Royal Enfield - The Last Masters - Episode 1- "Diewald's Diesels"
In this series we are looking into the lives of Royal Enfield mechanical wizards and legends, before they fade away and disappear into the darkness of modernity, without the recognition they deserve.
Episode 1 is a documentary of one of Germanys great motorcycle mechanics, Mr. Wolfgang Diewald, and his work with the elusive Royal Enfield diesel motors. This is my personal recount on how I first met Mr. Diewald in 2012 in the Black Forest in Germany, and how he is doing today, twelve years on.
Thankfully in 2012, I had taken some photos of his work whilst he was working on an amazing 800cc diesel engine amongst other classic 500 Enfields. And so I went back to show them to him, to elaborate and explain his fascinating creations.
At the time of filming, Mr. Diewald was struggling with his health (2024) and therefore I urge all of you to send him your prayers for a speedy recover, so he can keep doing what he loves for the next 20 years... at least.

It's made to be scratch so no worries, let's hope that's the only think that will get scratches on this bike! Safe rides! Greetings from Romania, now come and ride on Transfagarasan road, you will love it!
Oh wow we'd love too ..thanks for the invite... we've got a lot of riding and filming to do this summer so when we decide to rock up we'll let you know .. 🙌
@@Ridernineteenone yes please, let me know and I will love to be your guide, leave a comment here if you come and we will find a way to get in touch. Safe rides!
Hi, thank you for the amazing videos :) I am planing to buy TRK702X and I need your honest review? Is it good at all, comparing value and quality? Because one of the travelers i meet had a gearbox problem after 13000km. So watching your video and the issue with the chain u had, did you manage to solve or you have replaced with the new one?
Was the chain the only issue you encountered so far (besides the vibration you had on the first ride)? Did vibrations reduce? I am planning to purchase this bike, and I am still wondering if the value actually justifies the quality. Would you give me some recommendations and let me know how it has been so far with the TRK702X? Thanx in advance
Hi Ivanius, Thanks for your comment, Let me give you a short answer... Would we buy the bike again!..yes yes and yes ... we love the bike and definitely think it's worth every penny.. we are planning to do another video in the future for 3000 plus kms and give you all an update.. Go for it
The chain on my TRK702x has this issue. I will report back to the dealer wit it, as they said it would take some kilometers to get better. Done 5000km now, still stuck elements.
Hey thanks for your message .. After we did the chain maintainence this got better for us .. initially we had some minor rusting issues but I coated it with chain lube ... also we've been having really shit weather here in Germany and its been rainy constantly so that really didn't help the situation .. Keep me posted
@@Ridernineteenone i took the Cobbra chain oiler from my MT07 and will fit it on the TRK. See if extra chainsaw oil will do the trick.
@@frankbuutveld Sounds fancy that cobra... lov eeet👍👍👍
@@Ridernineteenone works perfectly. Just a bit more messy for the rearwheel.
do you plan to buy the skidplate ? , i buy it, but i believe i have to remove the exhaust wich is sad for now , also the double stand was pain to install also the springs ultimate challenge
Hey there thanks for your message. No we haven't really thought about it yet ... Remove the exhaust??????? why???? please explain...

@@Ridernineteenone hoping this weekend to install it
I use warm water and dish detergent to clean my chain. Detergent breaks up grease residue really well and after it’s dry I use chain wax.
Please please please, show the results! Was very educative and are really nice these crash bars
Holy lord I thought I did that!... 🙀..lesson learned
thanks for such good review You helped us (buyers) so much every info means a lot to us. please tell me about fuel consumption per 100 km I took my 702 x in the end of february great bike but i think that 6 lit per 100 km is a little bit too much what do You think? Curently i drove 312 km and poured 18 litres/ That is 6 lit /100 km?
How is the resale market over there? Here in the US Benelli is garbage, so maybe not the same manufacturing and you guys have a non chinese built bike I'm not sure. We have CFMOTO here in the US as well which is getting popular but their immediately a 50% depreciation when you buy one, so most stick with Honda/Yamaha for ADV stuff.
No instructions with mine either,, and one or two scratches
Vibrations cleared up after the first service???? What could have been that loose?
Well honestly the vibrations are less but still present... this will be a concern for us because when we decide to go for longer rides the vibration from the pegs will affect my wife's plates in her ankle as she twisted and broke it whilst hiking in the forest...I tell you walking is more dangerous than riding LOL
@cf23575 not sure that all wheelchair motorcyclists agree with you... :( :) I use a material from Germany which I put as a washer between footpeg and bike. Reduces vibration nicely: SLAB SL750 OR 450. Forgot which is harder but the harder is the better one. The 1cm thick will compress to like 5mm but still reduce vibrations nicely. There are pro anti vibration pegs from the US but they will cost you...
hi there!i had decide to go for the new transalp.but,transalp with the extraw i want will go close to 13k.this is at 8.5k with everything.so i m thinking seriously for this bike.i dont have the chance for a test ride,so i went to a dealer and sat on one.,i am 1.80 and i would like my legs to be a little lower.a solution is to make a custon higher seat.and to take off the ruber from the pegs.so,the question is did you found much vibrations to the pegs?at high revs let say.if the ruber be removed,do you think will be annoying?
