Yosh is great! I went to the HQ in Corona to buy a spark arrestor for my MX bike and had trouble getting the old insert out. They were nice enough to remove it for me. Top notch products and service!
The kid stole the show! He looks fearless! Climbed on it with socks and probably had 2 feet gap from his little feet to the ground, which he could careless, lol! He reved it like he stole it 🤣 Thanks for the review. I like the look of the exhaust a lot. But I was afraid of getting in trouble in the streets of Colorado (sound wise)! So I called Yoshimura tech support and they guided me to the slip-on version of the exhaust plus the spark arrestor, when time comes! I got to get a Monkey first, lol! It should not be long, dealer said a couple of weeks, let’s see 😎
Haha, yeah he’s fearless alright! Check out his racing videos I have on my channel too. He’s quite the rider at 5-years old! Yeah, the full system is pretty loud, but the spark arrestor hushes it down a bit. The slip on would be even more tame 👌
Thanks John, my 2022 Monkey, Yoshi RS-3 and spark arrestor all arrived today. Going to be busy tomorrow morning. 🙉🍌 Will try with and without, but I think my neighbours are going to prefer it with the spark arrestor. 😆
Thank you so much, that is excellent. Just ordered mine from Yoshimura right after the video. Love the open system but just a mild tone down has its place. I think it'll be perfect. Great work!
Nice review.. I think I like the spark arrester version best. It has a more linear sound without the hot spots in the rev spectrum. Most engines do best with a certain amount of back pressure.
Thanks! He’s the rider of my two, but loves to be on camera (he does some pretty wild stuff on his bikes). His younger brother is typically the one to want to help. He’ll be on one here soon I imagine! Lol
Thanks for sharing, love seeing family incorporated. Keep pumping out these videos. I just picked up a 2021 Monkey. Do all the mods your putting on your bike work for the most current Monkey? Anyways, looking forward to your response. Have a grand one dude!
This makes me happy! My kids are very into what I do so I like to include them. And quite simply, if I don’t, I wouldn’t have the time to do the videos to begin with. All monkeys currently produced are exactly the same, no differences other than color and abs or non-abs
Thanks for your reply. I know what you mean. I have a young child, he’s only 1.5 years old. Such a bright kid. I want to involve him in everything I do because I’m a older dad and want to spend my time to teach him the lessons I learned and make lots of good memories. Like you, I have to use my time and manage them well, I can only fit so much things in a day. Family, work, and Family. Anyways, you seem to be a awesome dad from some of the videos i watched so far. Keep up the good work! Ill be a tuning in to see your progress and hopefully I can get my bike up to about 75-80mph in due time.
John, thank you so much for your videos. I am installing the Yoshimura RS-3 on my Monkey and I ordered this spark arrester as well. Do you have the torque spec for the two bolts that attach the header pipe to the engine?
Dude!! It's great to see you getting your son involved, I wish I did that with my son. It was funny to see him in the back round getting into the shot.also did you mod the handle bars? That's a cool look bro Cool product review. Two thumbs up for your son's jump !!!!!
Hello John. The arrestor looks like it had coked up pretty good, presumably with limited mileage on it. How is it fairing now, assuming you're still using it? Enjoy your videos btw.
Definitely still using it, but I wouldn’t expect it to have much, if any buildup. It’s a clean burning 4-stroke and shouldn’t be blowing by any oil to clog the arrestor. I don’t put many miles on the bike, so I might not be the best to test longevity! Thanks for watching, glad you like the videos!
Thanks, glad you’re enjoying them! Absolutely a performance gain, and no tuning needed with just a pipe. My recommendation setup would be the Yoshi pipe with spark arrestor for max performance gains on just pipe. Add in an intake, and you’ll probably wanna add more fuel with a Bazzaz Z-FI
The sound it produces is impressive! I like the open sound of it, but the insert is nice to have for those times you wanna sneak past the wife and kids! Lol
Thanks!! I don’t know if I’ll do that because I have the previous Yoshimura sound videos on my channel that highlight the open sound. Maybe in the future when I get caught up with editing some of the content I have filmed already I can shoot something
@@John5XR It'll be great to actually compare on video the open vs the spark arrestor sound to distinguish the difference and changes. Its very hard to compare A/B going from one video to another. I'm actually on the verge of purchasing the Yoshimura but have Never heard one in person so that would finally nail it of you can make it happen!!👍
The fit was perfect. Install was easy, but I didn’t notice a change with the spark arrestor though. If it’s quieter, I can’t really tell. Bike seems to run a little better though. ***update***Please see response below.
John5XR I’m going to uninstall it, ride around and then install it back. I spent all day riding another bike around that’s considerably quieter. Maybe that skewed my results.
John5XR I’m going to enjoy a large plate of crow. I uninstalled, farted around the neighborhood, reinstalled and rode 80 miles of mixed side streets and highways. It’s quieter. At full throttle it’s marginally quieter. Cruising at highway speeds with part throttle applications it’s much quieter. Cruising at low speeds in the neighborhood it’s very quiet. I didn’t notice any power loss. In fact I hit 71gps speed (73 indicated)going down hill partially drafting a truck. My previous top speed was 70.

