Suggestion for putting the bike on the center stand from a 5'8", 170# 70-year-old. Of course, proper footwear is important. This method utilizes the superior strength of your legs over your arms. #1, With bike on side stand, left hand on left grip, right hand on lifting handle with knuckles facing towards seat, right foot on center stand leg, foot facing forward and body facing forward. #2, While applying force with your right foot, stand bike vertical until both center stand feet are touching the pavement. #3, Exert pressure on the center stand with your right foot, while at the same time shifting your body weight rearward. Your right hand is not so much lifting the bike as it's providing an anchor point for your leg to push against.

Nice. Try putting a 5 to 100mm mat under your rear tyre also. Raises the bike enough to make the whole operation so much easier if you are on original length shocks.

Teacher T, i do like the belt drive system, and, plan to put that on the SM650 of mine! Will replace the rear ahocks without hesitation-I'm 5'10" tall with 30" inseam. Biggest reason is-I weigh 280lbs. Thank-you for the update on these 2 upgrades! Doug🏍️🎉👍🤓🇺🇸🦅

You are welcome Doug. I’m only 5’8’’ with an inside leg of 28’’. So I doubt you need the lowering version of the shock. But you certainly need preload set to 2 you big boy you 😂🙏

Ordered these after your last video, very pleased the install video didn't take too long to come out. Well done Teacher! I saw a similar solution to the centre stand on another channel, very keen to see the belt drive video and your feedback on that mod. Gotta say that, while I would love to do that mod it's a little out of my budget.

Hello! Thank you for this video! I also bought new rear shocks and I will install them soon. One question: Do you know the recommended torque?

@Teacher-T-Thailand

2 ай бұрын

13ft lbs and a bit of loctite will sort it ;-)

Hi there, the process is quite straight forward, thanks for showing us. However, I just have a query, the torque setting quoted, ie 13ft/lb seems very low. Is this a Royal Enfield spec? Cheers

@Teacher-T-Thailand

No, not direct from RE.But from another source. It does sound low, but I think it’s right. I will try and do more research on it 🙏

I was under the impression that you were on a belt drive ? How did you go back to chains and sprockets ? Please do share. Thanks.

The production run was not hard anodised. The process happened when I was in UK for 1 month. I have had my bike stripped 4 times, and on and off 2 times. This is the final time. 🙏

Hey Mr. T. Have you seen a comparison of the Hagon shocks with the YSS units?. Either way living in Oz requires an overseas purchase.

If lowering, the Chian may need slackening rather than tightening. I got away with it. My chain was a bit lose, and was perfect afterwards. Needs checking though. 🙏.

@Teacher-T-Thailand

I would say no. It's too heavy and too powerful for a first motorcycle. But the Meteor 350 however is a perfect choice. I had one for 2.5 years before upgrading to the 650 and to be honest I still miss it. I made a video about it kzread.info/dash/bejne/no2qqsh-eKeTYps.htmlsi=dGChOR0gpgLEs5kQ
