In order to increase the speed of the motorcycle , in Russia they simply change the leading or driven star . I have ,,a Yamaha Serow XT250,, . The standard drive sprocket has 15 teeth. I put an asterisk on 16 teeth and the speed of my motorcycle increased by 8 km/h. It 's probably easier , cheaper and good for the engine ... 😁
Hello again! I am a normal person and a professional driver with 39 years of experience and I know how to correct my mistakes. In the previous comment I wrote something stupid. Since the motorcycle has ABS, it transmits a signal to the ECU and clamps the motor from the read signal. And therefore, replacing the sprockets will not help increase the speed. Once again, I apologize to the author of the video for the mistake made. ☹
Is it really worth all the hassle and money just to get 7mph more, I'm happy with the bike as it is. If you want more speed you should have bought a different bike.
@@bvgb921 the fact you watched the video means you were thinking about it too! Honestly though was it worth it, yes I can now commute on motorways without constantly banging off the limiter which did my head in. I have other much faster bikes too, but like the easy going nature of the meteor which is now repeated at top speed which now settles at just over 80.
🎉Hi, great video can you please tell me if RLT00187 throttle body/ ECU also has the rev limiter deleted or does it hit a wall @ 6250 rpm? many thanks 👍
Hi, thanks for the informative video, can you please tell me if the rev limiter is also deleted from the RLT00187 throttle body? I have a Hunter 350 with the earlier throttle body ECU it hits a wall around 6250 rpm when going through the gears ,i understand this is not normal riding , but since i fitted the DNA filter kit, decat and fuel x pro plus it revs much more freely, the next obvious progression is to fit the stage 2 cam however with the rev limiter it wouldn't really be able to capitalise as the revs are capped so low, and yes i know its a long stroke motor , many thanks.
What lead you to the Oxford heated grips? Have you tried other brands on other motorcycles? The weather is starting to turn here, and I'm thinking about heated grips, but want to buy good ones, obviously. Thank you for the video! FG Rides in Pennsylvania, USA
@@FGRides hi I’ve had Oxford on all my bikes and like the feeling of the grip. It’s not just the heated part, it’s the overall grip that I prefer, the comfort and thickness make them good. They are the advanced so have more temp control and switch off automatically. I haven’t tried other brands but they look and feel cheaper.
3-5 minutes to open the X1 doesn't sound like much compared to the 20 of the D1000, but I really think that is not particularly relevant. No thief is going to use multiple grinder discs on your lock if other less secure bikes are around.
I live in the EU and was fortunate to buy a used SV650 with original exhaust, original fender, rear luggage rack with top box, Puig Trend wind screen and TomTom Rider GPS with mount. I would not have given the same price with a non original exhaust and without fender. A motorcycle without luggage rack? What do you use it for?
The street is a weird bike... they wanted a jap bike, but didnt do the homework. Love my street but its a love/hate relationship. The lack of support is what kills the XG. Im thinking about sellin mine because of it.
@@kfkwAL7 with the way we designed our lives to be dependent to China for a long time, I know it’s hard. Most probably it says made in UK but in reality components wise it’s likely 75% made in China. But at least I can try to convince myself that the 25% is not coming from slave like labour and indirectly supporting the continuous bullying of the tyrant CCP. Honestly with how CCP is behaving, I always try to avoid any product that says made in china as much as possible even if I have to pay more for the alternative ones.
I wish RE would allow Classic and Bullet owners to be able to bypass the limiter in the ECU if they wish. Afterall, it's the owners bike once he/she has purchased it. We don't all live in India, where speeds of 70mph/120kph is plenty. In Australia, to get to many of the back roads where these awesome little bikes thrive, you must use the motorway to get to them, and I feel a few extra kph would make all the difference to people like myself.
