I Just cleaned my filters first time couple of weeks ago, after 12000km~8000 miles, like it states in the manual. They were almost clean. Been changing oil every 2000km~1250 miles. Used magnetic drain plug since I bought this second hand in march, with it having 400 miles on the clock. My favorite aftermarket exhaust that btw. Wondering myself if to buy one. I bought a magneto holder and kept the spinner filter in place with that. Got it forehand to eventually change the cam chain tensioner wheel when eventually needed. Those wore in these engines, all though slowly. P. S. Important hint to all monkey owners! do not use the kitaco metal cam chain tensioner wheel, all though it is marketed to last the life time of the chain. Well, it is partially true, because it eats the cam chain and itself and then it is pretty much oil filled with metal bits and bye bye engine. Got this tip from a grom guy who blew his engine with one.
Clean that swingarm bolt too, knock it out as very prone to rust and seizing as barely any grease on from factory so clean and regrease while you have it all off the bike anyway, 2 minute job but worth it.
P.s Beezdeals sell a chrome og Honda heatshield instead of the black original for around 40 quid and really sets that exhaust off, i have the same pipe on mine.
yes, well done! if you are going to make a video, at least put things back right! also if you bought the bike used, you still have remainder of warrenty
I tried that, heard that one before. Scratced up the back of my clutch cover, failed to wiggle it off no matter how I tried and the just gave up and removed the foot peg.
@@suomenpresidentti yes taking the footpeg off is so much easier at then I use 6 inch hex wrenches with 3/8" socket end. not even close to touching case. I agree with you on not taking it off. Not a good idea if you want to keep the case and bike scratch free..

Brilliantly helpful video follow it step-by-step and worked perfectly, thank you
Glad I’ve found your channel, I’m thinking of a Monkey this is a great starter video.
Thought about getting one for 18 months..regret not getting one sooner!
@@AlexsWorkshopUK agrees we all need one :D
3:40 he's smoking banana peels.🙈
Thank you! wonderfully done
Thanks for that I just bought one in Canada
What are you doing not using Honda oil like Honda recommends ???
Seems kinda overkill? For 600 mile it’s just drain oil and replace, the stuff behind the cover doesn’t need to be looked at til 8k miles
Danke für das Video👍🏼Ich habe eine 2023 Monkey und frage ob beim ersten Ölwechsel auch wie bei der 4Gang die Ölpumpe gereinigt werden muss?
I would personally..may as well while the engine is empty!
@@AlexsWorkshopUK Danke👍🏼
Great video!

You put the cap backward on your oil spinner Look at your video when you took it apart
Yes..have since corrected it 😊
I received my 2022 monkey for Christmas Black and love it hope you good with yours ty for info 👍
The newer bikes have a oil filter so does this still need to come apart and cleaned still?
Oil filters are a consumable item..best to just replace it while you’re in there
Alex, do you have part numbers for those gaskets? Thanks!
I do!..
OIL FILTER COVER GASKET (15439-K26-901)
CLUTCH COVER GASKET (11394-KYZ-900)
@@AlexsWorkshopUK Thanks!
aI did not see him pull out square filter screen and clean that one. Under spinner in machined slot??
Try watching it again
Good video well presented just need some oil on that camera.
hi Alex do you still have the monkey bike ?
Not anymore. Hetty is far more fun
awesome my friend like the content good luck cute
what's the exhaust and where did you buy it?
Takegawa RS exhaust.. Takegawauk.co.uk
What work stand are you using?
Just a cheap MX step-on stand
I do not have the fastest bike in my neighborhood but I hold the coolest :)
It should still be under warranty even if someone else purchased it from the original owner if it's brand new.
Having to dismantle the engine to get to the filter has put me off! I’ll buy the newer model I think!!
😂

Mate, the first oil change is supposed to have metal in it, you broke the engine in 😁
Yes..though some people never change their oil 🙈
@@AlexsWorkshopUK true 😁
Just to save you time next time, you don’t need to remove the footrest to get the clutch cover off.
I tried that, heard that one before. Scratced up the back of my clutch cover, failed to wiggle it off no matter how I tried and the just gave up and removed the foot peg.

@@suomenpresidentti agreed. This is terrible advice. I scratched my clutch case up terribly by not removing the footrest.
was ist den das für ein Werkzeug das ist doch kein LKW
When did they stop making Hondas for humans?
