I have 5800 miles on my Monkey and 1000 on my wife’s. My engine started tapping at 5000, but the dealer adjusted and fixed the issue. Stay away from the Vance and Hines exhaust…..no heat shield. I learned that the hard way. My Harley is for long trips, and the Monkey is my grocery-getter or ride-to-the-beach bike.
Good to know, haven’t had anything engine issues on my monkey yet but I had to replace the front axle because I think mine was slightly warped and I could feel the vibration. The monkey is so much fun for quick little rides around town. Can’t wait for riding season, thanks for the comment!
The first valve adjustment is at 600 miles and according to the owners manual every 4,000 miles after that personally I would check them every 2,000 miles . So, if that had not been done it was due. I have a 2023.
Great vid but I have no idea why someone with two full size bikes would ever want to find himself on one of those. I am glad you're enjoying it; just be careful on the streets with real traffic.
My monkey made a horrible noise starting. They do break. Mines still in the shop and they can’t figure out what’s wrong with it. Videos on my page is you wanna hear it

That was a very nice presentation. I’ll be getting the blue Dax soon.
Thanks! The Dax looks awesome! 👏
What it needs... is a TURBO. There's nothing a turbo can't fix :D
You first lol
@@IronBornRider HAHA, no thanks :D
Yea, a turbo on an off-road bike? Hell no! Perfect the way it is!
@@jessbailey6718 Oh, c'mon, live a little! :D

Thanks! It’s just a different tool for a different purpose.
I prefer riding my mini bikes over my full size when possible.
Soo. You... have never ridden one is what your saying. If you rode one of these Honda mini bikes and can't find the value. That's a you problem
First upgrade S&S 475 cam brotherrrrrr
It’s happening

@@machyne82 I just took a listen to it. First time hearing that noise
@ they replaced the starter clutch, that didn’t fix the noise. Now they’re replacing the starter. Hopefully that solves it.