Your apprentice is AWESOME!! Well done, you're a great dad! Great and helpful vid too, thanks.
I am 6' 190lbs and this is the only motorcycle that could get me back to riding after 20+ years.
That kid revs like a boss.
Haha, he’s been training in this technique for about 3-years now. He’s 4 1/2... 😂
Nice review!
Thanks again for all the support and help with this!

Just put mine all together last night. Full system w/ arrestor. Killer looks and sound. Two brothers pegs are nice also.
Fantastic combo! Exactly what I run. I have the Two Brothers pegs on my Grom and they’re good off road. Wish they were a touch wider though
Thank you so much, that is excellent. Just ordered mine from Yoshimura right after the video. Love the open system but just a mild tone down has its place. I think it'll be perfect. Great work!
My thoughts exactly! I know you’ll appreciate it even more in person👌
Your a awesome dad with a amazing son. Glad to be a new subscriber. 👍
Thanks Robert! I am very fortunate to have two lil’ guys who love to do all the things I think are cool! Thanks for subscribing too!
That kids a badass! lol. Picking up my 2020 Monkey tomorrow, Cant wait to get wrenching on it with my 4 year old daughter.
Thanks! He’s gonna get his race wings now that the season is finally starting up 👌
Does the exhaust system add to the top speed or acceleration and do you have to modify the fuel injection system to fully utilize the exhaust pipe.
I gotcha on your other comment 👍
Nice review.. I think I like the spark arrester version best. It has a more linear sound without the hot spots in the rev spectrum. Most engines do best with a certain amount of back pressure.
Any performance change or top speed with the exhaust alone?
Excellent video. Great Mechanic Assistant.
Thanks! He’s the rider of my two, but loves to be on camera (he does some pretty wild stuff on his bikes). His younger brother is typically the one to want to help. He’ll be on one here soon I imagine! Lol
Is it the same reduction in DB with both inserts? (arrestor vs. non arrestor v2). Will the arrestor need replacing over time (carbon buildup etc.)?
No, the spark arrestor insert is considerably quieter than the low-volume insert. The sound is also smoothed out, as in not so "barky"

Aww such a nice kid. Show 3 fingers as 4. Like the 3 musketeers. Lol
Lol, he was “three” for a long time 😂
sounds good. thanks for the video update.
Love you videos, after installing the yoshi pipe , did you notice a performance change? Would you suggest a Dyno tune after?
Thanks, glad you’re enjoying them! Absolutely a performance gain, and no tuning needed with just a pipe. My recommendation setup would be the Yoshi pipe with spark arrestor for max performance gains on just pipe. Add in an intake, and you’ll probably wanna add more fuel with a Bazzaz Z-FI
Hi John! Any idea how many decibels that exhaust makes with SA-18-K Spark Arrestor? Can i use it on street? Thanks for the video!
I’m not confident enough to answer, but I know it’s like 4db lower than the pipe without it
It is 100% street legal, and even more so with the spark arrestor
@@John5XR Thank you! You're making great content! =)
@@John5XR Also; Do you know if it is E admitted?
Not sure what this means, can you explain?
Hope Akrpovic will make a dbkiller as well! Mine is very loud!
You’d need two!
Love my monkey with the Yosi RS3- mine is wide open-Loud ass a Harley Dickenson
The sound it produces is impressive! I like the open sound of it, but the insert is nice to have for those times you wanna sneak past the wife and kids! Lol
Yoshi also fixed the mounting bracket issue.
Good to know! Mine was only off a hair, I just bent it a little and got it
Loved your content John! Can and will you make a video comparing the Yoshimura open sound vs with the spark arrestor plug sound? Please😉
Thanks!! I don’t know if I’ll do that because I have the previous Yoshimura sound videos on my channel that highlight the open sound. Maybe in the future when I get caught up with editing some of the content I have filmed already I can shoot something

Can’t believe you didn’t notice a change! Not so much in tone, but levels. Like turning the volume down a few notches.

Haha, I was gonna say! Glad you saw the results, and impressive top speed!
Does anyone know is the stock muffler USDA Forest Service qualified spark arrestor? How abort the Yosh?
I’d have to imagine the stock system is, but the Yosh off the shelf is not. Add this spark arrestor and I’d think it’d have to be
Dude what's the part number so I can purchase one in the UK
Did it do something power wise?
My butt dyno said it added power throughout the rpm range, but the top speed didn’t seem to change.
I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT ! I HAD DREAMED , THAT- I WAS A MUFFLER ! AND WHEN I WOKEUP .. I WAS EXHAUSTED
😐
What fule controller do you run?
The Bazzaz Z-FI and AFM add-on. I have an install video about it on my channel as well👌
Great videos BTW
SA-18-K ??
