Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 - How to improve the bike without spending a fortune

[@1985GusT]

Here in the US S&S is already making proper mods for the 650. Exhaust, performance clutches, cams, high compression pistons etc. Really surprised me as they’re more of a Harley/Indian performance company. Very cool stuff and has me even more interested in one of these haha

[@jacob14163]

There aftermarket exhaust is definitely the best sounding for these bikes. I was also surprised to see them jump on the market for these bikes.

[@FrankBarco]

Probably because the Royal Enfield motors are on the flat track circuit and that brought attention to mods being produced for them.

[@psmith608]

Wow - I did not expect the bike to sound like that with new pipes! Sounds so mean - esp without the baffles! Thoes pipes and a few basic mods and you have got yourself a wicked retro bike. Excellent!

[@zrkn1]

That baby sounds mean. I like it! Personally , I would have left the front splash guard attached especially in the U.K.. The rear mods look fantastic. Really like that bike.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Me too!

[@jeremyrigden9200]

Same here !

[@tommes55]

You can do a black, shiny paintwork on the front splash guard... 😉 then it looks much better

[@Munter1]

If he plans to ride during the winter he’d be wise to refit the front mudguard, but leave it off for summer riding.

[@richardcarr6493]

AGREED

[@stewartellinson8846]

funnily enough, when they were first shown i thought "oh god, it's got stupid small mudguards" and was quite pleased when they put these extensions on. It only goes to show that cusomers vary.......

[@kaptein1247]

It looks nicer this way. But the bike will catch way more mud

[@skymningforelsket1302]

Interesting mods, all around! Especially liking the black tape trim around the fuel tank. One thing I like about this model, tho, is the proper front fender. Like Triumph in the days of yore gave you a proper front fender that came down low and covered the wheel from 9 o'clock to 1 o'clock of the wheel. Bikes without this full fender, might as well not have a front fender at all--- all that water and dirt sprays directly onto the frame and engine LOL!

[@Billbothebear14]

"Baffles out" sounds so much better.. nasty, dirty even. The TEC crew are EXCELLENT, well done them. Seasons greetings. BtB

The rear tail lamp acts as a red retro reflector - you need a separate one if your rear tail light is of the clear type.

Beautiful. The Interceptor sounds really nice but as you mentioned, a bash plate will be a must have addition especially now that you've shortened the front mudguard. I watched Stuart Fillinghams video where he fitted a bash plate. He mentions that the oil filter being at the very front is vulnerable to debris puncturing the filter.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I have another video already posted of my bash plate (I’ve posted these mod videos out of order - details in the description)...

Owned three XS 650 in the early 90s, I like these old parallel twins, the upright cylinders and those headers. In case the the exhaust is too loud without baffles you could experiment and drill holes into the baffles.

[@geoffhalsey2184]

Interesting that you are removing parts of the mudguards. Living in not so sunny Wales, I'd take the opposite approach and try to source ones similar to those fitted to the 500 cc Classic. The more winter road crap they keep off me and the bike the better. Noisy exhausts are great for short runs, but when touring they are a pain. I can't see why you removed the fork leg reflectors? Anything that helps visibility on these dark winter nights is worth having.

[@CheersWarren]

Geoff Halsey I guess that the difference between people who ride a bike for transportation and those who ride for pleasure. I was the same when I lived in Britain. My first and only ever new bike ( duke 900gts) 1980? I put 12k on in the first year I owned it . 700 in the first week ...it was my only transport! Cheers Warren

Noisy exhausts are for fking off your neighbours and being a council estate chav 😂

[@dave6467]

Nice job TMF. Found it amusing, though, that changing the exhaust cans was a far easier task than removing a bit of sticky tape. When I took the reflectors off my old KTM Duke, I used some dental floss behind them to 'slice' them off with much of the adhesive. Then a quick wipe with white spirit.

[@Jaffa1951]

Sounds great with the new cans - especially with the baffles removed.

[@derekinbritishcolumbia1449]

geoff newman May sound fine for a rider wearing a helmet, but quite irritating to the rest of the world.

