Just bought my Monkey need one of these...Number plate version thanks!

How did you get on with the takegawa 145 flash at dynojet ??

I had a Moto Guzzi V100S Mandello with the factory heated grips. I also bought a V7 STONE MODEL 10 and installed the Touring PRO Oxford heated grips on that bike. I did use a 12V relay to trigger the GROUND on the grips (hot stays on the battery) with a switched wire to the ignition. No way to leave them on. So, so, so, so much better heated grips on the V7 than the V100S! The V100's heated grips just tease you with inconsistent warmth. The Oxford grips are STEADY and EFFECTIVE at tossing out a nice even heat all the time and on the LOWEST setting. Even 35 F they keep the digits warm. The TRAVELS stock heated grips will go in a box in the garage probably forever. They work so well that when I swapped the V100S Mandello for a 2025 Moto Guzzi TRAVEL (way better bike for how I ride one) I am REMOVING the factory grips that are awful, and installing the Oxford Touring PRO version and again with the 12V ground relay. I can't recommend the PRO touring version enough for the HEATED part of the equation. The small button is a little hard to push with winter gloves but once they are on, no problems and that's better than a button that gets pushed inadvertantly so I've grown to like the small button. Also, an equation item that is overlooked...the glove to grip traction is phenomenal on the touring PRO version (not sure on the other grip designs). Once you get your mits on them no slip at all and that's REALLY nice and secure feeling. Being silicone, the grips properties are nearly transparent to temperature and stay grippy and pliable. Wear should be really good, too, because of how tough silicone is over TPO's, TPR's or Vinyls. For basic bar grip all year (you can't turn the grip level on and off) not just when heating them, the Oxford Touring PRO are great. I'm not keen on the price, however. They are almost pricing themselves out of the market. Too bad as they are, in my opinion, limiting their market potential with the too high price. If cold hands aren't your thing and you absolutely have to get there in the cold, then the price may be OK to swallow. Yes, I swallowed twice.

spoken to ben he has not heard of any noise from kitaco. can you confirm if problem solved

Thanks for the video guys, subscribed!

hello, great videos. in the intro i see you have a oil cooler mounted in the middle of the dna stage 3 air filter. where did you get that? what brand is it? I've been wanting to mount a Kitaco 5 row oil cooler i got. i just cant figure out how to mount it and the dna stage 3 air filter.

Thanks for the comparison gents. The rattling of my kitaco kit drives me crazy, but I dont want to shell out the cash for another kit. I guess there is no other way to fix it. If I was to get the takegawa kit, would I need to do a dyno re-tune? I am running a piggyback ecu NK Racing Shift Pro for ct125 gen2

have you got video of takegawa also did you find out what was happening with the tapping noise on kitaco

Have you thought about fitting 34mm throttle housing from bens bikes

Noise measurement only makes sense in a dead chamber to avoid reflections

Thanks pals, i liked it so much. Keep the good work !!

Hi chaps. Great channel and great vid as always 👏🏻 I recently installed these grips on my JB02. I connected directly to my noco nlp5 battery. On my first ride out with them they got nice and warm, but about 20 mins into my ride, the battery completely died on me. Swapped the battery back out for the stock one (without the grips) connected and it started fine. Any ideas?

Great video, thank you for sharing

Hi lads, just discovered the channel and have subbed..the new exhaust and shocks look much better than the stock!..ps, nice logo..that’s got to be one of Rob’s from AK?!..he did mine too ha ha 😝 👍

99db is the limit so it is allowed on the road or not ?

Hi Guys,absolutely loving your channel.would you be able to help me with a bit of advice? I have a 2023 monkey with a scorpion exhaust & takegawa air filter fitted.I just purchased a power vision 3 from dynojet after watching one of your previous videos.Ive never flashed anything before & just want to make sure I’m doing the right flash. Can you confirm which of the pre installed flashes I should select.hopefully you can help. Thanks David👍

Get rid of the cat, sounds way better without it

The best exhausts money can buy.

Hi guys can you somehow contact me ? I need a file service for my honda pcx 125?? Can you do it?

Been struggling to find a bracket for a 4p calliper to fit a abs grom. Will this bracket work with standard size disc? Will this bracket fit a abs grom aswell? Not sure if there the same?