Hello Thodoris ..Definitely cannot imagine removing the rubber from the pegs and at 4000 rpm it will be terribly annoying... because 4k and the harmonic 8k is usually where we find ourselves riding. You can learn to shift differently but it doesn't feel natural.
@@cf23575 so,you have test ride it,or you own one?
Don't use a chain cleaner containing solvents they're not good for the o-rings, try buying a three sided motorcycle chain cleaning brush it's easier and quicker, ever thought about chain wax instead of oil or Teflon chain lubricants, I've used wd40 chain wax for years, doesn't fling off or collect dirt but you do need to leave it to dry properly before you use the bike,, overnight is best
Hi Michael , Lots of people are commenting on this.. however to address your comment there are a couple of things to note. Firstly this is a new bike and new chain and gave issues from the first ride, which indicates the problem right there.. it's a poor quality chain .. so I pretty much have no love for it and was considering replacing it with something of a higher quality.. Secondly I am very well versed with the chemical compositions of the solvents I use on my bikes and know what results I can expect from using them.. As I mentioned in other comments as well, I actually used a much harsher solvent off camera to try to get the chain to loosen up .. it did improve but still a far cry from my liking.. I might just change the chain entirely.. so everything is relative using harsh solvents for a short period of time is ok in my opinion as long as you wipe it off soon and then oil it nicely.. But thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.. the biker community is awesome 😎 and I love every one of you guys from the bottom of my heart..
Chinese sh..t, buy original DID !
WD 40 will ruin a O ring chain it causes the rubber O rings to swell and degrade.
That's no more than a motorcycle myth.. personally I have experienced no such thing in my years of chain maintenance, probably because I don't leave it on for long ..and it always does the job for me .. but every one is entitled to their own opinions 😊
Hi Lester, Many people have been commenting on this .. you will find my thoughts on this in the replies, because I cannot keep typing the same reply to everyone. Do read the comments section and I'll be happy to answer any further questions. 😊 Thanks for your comment 👍
Hi, ive also cleaned my chain with wd40 but the dealer advised me not to use that and rather to use just regular motul chain cleaner + moisturizer. Also when i go over 50 i hear a loud thin sound from the front small chain sprocket, not sure whats up with that? Do you hear it on your bike?
Hi Lorenzo, well I would think that there is no real exact scientific approach but WD 40 stands for Water Displacement number 40 .. and I would say it is a mild de-greaser .. as I mentioned in the film I used a much harsher de-greaser as well .. the reason your dealer told you not to use it is probably because there is grease inside the links ..but if you wipe it off before oiling it everything should be fine.. you cannot use WD 40 to lube the chain..that's clear.. but for cleaning it is absolutely fine.. I haven't actually noticed any noise from the front sprocket but I'll keep a ear out for it.. Thanks for your comment 😊😊
nice video,where did you get your crash bars from please👍
Hi Brian .. we bought it on AliExpress 😅.. I think I mentioned that in the video.. do you have a Benelli too?
what was actually mounting the bracket like? it doesn't hurt that it is on the suspension point of the block. Did you use some nut /washer for the space or is it right on the frame (just screw out, bars on and screw in? thank you ;)
@@michalzilka It's pretty easy but you might have to use the original bolt because the bolt that comes with the kit doesn't fit the recess in the block on the left side ..
Great review, thank you. I have a trk 502x and I am going to switch towards the 702x but still making up my mind regarding the colour.. moon grey(white) or the dune sea. Had a testride and the lack in performance/hp which was the only issue for me with the 502x is solved with the 702 ☺️
Let me know when you switch 😊.. awesome
@@Ridernineteenone waiting for delivery 🙏😄 dune sea it is. Hoping end of this week or next week for delivery. Looking forward to it
@@pieterjacobs7943 Whoooo hoooo.. I'm excited for you bro ... Whoo hoo
After seeing the paint scratches on yours, I think I will go for the stainless steel version. But good video for me to follow 👍
Glad to help out.. however keep in mind the chrome might not last very long if you live near water..
@@Ridernineteenone it’s stainless steel not chrome, but I Know what you mean. I think the black would suit the bike better 👍
@@martinwoodhead4842 keep me posted 😊
Nice colour scheme on the bike. Not seen that before 👍
Had a tough time convincing the missus.. 😂..I like the colour scheme too .. I wish I had recorded her reaction when she first saw it..😅.. that's the first thing the women notice..
