I know, I'd get more for scrap 😆👍

To be honest, it's not that loud, think the camera makes it sound loud. Just a deeper mellow sound. I have thought of getting the de cat pipe, but , I think that would definitely be too loud even for me 👍

Thanks for your advice, I said that to them. But on the last battery fitting, they said everything has been checked and all is perfect, so, only time will tell 🤞

Thanks, I can't ever change from being me, real 👍😁

Thanks, fingers crossed, been ok with plate on for over a year up to now, so long as it's not too small or you've changed any of the letters to look different and it can easily be read at distance for the cameras, should keep most police happy. well, that's what I'm going on 😁🤞👍

Thanks for your kind feedback, I definitely can't change, so it should always be real. and 👍 to subscribing.

Thanks for the lovely feedback. It changes regularly at bill Lomas, so now, I pop up about every month just to see what new stock is in. I love my BSA. Now it looks like it does, it is a shame there are a few with this problem, but, to be fair, BSA are trying to address it quickly. I've been told, if this 3rd flash doesn't work, they have a second fueling map to make it richer fueling 👍

Definitely, I had to control my wallet, it's very tempting.👍

Thanks, I use to have a zx-12r, and a 10r, both great bikes, That's probably why I'm searching for more power,. I was hoping BSA would bring out a larger engined bike at this year's show, but sadly not. So still tempted to get the z900rs now 🫣👍

Yes, Enfield are excellent bikes, I've had 2 interceptors and loved them. just tempted to see what this BSA was about and was pleasantly surprised until the cut outs. But BSA have said it's the lean fueling to pass the euro 5 and they have a richer map as last resort for me🤞👍

Thanks, BSA has said they have a Richer fuel map on the ECU if my bike won't fix to this 3rd flash🤞 👍

Thanks, I had to hold on to my wallet, it helps I've got no Room anyway in my shed 😁🤞

👍

Thanks, bill Lomas stock changes almost every day, . So I pop up about every month to see what's new. Might treat myself to a real go pro for Christmas, but don't want to get too professional 😂👍

Think this 3rd map is working a lot better, but if not, BSA has said the ECU has a richer map as a last resort 🤞👍

Thanks, I try to add a bit of humour, glad you enjoyed it 👍

Fingers crossed, no trouble with the plate in over a year. And I must have been past loads of number plate camera readers Maybe because it's clear to read by cameras and police, not too small I suppose. Or they actually think iss an old bike, Only time will tell.🤞👍

I know, I think I've been very patient, I don't know why, but this bike seems hard to part with. BSA has said the ECU has a richer fueling map if this last flash doesn't work. You right about schnauzers, great dogs, they have loads of adorable character.

That's funny about the plate 🤣. I've actually done that on a roundabout, it is a little hair raising. Hopefully, if this latest map doesn't work, BSA said there is a richer map on it so that should definitely work. Apparently, it's all about the lean mapping for Euro 5 regs.

@@awesomeappleby5923 Makes sense. I bought a new RE Interceptor in November '20 to avoid the leaner set-up for 2021 yr with the new Euro 5 stuff. The later RE's could have stalling issues at traffic lights/junctions. If they did stall then the dealers installed a 'new' map, (the pre 2021 Euro 4 mapping I found out). They worked fine then apparently with no issues !

​@@TheKRU251oh ok, I suppose that's what BSA is saying now, if this 3rd flash doesn't work they have a richer setting on the ECU, so a bit like Enfield did I suppose 👍

Thanks, it definitely brings back memories, I had that exact version of the green Kawasaki z650 in 1979. I was nearly tempted to buy it to relive my youth 😁🥴

@awesomeappleby5923 go ahead treat yourself, she's a beauty. I had a Suzuki x7 250 cc brand new in 1977 loved that bike.

@@awesomeappleby5923 I just subscribed look forward to more motorcycle memories

​@@paulsilson2148Those x7's were quick, I had a Kawasaki s1 250 in the seventies and it was the fastest 250 around in my area, until my mate got a brand new X7 and started leaving me in his dust 😢.👍

​@@paulsilson2148thanks 👍

Enfields are great, I love my interceptors, I wanted to see what this BSA is about. Glad to hear you're having stress free riding 👍 Hopefully, BSA has said they have a richer fueling map on the ECU if this last flash dont work, otherwise, I might be back to Enfields 🤞👍

BSA blamed the batteries, but my dealer put a different make for the second battery and it still fried. So fingers crossed, this last one lasts forever 🤞👍

Thanks, think a decent camera and microphone is required for Christmas 👍

That's sad, I'm on the latest 3rd map, and for a while now, no cut outs, so fingers crossed. BSA have said if this doesn't work, they have a second programme on the ECU for richer fueling that should definitely fix it.🤞

@awesomeappleby5923 Mine traded in. New dealer not interested. Final nail. Riding my 1960 a7. That never cuts out. Leaks oil though 😄

😁👍

Not connected to anything, just for show. However, some have connected the seat release to one. But, if you got small grand children that like to play with your bike, then , that seat can keep popping open 😆👍

@@awesomeappleby5923 Brilliant it looks great mate. my four grandkids are all under 6 so would love that.

I thought the cutting out may have been due to you playing about with the advance and retard lever.

