  Hello there approaching 40km very very good, I've recently had a leaking head gasket that was an easy fix and wheel bearings but overall still running very very well

  Looked like great fun splashy splashy 😅 Question: were you running an open intake plate or the original ‘snorkel’ one? Drain hose looks worthwhile mod 🤔👍

• 
  @Leafster19733 ай бұрын

  Open intake plate, with a hiflo oiled foam filter. I didn't I have the usual plastic sheet wedged down the front side of the airbox. So I think water has gushed down the side and into the air intake. I've since done another wet ride with the plastic sheet and no water ingress. The foam filter worked very well.

  Welding an extra piece on to the Lextek baffle is a great idea, I might do the same to mine. Interested to know how the sound changed. From your comments, it seems it's certainly worthwhile doing. I would also prefer mineto be quieter, but still have that nice deeper sound. plus, as you say, the massive weight saving. Cheers for the video...Jon👍

• 
  @Leafster19736 ай бұрын

  Cheers Jon, the extension removes the loud barrrp! Still sounds nice but a little deeper rumble . Make sure the inner end of the baffle is closed or blanked off, so it's not an open pipe.

  I turned up at my local Royal Enfield dealer the day before yesterday and he said "you're brave" cos it was a bit damp and quite cold (for round here) and the place was deserted. It's nice to see other people out and about on two wheels out of season 👍. I was thinking of changing out my two for a couple of TKCs but, after watching this, now I'm not so sure 🤣😂😆...

  Were you not supposed to use stiffer springs too? Once you drill the extra holes the stock springs are likely to become too soft.

• 
  @Roadrocket19738 ай бұрын

  No, as the valves control the compression damping not the preload. I have fitted stiffer springs because I'm on the heavy side. But if anything the valves increase the stiffness and reduce the softness of the damping especially on rough roads.

  I actually forgot to mention about the wheel! Good observation. So a spoke snapped on the 18 each wheel and with it being a custom wheel a replacement spoke wasn't cheap! So I decided to fit the new tyre on the 17. I've still got the 18 , just needs repairing

I swore I was not going to get a new 450,,bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbut now I,v seen it ,,I quite like the look,,,but will be keeping my old girl until about 40thou regards

  Mine used to misfire in the wet especially after jet washing. Turns out it was a loose HT lead in the spark plug cap..I've since sleeved the entire HT lead and plug cap in a rubber tube, and it's never misfired since. Even in torrential rain and being almost submerged off road. Loose connector's are easy to fix. Waterproof all the connectors helps too. Lead Acid batteries only for me.. can't jump start lithium. The new 452 looks cool too, hoping to see it at Motorcycle Live

  Very down to earth..pun intended. Better contact with the early 😊. I have a sprint 955 and wanting to do the same. Thanks I learnt something watching this.. the Rod holder m8 shaft. Not sure what to use for the 5mm ends but I'll find something. Good info about the 8mm holes. I agree about making the emulators adjustable but you'd have to perhaps cut a lug and groove into the spacer and emulator 😮 to stop it turning as the detents would cause bit to rotate instead of adjust. Given these bikes take pillion and or luggage, the load on the suspension can change markedly and I'm not sure preload is the only adjustment you'd then need to make.. Anyway I learned a few good tricks. Thanks. Subscribed