Of course my brake works😂😂😂 I'm dying
First and foremost, good review, mine is also on order, but regarding your maintenance you are obliged to go to an authorized dealer, regarding your warranty, if you renounce it, you are no longer entitled to the warranty, should something of any kind arise. nature too and if you regularly light up oil warring is not okay 2nd issue you brake the first 100-200 kilometers your motorcycle does not brake as it should, your brake pads still need to be broken in, the same with your tires, but I assume you know all this know, I think you should mention this in your review, there are always people who do not have this experience and end up on the wrong foot. Kind regards.
Hi Marc, Thanks for your comment and terribly sorry for the late reply. We did go to the authorised dealer for the first service and yes our warranty is perfectly in tact👍 The oil warning seems to have cleared up and hasn't shown up except when starting the bike which is normal.. Regarding the break pads you may have a point however I think since the break disks were not cleaned initially and I rode it 300kms straight out the dealership with hard braking I think it damaged the performance of the pads temporarily .. however later I did rough them up with sand paper and that issue was sorted as well.. I hope you got yours..keep me posted😊
I have had a feeling we have been overpaying for our bikes. And it seems the Chinese are ready to help us getting more smiles for euro now. I do love watching reviews of chinese bikes, now they are making more up market products.
Yes sadly dem shy-knees have become the factory of the world.. it's a slippery slope that one if you know what I mean
I currently have a tiger 800, but i`m seriously impressed with the reviews on the 702, especially at the price
Hi Kevin sorry for the late reply.. I have a Tiger 1200 rally pro 2022 .. the triumph 800 looks like an awesome bike .. haven't had the chance to ride it myself but hopefully I will get a test ride from my dealership and do a review on it .. if I had the budget I would have bought that one for the missus..
😂
Genius!😂😂
😂😂😂Brilliantly said! Finally they're saying something worth listening to and that makes sense! I think all countries need Triumph spirit... Maybe they could gift one to every President... Ours would look super cool riding one - Tribal Tiger rides the Triumph Tiger.
Thank You for this good review with some humour. The countryside there is very picturesque too.
this or the cfmoto 800
where did you find those? Can you post a link please?
I bought them off AliExpress.. but are you sure you wanna order from the same store ? Have them arrive scratched!?.. here's the link anyway 😅a.aliexpress.com/_EjG4xa5
@@Ridernineteenone thank you for the response!
Haunting video... 😢
verry nice and good to watch to see how it has to be installed when you installed the under crashbar did you have to make sure the engine did not move and what are the torque specs for those bolts?
Thank you so much for your comment ... I installed the lower crash bars with no engine movement however there was a problem with the nuts that came with the lower crash bars, they didn't seem to fit properly and I had a hard time trying..so I just used the original bolts and that worked out. I can't exactly remember what torque specs I used right now (because it was a long time ago- and I don't even remember what I eat for lunch today lol ) but if I recall them I will let you know.
@@Ridernineteenone thank you very much for your reply is it from same manufacturer as the upper bars?
Thanks for the information... its very poor not supplying you with no instructions .. very disappointing having scratches on the frame
Most welcome and thanks for watching... yeah the scratches were quite a shocker frankly..those are genuine reactions in the video...but it's all good! my wife is happy she has her crash bars finally after the long wait so all's well that ends well.
Congratulations as that was a very tricky install considering no instructions were included in the box,the crash bars are impressive & look fantastic on the Benelli just a shame they were badly packed & sustained some paint damage. Will you be installing a set of auxiliary lights to the bike?
Hehehehe Auxiliary lights ...that cracked me up because it's so me to do that....but it is the wife's bike and she probably won't have it... Love the thought though ... and yes the scratches really got me right peeved ... but as I said in the comment above "my wife is happy she has her crash bars finally after the long wait so all's well that ends well."..thank you for watching ..
im not trying to be disrespectful but i just wanted to point out that women naturally have bigger butts than men and therefore more cushion while they are sitting on it if you know what i mean LOL
Good day! Watching here from Philippines. I'm planning to buy Benelli trk702, and researching about the bike.
The oil light I figured out. The actual light (on above screen ) goes off when engine comes on, but the main screen gets stuck with the red light if you switch on the engine at the moment the flashing was on. It’s a factory fault
Ohhh Good to know thanks for that ...
