Wouldn't matter if you did want rid of it...nobody wants um.😂😂😂

At 67 years old i prefer a quieter exhaust.

Watching your video have you thought that the bike has a parasitic bleed on the battery, 😢

Awesome. Thanks for your honesty. Keep it real.

I've just looked the item number up, and nothing is showing on eBay, so they have probably gone now, it was about a year ago. So long as the arc is wide enough to go around your clocks, they should fit, most people put the size's of the bar on their adverts. If you ever want to view the advert again on my video, just press pause when it's on the screen. Thanks 👍

I liked your video thank you,have you ever been pulled with that old style plate?

Cracking video. Keeping it real mate. 👍(subbed)

Very enjoyable watch. Your visit to Bill Lomas's dream motorcycle shop had my mouth watering. The problems you highlighted with your BSA are one's I have heard of from other riders of this bike. You have certainly added your touch to your bike and made it unique. I have viewed several of your other videos and look forward to more. All the best. 😊👍🏍

Heaven 😍

I'll definitely have to visit Bill Lomas next time I'm over that way. What a fantastic collection of bikes! The mods you've made to your bike look great, a proper old school cafe racer. The 7k rpm limiter is probably more to do with prolonging engine life rather than limiting power. This engine lives on its torque anyway, and the maximum 55nM is produced at 4k rpm, so I mainly ride that wave between 3k and 5k rpm. It would probably need some lightened internals to spin up much beyond 7k rpm, but if you could retain the torque and increase hp then you'd have the best of both worlds. I do love getting over 70mpg though. It's a massive novelty when compared to 35mpg from my zx12r.

Love the camera, i thought i was the only one who had done that with my phone! My bike fell off stand couple of weeks ago as you described ,nothing worse than the sound of crashing metal, would'nt have happened if i'd left it in gear . You are right about RE , how many bikes can they churn out with the same engine?, anyway didnt stop me owning one though 😄 and at least the engine is a good engine. Hope you get to the bottom of the problem you're having with your BSA , I would love to own one myself , I wonder why Rotax dont just produce their own 650 under their own name, i think they'd sell like hot cakes. Cheers then, happy riding.👍

I had the same problem with my interceptor when I first got it, had it flashed and it was still happening, I changed the relays which hitchcocks ones and it's been fine, good look, it's certainly a great looking bike, Bill lomas shop is an amazing place 👍🇬🇧🙂🏍

What a fantastic shop, if I had the money I’d be buying at least a dozen of those beautiful bikes. Fantastic shop. Oh by the way fantastic video, thank you.😊

Aaay yupp Stu baby.

I really enjoyed your video. Thanks. A great, honest assessment of your bike, which looks awesome, and some difficulties, but also a tour of Bill Lomas’s shop, and describing the KZbin experience. I’m going to pop up to that shop tomorrow now to have a look. I hope you carry on the videos and even keep your down-to-earth approach. Bit concerned the phone might fall off with the sellotape. All the best.

Nice looking bike. It's a shame it keeps cutting out. I hope you can get it sorted. Lovely dog.

That was a good laugh with some great bikes and info thrown in too. Brilliant. 😁

great vid , have you had any hassle about you rear number plate , fancy it myself .

The bike looks great, I like the mods, but a shame it cuts out. I couldn't put up with that. I see your dog looks like the owner. I have a black and silver Miniature Schnauzer, lovely dogs, wonderful characters.😊

The reason for the cutouts ? It'll be that Devils Number in the reg plate !!!! Seriously though, the cutouts would drive me mad plus be a worrying thing too. Had a BMW cut out once on a roundabout. Was not popular with the car drivers and I didn't feel too 'fit' either !!!!

Good work. Liking your content. You have another subscriber. Much better than that annoying prat Stuart Whatshisface .👍

Nice old 70 machines , reminds me of the good motorcycling days. Love your dog , the star.

Each to their own as they say I'm glad you are enjoying your bike. I picked a Royal Enfield as I wanted an air-cooled engine. Had it for two years now with zero problems.

In all the year's I've been riding and in all the different bikes I've bought I've never had one that needed 3 batteries in a year. I must admit I've sold my GoldStar and gone back to Japanese so no-one worries regarding breakdowns for me.

Well worth your perseverance, final angle footage seemed perfect. Thumbs up.

You know mine same. 2nd re map. OK for around 200 Mile then it started again.

Have you connected the choke lever to anything at the other end to give it an authentic feel?

