REA #43 | Carberry Vibration Reduction Plate Pt.1 | Step by Step Install | Royal Enfield Classic 500

I install the Carberry Vibration Reduction Plate on Doug my Royal Enfield Classic 500 Single. This can be used on all the 500cc, 350cc and 535cc UCE single engines and its claimed to reduce vibrations up to 80%. I reccomend using a puller for this job and you will need a 27mm /28mm puller to complete it. i paid $16.95 on ebay

This carberry vibration reduction plate was supplied to me by Steve Miller. Thank you for the support.

I did get some oil on the lens, which went un-noticed for a time so a section of the video is a bit hazy. sorry!

[@stevemiller7433]

It is I, Steve Miller! Thanks for the mention! You made it look easy!

[@iRidetas]

Its a bit time consuming but not too bad! Hopefully i did you investment justice. Thanks so much for the oppurtunity. Next week video road test! 😊

[@stevemiller7433]

@@iRidetas I look forward to it.. You tested it at idle, I wonder about when the engine is at 3500-4000 RPM, the peak of it's power band. What I want to see is, Does it help at highway speed? This is where the sustained riding takes place and where the vibration is the most fatiguing.

[@iRidetas]

Im very keen to see like you 3000 to 4000rpm and above 60kphr 😊

[@zachpeters7096]

Steve, do you still sell these?

[@stevemiller7433]

@@zachpeters7096 It was an ordering foul up that put two of these in my hands.. I just decided to send the spare to iRidetas to watch him install it. You should be able to order one from Hitchcock's Motorcycles in England.

[@Walt_G]

It's nice to see a well crafted video accompanied by such a helpful and informative comments section. The points made about variable revs and improved lubrication are not something I have seen mentioned elsewhere and both seem like valid observations.

[@iRidetas]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. The iRidetas core community is awesome with its friendlyness and knowledge mate, welcome!

[@fredericoornelas942]

Amazing video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and thoughts with us.

[@iRidetas]

No worries, thanks for the kind comment

[@jamesloveless3712]

Awesome job IRT. I’m going to need the 19 tooth gear upgrade also so may wait till I get both from Hitchcock’s. then I only open him up the once. Thank you for leading the way. You’re invaluable to us Newbies

[@iRidetas]

My pleasure. Thats a very good idea. You dont want the hassle of opening it twice in quick succession!

[@jamesloveless3712]

True, thanks. It also plays to my sense of Looonnnngggg planning and short burst of anxiety induced hands on.

Haha true true but its all pretty simple in there on these bikes!!

[@rollingthunder45]

Hmmmm, 10% is not enough to get me sold on one, but then again I say if you don't like vibes then stay away from big singles, works for me. Interesting vid bro, look forward to the test flight!

[@iRidetas]

I cant wait to put it through its paces for you guys. I think this may not be representitive of its ability! Cheers mate!

[@frankysworld]

I have one on the shelf... originally intended to install when I replaced the front sprocket, but it got in late, so I shelved it as I wanted to see the sprocket upgrade by itself and didn't want to waste my fresh oil. Vibration is not too bad on Badger as it is, so I didn't make it a priority - so I'm happy seeing you put it on and what the results are on the on road test. If worth it, I might have a go - next oil change (which won't be that long as I clock an average of 500 km per week) :)

[@iRidetas]

Im really keen to see how it works, at least it reduces flex and wear and tear. It will be intetesting to see how much it reduces vibration as doug doesnt vibrate much either.

[@luboobernauer9211]

Good job man. Your videos are really helpful. 👍 ... and this one was filmed with with a romantic dreamy oily filter attached to your lens 😁

[@iRidetas]

Haha yeah, wish I'd noticed that earlier!!! Cheers mate!

[@karlallen9389]

Hi I have been running the C reduce vibe plate on mine for around 10 weeks. I found anything over 80k it makes a difference of around 25% to 30% also have grip buddies and a 19 tooth front sprocket. I now cruise the expressways at 110k with no problems at all and can maintain that speed all day my fingers no longer become numb. Like yourself I also run the small screen and maintain at that speed I seem to cut the air with no helmet buffering so much better.

[@iRidetas]

Sounds like a great bike mate with similar mods to doug. I look forward to testing the cvrp on my bike

[@YesquiRay]

The piece of piping is for the correct installation of the plate. People who purchased the plate were having issues with it due to wrong installation. In order for it to be properly installed, one should: -Put the plate and bearings (without spring) in place without placing the screws -Then the alignment tool in the chanel present in the bearings -After that, You tighten the washerand nut in order to apply pressure on the alignment tool Now the plate should be properly aligned Once the Plate is correctly aligned: -Install all the screws -Remove nut and alignment tool -Proceed with installation as seen on your video I´ve installed as above stated and no problems whatsoever. I was experiencing some strong vibrations before changing the plate and upgrading to a 19T sprocket, now those vibrations are gone. Hope it helps Yesqui Ray

[@iRidetas]

Thanks for quoting the instruction supplied! I understand what its was for and followed instructions and found it was not particularly useful part of the installation. This struck me as an after thought to the plate in response to a complaint from someone who couldnt install it. Cheers

[@RidinCountry]

That crank case breather is boss! 👍 ...funny, we bike folks have many “theories!” Haha! Wonderful vid!

[@RidinCountry]

Idle is one thing. Road test will be whole different result. Good luck.

[@iRidetas]

Yup i wanma do some real world riding to see! I love that breather think it looks great! 😊

[@karlallen9389]

The breather stops the air cleaner getting covered in a fine miss of oil and hence keeps it cleaner. I found it was a good mod if you ride your Enfield as some believe inappropriately as I do at maintained highway speeds touring.