Is the speedometer showing kms or mph😮
Kmh 😆
gern mehr davon, überlege auch, mir die 702 X zu holen
Definitely..thank you..more on the way 😊
What what what ? Germans who drive Benelli doing english review ?! Strange times indeed . I also bought this one , it should arrive within next 1.5 months , my 1st ever motorcycle straight after driving school . I was breaking my head almost 3 months what to buy, i did visit all 4 Japanese saloons ... I choosed this one because of price , extra travel bags,comfort and really gorgeous look . Friends of mine who owns their motorcycles told me i should pick anything that suits my height and fits my budget . I actually took this without even trying it or sit on it - they are quite popular here in Croatia and they are beeing sold out very quickly . I could've only try TRK 502 X , which was almost same size :/
Haha I'm actually Italian.. born and brought up in India ..but identify as German 😂😂😂😂😂... It's a really strange combo bro 😂😂😂 I like putting hot sauces and chilly on wiener schnitzel... But don't eat pineapple pizza 😂😂😂... Great to hear that you have joined our family of motorcyclists ...we look out for each other on the road .. please wear protective gear at all times even if it's too hot .. I think you've made the right choice with the 702 X 👏👏👏.. if you have watched the video you know what to expect.. I'm working on a PT 2 of the video so subscribe to know when I post it .. thanks for your comment.. be cool and ride safe so you can ride forever
If you hadn't noticed most people prefer english in their video' as there is a much wider audience, which in turn brings more subscribers. Also better than just being known worldwide in Germany (Germans will understand this). I recognised the 'indian' accent straight away in his english, altho' a bit confused at first, his statement about being Italian born in India clarified this. What boggled me was, if the bike is for his wife why change things on it to suit yourself if she's happy with it. Let her get used to the bike first as it is and then if she is unhappy with this or that let her make that decision. Crashbars I understand, but handlebars and rear mudguard, it's her bike right, then she cleans it, without, this is one thing less to clean. Your wife will love it more having more say concerning HER bike 😉.
@@Wrong-Way-Round Hi there, you're not wrong about changing things around on "her" bike however, to my defence I don't think she minded the changes at all, and all said and done she will come to appreciate them more as time goes on and the rides get more technical. As her husband and rider-guider I must ensure that no part of the motorcycle comes in the way of her learning experience..an in my experience the angle and height of the handle bar is very important especially when you need to stand up on gravel. As far as the cleaning goes guess who is gonna be in charge of THAT lol .... But thanks for your comment and thanks for watching..Ride safe

Pozdrav Branko. Reci mi koliko si visok i jel ti odgovara motor što se tiče veličine? Ja sam 195 visok i sviđa mi se izgled, ali nisam siguran kako bi izgledao na njemu.
Im very shocked at the treatment & poor service you received from your Benelli dealer,as you own a New machine that’s under the manufacturers warranty All service parts should be genuine items & Not aftermarket parts. This would invalidate your warranty if your were unfortunate to make a claim. Its lucky that you are competent and able to carry out all the essential service/safety work yourself as not everyone can. Excellent first ride review as to me this bike is very tempting & great value as a Budget adventure machine. Unfortunately in the UK All stock appears to be sold & the next batch is due March 2024.
Absolutely correct... Chinese manufacturing has come a long way however they don't spend much on R&D and after sales service.. I've noticed this with some very expensive camera gear I bought recently as well, same story .. great build quality upto 95% and then some really stupid flaw that you have to overcome and modify using aftermarket parts.. However for the price these niggles can be overlooked and overcome, if, you stay patient and have some handyman skills.. Every machine has its drawback it just depends on what we can live with .. I've had some issues with my triumph tiger 2022 as well, and it's still under warranty.. however I will make another video on this one and explain everything.. Personally I can handle a lot because I am an ex-motorcycle mechanic myself but if you think of the average consumer like my wife ... well that's why I'm starting to make these videos..Thanks for your comment much appreciated🤗
@@Ridernineteenone I agree 100% & we all need to take Chinese products very seriously now as they are getting very close to the popular motorcycle brands now but better value for money. I really think I will be changing my 2017 Honda NC750X for either a New Benelli or CF Moto early next year. I too do home servicing so will try my best to care for it myself as long as I can obtain parts. Keep the Benelli updates coming,it would be great to view some workshop /service videos on the TRK702 as I’m sure other owners would benefit from them.
@@johndavy8801 Yes that line has certainly blurred into oblivion, the bigger motorcycle companies cannot rest on their laurels anymore.. competition is good for us and the market ...the build quality although copied is definitely up to scratch.. If your budget permits I would highly recommend the CF moto Ibex 800 or mt 800 as called here in Europe.. It's something I have actually fantasised about.... selling my tiger and buying it🤫... it's about 13k here in Germany.. Still can't bring myself to sell the tiger though😮💨... but when I saw it in person at the dealership the force was strong.. however if budget is a concern the TRK 702x is definitely my second recommendation ..
Nice video, lovely views. Cheers
Hello, have you tried the motorcycle as a duo? because the passenger seat seems small and tilted. Top video
Ya the passenger seat is not really suitable for anything but a backpack 😆
Have owned the Leoncino 500, was a fun bike really enjoyed it. I think Benelli are making some nice machines, will check this one out when it arrives in Australia
Yes yes yo ... I'm sure you'll love it
