I fitted both of these upgrades to my continental GT about a week after your first video stuart, I concur with what you say here they have completely transformed the bike, I rode to work during the lockdown so im about 2000 miles in since the modification and I can confirm the rear shocks just get better and better as the miles roll on. its now the best handling bike ive ever owned and the most comfortable. keep up the good work. you do a fantastic job!

OMG! Thanks for all your hard work making these videos! I just fitted the same rear shocks to my GT this morning and ended up with the preload wound down to under 25% and felt it still to be quite harsh... Was a little worried, so I got online for others' experience and found your video here. Happy now! Thanks again, your work is greatly appreciated.

More good info, Stuart. I’m getting very close to placing an order for the yss front end because I agree that needs the upgrade the most & it’s not a bad price for what you get. Some great riding to be had around the Wolds, I’m not too far from them. In fact I’m probably perfectly placed because the Lincs wolds are far either.

Thank you very much for that review. From the beginning, two and a half month ago I started riding the INT 650, front fork was an issue. It doesn't react on slight impacts, which leads to a slight shakiness of the front. I think I'll buy those YSS upgrade to get rid of this issue.

Stuart, thank you for helping to demystify one of the ‘dark arts’ - suspension. My take away is that the modifications have to be assessed over time rather than in the moment and a degree of fine tuning will result in the optimal outcome.

Very well rounded up. The stock suspension does leave you incredibly exhausted. Did a 130km run over the weekend, and it contained a lot of proper bad roads. Suffice to say both my arms just resigned from their duties for the next 2 days thanks to the sponge of a front suspension.

Suspension upgrades is the best performance enhancement one can do. I put the money down years ago for Ohlins for my BMW K1200RS and it was without a doubt the best money every spent. A smooth suspended motorcycle will give you many more hours in the seat per day than anything else you can throw money at.

I had a new Yamaha YZF 750R back in the early 1990’s, the standard suspension was way out of spec for the bike, I took the forks and rear shock to Maxton Engineering in Cheshire, Maxton’s re-valved and re-sprung the standard forks and rear shock allowing for my weight (including riding gear) and intended use for around £300, The work totally transformed the bike, I never had to touch the settings ever again. I have been riding since the 1960’s, I like to think I know suspension but I couldn’t set suspension up like Maxton’s. PS, My son has had two race bikes set up there as well, Take the stress out of it, give them a call.

I have a workshop manual for the 650 which is helpful but it does not compare to watching your videos. The videos have given me the confidence to do upgrades and maintenance because I can see how to do it correctly. Videos are worth 10,000 words. Normal people appreciate your help so please continue to give torque settings and ignore the tiny minority who give negative comments. Thanks

Difficult to imagine Uncle Stu losing his composure. :-) Several years ago, I installed new Progressive shocks and Progressive springs with 15 weight fork oil on my 1990 Suzuki VX800, and can confirm everything you've said about initial feel and break-in. Now, I actually prefer a very slightly firmer ride, but after the new suspension was broken in, the difference was night and day, especially the fork being disinclined to dive to it's stops at the sight of an imperfection in the pavement.

This is the first open and honest suspension review ive ever seen. You see youtubers fit new shocks all the time and then tell you how wonderful they are, when you know full well that scenario never happens with new shocks. They have to bed in! its not just the springs. the seals have to wear in too! YSS is a world famous brand with a proven history and they look quality. I bet there will be a lot of noddies wasting their money on tecs shocks instead for these bikes, seen some real horror stories attached to their products, buy cheap buy twice and risk your life!

Several front suspension mods have appeared on YT, and those including emulators for the damping (such as YSS) rave about the improvement from drilling out the damper rods' holes so that the rods provides no damping action - all damping provided just by the emulators. It would be interesting to see if you experience similar delight after drilling out the damper rod holes.
@neiljarvis8911
@neiljarvis8911 9 месяцев назад
I have watched one of these and to me it does seem logical that drilling the standard damping rod would mean that the damping is fully controlled by the emulator. I also find it a little puzzling that someone should spend so much money on a kit that they assume to be thoroughly developed and modify one of the primary ingredients of the recipe, like the damping fluid weight so significantly. I also understand that the emulator is adjustable and that there is a recomended starting point adjustment to the screw. My chosen aproach would be to research research and research before choosing the product and make sure that the modification provides the full benefit first time round.....having to come back to readjust the emulator a second time would not be my idea of fun, also wondering what might have been the result if I had followed tha manufacturers instructions. To be fair though, I wonder if the instructions mentiion drilling the std damper rod.

