Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor -Motone Bar Risers Re-Fit!

[@Dave-in-France]

Hi Warro, excellent video with the new camera. The picture quality is great, as are the close-ups which show in detail what to expect. So it takes away any surprises which might put people off doing stuff.

[@ridewithwarro]

thanks! greatly appreciated you went to the trouble to drop a comment here to let me know what you thought of the new camera set-up. my last clip on the new 14t sprocket on the ktm adventure bike left a lot to be desired with some terrible out of focus shots from my usual point and shoot cheaper camera. I hope to get this camera well under control and at least improve the visual quality with great detail.

[@georgezuss2925]

Friend, I don't know what that camera cost but it was worth every penny. Image clarity is superb and I didnt see any shake or delay in focussing. Tableside seat for your workshop antics is way more useful than you imagine. Plenty of folk have almost the capacity to dabble but just need the final nudge of confidence provided by someone with the confidence to jump straight in. That would be you, then. I think you underestimate how much you offer to others, mate. Great work on a great new piece of kit. Thank you kindly, chap......keep up the good work.....

[@ridewithwarro]

thanks George, hoping to upgrade the channel content a bit with this camera.

GREAT job Warro. You have done it AGAIN !!! I am thinking about purchasing a Interceptor 650 ('Mark Two colour'-chrome/red) and may/will install bar risers. YOU are a BIG HELP. THANK YOU sir. Very Much APPRECIATED. Regards.

[@ridewithwarro]

all good there. the interceptor is a great bike and i'd say mostlikely the smootheset bike to ride on the market. vibration is near non existant.

[@tpv59]

@@ridewithwarro Thanks Warro.

[@geraldtakala1721]

Very nice camera work nice demonstration of the bar risers too.

[@ridewithwarro]

thanks-happy to hear you enjoyed it!

[@chrispulham4779]

Hi Warro, they look good. I used cheap ones from the Philippines ($43) and work great. I also put FX RACING short adjustable levers on. Both of these are high quality and I'm really happy with them.. Chris (Qld)

[@ridewithwarro]

must admit they were a bit on the steep side price wise.

[@chrispulham4779]

Oh well,,,,, they sure improve the ride position and comfort.

[@ridewithwarro]

@@chrispulham4779 overall a great bike and very smooth to ride. in fact i think one of the very smoothest out there. enfield did a great job on the 650 twin

[@chrispulham4779]

Hi Warro, yes they sure did and i luv riding mine. If you search my name on here i put a short video here you can see the different risers i used.

[@chops7367]

Good morning Warro just started checking out your videos thanks for the effort Picking up a new Interceptor from Canberra Motorcycles today it’s a red one look for to studying what mods you have done Cheers

[@ridewithwarro]

good choice- good trouble free bike and enjoy the clips

[@stevepowell4946]

Very clear vast improvement.

[@ridewithwarro]

looking back it now appears like I will have to clean everything up before I film it...lol

[@13260daniel]

Cumming in clear ,almost perfect Warro great commentary,doing great mate 👍

[@ridewithwarro]

appears to be a very sharp camera and holds focus extremely well.

[@ruahinesrider]

Warro did your Motone up & overs have a gap 1-2mm top & bottom between them after tourqing them,in your video they look that way & I just put them on & was hoping I did it right.

[@ridewithwarro]

yep. must admit they do look nice. a bit pricey but nice

[@ruahinesrider]

@@ridewithwarro Did they have a slight gap like 1-1.5mm as they don't seem to do up flush like on the Triumph one's?or do I need to play round with them again.

[@ridewithwarro]

@@ruahinesrider no i think that's fine. in fact they are actually for the triumph's so probably fit them much more precise

[@ruahinesrider]

@@ridewithwarroCheers Warro went for 45km ride seemed ok just noticed they had a small gap after tourqing them up & Triumphs were flushed.I originally got Triumph one's sent to me by mistake so I told them & they sent me R.E one's.Triumph one's 25mm & R.E one's 22mm so now I got 2 sets for price of one..lol. so if I ever upgrade handle bars to 25mm I have some.

[@ruahinesrider]

@@ridewithwarro I don't understand why only 10% of KZbinrs don't thumbs up it's the same on every site Warro.I think they should give a tube of Voltaren when you join.You watch a site usually learn something the least you could do is a thumbs up it's a respect thing & I was taught you never ask where someone got their money it's out right rude & no one else's business & remember Internet trolls slag you off for a giggle are only giggling to themselves that's the real joke they're giggling to themselves.

[@robertpinder2307]

Warro, beautiful vid, thanks. The accent's a bit of a challenge for us Canadians (who don't have any accent) :-). But seriously, I received my motones and proceeded to install and the throttle cables didn't have enough slack to hoist the bars up into place. Any comments or ideas? Mine's a 2022. Thanks. I will subscribe.