[@rajb5595]

It does make some noticeable difference ! I have installed in mine . I have also replaced the rear wheel with 19 inch rim ! Tempering a royal enfield itself is fun ! Lol

[@iRidetas]

I would agree it does make a difference. I have the 19t front sprocket and that works well.

[@amjathkhan2004]

@@iRidetas I own the exact model and color. Can you please elaborate on the 19t front sprocket you mentioned that works well for you? What's the stock sprocket size and what advantages do I have by upgrading to 19t? And should I be prepared for any disadvantages as well? Thank you so much!

[@TheMrMattStephens]

Spooky, I just fitted one of these yesterday, before seeing this video..... But the weather in England has been too poor to test ride yet, although the engine does sound smoother (though that may be down to the oil change). Looking forward to hearing your views of it in real life 😀

[@iRidetas]

Thanks mate, hope it went well for you and it does have a real world improvement!

You’re a bit spooky my friend cause just as I’m thinking, “What makes that plate work better than the other”, you go and tell us, right then as if I was standing next to you and asked the question. Sheesh, I’m going to have to start wearing foil on my head when I watch your videos from now on. Have a great one. Very much looking forward to the road test video when she comes……….but you probably already knew that……Stop it!!!!

[@jeffsinfield2085]

@@iRidetas hahaha, tin is your friend. All the best mate.

[@whatsstefon]

Looking forward to seeing the ultimate results. However, one thing that prevents me from getting the plate is the reports on it not working, but more worryingly the reports on bearing failure as the bearing supplied is not rated for the maximum RPM a UCE 350 or 500 can rev up to. In any circumstance, you want a bearing that's over rated. That's a recipe for disaster in my book.

[@iRidetas]

True but that 5000 rpm its not like its 19000 rpm like my mc19 so surely the bearing is rated for that. We will see. Cheers buddy

[@whatsstefon]

@@iRidetas except, folks are saying the bearing is rated for 4000RPM. That's the scary part when you look up the bearing they're using.

[@Walt_G]

@@iRidetas have you checked what bearing is in it and what RPM it is rated for yourself? I have sen a few reviews for these but they are always based on what people perceive to be the difference, the fact that you are using a vibration app on your phone is an excellent idea. I'm looking forward to seeing the results you get on a ride.

[@frankysworld]

This seems to be indeed a topic of discussion and some people have contacted Hitchcock's about it. Reply from Hitchcocks - They did contact Carberry, "who are not concerned about the speed rating in this application. The reasoning being that the listed 4700 revs is for constant work, eg electric motors. There is a safety factor built in to this and exhaustive testing has proved the bearing to be reliable." They (Hitchcocks) add that having been supplying these for 11 months, "as yet no one has brought to our attention of a bearing failure and there are a few of our customers who have some very high mileages on them. Carberry have been supplying them for considerably longer than we have and reports the only bearing failures they are aware of - are early failures caused by poor fitting. To which they now supply an alignment tool to help prevent this."

[@iRidetas]

Thanks Franky and i didnt check the bearing numbers etc. Before putting it in without knowing there was an issue!

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

That looked easy enough😉

[@iRidetas]

A bit fiddly but yeah all good!

[@thewatchman6074]

"This is the most requested video I have ever had".......That's not the video when you were quite young and needed the cash, Taz?... Sorry, just kidding. Im looking forward to the results of this one. PS. I've found that the single biggest cause of vibration on a Royal Enfield is the ignition key. If you don't turn it, you don't get any vibration.

[@iRidetas]

Hahaha a dude gotta earn cash on the side some how!!!! Im liking your ignition key correlation mate. I might have to steal that line!! Cheers

[@MrEye4get]

Well I attempted to install the Carberry on my Classic 500 and messed up bigtime!! First, I had to remove the foot peg, rear brake pedal and exhaust! After using a gear puller, I removed the magnito (stator?) and failed to secure the small key that keeps it secure on the shaft! It dropped out and fell somewhere! I can't reassemble the engine without it! It's on order from India!! I was told it "takes a while"! I was also told ordering the part would void my warranty; since I opened the engine case. 😥

[@iRidetas]

You were always going to void your warranty mate its part and parcel of modifying any vehicle tbo. Sorry you dropped the part. Just watch the o ring for the oil pump too as you will be in all sorts of bother if you loose that

[@silverback3926]

That wind screen didnt work well for me. I have a 5 inch headlight. I am converting to a 7 inch and may try it again.

[@iRidetas]

Still on my bike and working great! 👍👍

[@brianadolph6191]

27mm puller? Haynes manual says 28mm. I'm gonna attempt this but want to make sure I've got the right tool before wading in. It looks straightforward but I'm a bit mechanically challenged.

No idea mate you will have to do your own research there sorry

[@iRidetas]

Ive never worried much about warranties myself!

[@sidecarcn]

iRidetas Over has mind for just about 5 months and it has been problem after problem after problem. First one was the seat. The adhesive wasn’t good and already had it replaced twice. Second problem is starting when cold (I mean the engine). Today the outside temp is 37,5 and it just won’t turn over. Third problem was the valves needed to be readjusted after about 400km. And the latest problem is the magneto.

[@iRidetas]

Yikes, i would def make sure it is covered as you wouldnt want them shafting you! Sorry to hear man!

[@sidecarcn]

@@iRidetas I gave them until the end of the month to fix these problems. Or as I told the I would contact Vinod K. Dasari the new CEO of Royal Enfield and do it very publicly. I have a number of motorcycles dating from the mid-1930 to 2019. This is the first new bike I ever got that I have had this much trouble. And how slow Royal Enfield is to react doesn't exactly make it better.

The alignment tool does just that before tightening the Allen bolts insert the white tool to align the plate to the crank shaft. Then secure the Allen bolts.
