Like that color man. Mine is a Grey 2016 SR5 4WD access cab with 47k on the odo. 1 previous owner and dealer serviced. I feel I was fortunate finding it. Checked every box. I live in Iowa so I had to get the chassis sprayed/undercoated as the salt etc here during winter is gnarly
@@Nick_ADV 👊 🤙 can you recall if you mentioned whether or not you change your transmission fluid at a particular interval? Considering changing mine at 50k as well as the diffs and transfer case what are your thoughts on that?
@@AR47X420 yup i believe I did the differentials at 40k because I was going on a cross country trip the following week and wanted to make sure they were good. Transmission fluid I did at 50k. All pretty straightforward to do. I think i watched a RU-vid video on it first and its easy with the right tools.
I agree with the Polaris, its a snowmobile with tires. Same with these weird 3 wheel batmobile looking things. You might want to find a Yamaha FJR1300.
one of the lil electrical boxes behind the airfilter box near the battery that leads upto ecu from the battery is the problem, It's not the fuel injector. It's a well known problem and a 10$ fix.
@@Nick_ADV it's called the interceptor fuse box problem ! I forgot what it was called 🙊 I guess they used a cheap one 😅 It causes issues with starting.
@@Nick_ADV I want to defend them since I'm Indian as well but reality of the situation is that with Royal Enfield you have to learn 3-5 of these lil niggles out of the factory for every single bike. They make the least "quality" product out of our Indian big 4. For more contexts Bajaj builds KTMs and Triumph✨, TVS makes BMWs🤌🏾 and Hero will build all the sub 900cc Harleys going forward. Royal Enfield has the best marketing but least quality control out of all of them. I ride a Yamaha but I've been around Enfield problems all my life 😂 Yamaha best 😋
@@shadow_realm47oh wow I never knew that. I heard some stuff about certain KTM and BMW motors are starting to be built in China with CF Moto. But yeah I agree with you on Royal Enfield having the best marketing! Im also new to them and have heard that they have come a long way and quality has been much better now than with the older bikes.
Hey all. I just put on the TEC 2-1, and they strongly recommend that you keep the baffle in. I'm wondering if anyone here has ridden a while without the baffles and if you have had any issues. Thanks!
Yup they do say in the instructions that they advise you use the baffle. I chose to not run it and run the risk. I’ve done about 2000 miles with the pipe open and haven’t noticed any issues so far. It just sounds so good lol
I noticed along with the 2-1 exhaust you removed some parts from the bike. Specifically the cross bar on the handle bars caught my attention. How difficult was it to remove and any issues with vibration or handling with out it? I have a 2022 Interceptor and was thinking about removing mine.
The cross bar I actually removed after I noticed it vibrated loose and was crooked on the bars. It was fairly easy to get off. The two clamps i did have to pry open with a long flat head in order for them to clear the bar. I knew I wasn’t going to reuse it so I didn’t mind. As far as vibrations I haven’t noticed any change at all. I actually like the look of the bars much more without the cross bar.
My 97 has 341k. It i's currently in a 'trusted' Toyota shop for a new clutch to replace original clutch parts, a leaky steering rack and some front end parts that are definitely aged. Made a long AF cross country trip from Chicago to top of lower Michigan all the way to key west Florida and up the east coast to Quebec city, to fort Kent Maine all on the back highways. and then back to the western Midwest with a leaky rack
@@Nick_ADV it could probably go quite a bit further, since its not slipping at all yet, just the bearing chatter has become louder and more constant! its mostly a highway truck so the clutch pedal is not used much for long periods
Well the reason for them not giving Pirellis as stock has to do with the heavy import tax our Government (Indian) started imposing on Foreign made tyres. Also, our government made it mandatory for foreign tyres to pass some certification to sell in India, which are quite cumbersome. RE probably thought it'd be more convenient to switch to an Indian made tyre.
Thanks for the real talk here, you watch people reviewing as a job on yt and its too much of literally every single bike is amazing and the best thing they've ever sat on.
Thanks man. Yeah I was definitely going on a lot of what those other reviews said when I got this bike. Still a great bike just not as good as some made it out to be.
Thanks! I believe so. Its marketed on the site for Royal Enfield 650 twins. And yes it says the exhaust with the high flow air filter adds like 2-3hp. It definitely feels a bit more responsive.
Im not fully sure on that. Although I didn’t use any kind of tuning device after installing the pipe and air filter. From what I’ve read the Enfields ECU automatically adjusts to the changes after letting the bike idle for 10 minutes after the install.
For a suspension upgrade, i went middle of the road with Hagon 2820 shocks and Norman Hyde progressive fork springs, both from Bella Corse. These have given a nice compliant rife and much more confident high speed handling. The shocks took about 600 miles to break in. Really good results for the money, IMO.
It's crazy how much cheaper these are in the US vs here in Canada even after the conversion. Although, i bought a z900rs with 5000 miles for less than you paid for the new 650 so there's that
How much are they going for up there? Maybe less dealers so they hike the prices up. And ah thats a hell of a deal if you found a z900 for less than 6k. Its still hard to find them used around where I am and the ones that are are usually selling for close to new prices.
@Nick_ADV Its def better I havent been reaching for that 7th gear as much. I got it at Hitchcock motorcycle accessories. They're in the UK so it took like 2 or 3 weeks to get to the U.S.
My 17 has 201000 ,besides brakes, headlight bulbs, my routine maintenance. Zero issues. Still getting 25 mpg average . Tons of miles off-road , in the woods. Running trapline, hauling firewood. Love the truck.
Man you got the exact Tacoma I want, quicksand with the access cab. I want a 4 wheel drive one and put 33s on it and a slight lift. Worried about only getting 15mpg though. Might just get a GR86 or a Corolla. Gas isn’t going back down.
Yeah man its an amazing truck but you are right about the gas. In the colder months i get around 15mpg. Now in the summer I get about 18mpg. And thats on 265/75/16 tires.
Yeah I have a 2021 sr5 4x4 in the dark grey crew cab I’m at 25k miles it does drink gas a lil bit but in my opinion it is because you sort of end up lead footing in city driving because of the transmission everyone knows this thing searches gears and if you go long distances you will get better gas mileage because you are going a constant speed I plan on tuning mine with the overland tune eventually but I love mine man it is worth it to me go test drive one and see if it is for you reason I got mine is because I wanted to get one before they swap over and lose the reliability the new one looks good but the engine change will take years to iron out and the new tundra is ugly to me
