Royal Enfield Interceptor 650: Domino XM2 Throttle and Switchgear modification

[@dandyandy7955]

The best channel for Interceptor mods👍

[@WildlifeMoto]

Thank you sir!

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Yup. Couldn’t agree more. I love all his videos. Only thing is, the parts @wildlifemoto uses are made in the UK, some ship worldwide, and some don’t 😫.

[@SuperBlizzard77]

@@SrinivasGanesh I wanted to do this mod to mine too, I found someone in India who does sell this... Only to find that just the throttle tube will cost 22500 INR. Which is more than 200 EUR. Forget about the switch and cables and all, just the throttle tube kit. 😔

[@SrinivasGanesh]

@@SuperBlizzard77 woah!! 😱😭

[@robertpinder2307]

You need a ferrule or cable housing cap where throttle cables housing goes into adjuster at bottom end. That will correct housing alignment and make for a smoother cable operation and less cable wear.

[@Ratty_Suzuki_GSX-R750]

Amazing video. Just seeing that 1 hour after order a custom switch. And from looking at this I don’t think I need to order cables with the throttle tube

[@davemarsh5478]

Enjoying what you are doing, thanks for the link to the French site, lots of inspiration for a winter project 😊

[@WildlifeMoto]

My pleasure!

[@adventuristnw2321]

What was the link?

[@groucho03]

I won't tell you enough but...I love you Wildlife !! This series was a GREAT idea and I'm sure it will inspire and create a lot of R.E Interceptors modded...(starting with my own) Huge Kiss from France !

[@WildlifeMoto]

Thank you sir. Glad the videos are providing some inspiration. Thank you for you kind words :)

[@tonymartin3780]

Fair play mate you think out of the box , don’t have think I have seen anyone doing this 👍👍 hats off to you , great modifications

[@WildlifeMoto]

Cheers Tony. Yes I couldn’t find any similar mods on YT.

[@blackskunk54]

You really got to grips with that, thanks

[@2WHEELSor2WINGS]

Not to my taste but a very clear, informative and interesting video. Good one, thank you. 😎

[@WildlifeMoto]

Thanks. Nothing a bit of power coating and some classic grips won’t solve. But the feeling of this throttle is wonderful. Thanks for watching :)

[@stepheneldridge6998]

Excellent video, really like what you have done to your Interceptor. Cheers, Steve

[@WildlifeMoto]

Thanks Steve!

[@colinwright1220]

Great channel and helped with my gt no end...I ordered the 70• threaded throttle ferrule listed as "Triumph" from venhill and they are perfect match for the original bends. Not been as successful as you with my cable ends lol..got the same solder set up as you for making them but only some practices worked ...not had the nerve to do the completed cables yet! Keep up the good work 👍

[@WildlifeMoto]

Those cables take a bit of practise - worth it though, good skill to own. Cheers for watching.

[@motorings735]

Thanks for the vid on this! Where did you get your hands on that white connector? Or did you remove that from the stock one? I'm needing to tidy up the controls on my bike, among other things.

[@motorings735]

I also forgot to ask if the throttle controls came with a mounting lug for pinning them onto the bars. (That safety bit that you need to drill into the handlebars for)

[@aswinmanu6037]

Love the handle bar setup!❤

[@ddmytrenko]

Thanks for the detailed video on this. I just wondering. It looks like the stock accelerator cables can be also used with this Domino XM2 throttle mechanism. Am I right? ;)

[@ThePhatmanace]

Would you have a link to the kit you bought? I've googled for the XM2 and looks like you have to buy the cables and cable runner pack seperatley... was interested in if you managed to get a complete kit as a single item?

[@shaun4164]

Ive just done the same on my cb500 and you explaining the wires on the switch really helped thanks 👍

[@WildlifeMoto]

Thanks Shaun, glad it helped out

[@maxsarat]

Hi Even I wanted to install the same on CBR 650F but after installing this my Brake light doesn't work , do you know how to make the brake light work

[@shaun4164]

I used a brake pressure switch on mine you can buy them on ebay it replaces your banjo bolt

[@maxsarat]

@@shaun4164 Can you share the link of the same if possible

[@maxsarat]

@@shaun4164 This is for rear brakes for front brake could you just tell me which wires you joined from Domino switch to the original brake light wire

[@vaibhavbindra4862]

Royal Enfield is pride of India🇮🇳

[@Shinysideup]

Really nice mod, especially the starter/ kill switch looks a quality item

[@WildlifeMoto]

Cheers Ian. They make a big difference to the feel of the bike.

