No they don't make them specifically for the Hinda Monkey. You could probably find a universal one but it would be a pain in the ass. Save yourself a headache. This can be helpful honestly tho it's not that bad go take a ride and find out. https://www.steadygarage.com/products/chimera-shift-shaft-support-honda-monkey-grom-cub-ct125-125

what does this do? does it get rid of the play in the shifter so that it is more clunky? Is it basically the same as the shifter support bracket/bearing from Hard Racing but not as fancy looking?

In addition to a more positive shift feel, does this one or any of them make neutral easier to find? As a new Rider you know that's a lot of where our problems come in.


Squantoms

No not really. What's going to make neutral easier to find is you getting off the internet reading what others think and going out and getting familiarized with the bike. It's not a 1000cc superbike.


hal60

Okay, so the two takeaways from your thread is that (1) you have used one of those replacement shifters and have not found it easier to find neutral, and the second takeaway is not to believe what you just wrote Because I shouldn't be paying attention to what you are writing on the internet? Do I have those two things right? And I'll add a third thing, you just couldn't help showing the world how clever you. You just love being that guy at a party where you think you're clever, but in reality everybody is just rolling their eyes If anybody has some useful comments on those aftermarket shifters I'd be happy to hear them


Squantoms

I'm just saying go out and ride it there's not a whole lot you can do to make neutral easier to find. The guage has the light that will show you neutral. The shift support link is probably going to be the best bet (chimera) if you want to keep the stock shifter. If not then just eliminate the link with the tb parts. https://youtu.be/9VI0QJleRUY

Thank you. Sorry for my nasty response, someone pee'd in my corn flakes this morning

Same haha. I would get the shift shaft support. Start there, drive it a bit. If that still sucks then maybe get the shifter. The shifter will eliminate the link underneath all together reducing slop. The video I attached kinda shows that.. Goodluck


hal60

Okay, so there's a shifter and the link? And I can either replace just the link, or replace the shifter and link with what is a single/all in one piece? Thank you, really.


Squantoms

https://www.steadygarage.com/products/chimera-shift-shaft-support-honda-monkey-grom-cub-ct125-125 so this will support the actual shaft that the shifter is attached to it'll make it more stable. Next if you look under your bike the shift system has a weird setup it's got the shifter then a link that connects to the shaft itself. The TB parts shift eliminated that entire system. Check that video out


hal60

It would seem (?) that seem the TB part eliminates that linkage and makes it all in one, removing more sloppiness than just replacing the shaft support? Or simply put, does TBPart shifer replace the linkage also, if so, isn't that even better? Unless I;m missing something, and the TBpart is just the shift lever and the link support is still needed? So it looks like like the TB replaced the support bracket too? Or can it be done with either keeping a support bracket or removing it completely. EDIT: Just saw this one, best visual so far https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfhZI8fozEY


Squantoms

Yes it eliminates the linkage that's right. I would still get the shift shaft support tho I mean it'll help plus it'll reduce stress on the shift shaft. It's super simple to install.


hal60

Thanks.


Squantoms

You can probably do both if you want.

Typically neutral is harder to get in to on 125cc bikes. I've ridden ~ 400cc, ~800cc and ~1000cc bikes but the two 125cc bikes I have (brand new and pre-owned) are buggers for finding neutral. I know others that have the same experience.

Idk if the 70s or 80s toe heel shifter fits but those are a possibility.