非常感謝您的分享，我剛完成kitaco145,聲音吵雜很擔心。看完你的影片我很安心。

What did you torque the header to? Thanks

that sounds a world apart ,cool video

With those 145cc kits, did you install a upgrade oil pump?

Great video. Perfect timing as I’m starting the journey of doing a BBK upgrade to my 2022 Monkey and was just deciding between the Kitaco and Takegawa. I’ll be watching for the dyno results and the 4V install as well (though the price of that kit rules it out for me). The Takegawa kit comes with the N10 cam, but their graphs show better performance with the N20. Any chance you could install the N20 and compare dyno results?

Been waiting on this and can't wait to see the 4V! I fitted the Kitaco kit before the Takegawa one was available; mine didn't make any noises like yours to be fair. Looking for more power I've since fitted a Yuminashi high comp 54mm piston into my Kitaco bore and it's going great - it's semi domed up so maybe even more compression...

Interesting video,question is when you lads gonna have some merchandise for sale ? 👍

Good to see you back !!

ดีที่ได้เห็น ทดลองทั้งสองแบรนด์ กำลังจะซื้อ takegawa 145cc big bore อยู่พอดี

I would also realy like a video, where you how how to setup the dash, all settings etc. Thanks in advance. Also a link to the English instructions would be helpfull.

Perfect work, I learned something again.After all, that's why the space is live all the time, right ? Thanks.

Do you also have a bigger injector?

Who done your ECU flash after these mods?

Hi, ‘R you still in business? I’ve already sent you some messages through fb, but no response ? Kind regards Jeffrey

The truth is if you change the exhaust you need to use earplugs. All above 80db will damage your hearing in the long run.

Hi guys Love the channel! Currently running ZR1000A2, contemplating switching to new Monkey. Can't stand noisy exhausts so an after market pipe is out of the question Thinking bog stock plus a 145 kit. Went on Dyno jet site but got a bit confused, it's a power vision 3 I'd need to re-map ECU, or take it to dynojet? Kind regards Simon K

Just had a fault with mine, luckily they already were on the bike when i brought it. Was working fine for a while, then suddenly (on a hot day too), I didnt turn them on or anything, I just noticed the right grip was getting hotter and hotter over time, I came back out of a shop and it was hot to touch like HOT couldnt hold them for longer then 2 seconds, even when the bike is completly off they wouldnt stop heating up. The light wasnt even on and I couldnt even turn them off or even "on". They are meant to detect your hands too so it stops heating up when you take your hands off. Luckily I didn't spend money on them tho 🤣

Brilliant set of videos, very well explained thanks

Awesome

ha nice vid. Hope you’re well James 👍🏻

I've owned Aprilia RSVR's, Tuono's, Ducati's, all used the Brembo clam for the rear caliper. When they're underslung, it's virtually impossible to bleed them without taking them off the mount and rotating the caliper so that the bleed nipple is above the pistons...(at the highest point) otherwise a bubble of air gets trapped. You did really well if you managed to bleed without doing this!

Nice! you guys deserve it! looking forward to seeing more!

how hot do they get ? hot enough to have to turn them down in colder temps.

May i ask, After boreup 145 and Dna 3 Stage. You dont add oil cooler ? Is it need to upgrade oil cooler or no ? Thank you

too fast 😮

why do you wear gloves to undo a box?

This has to be one of best build videos i have seen on youtube. Great channel, cant believe i have only just found it now!

Hi Sir, may I politely ask for sone questions? If I would upload the second map, optimized on that monkey, on another one (same model year), would it pull out the same performance or it’s necessary to have a dyno launch, because of the whole bike system repeatability? With the new air-fuel ratio/ ignition advance fine tuning, does the gas mileage get better or worse? Does it pass euro 5 periodical DMV check? Is it possible to keep it at max speed for tens of kilometers and I think they keep it rich for that reason: will it be safe with the new map? Having the bike under warranty, does the shop immediately find out the map isn’t stock so it automatically drops or should they investigate each window of the table? Thank you in advance.

Thanks for putting this video together. I was looking for this specific upgrade since I often ride with my wife on the back and I need that added braking power. Have you upgraded to steel braided lines or the Brembo master cylinder yet? What percentage would you say over the stock calipers has been the increase in stopping power? Sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance! Keep the vids coming!

Clean and neat! I love your works.
