do you have a small jack? If not use some 2x4 ( lumber used for building ) placed under the frame. the tire only has to be a mm off the ground.

The fact that 18 inch is now an "odd" size and limits type and style. I found the BT46 w/o tubes is $400 to the cycle gear store and a set of Lazer Tech Michlin's for $336 . the last tube I got from CG blew out, it was the heavy duty. Come to find out there are two tube manufacturers, and they...

I have been looking at putting a Race Tech kit in, its a stateside company. Is there a fork thread?

but not for the Interceptor 650.

I like to stand up when I ride, here on the Blackland Prairie there are corn fields that grow to over 6 feet (that is a couple of meters for you metric types) Its handy to look over them. Also when rolling down hard pack and gravel roads I prefer standing. My problem is the stock pegs ( foot...

I found this site MOBIL M1-104 - cross reference oil filters | oilfilter-crossreference.com Its a close match but the diameter is 1/8 of an inch larger. The thread M20 and pitch 1.5 are good and looking at the cross references the Mahle doesn't show up. Yes it well work but it is NOT a lower...

It keeps the pole cats from getting wedged into the frame when you run over one, it also reduces armadillo splatter when you hit one.

It was 3 inches long, #8 in size so a plug would have worked like a champ.

I just dropped $30 US for a heavy duty tube and $40 US to have it installed. I could not break the bead, otherwise I would have installed it myself. Tube got ripped by a 3 inch screw and couldn't be patched. It won't take very many of those to consider a alternate system that is plug and play...

I have the RE plate still sitting on the bench, can't give it away!. I am happy with the TEC, its easy to remove and install during the oil change.

Thats the nice thing about forums, it allows you to mark a time when you did something and if it goes south, you can always post up when it quit. I presume you can get brake caliper paint at an auto parts store.

I was looking at my bike and thought" the Royal Enfeild needs to be painted red" well then browsing this forum I see I wasn't the only one. Here I was thinking I was all original and such 😉 Well I went to the hobby store and got me some red model paint by Testor , got me a brush and went to...

The oil thread!!!! been my experience, synthetics well get you maybe 5K miles (8KM) between changes with a liquid cooled bike. You can feel the shifts are not as smooth after it breaks down. Air cooled I would say 3K miles (4800 KM) you well notice it in the shifts. Because it changes out so...

The Interceptor and Continental are designed to keep the aftermarket busy. It starts with one little thing and like a snow ball rolling downhill, next thing you know its out of control! I needed the bars another inch up and the footpegs down and back. then it was panniers and the new seat...
