A whole lot more room to get the valve cover off than the other Enfield 650s. The oil did its job, nice and black. Also a good choice of oil going in, I use Motul mineral oils when running-in a new engine or new top-end. Enjoy the "Indian Summer" weather, you will notice that the gearbox is silky smooth by about 500 miles now that the good stuff is providing lubrication.

Thanks. You are right about that gearbox. Enfield really hits it out of the park with this 6 speed. The more I ride it the better she works. Wahoo!

Weather has been fantastic. Looks great!

Heyup from Steve in UK. Great video short and to the point. I’m running the SM650 and got about 1800 miles on her now great bike rear suspension easing up now much better. Don’t forget the tyre pressures are opposite most bikes.

Great videos.. keep them coming. I have a celestial SM650 myself. Looking to fix mid mount footpegs but can't seem to figure out how and where to mount them. Could you do a separate video on this please Cheers

I think Hitchcock's sells midmont foot pegs for this bike. Should come with the directions on how to mount them. I'll look into it

I had loads of trouble with the rocker cover seal when re-asembling.. in the end i had to fir the seal into the cover itself and try and hold it in place while positioning. Why cant they make a place for it to sit in the cylinder head.. it would make life far easier..

It should be easier next time. Learning curve?

Adjusting the valves on my Triumph 1965 TR-6 are very easy to do. All of today's motorcycles should be hydraulic valve adjustment like my Sportster. All bikes should also have a rear belt drive.

I use Motul oil in my F650 BMW with 22,000miles on it, sure dont come out that color, after 5000 miles still looks golden. What adjustment was needed on the valves?. Still not convinced about quality of build to buy one yet.

@forgottenmotorcycles

All the valves were just a bit tight. Very consistent. I bought my first Enfield, a Himalayan, 2 years and 24.000 miles ago. I've rode it hard and dirty and she's worked very well, no problems. Currently Enfield has a 3 year unlimited mile warranty on new bikes. I intend to test this bike and that warranty by really putting the miles on this Super Meteor. We will see how she does. Wahoo!

I have ridden mine 3500 miles, through floods, storms, pothole dirt tracks. No issues at all. Its a very solid sturdy bike.

I hope you can do the maintenance video for the Royal Enfield 650 super meteor too. It probably will be very similar but it's the bike I have and I'm looking around for videos on that.

I am surprised that a modern motor needs valve adjustments. Should have hydraulic lifters that never need adjusted.

Baxter Cycle put the pannier racks and Givi bags on this bike before selling it to me. So far, I like them a lot. Bags are keyed to come off easy. I took them off to make working on the bike easier. Loving it!

I too am still not convinced of their build quality yet. I'm not a big fan of the looks of the engine. Reminds me of a squatted toad. The engine is anemic on power also. 47hp on major American highways to me is not enough. I'm thinking at least 75 - 80 hp? Thanks for sharing. That oil looks way too dark for 300 miles. I would have changed it as soon as I got home from the dealership.