[@AlistairLennox]

What mirrors are you running with? I'm sure I seen a video you made regarding them (perhaps not) but I can't find it.

[@Pauldanny55]

Hi , can i fix this XM2 quick action throttle the Interceptor 650 with its Original Switches ???? i dont want to change the switch ??

[@snakeykumpun5267]

Hi i have interceptor with 900mm bars so i already have long cables do you know if i get just the xm2 throttle will the cable lugs i.e the ones coming out of the throttle fit on the donimo one as i am trying to do the same as you get rid of the big plastic housing and put on nicer switchgear many thanks paul p.s your vids are great for us newbes

[@fabianoH5N1]

Looks like you will need some nice brembo 15 rcs brakes now to finish that italian look .

[@WildlifeMoto]

It’s like you read my mind!

[@fabianoH5N1]

@@WildlifeMoto maybe Domino sees this and makes a bike specific kit .

[@Fredd00007]

What sort of handlebar mod do you use? And how?

[@jeffkincaid1]

Did you have the Hitchcocks headers and Scorpion cans on the bike in this video? Sounds really good!

[@WildlifeMoto]

Just the scorpions in this video

[@jeffkincaid1]

@@WildlifeMoto Thanks for letting me know!

[@ReddyHHH210]

Hey man , shall I put grip glue on throttle grips or just use some spray that dries up like wd40 ?? BTW super helpful video... got the same for my 650 twin

[@WildlifeMoto]

Put the grips on, if you can move them they’ll need a little glue (don’t go mad though or they’ll be a pain to get off).

[@pushpa1figo]

HI, Great video lots of good information. how can i order these parts. any website or store information can help me get the good product. thanks in advance!

[@carlwager8248]

Another great episode - Thanks again for sharing. Just noticed your front turn signal mounts - curious to know what type of bracket you used to mount them; I don’t recall seeing them in a prior episode.

[@WildlifeMoto]

Thanks. These are the brackets. www.baakmotocyclettes.com/en/interceptor-continental-gt-650/2655-7208-front-turn-indicators-brackets-royal-enfield-650-interceptor-continental-gt#/1166-choix-pour_clignotants_universel_om8

[@davidmuir6849]

Fantastic clip Have you removed your bar end weights ? Regards Dave

[@WildlifeMoto]

Hi David, I changed the bars - I don't think you can (easily) remove the weights from the stock bars.

[@johnk7814]

Have Domino XM2 on order with new switch gears from Remmotocycle both sides doesn't look too bad of a job to do probably watch this video when it arrives. I agrees stock switch gears are to bulky and too much plastic for me.

[@WildlifeMoto]

Nice, get that white cam (the fast one) installed ASAP!

Another great video, thank you 🙏

[@WildlifeMoto]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@luishcoreia]

Nice job. Enjoying your videos. Just a shame those parts come with the brand name. What are the brake and clutch levers you are using? Thanks

[@WildlifeMoto]

Thank you. I guess you could always have it powder coated. I’m not going to keep the grips on the bike, although they are great quality (bit to modern looking). Levers are from Tec Bike Parts

[@SteveW67]

Nice video thanks, electrics terrify me 😱. Which bars and mirrors did you go with in the end please ?

[@WildlifeMoto]

Hi Steve. In the end I went with LSL Superbike bars and Oberon Streetfighter mirrors. I did an install video on the mirrors.

[@SteveW67]

@@WildlifeMoto ok thanks I'll look at that I did follow your series of mods, although I may not go that far I like the look as is with a few changes. Scorpion exhaust and air filter so far. Thanks for your time and effort 👍.

[@angamah]

Again, such a great channel when it comes to RE interceptor mods! Do you have something planned for the clutch side as well? Thanks!!

[@WildlifeMoto]

Thank you! Yes I do :)

[@angamah]

@@WildlifeMoto awesome!

[@hermannbutz6693]

Great Video. What did you choose finally re. throttle: the red, white of green item ?? Great Work, Congratulations and greetings from Germany

[@WildlifeMoto]

Hi Herman. I’m currently using the Red (which is in the middle). I may try the white one day, but happy with the red so far.