[@ridewithwarro]

they were a bit of a tight fit i must admit i may have also rotated the bars slighly

[@jjolieira6531]

good morning with this Risers Re-Fit Bar! it seems to me that you did not change the brake and lighting cables it was very stretched it gave some difference in the movement of the handlebars and how many mm is the raser worth JJ Brasil

[@ridewithwarro]

25mm or one inch. no problem fitting and you may have to tease the cables a bit and that would depend upon handle bar position. overall its more a plug and play mod so no drama with the fitting

[@jjolieira6531]

@@ridewithwarro thank you master

[@ridewithwarro]

@@jjolieira6531 my only complaint if any is-i think thay are a bit expensive but they are well made. some have purchased risers half the price which work as good. so keep that in mind in case you want to save a $$. not sure where they got them but they are out there

This was super helpful. Do you feel now that you can sit straight up without reaching forward or is there still a reach. Thank you.

[@ridewithwarro]

i still think there is still a slight reach involved but not quite as much as before.plus i also feel they are a bit on the pricey side for what they are $$$ wise i'd probably look for cheaper options unless you really want to splash the cash

[@andrewgray8126]

@@ridewithwarro Thank you.

[@andrewgray8126]

@@ridewithwarro It would actually be really helpful to see a image of you on the bike, side on to see the reach if at all possible please. Thank you.

[@SuperBomber69]

Nice job Warro . Like to inform you'll that there's a guy here in India whose designed and is marketing bar risers that are specific for the interceptor 650 . Cost me inr 1900/- . Check out his videos on hdt customs . IMO they are so far the best and easily superior to the competition . Also far far cheaper .

[@ridewithwarro]

I saw those and they look good. sometimes its a bit hard for us to get the product out of india. at the moment im chasing a 47t rear sprocket for my ktm but the guy won't answer my emails

[@SuperBomber69]

I put a message on his comments platform ... requesting him to connect with you. From what I can gather you're now in touch with him. Good , now go ahead and work things out . Good luck to you guys .

[@AnandCd]

Hi Warro, How is the riding experience with the new raisers? I'm planning to fit it to my Interceptor. With love from India....

[@ridewithwarro]

nothing wrong with the risers itself apart from being a bit on the expensive side. they are well made. saying that though if you can source out a cheaper alternative I would go that way. if price is no concern they are fine

[@AnandCd]

@@ridewithwarro thanks a lot dude.

[@chriscoates2399]

Plain NICE

[@ridewithwarro]

glad you like it!

[@ernestosavoia2527]

hi warro, great very detailed video. Two questions: 1:The risers are by Motone? 2: Have you had problems with the length of the cables? I also have the same bike as you. thanks from Italy.

[@ridewithwarro]

yep purchased them from motone-not cheap but well made and no problem with the fittting cable was and a direct fit. might not be the caseif one was going higher but this unit-straight on!

[@roywane354]

Local RE dealer here in Canada told me today putting 1 inch risers on a RE Interceptor would cost me $400-500 CDN as the stock clutch and brake cables were too short and would need to be replaced and the brakes bled, etc. From watching your video it looks like the dealership is wrong. Did you have any issues with cable length once the new risers were on? Thanks for the video - very helpful.

[@ridewithwarro]

not really. i have pulled those risers on and off a couple of times now. they are pretty easy to fit and just go straight on and yes the fit is a bit of a squeeze but i can assure you i didn't touch any of the cables or replace any or i would not have done the mod as i thought the risers themselves were pretty pricey to buy and i would not have spent the extra money on cables and stress of fittings them correctly too. so to answer your question-all my cables are the factory originals. hope that helps

[@roywane354]

@@ridewithwarro Yes it does, thank you very much!

[@ridewithwarro]

@@roywane354 if you have not got them you might think about looking at my clip on the front fork spacers i bought for $50 posted from the uk- i found them pretty good and easy to fit

[@roywane354]

@@ridewithwarro I will do - thanks!!

[@danksy3160]

Hi ya, like your videos keep it up. What company did you buy those from, I would rather buy them directly from the UK, did you buy them directly from Montone and were they the ones for the Triumph Bonneville family that say they fit any 22mm bars?

[@ridewithwarro]

that's right-think I replied to you elsewhere

[@FullSpeedMoto]

just out of curiosity, with bar risers, do you still get a clear view of the dash or is it somehow slightly covered by the handlebar?

[@ridewithwarro]

no drama with seeing the instrumentation

[@sajeevpv8778]

Due to this raiser any problem for cables ?

[@ridewithwarro]

none at all. had them on for 6000 klm. just a straight foreward fit or it was on my bike. only a one inch ride though

[@ChrisKonings]

Hey Warro, just wondering if you have an update on the comfort of these risers? How are they feeling?

[@ridewithwarro]

I find them ok and they are well made but I still think they are a bit on the overpriced side of things for what they are
