  • My Honda Navi has been neglected ever since its exhaust stud broke almost 5 weeks ago, but it's finally time to fix it AND throw on a new mod I've had sitting around! I wish I could say it all went smoothly, but uhh...well you'll see! haha

    The solution for your disappearing wrench problem is go to an estate sale or fair grounds and buy a bunch of used 11mm wrenches. I have like seven 13 mm wrenches. I have a nice selection of 10 mm wrenches also from ratcheting to long. It's nice to have extras and doubles.

      If you’re talking about the exhaust stud that broke, that’s not a Honda thing I don’t think. Navi’s are notorious for breaking exhausts, especially the Vance & Hines that break at the flange weld. I think the Yoshi is just so beefy and strong that instead of the flange weld breaking under stress, the stud took the brunt of it. To be fair, I didn’t use a torque wrench the first time so it very well could’ve been over/under torqued, and it broke when I hit a huge bump, so it was just the perfect storm for a break in my opinion 🤷🏼‍♂️

    My Navi started sounding horrible. I just checked underneath today & one stud is cracked off like yours & part of it is stuck in the block :( the 2 nuts are gone & the gasket is disintegrated. Ordered a new stud for only $1.87. It's great that the parts on this bike are dirt cheap but really wish they used a better quality stud for the exhaust. I'm sure it will be a nightmare to remove the broken off piece. Do you think I should drain out the gas before putting the Navi on its side like that?

The seat was much more plush and the seating position felt more relaxed. Not sure if the ergos are actually different, but that’s how it felt. I believe the Monkey is also geared a bit different to have a bit more low end. Plus, the Monkey feels much more “utilitarian” whereas the Grom feels more “hooligan” if that makes sense. I looove my Grom, but if I were buying new right now I think I’d go Monkey over Grom!

    Next time try a left handed drill bit, and don't forget that because it is left handed you have to run the drill in revers. Most times the bolt will come out with the drill, but always use a drill that is right for the ez out just in case it dose not come out, I find the square ez outs work best, but for get about the snap on ones they break or round off way to easy . When you use a right hand drill you are making the bolt tighter in stead of backing it out, which makes it harder for the ez out to work. You can also get a extension for the drill to hold the drill farther away so no need to squeeze the drill in a tight spot making it a lot easer to line the drill up to the bolt. Pays to be a Industrial Millwright some times. By the way I do like most of snap on tools just not there ez outs.

    For the side of the license plate mounting hole/ plate screw you were having trouble with; pull the mounting nut off the turn signal mounting screw and slide the turn signal out of the hole (don't worry about the wire, it's not in the way enough to matter). Now mount the plate with the plastic screw and nut, and then trim the extra plastic off the screw that sticks past the now screwed on nut. Re-mount the turn signal and life is now back in equilibrium. 😉

    LifeOfBurch Have you modded your other NAVI much, since buying the Nut Brown One? Considering you were already in there I might have done the other bolt too; because #1 it would have been stressed from the other one breaking. #2. You don't know if HONDA put anti-seize on it. P.S. I have a "hack" for the broken bolt that worked for me once. I drilled a small hole in the bolt (smaller than you did) then inserted a hardened steel rod coated in super glue. Once dried I was able to lock on to the rod enough to get it out.
