[@jamesfairmind2247]

The most important thing to realise about the 650 is that is the DOWNPIPES that cause most restriction, they are lined with silencing material. There is little point in putting on slip ons when for the same money you can buy a really cool full system from BS in Italy that are half the weight and look a million times better than the stock pipes whilst genuinely releasing power and a great sound.

[@kurroth]

I knew it!!! Suggestion: Please make a video on the different build types based on cost and simplicity- Cheapest ones can be on basic weight shedding by simple exhaust swap and the most expensive ones can be on plonking a bigger engine, engine mods, race spec suspension, etc.....

[@toy014]

If you want it to go any more faster then there are a few more basic stuff that you need to do: 1. Change the Air Filter to DNA or SnS or anything that’s available in your country. 2. Change the spark plugs to and Iridium one. 3. Change the ECU (We have Powertronic here in India 🇮🇳). The mapping is important as well. 4. Get a lighter Header Pipe as it’s also very heavy as well. 5. The rear grab rail and the centre stand mounting handle which is at the rear end of the bike just below the seat and is screwed along with the rear grab rail can also come off too. If you do these I bet you can improve the performance a lot more. Hope you read my comment.

A guy at our club bought an Enfield GT Continental as a project which has the identical engine to the Interceptor, he changed the complete exhaust system including the catalytic converter and replaced it with a stinger 2 into 1 system, installed an S & S high performance camshaft kit, changed the rear shocks for Hagons, installed a high performance air filter and fuel booster plug, a Dynojet high performance ECU, removed the centre stand and changed the wheels to lightweight alloys, he told me he's got the weight down to 428lbs (with a full tank) and dynoed the bike at 67 bhp, his next move is the 865cc big bore kit which he's hoping will take it up to 85 to 90 bhp, I don't know if that's optimistic or not.

[@shervindavid1452]

The bike does make 80+whp once the big bore kit is installed. Though a lot more tinkering is required. The guy who built his bike seems to know what to do with royal enfields, since that's the best way to increase power on the stock engine size. Have got an interceptor in the family and just a pipe and high flow aor filter changes things, looking into headers as we speak.

Eh, not really. I really like the Interceptor, but it's not built for racing. I think some ways the RE would block you from developing some techniques. Probably starting on a, say 250 or 300, would encourage skills immediately applicable to bigger bikes, not so much with the Enfield.

[@ark1289]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Go all in, better suspension, rear set foot pegs, 865 big bore, free flow exhaust, chop chop!!!

[@cainenewman7944]

Lightweight wheels would be a good upgrade. Less unsprung weight and rotating mass means much faster turn in, as well as less inertia and better control which will compound with any suspension upgrades. Also, the stock wheels probably weigh a fair bit, so it could be a good way to shave quite a few lbs meaning better power:weight. Also gives the option to use different wheel/tire sizes, which could be beneficial. Could be a bit pricey but it would make quite a difference to both acceleration and cornering speed. That directly translates to smashing an SV on the track.

[@willernst2721]

If you want to short cut the big bore kit there is a shop in the UK that sells the whole upper with the pistons. They also sell a cam and intake. The intake and cam alone is said to get you ten more ponies, or something like that.

[@colinsaunders8723]

The twin wall headers are very restrictive and heavy, changing those for some free flowing ones will make a big difference in performance and weight. EBC sintered brake pads transform the braking.

[@mesneeze]

Defo recommend the ebc brake pads.

[@cyclonebuzz8172]

The factory headers have catalytic converters and you can gain even more power with some free flowing headers. There's a few different companies that make headers like Hitchcock that will work with any slip on.

Another for Tec Bike Parts. I got some suspension parts for my wife's 20' Triumph Speed Twin and was able to set some sag numbers and rebound balance. It was just simple preload caps for the forks and rear shocks with preload rings and adjustable rebound. Simple upgrade that works.

[@sluicefriggins7757]

You simply must upgrade the suspension. The OEM springs are absolute A##. YSS fork kit will transform the bike with better handling and especially acceleration, so definitely "spring" for that upgrade. Yep, I did it again. Also, an easy cheap install is a K&N or DNA performance air filter to pair with the pipes. Let it breathe, ffs. Loving it, please keep modding the Enfield!!!

[@GapBahnDirk]

Now you should try YSS rear shocks and front fork kit for better handling and more weight saving. YSS suspension is firmer and it absorbs the bumps better. Also, if you don't want to go for the expensive big bore kit upgrade, a hotter camshaft will add about 10bhp. Wonderful stuff!

If you do the air filter mod where you replace the box cover with little brackets that hold in the air filter, the sound gets way deeper. I don't know why, but it is as big a sound improvement as the slip ons.

Once you are happy with it, then go on with upping the capacity, high roller cams head studs etc. With all the mods done the bike should make about 80whp which is respectable.
