Thank you very much! The bike have been upgraded again since this video, it is now blue and black. I loved blue and brown too, but needed something new in my life:))

Thank you! Well, I used cheap kitchen scales which stand on 4 tiny plastic legs. before filming this episode I did exactly like you suggested and as soon as the wheel rolls over the nearest edge of the scale, whey lift up and these tiny legs break and scales don't work. So had to risk my health to record the episode for the KZbin :)

Thank your very much! Let me know if you have any further questions! Always happy to help!

Yes, that sounds promising. Plus the inverted fork for the front!

This is so bad, thanks for letting me know, I will change the title of the video and remove the mentioning of the wheels

I absolutely surely 100% agree with you with all of my heart! This bike is to be enjoyed in so many different ways - from wrenching to riding. Thanks for your comment

@thesundayrides will all heart ❤️ and we have this bike it's a great bike for long term usage . you have a great choice 😉 ❤️from🇮🇳 brother

This is the previous state of the bike. The latest (and its cure is captured in the "all upgrades in one video" episode! Let me know what you think

@@thesundayrides Thanks Max, I see that video now - the styling looks good. Blue and Tan is very classic. Have you decided not to fit the headlight?

Hey! Thanks! I wanted something smaller and slightly different from stock. And most likely there will be no space for the stock bars, because RC 609 are not long enough in the controls. Please measure the control area and search for taller bars with enough space for the grips, switches and brakes and clutch. Also, if you are okay with black - there are many options. If you like gold - you can try rizoma (my previous bars) or renthal rc 609 my current ones.

Hey! I am running it with the baffles, but I am thinking of cutting the baffles in half to make it louder a bit

Thank you very much! It was a drop of a brand new bike, a bit frustrating, but what shall we do? go on!

Thank you! The handlebars is from BAAK - Flat Tracker. I have a video on it on the channel. I love it!

Thank you very much! Yes, I do!

​@@thesundayrides Awesome. I love my interceptor, such a fun bike.

@@thesundayrides Awesome - great bike. I love my interceptor. Sold my bigger bikes and after 20 years riding really enjoying smaller bikes again. Go well dude

thanks very much, you too!

Thanks, brother!

I still have tubes. I thought about the conversion, but in the end didn't do it.

No doubt!

and top it up with a 14T sprocket

Absolutely! In the end, it has to be safe to ride, not only good to look at! Oh.. the bobber, one of my dream bikes!

You are welcome and I am glad that it was interesting. By the way, in my latest videos on the Interceptor you can see which upgrades did survive the test of time and which were taken down.

Hi Daryl! Great to hear from you! Thank you! Its a great idea to do a comparison, cause they bikes are completely different which makes them such a nice companions. There is a reason why I still didn't sell the Inty..

Hey! Thank you very much! Me too, I thought RE Interceptor will be my forever bike, especially after putting so much time, money and love into it. However, there are so many bikes out these to try and enjoy! It is not a bad idea! The bikes are totally different, each has a super power and a weak spot. I think think about it! Thanks!

@@thesundayrides Thanks for replying. Yes, I too, have put a lot of monies in mods and "love" in to my GT 650. I absolutely love it. I doubt I'll change it for the Ducati, but like I said above I'm really liking the Scrambler. I'm just in the "discovery" stage and fantasizing. Ha! Also! I'm down in Kefalonia, Greece. We will be having our 2nd Annual Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride for men's health this coming May. We'd love to have you join us, if you can. I think you are in London? There are direct flights from Gatwick to Kefalonia that time of year. It's a beautiful island. My name is John by the way, and I'm the host of DGR Kefalonia. You can find us on DGR's site. We have plenty of bikes for you to ride too! Anyway, I enjoy your channel, so keep going. Cheers. 👊

Hi John! This is really nice. I will save the date and if all is well on my end I will do my best to come! It was a dream to ride in Greece! What dates?

@@thesundayrides Max, the date for this year's Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride is Sunday, 18 May. It's a global event. There are many places in the UK that have DGR rides. (I think you are in the UK?) So, if you can't make it down to Kefalonia, check-out rides near you. The one in London is huge. Again, we'd love to have you. You can go on DGR's website and find us there, under rides in Greece. Cheers Max! 👊

I think this could be a part of the big plan. I had this thought about the catalytic converter. it is stupidly ugly, it's bright steel colour, it is asking to be replaced with a lovely and elegant straight pipe. Even Ducati has one. I think bikes for the USA market go without the cat.

Get the cheapest parts that do the job, and assume customers would change them, anyway

And pay them again, yeah

Thank you! Same here! The headlight isn't great and I am not a big fan of the cross. Denali changed game! Very happy with them!

@thesundayrides I've also experienced the malfunction of the mudguard. I was thinking that high mounted number plate could help but I'm not riding in bad weather so I haven't bothered doing it.

