- In the ongoing question of "what else can I do to the Monkey?" today we swap out the stock camshaft with a new one from TB Cam. Along with the camshaft, I also sent off my ECU to be flashed by DHMotoring so I can up the rev limiter and perhaps grab 2-3 more HP.
This video also includes how to reset the ECU and TPS just in case someone needs a little help with their Monkey or Grom.

Nice edit - love how you show the action from different cameras simultaneously so you can see exactly what's going on during the reset.
Thanks! I was trying to think of things that would be helpful to see during those procedures (especially since everytime I seem to forget).
@@UnknownOverLand The quality of your video is really good. The sound quality while riding is excellent and the editing is top notch! I'd love to see some drone shots added and perhaps some music added in parts where you go through the US landscape - to see how it could look check out "million dollar bogan" he's a crazy Aussie who uses a lot of drone shots and has some nice editing tricks. He recently did a trip on a Monkey bike which is how I ended up on your channel :)
Thank you so much for this feedback, it really helps. I’ve been trying to figure out how to incorporate some drone shots, so I’ll make that a bit more of a priority to include. I’ve really enjoyed Bogan’s vids and just that crazy adventure as well. Thanks again, I’m going to try and keep making better videos.
Great video man, nice editing too, I love the production value.
Thank you! I've been trying to make the videos a little bit better each time.
Well done video. Would be beneficial sharing with your viewers what the actual GPS top speed achieved (before & after) you kinda left us hanging there at the end.
Thanks! Yeah, with the holidays and weather around here I haven't been able to get a chance to get a real GPS speed run in yet. I'll probably leave a comment here as well as try to post some kind of update video when I finally get that done.
If you really want more power from your Grom or Monkey you need a big bore kit, intake, and exhaust. My 2014 Grom with a 164cc Yuminashi kit, full Akrapovic exhaust, and open air K&N intake makes about 15hp, and takes my 200lb body over 70mph with stock gearing and 10k redline.
That’s definitely true, going bbk is the real way to get good HP out of that little engine. I’ll likely do that in not too long, for now I’ve got the intake, exhaust, cam and a HC piston to see how things go.
Thanks for all the great vids on these 125cc engine!
at 3:27 I see you with two different size tappet adjusting screws. I just did the Tbolt cam on my grom, and am in need of a longer tappet adjuster screw, but not sure where to source them
Thanks so much for watching. Those longer tappet adjustment screws came with my cam, you might contact them and see if they have some.
@@UnknownOverLand thanks for the reply.
And did end up finding them available from TBolt, although I I heard they were made from softer metal than the originals and can mushroom out causing more frequent adjustment needed
I hadn’t realized the difference in material I’m interested to hear if that happens longer term.
Ooohhhh, that's a nice shaft you got there💋
Nice edits. Very informative and entertaining.
Thank you very much.
OG Grimes. I dig it.
Hi overland.ive commented before in the past.14 tooth front and 37 tooth rear sprocket works great for me.faster off the line and 4th gear has some pull to it now.any how a grom club air bnb across the street from me.i came out and took some pictures of them.i think they thought I was going to call the cops on them for riding wheelies down the street.then I pulled out the monkey and rode over to them.they were all happy this twice their old dude pulling up to them likes the same thing.they go all over the place.i was the only one with a monkey. They liked it.😀
Nice! That sounds like you had an awesome time showing those groms what the Monkey can do!
Great vid. Lots of great info.
Thanks for checking it out!
You ride the shit out of the clutch
He's afraid to release that clutch as if it was a fart trying to escape.
Nice vlog manyou do your tps first, and you jump both tps and ecu before you start, that's the other way round than most vlogs explaining the reset,your way makes mor sense, and it sounds real sweet,,I'm watching the ecu reset vlogs and most just do the ecu and not tps,are thay going wrong?
🗽☘
The steps that I used were following the steps in the manual (mostly because I worry too much). The tps reset is needed only in certain situations, so it really just depends on what you’re working on.
Nice video! Apart from the cam, did you changed the valve springs, or tensioner or anything else? I'm thinking of replacing the cam, but i'm worried about the reliability of the bike.
No, I hadn’t. I was contemplating swapping the tensioner, but at the time I didn’t really see a reason to. The timing was modified by the aracer, though, just to help get detonation a little better in line.
@@UnknownOverLand thanks.
Great video, do you loose much low end torque with the new cam? I'm thinking of a cam but maybe the Takegawa 143cc with cam in one kit.
Thanks so much!
With the 14T front sprocket and this cam, this bike is mostly low-end torque (at the expense of my top speed). Since I've also went to stiffer clutch springs, the front end of the bike wants to really come up. As I look to getting the top end speed up, I've been contemplating different larger bore kits for my bike but I've yet to head down that path.
