I recently bought the SP Takegawa Titanium Alloy Tappet Adjusting Nuts for my Honda Monkey 125, specifically for the 181cc 4-valve kit upgrade. Here’s my review based on my experience:About Quality and Texture:The quality of the SP Takegawa nuts is impressive. The titanium alloy gives them a premium, solid feel while being lightweight. Compared to the stock tappet nuts, these are not only half the weight, but they also feel incredibly durable. The lighter weight helps reduce the load on the rocker arms, which in turn lowers stress on the engine. This kind of attention to detail in design and materials is something I really appreciate.About the Feeling of Use:After installation, I immediately noticed a smoother engine performance. The lighter weight of the tappet adjusting nuts seems to make the engine rev more freely. It feels like the rocker arms have less strain on them, especially at higher RPMs. The overall responsiveness of the engine has improved, and it gives me more confidence in pushing the 181cc 4-valve kit to its limits.Products to Buy Together:If you're upgrading the tappet adjusting nuts, I’d recommend getting SP Takegawa’s camshaft kit or a performance cam chain to fully optimize the performance of your engine. These complement the tappet nuts and maximize the performance gains.Difficulty of Installation:Installation was fairly straightforward if you have experience working on the top end of the engine. For those who aren’t familiar with engine tuning, it might be best to have a mechanic install it to ensure the nuts are adjusted correctly.Cost Performance and Comparison with Other Products:In terms of price, these are on the higher side compared to standard or aftermarket steel tappet nuts. However, the weight savings and performance boost they provide make them worth the extra cost. The fact that they are half the weight of the stock nuts makes a noticeable difference in engine stress and performance, which justifies the price for me.About Shipping and Packaging:The product was well-packaged and arrived in great condition. SP Takegawa always does a good job with shipping, and this was no exception. It arrived within a reasonable time, and the nuts were securely packaged with no damage.Any Concerns, Cautions, or Advice When Purchasing:One thing to keep in mind is that these tappet nuts are best suited for performance builds like the 181cc 4-valve kit. If you’re running a stock engine, the benefits might not be as noticeable. Also, ensure that you adjust the tappets carefully, as improper adjustment can affect engine performance or cause damage.Overall, I highly recommend these for anyone upgrading their Honda Monkey 125 with a performance kit. The reduction in weight really helps with engine efficiency, especially at high RPMs!
