HONDA MONKEY Africa OEM Diversion HACK
Here's a fascinating motorcycle hack from "Tagosaku" who rides the MONKEY Africa, from the Webike Community MOTO HACK campaign! Tagosaku will introduce the OEM diversion technique of MONKEY Africa, which he understands well because he is the owner!
Tagosaku's Brief Self-introduction
- Motorcycle history → About 30 years
- How do I enjoy my motorcycle on a regular basis → It may be more common to put on and polish aftermarket parts than to take a walk in the neighborhood, touring a long distance once a year, or riding.
- Period of riding this motorcycle→ I have been riding this motorcycle for about 16 years.
Brief explanation of this HACK
It is a diversion of OEM parts that takes advantage of the strength of the longevity model. There is no performance improvement. It's a world of self-satisfaction, but if you apply it, you can use other OEM parts even more, so the possibilities will expand.
Parts, tools, and other things required for this HACK
Product Name: OEM Key

I noticed that it's been about 6 years since this model of Kumamon's MONKEY was released. I don't know if parts are still available, but I'm sure there are more if you look for the parts. If you go to the Webike site and enter the model number from the OEM Parts purchasing page, you'll be informed of how many stocks available and how much is the cost. Just enter the required number and click, and you'll get it in a few days. It is safe to find a locksmith to drill a groove in advance.

HACK method, explanation, work procedure, etc.
There are left and right keys. Look carefully at your key and make sure you purchase the correct key. Also, this Kumamon key is not far from being designated as an endangered species. Don't purchase more than you need in order to make sure that the person who wants it can get it at a fixed price, and don't get it for resale.
These MONKEY Baja and MONKEY Africa are hardly ever seen anymore. It cost a lot of money at a certain auction or motorcycle shop. I don't plan to give it away, so I will move it out from the dusty garage to inside my home and take care of it.
MOTO HACK Summary
You'll need to have a locksmith drill a groove, but you can still get a spare key for around 19 USD, including the key itself. The 50cc MONKEY is long-lived models, so there are lots of limited edition models and keys to go with them. If you get a key for the model you wanted but didn't change it, and use it for different things on different days, you feel like you've owned more than one. You'll be looking forward to riding your motorcycle. Which motorcycle shall I ride today? or which key shall I take today?