Even in india these are considered as slow machines 😂 but most long stroke motors make that much power only, harley davidson 440x is the only bike with same type of engine that goes to about 135 easily, other than that all those sports bikes of 160 to 400cc short strock engines goes easily above 120 , these days 400cc bikes are so fast in india that 120 is like nothing for them. We have relatively new companies so we were bound to make makes with less investment so we have developed the best single cylinder motors except for royal enfield where they had developed a new parallel twin. A speculation is that they are working on a 750cc parallel twin as well. Because of there image, the old school torque machines , RE can't make bikes with race sport engines, so all those classic names of royal enfield stable will always have a long stroke torque engine, Himalayan 450 and guirilla are whole new bikes so they got that new sherpa , I hope now you understand and correct your facts
@@telecasterluva666 in india if you are cought going above 130 there is no fine. You have to surrender your vehicle and license at the police station under whose jurisdiction the camera lies. Then you can appear in court and do as you are told. There simply is no lawful need to go beyond those speeds. If enfield has to go faster they will have to provide better brakes. And they make all the torque at low rpm. It is for going relatively slow, watch the scenery, sing a song and forget about time and troubles, at least that is what I do.
@@macumuzahn check the throttle body part number. There’s 2 different ones that I can see have been on the hunter, although you are the first person I have heard that has said this.
New ones are, you've to get the base variant hunter ecu for it to be going past 120kmph. It stutters and I have to leave the throttle and then wrap it again right after 120.The bike doesn't like it much though...
My hunter is restricted to 120ish... I have a year old Hunter dapper grey ( that's pretty much the oldest and most base model out there outside India, where you can get some even lower specd ones) That being said I live in a fairly hilly area of central Europe and I'm lucky to keep steady 95 KPH on many inclines... so even if I could unrestrict it, I'm not sure it's worth the effort... certainly not the money.
Never mind all that throttle body stuff, where did you get that rear rack? Ps. Mines a 22 an done DNA filter, open pipe, stage two cam, 16 tooth front, shed a shit load a weight does 60 mph in 3rd. a still won’t get her arse past 74 😢 still love it. I call her the Bar Fly 💪😎
Now he misses the point all of his upgrades have little to no effect on increasing and maintaining a higher top speed without the throttle body/ ECU upgrade !
My 2022 411 Himalayan will do 80mph stock. I don't see the need for all the performance modifications. I change the oil every 3000 miles, and other than Viterra, all weather front bags, this Enfield runs like a champion. Today's ride, the odometer, will turn to 10,000 miles. The bike is too light to be traveling faster than 80 mph. I ride Red Rock in Vegas, and I am fortunate. No problems whatsoever with the Enfield.
The new Meteor 350 Aurora comes without the restrictor from the factory. Mine has shown 83mph on the speedo and the restrictor still hadn't kicked in. I know of another Aurora owner whose bike is the same.
@@exeterrider Yep, it's fine. I know when the engine was put into production with the restrictor fitted the engine was only reaching around 80% of its maximum safe power. The Royal Enfield promotional material described it as a cruising motorcycle with a 4 speed gearbox plus an overdrive (5th gear to you and I). They said the way to get the best out of the bike was to take it to 70mph in 4th gear and then put it into overdrive and cruise all day at that speed. You don't put that stuff into sales blurb if its likely to go bang on you. I understand through the Grapevine although unofficial that all new Meteors since the release of the Aurora have now had the restrictor removed. There are also the same whispers about other models in the J Series range that have had the engine restrictor removed.🤔👍
@@daveparry6990 no it doesn’t. Will cause the eml light to come on and other issues as it’s looking for a different speedometer setup which the hunter and meteor share/ but the classic does not (gear indicator etc)
Let’s be clear here, it’s not the change in the throttle body per se but that the throttle body also includes the ECU. What else does changing the ECU mean? Playing in the dark.
@@jimporter Yeah it’s the ecu in the throttle body that governs the speed limiter. The throttle body mechanics are the same in all the 350s. Some say mapping is different, I don’t see it but it is also adaptive from the sensors. Bike rides the same and diagnostic read outs unaffected
