Suspension Upgrades from YSS! For Royal Enfield Interceptor & Continental GT 650

[@shobinp5789]

How much did they cost ?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

About 60K INR. Yeah these are not as expensive as Ohlins, but in no way are they cheap. Pinning this comment if anyone wants to know this information. Thank you for watching the video!

[@meetmovie]

@@SrinivasGanesh can I use it for cb350rs?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

@@meetmovie I don’t think so, as the bolt sizes might be different.

[@surajsunkara7581]

@@SrinivasGanesh correct me if im wrong but i think the ohlins are around 80k and do you think its worth spending the extra 20k for the ohlins or do you think the yss ones get the job done

[@SrinivasGanesh]

@Srinivas Ganesh, I would like to know the location of the trail you are going through at 1:20

[@SrinivasGanesh]

That is Urgham Valley sir. Pretty serene place

[@DhirendraAhire]

Wonderful video. Could you please upload your feedback about front suspension upgrades? This will help me a lot. I am a two stroke only fellow but wish to have one bike which I can really use.

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Hi, I know this is a really late reply. But I just uploaded a video of the review on suspension upgrades. Thank you for your patience and for your support and for watching my videos.

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Do check it out.

No worries. It’s absolutely perfect information. Thanks for taking pain to let people understand in depths. Much appreciated. Thank you very much.

[@sanidhyasharda4797]

That's a 150 section rear tyre right? What brand/model is it?

[@finesser650]

It's a Timsun tire

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Yep it is 150 indeed! :) Thank you for watching!

[@sanidhyasharda4797]

@@SrinivasGanesh did you notice any difference in dynamics moving from 130 to 150?

[@RAHUL-dt5xm]

what would you suggest ? way2speed progressive coil over + rear suspension riser or the yss? How much did it cost for the yss? and I think mk design brat seat xl or kspeed diablo seat will look good on the 650.

[@SrinivasGanesh]

YSS costed me 60K. Way 2 Speed is a much cheaper alternative which works wonders too. The thing with K-speed items is, when it comes to your doorstep, you will be asked to pay a customs duty. And I am done with that. :P So Premium touring seat it is for me :P

[@RAHUL-dt5xm]

@@SrinivasGanesh Yeah but I think mk design brat seat xl looks same as of kspeed diablo seat and also from India, so no custom duty(may be I am wrong not sure)

[@rover100bunson]

i have the same, be interested in your settings and rider weight, thanks

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Will make a separate video on that :) thank you for watching this one though!

[@Misya_Official11]

Wow good bro. 👍

[@SrinivasGanesh]

thank you for watching the video!

[@Anjuraj]

Any plans to install USD forks?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

None. :) that would mean changing the yoke. Which opens room for a lot of customisation but limited only to your bike. Meaning in an unfortunate event, you’d have to re-make the prototype. Which can be tough.

[@deepaknagraj9827]

Hi, which brand mirrors are those ? How do they compare to the ones that come with the bike default ? Thanks mate

[@SrinivasGanesh]

These are kemimoto bar end mirrors. Got them from Amazon USA about 3 years back. They are very nicely built. CNC alloy, and anti glare. Interceptor does not have the option of bar end mirror in factory settings. So I have changed my handlebar as well to accommodate the bar ends. Thank you for watching!

[@AndroidHutOfficial]

what about front one?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Thanks brother!

[@KitarPratiK]

Great video Sri! Couldnt find you on Instagram, wanted to know if the timsums are worth it?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Hi! I’m off instagram for the time being. Taking a long break from that app. 😅 You can always email me. But yes, I have shot the content for the tyres, will start editing soon. Long story short, to me, the timsuns are worth it. :) thank you for watching the video!

[@SrinivasGanesh]

I’m back now. Got a lot of comments about coming back on insta. So here I am. :)

[@vkrishna0612]

would the one without the gas cannister also have the same performance?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Don't know about the performance as I have not tested the ones without the gas canister. Also, one without the gas canister has 1. Rebound preload, 2. Threaded spring preload and 3. Length adjustable. The one I have has one extra feature that is Compression Adjustable. Hope that helps.

[@paulmessenger1006]

You would not be disappointed.

[@ganesanparthiban3911]

Do you have steel braided brake lines? Can you pl make a video on them?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Those come standard on the stock motorcycle. But sure. I can do that.

[@venkatrajneesh5526]

what is mind boggling to me is how clean your tools kit is ....😅

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Hahahah I clean everything periodically.🤪

[@venkatrajneesh5526]

@@SrinivasGanesh yeah your bike looks just out of the showroom something i need to learn from you my baker express is looking less bakery 😂😂😂

[@finesser650]

Idk I never felt the need to upgrade my suspension setup on the 650 but it's maybe because of the riding position advantage of the continental gt... But seriously... How do you corner with that timsun tire... It becomes so hard to get the bike sideways after that upgrade... Looks better but doesn't feel better than 130 sections

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Well, we all have our opinions :) wider tyre means better contact patch to stay on the road. :) Plus chunky look looks better on the bike :)

[@allenjason2289]

True, the stock size does feel better in corners

[@akupegu1622]

How much lighter are these compared to the OEM suspension?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Little lighter. Not feather light though.

[@igorleahu7617]

What sag have you set for rear shocks? How much mm ?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

I dont remember in mm, but for sure I counted 16 rings. If that helps. :)

[@chetansurve]

How are front VSS with cost around 25k? I have seen Abhinav installed dominor's 400 USD to his interceptor.

[@SrinivasGanesh]

I didn't understand your question. Are you asking me why are they priced at around 25K INR?

[@chetansurve]

@@SrinivasGanesh I meant which of these are better for front suspension, VSS or dominors USD(the one which Abhinav has installed)

[@SrinivasGanesh]

@@chetansurve I didn't wanted to deviate from the factory set up on suspensions. That is more expensive and not many people would be able to repair it should there ever be a need. Plus to install that, you have to source a lot of items, starting with USD forks, triple t, and what not. However, there are pros and cons to both set ups. USD are more stable but are prone to damage and oil leaks. And if there is a slight leak, it has to be taken to the work shop straight away. Telescopic forks are cheaper to mass produce and because oil sits at the female section, there are far less chances for an oil leak and even if there is an oil leak, it can be handled with ease. So there is no, which is better as it all comes down to personal preference.

[@chetansurve]

@@SrinivasGanesh Thank you for this detail explanation 😅.

[@SrinivasGanesh]

@@chetansurve Thank you for watching the video!

[@saiprashanth008]

What is the travel you get with these suspensions , does it compare to comfort offered by long travel suspension over sharp bumps

[@SrinivasGanesh]

The front is the same as the OEM just the internals are changed. The rear can be adjustable +- 5 mm over the OEM length.

[@SrinivasGanesh]

The front is adjustable so you can make it softer accordingly, and rear has, compression damping, rebound along with pre load, once you adjust it accordingly, it becomes very comfortable. Post that it is all a matter of hit n trial according to your preference. 🤙🏽

Hi Srinivas - I see you are using Timsun tyres - theeee must be tubeless I suppose - then did you use Way2speed conversion. And are you happy with it? I have an interceptor too in Bangalore. Your inputs on the tyre specs and tubeless conversion will help. Thanks!

Yes these are tubeless. I have the outex kit installed and it's going to be a year since I installed them and they have been excellent so far.
