YSS FORK UPGRADE ON ROYAL ENFIELD GT 650
I install the YSS fork upgrade on a Royal Enfield Continental GT 650. YSS leaves out a couple of steps for the install and those get filled in. There are some tips for disassembly and reassembly. I discuss adjustment after install and my initial adjustments. Quick review after a 100 miles at the end.
Apologies about the video quality. I got a new camera and it appears it was worth every penny I paid for it. I think I will keep it for long shots, but I need to get something better.

NOT ANOTHER HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLBOX REVIEW
มุมมอง 220ปีที่แล้ว
After not doing any videos for about six months, I bought this great Harbor Freight toolbox and had to do a quick review of it. Great price, good build quality, comes in lots of colors NOTE: It looks like the titling got time shifted about 5 seconds. Mistakes are the signature of a What is the Wheel video.
Solution: Pump all the fuel back into the tank
มุมมอง 3842 ปีที่แล้ว
That's right, it turns out the thing to do when you need to run a pump on your Go Kart is to just run all of the fuel back in to the fuel tank. Extra benefit, I will never run out of gas. A T fitting is the best regulator.
SO MUCH PRESSURE, IT'S A FIRE HAZARD
มุมมอง 5232 ปีที่แล้ว
Well....., darn. This did not work out as planned. Turns out even a low pressure regulator needs some back pressure to reach a cut off point. SInce the needle has a very low relief point, the regulator never reaches its cut off point.
Exploding Torque Converter Fixed
มุมมอง 7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Today I take care of my torque converter problem, turns out Comet clones don't really like being spun over 8000rpm. The Tork-Zilla has ZERO problems with the revs. I solved my leaky carb problem by adjusting the float height and created a new leak with a fuel pressure regulator.

Mikuni VM26 on Predator throttle linkage setup, Part II
มุมมอง 1.2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Part II of the throttle linkage build, Part I is here: th-cam.com/video/MibSKLto4Cc/w-d-xo.html A few twists and turns, including my limited skill on the lathe and inability to judge how long it is going to take me to do something, turned this into more of a project than it seemed to be when it was in my head.

Predator 212 Mikuni VM26 install, Port Matching=Free Power

SW-Motech bag install on a Royal Enfield Continental GT 650

As much as I love the clean and classic look of my GT 650, I needed to be able to carry stuff with something better than a backpack. I ordered the SLC Urban ABS bag kit directly from SW-Motech.

GETTING THE MOST PERFORMANCE OUT OF YOUR COMET TORQUE CONVERTER CLONE

Comet torque converter(TC) clones are cheap on Ebay and we are lured by the low, low price. I wanted to try for Comet performance at the Clone price, but you have to spend money to be broke. The big issue for the Clone is the springs in it are not a known value, we don't know at what rpm they make the clutch engage, we don't know how they respond to belt tension to increase the gear ratio.

    I'm puzzled! EVERYTHING on a Royal Enfield 650 is METRIC..... Why did you just no use a 27mm Metric socket as the factory intended? No need to ruin a perfectly good nut with a sander. 🫣.

    • @WhatIsTheWheel
      @WhatIsTheWheel 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It is not a 27mm socket it is a 27mm Hex or Allen. They start around $25 and require 1" drive tools. The tool I made used the nut I ground down in the video and a cracked socket I had in my junk drawer, the cost was less than $2. The socket was trash, but I kept it for a purpose just like this.

      Some of it was for looks, both to have a clean look on the engine and to use a remote alloy tank. The tach is correct. It inducts the signal from the spark plug wire and is set to read every other signal(the coil fires on scavenge cycle too). I used them on commercial mowing equipment for years.

    Hey Chuck, just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! Your video and instructions were spot on. I just finished the fork kit today and it’s night and day difference. So much better it was crazy. You are the only one that explained how to figure out the two turns in on the emulator PD valve, by starting with no load / pressure on the spring and that’s the zero. Might be obvious but for a newbie it helped to hear that. I also made the tool just as you mention with a 3/4 nut and 1 and 1/16 socket and it worked perfectly. Anyway, I can’t thank you enough, I couldn’t have done this without you. Oh, and I realized after I took the damper rod out that that short spring is already part of the stock damper rod setup. Good fun. Cheers

      That is a tough question. When I got mine, I ended up cutting them down on the lathe to fit the hub and redrilling them. I know the hub shoulder(the the rim sits on) is 40mm and there are metric hubs in that size. You will need to figure out your axle size and see if you can get a hub that matches the axle size and hub diameter.