[@hermannbutz6693]

@@WildlifeMoto Hi, today I successfully installed the XM2 throttle (white ring) in the original switch gear/throttle-unit: it was a bit fiddly, had to work on the XM2 and on the original throttle so that both fitted together. It's work but it's possible. I wanted the fast action throttle but didn't want it to be recognizable as an item from a different manufacturer. I tested the white ring on a ride afterwards and it works perfectly. Very happy. THANK you VERY MUCH for the lead re. XM2. Best regards, Hermann

[@hermannbutz6693]

And I could stay with the original cables, No DOMINO throttle cables necessary !!

[@vkrishna0612]

When is the bates headlight coming?🔥🔥

[@WildlifeMoto]

Hi Vamsi. I’m not sure yet.

[@adityavenkatraman]

@Wildlife Moto - I would really appreciate if you could tell me the overall length of the complete throttle body assembly ? (right from the part where the grip starts till the domino branding on the throttle body which houses the control rings). Am working on a custom project and want to factor in the required clearances before I begin drilling holes to accommodate the rest (switches, brake masters etc.), the handlebar too is custom

[@WildlifeMoto]

I’ll measure it for you and post back later.

[@WildlifeMoto]

15cm

[@adityavenkatraman]

@@WildlifeMoto amazing, thank you so much ! Much appreciated ! Have ordered the venhill cable clutch to go with the RCS15 and TWM control module, am hoping it is slightly longer than the stock ... Maybe I will build a replica of your bike out here, same color might I add 😎

[@princeg88]

which wire length did you order? 590mm or 1.00mm? Cause they have 2 versions that look the same as yours.

[@davidmuir6849]

Hi Could you please tell me what connector kit you used ? Thanks Dave

[@Mark-el8sb]

Love your journey with the Int 650 and thanks for bringing us along... One question - according the Scorpion Red Power website, they do not offer exhausts for Royal Enfields. Where did you manage to obtain the pipes you put on, and were they originally designed for another bike? Cheers

[@WildlifeMoto]

Hi Mark, thanks for watching. I ordered them through my RE dealer, but they are also sold here accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/accessory-shop/Silencers-Only/42342

Im looking for adjustable brake and cultch lever for my interceptor 650 can you pls guide me to buy online ?

[@WildlifeMoto]

Check out TEC Bike Parts.

[@Warriorkikass]

Just one thing? The throttle doesn’t just slide off after undoing two screws! I know, I’m literally trying to do it now. Help!!

[@WildlifeMoto]

Nope, because you have a hole in those stock bars and a pin in the switchgear (I had previously removed that pin when I changed my bars). You'll need to fully unscrew it an open it up to release the pin.

[@Warriorkikass]

Wildlife Moto. / DOH, completely my bad! Realised 5 minutes after my message. Waited for your response before I profusely apologise! Sorry! Your the man! Went into panic mode before thinking! Really enjoying your interceptor series, keep going! Just finished the handlebars thanks for the inspiration!

[@WildlifeMoto]

Haha. No worries.

[@fasthracing]

Is the throttle quicker action, in that there is less twisting needed?

[@WildlifeMoto]

Yes. You can also use the different colour rings to change the action.

[@gaetanolampugnani8250]

The killing switch comes from Domino as well?

[@WildlifeMoto]

Yes. Start and kill in the same unit

[@anandl2003]

Hi, What levers are they? is it adjustable?

[@WildlifeMoto]

Tec Bike. Yes, they are span adjustable.

[@SuperBlizzard77]

Any idea how I can get this in India and how much it will cost?

[@WildlifeMoto]

Not sure. I ordered from Omina Racing in Italy. Maybe give them a shout.

[@SouravAcharya9444]

dude can u come to my home & do the same with my Interceptor

[@aneeshprasobhan]

he literally made a video so you could do it on your own.

[@samchisolm8713]

Do you have a cohesive plan for the way you want this bike to look, or are you just buying as many aftermarket parts as you can find for the bike, and seeing what looks good and what doesn't?

[@WildlifeMoto]

My only plan is to make it the bike I want it to be.

[@alancampbell1008]

Italian electrics...guess if they don't get wet they might buck the trend for reliability 😂

[@WildlifeMoto]

Haha, didn't think about that. Now i'm remembering trying to get my Ducati to start on a cold wet morning. Having said that, this switch incredibly well established, so fingers crossed.

[@nareshgurung7290]

How does it perform on the highway with the throttle wide open?

[@WildlifeMoto]

Great. She can keep up with traffic know problem. Quite a bit of wind blast, but to be expected on a bike like this.