I think it might help a bit, but the dirt/water is coming from everywhere, so I am not too sure. the front mudguard is useless too. but I have a similar one on my Interceptor and I put it only for the looks. I also choose not to ride in bad weather. And when I choose to ride in mud, I don't mind getting dirty.

See? Shoulda got the triumph

My other option was Triumph Speedtwin, but the cost of insurance has decided against it

hahahaha you have a point, man! I don't think it is shit though :)

Same was mine, but I liked the Nightshift colour more!

Hi there! Thanks! Handlebars is brushed. It is BAAK's Flat tracker bars. Fantastic!

I don't have the bike anymore and I can't check this for you. I think not. But I am not sure!

I think you are right, need to re-do the tests.

my sg650 with fuel X air filter DNA and exhaust silencer did not lose any acceleration when in open loop. In closed loop a noticeable improvement in torque. The air fuel mixture is definitely improved I am now at 3000km and the engine is running like a dream I did go with Iridium spark plugs this helped a little with detonation at higher revs. There shouldn't be any change at higher revs it sounds like something isn't right with the way your motorcycle is running. Start from scratch with the easy stuff, check if the accelerator is opening all the way, check spark plugs, is the clutch adjustment correct and not slipping , etc etc.

Thanks, Ryan! Good points. The first thing would be to re-do the test as is. Could be that my measuring method was incorrect. And then do the checks you suggested.

Hey Emanuel! I already had 22mm bars from my previous bike so I decided to use them. I prepared spacers for 22mm->28mm and installed in the original clamp. I don't know how safe is that!

TEC Big bore header pipes + TEC Cannon exhaust end cans

Thank you very much! Here are they: bonvent-motorbikes.com/air-deflectors-for-royal-enfield-650/

Hi Andreas! I had it for a month and in the month I had it - it was good. I liked the look of the short seat and the additional rack seemed nice feature. In terms of comfort it is a better than a stock one (for me!). I had their other version (full length) for a year and I loved it. Its hard to recommend anything in this world anymore - everyone has a very specific personal taste:)))

thanks

hahah the top speed is above my courage. this setup can easily climb to 80 mph and I am not brave enough to go faster.

Hey! The indicators are from Motone and so is the tail light. I have replaced the tail light with the one from Bonvent.

You are welcome! Sharing my personal experience. Admittedly I was a bit naive and had good amount of high false expectations.

Thank you! It's also one of my favourite features of the bike

Did I say something about the gaiters? I was talking about the front mudguard that is so short that it doesn't stop any mud.

@@thesundayridesAt 2.33. you said "no function". "Gaiters" are another term for "fork covers". I have subscribed as I hope to get this bike

Oh I am so sorry to confuse you. I was pointing at the black metal tubes above the rubber gaiters. The ones above have no function as they cover non functional/not moving part of the fork. They are purely for the aesthetics. Good luck with sourcing the bike!

Oh R9T is a great one too! I always wanted one and may be I get one at some point!

@@thesundayrides it is a good bike but it feels definitely heavier and bigger than scrambler, so a bit different animal

Scrambler is tiny, that's true. I once went for a ride with F900XR and GS1200 and realised how small my moped was. However, I would not want any of those at this part of my biking journey.

@@thesundayrides gs1200 is a mastodon. 9t is not that massive, so not that bad but still bigger than the scrambler

Hey! Yes, absolutely, you don't need to touch the original brake line, just pull the hose a bit more. However, once you have everything fitted, you will probably realise that you don't like the look of the original grey hose and want to replace it with the black one from BAAK.

Thank you very much, buddy! Any questions about the Interceptor/mods - will be happy to help.

Thank you very much! A few more upgrades were installed since than I and I can't wait to find some time to record and show you guys!

lots of videos on this subject on the channel bro

Thanks! Answer to "why?" is very personal and every one has a different opinion. I am glad that you enjoy your bike, but I also hope that you can find something useful on my channel too :) Ride safely!

@thesundayrides I find your channel contains excellent content, and I hope you continue to put out really useful stuff...👍👍

Thank you, very much! I will continue. Currently working on aux light setup for the second bike. I think it will come handy for the dark winter months.

Cool! Great to hear you did similar mods to your bike! Unfortunately the rotation wasn't enough for me, and I still wanted higher bars so I upgraded to the new ones. I will try to make a new video and show my new setup. All the best! Have fun riding and ride safe!

@@thesundayrides oh those golden ones are the new ones??

The golden ones are Rizoma ones. they are +5 cm from stock. I got the new ones (also golded) from Renthal, they are +8 cm from stock

😂

It's a great bike, as stock or slightly customised! To many more happy miles!

Hey there! I've tried two already. I got Rizoma MA009 first, and felt like they were still a bit too low. I got used to it after a while, but the feeling of incompleteness was still there. So I just ordered new ones - Renthal 609 RC High.

It was a pleasure mate and see you at the green lanes!
