That new exhaust sounds just like a violin at the beginning- I’ll get me coat 😅😅😅

Your Royal Enfield sounds fantastic! *_"Nerds Corner"_* Crush washers are made of soft metal, usually copper, and are designed to deform and "seal" the imperfections in the mating surfaces. You can "renew" crush washers by annealing them if you need to (disregard most of the sh*te you see on the web re sandpaper etc.). It's very quick and easy to do, takes no more more than 30 seconds but does require a blow torch. So if you're cack-handed, *_don't_* Hold the washer on some sort of metal hook that can handle high temperatures; heat the washer with the blow torch until it is "cherry red"; immediately immerse the washer into cold water. If done correctly, the washer will squeak as it is immersed and then, after a few seconds, will pop or click. Once you hear the pop or click, it's ready to be reused. I haven't tried it on exhaust crush washers but it works a treat on drain bolt crush washers. Tyres and tyre pressures are a rabbit hole you don't want to go down. Those stated in the handbook are for _"the average"_ - rider weight, suspension setup, load (pillion, luggage etc.), riding style, route (city, town, touring etc.), ambient temperature, OEM tyres/other brands of tyres etc. ad infinitum. Always start at the book spec and experiment by changing the values about 1 psi (up and down) at a time and see what suits your particular "ride". Being a bit portly (OK, a fat bast*rd), I tend to run the pressures a little above spec!

Spot on, re. tyre pressures 👌. I'm a lightweight (in stature NOT stamina 😂) and find 2psi less front and rear improves riding comfort considerably without affecting handling in any way. Also, our ambient temperatures here in the UK are somewhat lower than elsewhere.

Had my super meteor 650 for 3 months now Dave and I love it .bloody solid bike and dose not break the bank 👍✅

Glorious sounding pipes.. 👍🏻 lovely soundtrack to those views!

I just got my package today! Thank you very much the items are marvellous! Also of note was the lovely letter you wrote, which is the first handwritten letter I have received in many years. Your new exhaust system sounds the mutts! I always approve of anything that enhances the motorcycle and increase enjoyment. I’m given to a bit of bike fettling myself, so you will always get my support for such endeavours.

Great vid fella. Luv the sound and ride through some beautiful countryside. Thank you and ride safe.

They sound well indeed! 🙌👍

I couldn’t agree more. TEC bike parts engineer some fantastic products. All their parts are a major upgrade from the stock parts. Engineered to last and look sweet.

Another great ride Dave. Pity about the heavy traffic, (4 cars). How I envy you from Hampshire. Great sound with the new exhaust system.

Like your channel some interesting items you talk about I like your rides out brilliant

Good Afternoon Dave , Can't say anything but it sound's awesome mate , take care , till the next time , ride safe

Great video as always bike looks and sounds very nice beautiful and the countryside although bit bleak at the moment love seeing those big very old farm stone buildings don’t get them where I’m from love Yorkshire ride safe

Morning Dave. Nick goes to the Citroen van, is in Scorton 😉Enfield twins do sound awesome when they are allowed to breathe 😊

Sounds pretty good to me, Dave! As long as the bike gives the rider the impression of increased response, that's sufficient. The decrease in weight of the new exhausts would certainly help to make the bike a bit more sprightly, too.

Love today’s video as usual ! I’ve recently moved to Guiseley and it would be great if you could explain where you are as you ride . I’d love to try the routes you take . Keep up the good work 👍

North Yorkshire roadworks map gives Kex Gill closed until March 22nd. Andy.

The new exhaust sounds quiet to me when the bike ,is just chugging along , & only sounds a bit roarty when it’s given fist full of throttle . This is good ,as when you’re rolling off the throttle & sauntering through villages ,or other such like situations ,it doesn’t upset the peace & tranquility. The aftermarket pipes I don’t like ,are the ones that bark at tick over & bimbling speeds ,they are the ones that tend to annoy neighbours & other road users, plus get even louder at speed ,causing headaches . My verdict is if you must fit aftermarket pipes ,the ones you fitted are the kiddies , well according to the sound on my I pad they are . 👍

Ahhh the brilliant Merlin Engine!!! Helped Britain win the war..

Nice sound Dave, unfortunately most bike these days have so many restrictions on sound and fuelling . My BMW 9 Nine T had a flapper valve to reduce the sound and a massive C.A.T. which I removed and installed race header pipes I retained the stock exhaust. The sound is much better and the bike is better for it.

Morning Dave, I enjoy your rides and ramblings around the Yorkshire dales but I’d really enjoy it if you were on your guzzi 😜 ( I do like a Guzzi as you know) “tickles my pickles” made me laugh at your age they’ll probably in a glass jar full of vinegar 😂😂carry on that man Caio for now

Sounds braw, totally agree that the way a bike feels is far more important than what numbers and statistics may try to lead you to believe.

Good morning Dave, sounds great and a very worthwhile addition to what is a lovely bike. I really need to try a Super Meteor to see if I can adjust to a feet forward riding position because I like the appearance of this bike compared to the Interceptor. ATB, Stephen.

We biker's buy a new bike because for us it's the bee's knees then we invariably set about trying to improve it, and I'm no different. My GoldStar i found a bit bouncy at the rear shocks, perhaps it was the state of our Lancashire roads or more likely my not inconsiderable weight so i got some uprated shocks from Tec. I've also got bar end mirrors and a set of those fabulous Red GoldStar stickers, as shown by Mr. Darcy, they really make the bike pop.

The bike sounds great and suits it perfectly. Really looks the part. Spannering is always a learning curve, the more knuckle skin you loose the more you learn..! 🤣👍

I've been following a KZreadr by the name of Teacher T Thailand, and he has met a retired engineer who has invented a belt drive unit for the Super Meteor, I have one on order I was so impressed with it. Anyway mate I thought it might be of interest? Cheers, Felix

Dave, with the info from CEAT I strongly suspect that they are referring to the Interceptor and the Continental GT and have not updated their specs for the very different set up the Super Meteor has. If in doubt I'd be going with REs recommendation.

Morning Dave, great video. Never get tired of that glorious countryside bike sounds really good. I've got an Interceptor and I'm toying with the idea of fitting different tyres after hearing a fair few people saying it transforms the ride, grip etc. Have you ever swapped the Ceats and if so did it improve things?

Hi Dave, another great video as ever. I’ve got a question about the screen on your Super Meteor. Does it make a lot of difference? I’m finding anything around 70mph I really start to get a buffering. I don’t like the touring screen so would like to hear your thoughts. Keep up the good work Cheers

Heyup Dave, I have to disagree 're bike performance being in your head , I cut off the exhaust at the header on my Honda graduate field bike ( a while back ) it sounded like Godzilla farting in a bath and I reckon if I had put it on a dyno it would show that it had lost 2 horsepower leaving me with half of a horsepower .TommyTickle

If you get one of those 32bit audio recorders you can capture the bike sound really well. I know thats what darcy and the old man use. How do you find the windscreen for buffetting? I am thinking of getting one.

Probably glasson, dock your thinking about.

Maybe you don't get any bixe from Royal Enfield is because you get your Royal Enfield bixe from Appleyards who are MOTO GB. That said I notice the Appleyards are selling the new Shotgun so presumably are an official dealer.

How do you find the ride quality? I tried a Meteor 350 and I loved the bike but the ride was so harsh, felt every bump! Wondering if the 650 has better shocks and perhaps the extra weight helps.

Nao gostei da sua moto, você deveria comprar a Interceptor. Tirou a bolha alta? colocou protetor de mão? Escapamento. Você não quer cruiser, você quer naked. Moto errada.
