Suggestion for putting the bike on the center stand from a 5'8", 170# 70-year-old. Of course, proper footwear is important. This method utilizes the superior strength of your legs over your arms. #1, With bike on side stand, left hand on left grip, right hand on lifting handle with knuckles facing towards seat, right foot on center stand leg, foot facing forward and body facing forward. #2, While applying force with your right foot, stand bike vertical until both center stand feet are touching the pavement. #3, Exert pressure on the center stand with your right foot, while at the same time shifting your body weight rearward. Your right hand is not so much lifting the bike as it's providing an anchor point for your leg to push against.

Nice. Try putting a 5 to 100mm mat under your rear tyre also. Raises the bike enough to make the whole operation so much easier if you are on original length shocks.

Ordered these after your last video, very pleased the install video didn't take too long to come out. Well done Teacher! I saw a similar solution to the centre stand on another channel, very keen to see the belt drive video and your feedback on that mod. Gotta say that, while I would love to do that mod it's a little out of my budget.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

You are welcome. I hope you find them as comfort changing as I do. A future comment after fitting would be welcomed 🙏

Teacher T, i do like the belt drive system, and, plan to put that on the SM650 of mine! Will replace the rear ahocks without hesitation-I'm 5'10" tall with 30" inseam. Biggest reason is-I weigh 280lbs. Thank-you for the update on these 2 upgrades! Doug🏍️🎉👍🤓🇺🇸🦅

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

You are welcome Doug. I’m only 5’8’’ with an inside leg of 28’’. So I doubt you need the lowering version of the shock. But you certainly need preload set to 2 you big boy you 😂🙏

Hi there, the process is quite straight forward, thanks for showing us. However, I just have a query, the torque setting quoted, ie 13ft/lb seems very low. Is this a Royal Enfield spec? Cheers

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

No, not direct from RE.But from another source. It does sound low, but I think it’s right. I will try and do more research on it 🙏

[@hansfeigenwinter199]

Danke!

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@MrBosna72]

Hello! Thank you for this video! I also bought new rear shocks and I will install them soon. One question: Do you know the recommended torque?

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

13ft lbs and a bit of loctite will sort it ;-)

[@anishbagchi]

I was under the impression that you were on a belt drive ? How did you go back to chains and sprockets ? Please do share. Thanks.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

The production run was not hard anodised. The process happened when I was in UK for 1 month. I have had my bike stripped 4 times, and on and off 2 times. This is the final time. 🙏

[@mihaelamocanu6417]

Thank you for video! I have been looking at this model of motorcycle for a few weeks, it may be my next new motorcycle. What is your height? I'm 1.65m and I'm trying to figure out if it would fit me.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

I’m 5’8’’ or 172 cm and weight 80kg. But my inside leg is only 28’’ which is why a struggle for height on all motorcycles. But not on the Meteor anymore 🙏

@@mihaelamocanu6417 no problem. Good luck.

[@diegoserranogil7145]

Great video, but I dont known if its good idea to change the shapes of the bike.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

It’s a personal choice. And it works for me. But original length shocks are available 🙏

[@davidkirk4727]

Hi do you have the part number for the shocks? Ta. p.s. fitting belt drive next week!

[@alejandroarieldallamarta5753]

Hello, I want your opinion if you would recommend SM 650 as a first motorcycle, I always drive scooters and very low displacement motorcycles, thank you

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

I would say no. It's too heavy and too powerful for a first motorcycle. But the Meteor 350 however is a perfect choice. I had one for 2.5 years before upgrading to the 650 and to be honest I still miss it. I made a video about it kzbin.info/www/bejne/oorZeZl7falgaJosi=dGChOR0gpgLEs5kQ

@@Teacher-T-Thailand Thanks for responding and I appreciate your advice.

[@TXLorenzo]

What was your price for a pair of these?

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

£220 plus UK tax (20%) plus postage. I think if you order from out side UK, UK tax is not applied. Not 100% sure, but I think that’s the case 🙏

[@TXLorenzo]

Is that price for one or a pair?

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Pair 😂🙏

[@ThePlough1978]

Just catching up.. Been ill, is it for sale half price yet🤤 Launching my channel soon with a GoPro 7 😂 maybe we can do a collab.. But I only got two subs and their both me from my other failed channels.. P.S My 350 fireball yellow just hit 27,500 km, Cheers 🍻 *Crap Game* 🎉

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

I’ll give you 50 000 for it 😂🙏