Love watching your videos. They have given me the confidence to carry out my own servicing and mods......when I am fortunate enough to have one. The interceptor is the ideal choice and I will be following your route and upgrade the suspension like for like. I am 6'2" weighing in at 13 stone. My partner is not as tall but same weight. How would you set up suspension for pillion passengers? Maybe not a relevant question, please forgive my rudeness if so.

I thought initially he was a bit nervous about leaning the bike, so I slowed down. I asked, trying not to hurt his feeling, why he slowed down so much. It turned out the his front suspension was like a 'pogo' stick. he had no preload whatever. no rebound damping. I invited him to 'bounce' the front suspension on my Striple. He couldn't believe how stiff it was compered to his Suzuki. It's supposed to compress, rebound and stop, not bounce up and down like ''Zeberdee'' from the Magic roundabout. Now, there are obviously points in between to suit one's riding... from comfort over rougher surfaces to the more sporty inclined. the same basic principal applies though, to control the action of the suspension....As you've point out it can make a hell of a difference.
@stevegoodwin5841
@stevegoodwin5841 4 года назад
Thanks Stuart. According to David Moss Tuning youtube viewing and other reading on the subject we should aim at our suspension of a street bike having sag, having static sag and having rider sag of about 30mm for street and 25mm for track with rider in gear onboard in riding position. That rider sag should also be the same front and rear. We have preload adjustment only on our oem Interceptor suspension. Measuring my Interceptor with 4000ks under its belt and me at 100kg I foung that I had sag, I had static sag and I had rider sag of 25mm in front and 30mm in rear with preload on lowest setting. Not too bad but not quite even front and rear. I would say for budget suspension Royal Enfield have done a good job. My front with time may get to 30mm of rider sag. What sort of sag figures were you achieving with the YSS suspension upgrades?

I live in Thailand, I bought an Interceptor in July of this year, was really pleased with it except for the annoying clonk in the forks when going over bumps, which I put down to little or no rebound damping. Anyway having watched youtube videos and tried adjustable preloaders(which did nothing for the problem), I ordered the YSS fork update kit which I received and fitted yesterday afternoon. Wow what a difference. no more clonk! As YSS is a Thai company and they are made here they were only 147 pounds sterling, a saving of 100 on the U.K. price so a double RESULT! Thanks Stuart for you excellent and educational videos. Keep up the good work!

@sarahdell4042
@sarahdell4042 4 года назад
The Ktech and Hyperpro are way too much money for this sorta bike. There’s not a chance you will need a top level shock on the interceptor, you wouldn’t be able to get anywhere near fully utilizing them. However the Andreani cartridges you can find for around $500, are probably worth it. The rear shocks are fine if you’re light, I probably won’t upgrade mine. The fork leaves a lot to be desired though.

I am operating on the principle that as I sell off unwanted stuff in my garage, when the income equals the suspension cost I will do the upgrade.

I wonder how it would feel with the yss upgrade but used the stock firmer springs they had you swap out for the softer springs? If the softer springs do get softer at least you know that you have spare stiffer ones and a stiffer oil grade as an option to go back to without massive purchases... good bang for your buck.

YSS shocks are pretty expensive here in India. Especially after a few minor modifications like the guards, grab rail, touring seat, tail rack and back rest for long rides and addition of auxiliary lights changing of suspension is way over the head. Can you suggest any good option in lower budget but better than the stock ones?

Will uncle Stu be carrying out the same mods to the Conti? Would love to see how to do this (safely) without a centre stand.

suspension is important in terms of bruising your Crown Jewels or not Stuart 👍

Great video and will be putting in Fork kit from YSS but not happy with the look of the shocks with the piggy back system I prefer the clean look so was wondering if mixing brands is ok, such as putting Hagon or Ohlins or is there something else I could look at...Thanks

yss makes shocks for the enfield twins that does not have the piggy backs (you can get with or with out) !

Hi Stuart, enjoyed the video but miss the accompanying music you choose. You stated the % preload settings - how are these measured? Cheers Rob

@@stuartfillingham Cheers Stuart, will have to save up for these suspension units. I like the music, for me it always fits nice with your videos. How have you found space in the garage for the Bullet - have you parted with one of the Bonnevilles?

Is the yss shock model is in midrange or there is another model with gas tank - which is much better?

Hello Stuart, Excluding the Re Bullet, having now carried out a few upgrades to all the bikes you own - along with carrying out servicing tasks - can I ask, of the two manufacturers and the four separate models of bike, which bike/bikes are the easiest to work on and get access to parts?? Hope that makes sense. Cheers Keith