Unknown Overland how does stiffer clutch springs affect the front wheel coming up?
The stiffer springs will put a bit more pressure onto the clutch pressure plate, so when you release the clutch the harder springs will cause them to engage faster.
Unknown Overland oh yea true
Interesting. I didn’t get extended rocker studs when I did mine from dhm
You have gone to a lot of effort for a nominal power gain, and that's ok. I have gained considerably more power from my 2019 Honda Monkey with hardly any effort at all. We all know Monkeys are deathly afraid of lions. Well I obtained some potent male lion urine and I added 5 drops of this urine to a full tank of fuel on my Monkey. The results are incredible. My little Monkey is now making over 20hp. Lion urine is the way to go.
I might just go for a cheapy Lexmoto Tempest, so hoping a better exhaust & inlet will give me some advantage???
I’ve not read much on the Tempests, but it’s a nice looking bike. Allowing more air into the system with the fuel will help the engine a bit.
You put 24t front sprocket on? Are you unsatisfied with the power? I was gonna put a 125 monkey motor in my bike so I can utalize the upgrades but I might just go with a 250cc
On the front I have a 14t sprocket, and that definitely seems like right right option for this bike. I'm still playing around with the back sprocket to find a good match. What kind of bike do you have?
@@UnknownOverLand nice、 I have "2001' yamaha yb-1 four". I live in Japan now but when I move back home I'm gonna import it to the states. I will need a bigger motor to ride with the higher speed limits.
Wow !))) Coool !!!))))
Thank you!
Why did you get the dhm reflash if you kept the bazzaz ?
I went back and forth on this (and, really, still am). Ultimately, because I already had the Z-AFM (self fuel mapper) I opted to keep it installed. This allows me to enable the mapper, go out and ride, and then come back and analyze the fuel/air ratio the bike is actually seeing and apply any changes. I may change my mind in the long run, but pairing that with the raised rev limit and modified ignition timing of the reflash seemed like something I should try.
Can I get a link to the exact Tekton Torque Wrench your using? I like that.
This is the one I use: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FMPKAD0/ (or you can use a sponsored link if you want: amzn.to/3bswgYS).
I'm amazed at the time, effort, and money people put into these minibikes. It's crazy. If I want speed & power, I'll fire up my 95ci Harley davidson Bagger.
My monkey can be what it is..... a gutless wonder....lol
I justified buying the Monkey to keep me from tinkering too much on my Triumph instead. The monkey is such an easy and fun bike, I can just do random things and see what happens.
Did you really say speed and power and Harley in the same sentence?
The reason the new cam is lighter is they will have taken material off the base circle to increase lift?
Different materials (I believe) and removing a bit of the extra material on the lobes will help it spin a bit faster without push back from the engine. I think they also changed a bit of the cam lobes to change the overall compression timing.
What the reason for connecting the paper clips to those elec terminals
That is to reset the ECU.
Hello, no problems engine with camshaft ? Thank you
I haven’t seen any issues with it.
@@UnknownOverLand ok thanks for answering… good day from Belgium 😉
good
Shout-out I'm from Philippines motovlogger 👌
Awesome! Welcome!
How fast did you get it? I see some of these videos of people getting their monkeys up to 65-70mph. One thing is replacing the sprocket with a 14 tooth but then i read that only messes up your speedometer making it think the bike is going faster because its spinning faster?
In general I’ve found replacing that front sprocket with a 14t makes the bike more responsive, but you’re right that it’s going to throw the speedo off. I try to report gps speed when I can (either via my phone or from internal to the GoPro), and with those I have yet to reliably get to 70mph. With my current set of mods I should be a lot closer, but I need to make sure everything is broken in well enough before I really push it hard.
@@UnknownOverLand I did the sprocket change on my Grom and now the speedometer is 3 miles optimistic
I like the idea of an “optimistic speedo”, I may to use that more. :)
How many billions of horse powers more did you got? 🤔
At least 2 but no more than 4.
@@UnknownOverLand ah, ok. 🤣
i would never dare to try that , since from birth i have always been good on breaking things , not fix them ;/
Just takes a little practice and going slow, it can be fun to try things out.
Why not install a turbocharger!
That’d be a fun project.
Do you really need a motorcycle's license for this?
That depends on where you live. In Colorado if it’s more than 50cc you need a motorcycle endorsement.
Or....... just do a 300 swap hahahahahhaa!
True enough. The idea was what can I do before just going bigger engine.
why bother ? just leave it alone hahaha or get a 250 ffs
True enough, which is exactly why I have my Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE (and try not to mess around too much with that bike). The monkey is just a fun bike for lots of different things with.
Yeah Dan wye tune your bike from stock,,,,🤭
