Gives a Premium Feel to the Gear Changing on the Monkey 125

Looked foward installing the Takegawa Slipper Clutch on my Monkey Z125, but because of confusing installation instructions, the original Japanese and English versions are different, even the torque values differ, I was not able to finish the installation.I received within the package some washers, for which there is no indication on the English/Japanese install manuals, where, with which part to use or replace them. In watching some YouTube installations (for example 'Small Bore&More) for the Takegawa Slipper Clutch, they did not have some of the parts I received.Confusing.Anyway, failure on my side, I had to revert back to the original clutch.

About quality and texture - The slipper clutch kit from SP Takegawa is made from aluminium and steel with a lovely machined surface finish on the outer rim, the quality from the overall fit and finish is perfect.About the feeling of use - The slipper clutch kit would have to be the best kit if you are looking to achieve smoother downshifts and improve the clutch appearance. Nice to also see the the clutch pressure plate with all six posts being drilled and tapped to accept the corresponding lifter plate.Products to buy together - A key product to purchase when upgrading to this clutch system is a set of heavier duty clutch disks. There are varying degrees of aftermarket clutch disk kits available, just depends what suits you.Difficulty of installation - The installation of the slipper clutch kit is an intermediate task that took 1.0 hour to complete. Some mechanical aptitude and the use of special tooling and basic hand tools is what is required to access the engine internals and assemble the slipper clutch kit to secure onto the main shaft of the tramsmission.Cost performance and comparison with other products - I find the cost of all the products SP Takegawa sell to be on par when compared to what most other companies sell their products for and the slipper clutch kit is no different..About shipping and packaging - With there being no significant cost difference between sea freight and EMS for the slipper clutch kit, I chose EMS for an earlier arrive date. The part was extremely well protected while being covered in bubble wrap and surrounded with air pillows in a sturdy cardboard box.Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing - Webike Japan is the first place I look to for all my motorcycle needs. From service parts to performance products and even motorcycle gear and apparel, Webike always seem to satisfy my needs in regards to availability and pricing.View Detail

The 2015 and later models of the Ninja 250 are Standard Equipment This is a comparison with the OEM Slipper clutch.
I felt the Takekawa Slipper Clutch was a little better in terms of effectiveness.
The cut of the Clutch is better and quicker than the OEMSlipper Clutch.
OEMClutch (No Slippers) The closest thing to the Fee Ring of the Takekawa Slipper Clutch is the Takekawa Slipper Clutch.
Slipper clutch made by Takekawa has a lightness of pull of the Clutch lever. OEMClutch (No Slippers) but the OEMSlipper clutch has an Assist and the Clutch Spring is in three. (OEM Clutch and Takekawa Slipper Clutch have 4 clutches) So Lever's pull is much lighter.

It seems to be a matter of preference as to which is better.
If you want to install it on a model year vehicle that does not have the OEM Slipper Clutch, both of these clutches can be used. I recommend it, but I think the Takekawa Slipper clutch is a little less expensive.

DIY installation can be done with the right tools.View Detail

About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of the stainless steel header pipe and satin stainless steel muffler which is finished with a unique carbon fibre end cap. About the feeling of use: Super lightweight compared to the Honda exhaust which results in a good weight saving. This muffler design is on a larger proportion for the Grom but it manages to create a big bike sound from the little 125cc motor. Products to buy together: Some form of higher flow air filter would also be desirable to purchase along side this full exhaust system, I will be going with an open air intake from Kitaco. Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes about one hour to complete. A new gasket for the forward mounting flange is recommended. Not difficult to do. Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as you are receiving a well designed and manufactured product using quality materials that will help increase performance but there are also other options for much less cost, so browse Webike available exhausts if you have a lower exhaust budget. About shipping and packaging: Sea frieght is my preferred method of shipping due to the lower cost and it is fantastic that it has returned as an option once again so I can put my money toward parts and not high shipping costs. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: A JMCA approved exhaust so it is suited for everyone that needs an exhaust to my legal specifications.View Detail

The adjustable band makes this tool very versatile for varies sized motorcycle parts.Products to buy together: Some more tooling like a center lock nut wrench would also be desirable to purchase along side the pulley holder so when it comes time to remove the clutch assembly and oil spinner on your Honda Grom you have all the special tooling required to complete the job.Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes a few minutes, place the pulley holder around the part that needs to be held and adjust the band if required. Tighten down the T handle so that the band holder does not allow the part to spin as you undo the fastener securing the part. Not difficult to do.Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as this is a quality made band holder from Kitaco that has with stood numerous usage without failure as compared to the first band hold that I purchased from another site that failed soon after.About shipping and packaging: The faster shipping options are too expensive for myself so I just have to wait for my part to arrive via sea freight. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged.Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: These band holder are limited to the sized parts they can hold.

About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of the stainless steel header pipe and polished stainless steel muffler which is finished with a unique designed end cap.

This exhaust system design and proportions are well suited to the Grom and it manages to generate an enjoyable exhaust note from the little 125cc motor.

About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of the titanium exhaust from Over Racing. The muffler is quite compact with a removable baffle inside and made from titanium, while the exhaust piping is very large in diameter at the exhaust port end and just continues to expand all the way up to the muffler connection and is also made from titanium. About the feeling of use: The titanium exhaust is an aggressive looking exhaust on the Grom but the exhaust note is very enjoyable to hear at idle and through the entire RPM range due to the baffling within the short muffler. Products to buy together: Some form of higher flow air filter would also be desirable to purchase alongside this titanium exhaust to help achieve maximum performance. Difficulty of installation: The process to install took about one hour, I was removing an aftermarket exhaust which was very simple as it was just the two nuts at the front and one bolt at the back but the exhaust port gasket was very difficult to remove. Cost performance and comparison with other products: High costing but you are getting a full titanium exhaust system with features to help obtain high performance at a high price as compared to the much cheaper stainless steel version available from Over Racing. About shipping and packaging: Sea frieght is my preferred method of shipping due to the lower cost and it is fantastic that it has returned as an option once again so I can put my money toward parts and not high shipping costs. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: Zero concerns or cautions on this product and the advice is to purchase if you have the money. View Detail

About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of the sports camshaft from SP Takegawa, wonderful machining throughout and great quality bearings fitted. About the feeling of use: I was looking for a camshaft to make the 125cc engine higher revving which it has and I'm really happy with how it performs on the open road with no real loss of power in the lower RPMs which is ideal for around town. Products to buy together: Some type of fuel controller is needed to be purchase along side the sports camshaft, the SP Takegawa FICON 2 is well suited to this type of performance modification. Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes about half an hour, was an easy job to complete after reading through the Honda service manual directions. Not difficult to do.
