amazing instructor.
Coming soon!
Horn relocation video please!
Soon... soon :-)
brilliant video 👍
Thank you 👍
I agree with you mate I like the cafe racer style too but the stock mirrors and the bar just dont fit the style. And by the way can you put the link of the handlebar... Thanks
hi great videos I have just bought a Honda Monkey! can you please show us the bracket you made up to fit the number plate on! looking forward to more videos as I also want to customize my Monkey Bike!
What’s your thoughts on the bike ie how comfortable is it what’s its comfortable cruising speed could you do a long journey on it ?
the seat is very comfy, but thats where comfort stops.. its quite buzzy ay top speed, not one for cruising.
I would love to see how you relocated the horn and more about the little camera you got installed - love it!
Hi, what helmet have you got there?
It's a Bell Custom 500
Is it fit for 2020 Monkey ABS?
Yes, ive had no issues
Hi, nice bike. With the 14t sprocket, the speed indication will be too high, at least with my Grom. :) Did you install a speedohealer or anything similar?
It is, reads about 35 at 30. Nah, I just keep an eye on it.
really great monkey videos and an enjoyable voice
Thanks!
Thank you for your video. The 14T makes the bike a little slower i guess. Is there a 13T or 12T that would lower the speed of the bike even more as im 60yo and feels this Monkey is very fast for me.
Im sure you can get smaller yes, will help acceleration but lower top speed.
hello, i have a monkey 125 and your chain interests me could put you under french title thank you alain france
Had my monkey 2 weeks, 150 miles. Looking forward to doing its first maintenance/oil change.
Great video! I am considering purchasing a Monkey and watching every video I can find. Thanks for the decent instructions Oh, did you remember to take the penny out? Just kidding ;)
