NEW RE 650 Booster Plugs - Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650, & Himalayan 

I agree. The red and black paint is really great looking. I fear I am getting to the end of my riding career these days don't don't think I'll be getting one, but would consider for sure.

Booster plugs are usually model specific

Hi. How was it?

@@TALIAMO65 it turned into a motoguzzi v85tt instead.....but fitted the booster plug DNA filter and decat pipe👌

get a test ride on the RE you will like it, if you find it a tad tall we have adjustable length shocks to cure that

@@georgemilburn6213 thanks for the tip George

Royal enfield via S&S exhaust already markets a cam, pistons, cylinder upgrade, plus more.

@@DEeMONsworld yes i know. But where are the dyno sheets or reviews. Only 1 company so far i know of has all s&s parts on their drag gt

Hi Ready very soon-we have the lamps/fixings now, we are just waiting for the plug and play wiring harnesses to be made as we had to get special plugs made to match up to RE plugs

george milburn thanks, love the work you all do and enjoy the professional videos. I did see where RE intends to produce a scrambler version possibly for 2020. I do wish they would leave the bike alone and just produce a kit some what like Moto Guzzi did a few years back with the V7. I had a conversation with the S&S engineers at recent show and they stated the cam offered by them along with the pipes are the two best improvements you can do as far as their products are concerned so I am glad you are going to have a video for an install.

This is exactly why booster plugs exists. And the difference of changing the exhaust alone is usually 10% more hp (because of the removal of the catalyst) Changing stage 1 entirely (exhaust, air filter and spark plugs) is definitely more than 1-2 hp. Modern motorcycles are extremely constrained by emissions regulations. Don't believe me, search other videos here on yt.

You can cruise at 80mph and more with the 650 without any problems

But, Jack… Sid Lal wanted the same bike to have a wide market, so built it to be accessible to A2 licence holders in the EU and similar licence categories/restrictions in other markets. Making the twin's more powerful, or bigger capacity, would have removed a huge potential customer base. As for cruising speeds, I agree about the Bullet and its derivatives, but my stock Interceptor is happy at French autoroute speeds of 80 + mph, which realistically is as much as can be sustained for long on an un-faired bike, and has taken my lard arsed self to an indicated ton (100mph).

CALL AFTER YOU LOOSE 150 LBS...

see part 4 of the build video

Exhausts are in production now and should be ready early next year

I just got my DNA air filter as well. I have a question. When installing the DNA filter we are supposed to start the bike and let it idle for 15 - 20 minutes without revving it in order for the ECU to "relearn" its settings. Should this be done BEFORE installing the Booster Plug, AFTER, or does it make any difference?

@@jimkubitza3820 Start it and let it idle for about 15 minutes. Don't rev it up either. Most likely it'll be fine without doing this but the extra precaution won't hurt. The ECU does learn to adjust to the extra airflow and allowing it to idle just gives the ECU extra time to adjust without a load on the engine.

I was thinking the same thing

What's the advantage of belt?

@@kotimoto Lower maintenance.

No on their site says only works for euro 4 models

Yes due early next year

They modded it with custom airfilter and exhaust, that's why they need to mod the ecu.

Some Unofficial RE sites are reporting the same

From what George said, the O2 sensor is only used by the ECU in closed loop mode, ie cruising, when there isnt any throttle change, this is when it is in open loop mode and that is when it reverts to the temp sensor....

Correct, it will cause more fuel consumption actually.

Booster plug will be removed - you cant have both fighting each other for control

Probably

Only issue is putting at head-stock above the motor can cause a false high reading when stuck in traffic due to heat rising up

Me too Looking for the same From Part-4 of Interceptor Build

and me

Hi John, I'm keen to know if both can be used to compliment each other too. The booster plug keeps the ECU reading a cooler temp to help fuel mixture across the board and the powertronics is used to spread the torque and power specifc to where you want it in the rev range?? Does that sound right? Please let me know if you have heard anything confirming this. Cheers

I agree with some of what you say. A lot of people who don't understand how this works have made wild claims about boosterplugs. It works really well on bikes that have a free flow exhaust and air filter fitted. It also works well on some stock bikes that have very lumpy running or stalling at lower revs due to lean mixture. A booster plug will NOT necessarily you a BHP increase, BUT it will give you a much nicer bike to ride, with the peace of mind that it is not running too lean during acceleration. an important factor with aftermarket exhausts and air filters on some bikes.It is a handy tool in the correct situations and offers a quick low cost solution. BUT- For Heavily modified bikes I would always go for a ECU re map on a rolling road, as they normally need changes to the ignition map as well as other mods. This is why we TEST TEST TEST in all conditions, on stock and modified bikes.We don't sell parts we have not used on our bikes. At TEC we are happy to stand behind every part we sell. with a full technical and warranty back up. I have tried to give a very honest and accurate description of what it will and won't do. Also that it is not right in every bike. Without removing the cat on an early T120 you will see no real gain with just a booster plug. as the cat causes a lot of restriction on this model. This is why we offer a no quibble 60 day money back return policy if you are not 100% happy with it on your bike