[@jdr544]

With the exception of the removal of the fender extensions (where I would go the other way and install them, if they were not there), some of the mods can make you walk home at a Police control here in Germany! The back reflector misssing 40€. Front side reflector missing, they sometimes overlook, otherwise 40€ as well. The license plates are signed with the registration and technical inspection stamps (no chance to change), but they are smaller than yours. Changing to an exhaust system w/O official registration (ABE) will let your general operation license lapse which will be fined by I think 120€. If then at the end the exhaust is 10db/a louder than in your papers, transport alternatives for you and the bike are required!

Top sound with the new cans and baffles out. You're really pushing me towards getting one of these bikes. They're so incredibly cool.

[@G58]

Those side reflectors on the forks are actually a great idea. I’m restoring a USA built/spec Honda VF750F Interceptor (the quick V4 one) that still has its original reflectors. I’m leaving them. They improve visibility. Otherwise, nice noise. Now all you need is some performance upgrades to give it the Ooomph a 650 ought to have. I’d start with a pair of flat Kehins, increased compression pistons, gas flowed head, and hotter cam. That might give you 60HP.

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

Yeah ruin it's reliability right outta the chute

[@G58]

David Raye You’re missing the point. Firstly, if minor performance upgrades could “ruin its reliability”, then the thing is far too fragile. But everyone who’s reviewed this bike has recognised the obvious fact that RE released this bike as a basic bike which is perfect for upgrading. And if it’s only capable of being made more aesthetically and aesthetically useable, then a lot of serious bikers will not be playing. There’s a limit to the appeal of any bike that satisfies borderline geriatrics by evoking a bygone era, but without delivering even the power potential that it should - on paper, never mind what we all know is possible.

[@rickmancr]

Use blind grommets to plug the holes in the front mudguard.

[@daveyblakeney]

Don't forget the rear light has no reflector, and so when you remove the splash guard below the number plate you ought to use a rear light with a built in reflector lol, good man !

[@paulnunn1039]

I removed the rear plastic too and stuck a small round reflector on the number plate off ebay. Left the front one on as keeps the engine cleaner. TIP-- Use your spare black number plate bolts to fill in the holes on the rear guard, looks better than the metal screws. As for the small brackets left on the silencers, leave them alone and live with them, not heard good things about exhaust wrap..!

[@kevinjerome4925]

Just check the rear reflector is on the centre line of the bike. Don’t know how big the reflector has to be.

[@NoWay-xu1ie]

I've been riding since 1970 and averaged a new bike almost every year. Usually make very few modifications except for the seats. Hardly ever engine mods. I learned if you needed more HP , buy a bike that met that need. Over the years I spent more money on seats than my 22 RE INTERCEPTOR cost. I did just receive a Black Faux Touring seat from India. Outside of the crude looking seat pan that didn't fit worth a crap. I had to make some rubber cushions so it wasn't metal sitting on the frame. It was more comfortable than stock and the switching was very good. At 5'10 it put me just a little to close to the tank. If I keep the RE I will fix that seat. My biggest complaint with this bike is the suspension. To bad RE didn't spend a couple more $$ and install some decent components. If you are fortunate enough to have very smooth streets it no problem. But rough streets will torture your back. It does have a good little engine. With just enough power.

There is no minimum size requirement for a number plate in the UK. The size requirement is for the letters & the spacing between them. If you have a plate with a 1 in it like you do, you can usually go a size down & still be legal provided you keep the letters to the minimum size. There is a link on the Gov.uk website that tells you what's legal.

[@fmainieri]

Basic, simple but tremendously efficient! Great job, great bike!!!!! One mode subscribed! Thanks!

[@jonmulack4226]

I would: Shorten the turn signal stalks if possible to tuck them in. The mufflers look and sound much better but imo would look better if they didn't extend past the rear tire. Remove the passenger grab rail if passengers will not be riding with you. You could take a 1/4" more material all the way around your plate and get by with it and look a little sharper yet. Acetone or mineral spirits work well on adhesives. Try an inconspicuous spot first though. Nice looking bike to begin with and you made it look much better! These bikes will catch on once people start to ride them and understand the cost vs fun factor.

Here in Victoria Australia removing the reflectors on the front forks is one point for a cop to deem your bike unroadworthy, In many cases changing your exhaust if it's louder can also make your bike unroadworthy... if you go way to loud a copy can force you to leave your bike parked on the side of the road.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Oh dear!