The neighbours might not be happy, so you then hit the Rev limiter to check it’s up to temp.😂😂

had my royal enfield 3 years no problems

What are the handlebars you have fitted to your Gold Star. They look pretty good. Not too much of a stretch?

That took me 3 coffees of watching time but worth every minute! Thanks for the shout out and sorry to have to tell you only teasers were made about several new models in next few years. They won’t muck around with mapping for extra power as even harder emission controls for next year mean extra lambda sensors on bikes. Cutouts are supposed to be fixed with the latest rideability map. I recon your cut outs are fuel starvation, you do like to rev😊 and sudden throttle cutoff will (on lean burn engines) starve it of fuel. A FuelX fitted might be what you need. Keep going with the vids👍

Bill Lomas is an Aladdin's cave of nostalgia right enough! They do Welsh rarebit on toast too. I like what you've done to your bike mate 👍

Pity so many of those bikes have American spec high bars, in the 1970s when I was in my twenties UK spec bikes had flatter bars.

I think it's limited to 7000 to make it A2 legal, probably electronically. There must be a way to reprogram. Although, with a motor as under stressed but torquey as this, I think all the fun would be between 0 - 7k rpm. My guess is it'd be a bit flat further north in the rev range after the 7k mark. Might get very 'vibey' as well!😂 Looks and sounds the part though.

The Z 750 twin were cheap as chips until quite recently. I used to buy them for around £300-£400. I wanted a sidecar to hitch to one of them so a friend found me one in Worksop. The seller insisted that I took an unattached Z750 if I wanted the sidecar. I couldn’t get my breath! I started third kick and the resulting outfit was superb.😊

Good work: you have taken several pounds off the obese 470 pound Mahindra. You are moving in the right direction.

Fantastic! Tried your remedy AND IT WORKED, brilliant.

An awesome and fair overview…thank you

The engine, the power the bars and position of everything is just right. Clocks could be higher, yes. At 59 with bad wrists , shoulders and back, low bars is no longer an option. Fair play to you for going young and sporty.

I'd want a pair of rear-sets with those ace handlebars otherwise its an uncomfortable position to be in. Had an original DBD34 in the mid 60's, only for a few weeks until l took the engine, gearbox, and revcounter off it and put them in a featherbed frame ( after mods to the right hand down tube to except the oil pump) Some bike in its day, still got the photo's, but the bike is long gone.

Coming from the period when the original Goldie was the desire of many a 'Rocker' I've never been sucked into, what l regard the false nostalgia for this Bike. Most of us remember what a 'Pain in the Butt' it could be when used on public roads....Its not so much the bike, its Mahindra/BSA company marketing it has a reborn 'Gold Star'...It isn't!...A 'Rocket Gold Star' was better, .as were many other models BSA models based on the A10 in various states of tuning. In my opinion BSA would have been better going down the same route as Royal Enfield's Intercepter which has an enviable reputation for the Classic Brit-bike look. Having said that, there seems to be a stagnation in Motorcycle sales generally, so all the adverse publicity, not to mention a war on words, this bike is receiving isn't going to help.

Awesome! We'll done with this critical mod. Further mods that I would suggest include a DBD 34 frame and 500cc motor. The result? A real Gold Star!

Much better than BSA's design

Meaning no disrespect,one thousand miles is minimal and cannot fully represent a quality assessment,I’ve done in the last year twenty thousand kilometres in all conditions in twelve months,I’m glad you like the bike but ride it more,ride safe🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇫🇷

Let's be honest, it is a BSA in name only, the current plethora of "motorbikes" oozing from the Indian sub-continent have no connection whatsoever to the heritage of a once great British manufacturer. In the UK these examples of cachu appear to be aimed at the old timers trying to jump on the heritage bandwagon and relive their youth oogling at bikes bike they could never afford at the time. It will all ends in tears. If a BSA badge was stuck on a donkey's backside it will still be an donkey......eeh awh!

Much better than before

What a rigmarole. I am so glad I didn't get one of these things.

Thanks, helped with my starfire

Hi, Though the technique worked for me, it is back (the EML) in just couple of days. I was driving in 2nd or 3rd gear in a traffic road and it turned on. Does it turn on if we are driving in a gear that's matching the speed at which the vehicle is going ? Your inputs / suggestions are much appreciated. I am from India and have purchased the bike just few weeks back. It's launched in India a month ago.

It looks so much better than standard, good job. If i get one i will definitely do the same mods. Maybe you could add some rear sets now?
