about Vibrations. The W800 is a paralell twin ( you can look up here on You tube if you are not familiar with the engine concept) All paralell twins, like W800 or Yamana xs650, vibrate. That comes with the concept of the paralell ( 360) twin The Royal Enfield interceptor is a 180 o twin, vibrates less, if you don,t accept the vibrations

@khalilGT Год назад

Thank you for the information😉

@josephilip1798 Год назад

The new royal Enfields are 270° parallel twins

@MultiSunra Год назад

@@josephilip1798 The term "Parallel twin" is often misused for other model of twin engines. Strictly speaking, a parallel twin is a 360 o engine, where both pistons go up and down at the same time. The term straight twin and inline twin were used more generically for any crankshaft angle, like the 180 and also the Enfield 270 degree engines. By now, the terms are often - but incorrectly - used interchangeably. I see the 270 o Enfields sometimes referred to as parallel twin engine, and visaversa the W800 referred as straight twin.

Vibrations? Yeah, why the hell are you riding it above 4000rpm constantly??? Its not a gsx. There is absolutely no need for high revs. Max hp and max torque are both way below 4000. So its actually slower the way you ride it. Keep it between 2000 and 3000.

No that is not right Max speed is at 6200 rpm and max torque at 4500 rpm And the vibrations already started at low torque. It really was the first thing I noticed when I got on the bike and I think for a bike that costs around 10'000 Swiss Francs you could expect a bit more smoothness. But there are different opinions and if you consider to buy one you should just test ride the bike :)
