30 years from now the Monkeys that survive, owners will be searching high and low for stock factory parts to put back 100% original. ☺
I keep everything boxed and labled to put back to stock.
The Monkey will be with me until the day I die though so somebody will end up with a great package.
@@Nathan-vl8xc yep. Me too.
Thank you for the video. Viewers - be warned. The intake clamp screw is a PRICK of a thing to get off and you will most likely strip it. Absolute nightmare.
I wish I would have been prepared for this. I ended up drilling it out since you don’t need the screw/clamp for the new intake. I wasted like 40 minutes with that screw.
I impacted it, came loose quick lol
Honda doesn’t use standard #2 Phillips. They are JIS #2; Japanese Industrial Standard. Just saying they won’t cam out. Vessell tools makes the best ones, I’ve worked on them for 45+ years…😊
Great video! Just completed my Chimera cold air intake on my 2019 Monkey. Your video was extremely helpful as I was doing the install. Great camera work!
i just installed mine. after i pulled the left cover off, i hooked up the wire extension then started the bike. figured if the bike started and no engine light, i would be safe to perform the intake install without worry.
Nice video, always nice to see new monkey videos being uploaded👍👍
Thank you!
Awesome work! I like the placement of the vent pipes, I need to go and look at how I have things on my Monkey and maybe make some changes.
Awesome! We're glad to help!
need more content like this!
Excellent tutorial, thank you! Great outtakes too 😂
Well that wasn't as easy as I had hoped. Some screws were nice and easy but the clamp on the throttle body was so tight it basically stripped it. Was a nightmare. But thanks for the video. Was super helpful.
Same thing happened to me-I just ended up drilling it out because you don’t need that bolt for the install of the new intake anyway. But it was a pain!
@@OlRed184 pretty much drilled it out too. Just sucks that his video looked so easy lol. But got it installed and it's great
Rarest bikes in the world are the ones that were left 100% stock. Lol.
See ya in 50 years. Please keep the old parts in a box!
Hi I have ordered several items from Steady Garage ! the Chimera air Intake! and 500 dollars worth of other items! hoping to receive my items soon so I can upgrade my new Honda Monkey! I want to include it in my CZcams channel normally riding Harley Davidson Motorcycles, but showing its a Motorcycle riding in Cyprus channel and includes other Motorcycles! Will use your videos for installation! Thanks!
Awesome vid I wanna get the 2020 edition
Your pipe is much better looking than the yosh pipe .. what is it
The IAT screw hole threads on it are litterally made of butter, buyer beware.
EDIT: I rma'd it and they sent me back an intake that has much better looking threads. May have been a bad batch or manufacturer error.
I have a through exhaust without a catalytic converter. If I install such an intake system with a cone filter, will the adjustment capabilities of the original ECU be enough? I am afraid that the mixture will be too lean as a result, let me know how it works in practice. second question, will the check light come on when I exceed a certain level of injection corrections?
Good video! Thanks!
What are the pros and cons? I suspect that the amount of horsepower is increasing +1 xD
Nice vid thanks!
Thank you
I got the check engine light on after install . Steps to correct?
Check engine light will come up no matter if you do all of that. ECUflash is needed after allowing more air in . Otherwise your monkey will run like shit . I did this and regretted so am just sticking with the yoshi exhaust only :(
thanks for the video, I know I'm a bit late to this but did you make any changed to the ECU with these mods?
From where you bought them and it fit on 2024 model?
Hello I just saw an older video on the air intake install. My question is if I got the intake hour it fit on newer Honda monkeys ? Also I like your dual exhaust, where can I get ahold of one ? Thanks
There is a version for the newer Monkey here: www.steadygarage.com/products/chimera-short-ram-2022-honda-monkey-125-air-intake-system
czcams.com/video/qN3wWgkEBA8/video.htmlsi=0p3DZEuSresNCYHB
Will this work exactly the same on a 2020?
Check engine light is on. Pins on cable extension look good. Is there a way to try and reset it?
I installed mine, factory everything else. And the bike seems to not get up as fast as it used to, why does my bike sound great but feel weaker? any help is appreciated!
Hi. . Great video, does this require a ecu tune or anything else to run.. or is it a case of installing and that's it 👍
Installing and running it would be fine. For optimal engine performance, tuning is recommended.
@@steadygarage great.. thanks for the reply.
@Smooth Move yes, unless you are doing some serious engine surgeries :DD
Looks good
After this mod, can u smell gasoline vapors? I like to keep my monkey inside my house
If you look at the video you will see you over tighten the bolt by Comparing it to the other side, you’ll see it’s not compressed evenly your side is over compressed
Does anybody happen to know if the Chimera short rod intake for the 2019-2021 monkey can be fitted to the new 2022 monkey ?
Does this intake need an ECM flash and redo / retune or not?
Anyone get a check engine light after install?
Do you have to race tune it
Kicks some ass huh? Yeah, until a dude on a clone rolls up with a zs190 or 212 swap and smokes ya with 20+ hp and 5 gears.
Just teasing... Intake install looks clean. Nice tutorial.
What is the exhaust that you have?
When you replace the air filter and exhaust do you have to buy a race tuner for it
no sir, as the sensors will do all little stuffs, unless you are doing some serious surgeries on the engine like: Camshaft, piston, bore n stroke, etc. That will take time to remap the ECU for it. And for older bikes that dont use too much electronic components it will be a lot easier to do with surgeries
Do I need to down low engine when I install air filter and exhaust
no sir, as a novice bike mechanic I could say that Honda bikes are pretty easy to modified some alternative stuffs
how much do I have to bend the bracket in order to get the intake to fit under the tank?
Jin Xue get a tank riser kit problemo solved
Works ok in the rain?
You could get the Sprint Filter - Water Proof Air FIlter option if you are going to ride in the rain. www.steadygarage.com/store/sprint-filter-conical-universal-waterproof-air-filter-49-50mm
+1hp = 10hp
More Agressive sound.
Better mid-range acceleration / rpms
Brian Mccann For a1000 dollars
dave g 124 bucks, easy there big fella
Well im not impressed about the quality of the kit,first of all why make it so the crankhose stay so near the exhaustpipe? and second why have the breather of the tank so close to the hottest part of the bike? its a firehazard for sure
The space looks so empty now.
For Me it’s really what stops me from doing that mod the bike looks strange without the factory cover.
Sweeet
Way too loud! The air intake sounds of this 125 engine seem to amplified by this metal pipe. Commuting on this bike requires high RPM running. The sound that this product produces at RPM drowns out all other sounds around you. I had installed a Takegawa exhaust system that has an awesome tone to it that I could no longer hear because of the intake noise. I tried to run with this intake system for a little over a week but I could not get used to it. I switched back to the sock air box and now have a much more enjoyable ride. That's what it's all about right? oh! and the wiring adapter to the IAT that comes with it is a total piece of crap. Extend your bikes own harness wires to the IAT sensor.