🤣 never looked at it like that 🤣👍

That's great news, hopefully, this latest map gives me a bit of happiness now 🙏🤞👍

They look like "Ace Bars" to me.

Thanks, the bars were about £40 off eBay. Not as low as clip ones, and I like the fact I can add the fake choke levers on them. I put ad picture advert at the end of my other video which shows me fitting them. You've just got to make sure they have quite a deep curve to get your clocks in-between 👍

I saw the ad but it had gone before I could take the details down.

Lol, it was a bit of a feature film, just trying to get my watch hours up, thanks for helping 👍

I gave up with mine cutting out. 2 remaps . Still the same. Always going down the box. Final straw was going into a roundabout, going down box, and yes I do blip throttle. Got room so went for it, engine stopped and as you are not expecting to brake I ended up clutch in fumbling to get it started coasting into roundabout. Not good. Dealer told me they can't find anything. Then don't bring it here if you are trading it!!!!! Final straw. Too lean set up I reckon

It was great , even better there was an interval where a woman came into my lounge selling ice cream 😊

Yes, it's not good, BSA has said there is a richer map on the ECU if this current fix doesn't work 🤞👍​@@zedcharlie

Yes, it's magical in that shop, like going back in time. Thanks for the bike comments, I just need rear sets now.👍

Yes, I thought the bars looked high on some, I had a z650 in the seventies and almost sure the bars weren't that high.

Thanks, think you might be right, it does get vibey around 7000 now, probably, my feet would shake of the foot pegs if it had more revs 😆👍

It's a big single, they're not supposed to rev. My 1960 BSA 650 twin would not be happy revving to 7K.😢

@@splodge57 My 650 Suzuki xf is happy to pull up 'n over 8k rpm. It isn't worth the bother (or worry) though. All the serious whoosh is provided from 4000 - 6000 rpm. Nowt better than the lovely dollops of torquey power you can get from a good big single.

I nearly purchased a z750 in the seventies, but when I saw the z650 I couldn't resist buying that instead 👍

Thanks 👍

That's great news, mines stayed off now I wait for the EML light to go off before I press the starter button 👍

Thank you, I try to be honest, . I'm just about to post my latest video about how I've dealt with it after 21 months of ownership.

Thanks, I've had sports bikes nearly all my life, so sort of a natural position to me, but, obviously, not forever ☹️. The higher bars will go back on in the future I suspect 👍

I'd love rearsets, but sadly, no one makes them yet for this bike. I might have a go in winter making my own 👍

Yes, personally, I think they should have called it something like a silver star, and saved gold star name for a future one off special. A DBD 34 copy. I've had 2 interceptors and 2 modern bonnie's, and this Gold Star is far superior to the interceptor and not Farr off the bonnie's but £6000 cheaper. , so I suppose, they have achieved in our modern day to beat all similar competition and be top dog in the modern era of retro's. I would love a real DBD 34 but sadly, I don't know a thing about them to keep it looked after. I've got a 70 thunderbolt which is a DBD copy, this is shown on my other videos if interested 👍

@@awesomeappleby5923 l agree with you about the naming ...it all sounds just to ambitious..calling their fist bike a Gold Star was obvious reference to a DB34 .....which it was often photographed with...! l built a Triton from parts sourced from a Classic Bike dealer in the mid nineties. l made no attempt to make a 'modern version' ie:- disc brakes, belt primary drive etc...l wanted an authentic Sixties Triton, buying only the parts that made it so ...and l succeeded. even to the extend of buying a Davida Cromwell style skid-lid type crash helmet...

@@BrianLesliePerry I love Tritons, still some beautiful ones around today 👍

😂 that's funny, I would love a real Goldie, but, unfortunately, I don't have a clue how to start one or importantly, maintain one 😉 Clocks on mine do look better though, thanks 👍

Thanks, it wouldn't take much for them to do this at the factory 👍

I should ride it more, but I have more than one bike to ride , so it can get a little neglected 😊. I'm on 2000 miles Now in 20 months, and, up to now, the EML light has stayed off now I use the correct recommended start up procedure. But, unfortunately, I am still getting the cutting out issues that I have highlighted on my other videos, even though I've had the BSA recall health check and latest no 3 ECU reflash. Still love the bike though 👍

Agreed, I only purchased it because of the famous name BSA, but to be fair, unlike all the other Indian bikes, this one was designed here in England by real English designers and with the help of BSA owners club BSAOC to get it nostalgically close to the original, think they achieved that , that's why I purchased one I suppose.👍

I like donkeys

@timparry5028 😆👍

Thanks, I love the way it turned out, massive improvement 👍

It was quite annoying at first when the EML light kept coming on, but, fingers crossed, it's not been back on for a while now I follow the correct procedure 🫣😄👍

Great to hear this video helped you. Thanks for the feedback 👍

Mines never come on again. Think the problem was, I was pressing the starter button before the ECU is ready. So, if you do this every time, you may cure it. 1, Turn ignition on. 2, Wait for clock's to fully rotate. 3, wait for EML light to go off. 4, press starter button continuously until it starts. It's worked for me every time now👍 Good luck.

Thanks much, it worked and it has been a week or more now and the issue hasn't recurred. Thanks much again.

Thanks, really does make a difference to the looks. Unfortunately, because this bike is so new, no one has invented rear sets yet, so might have a go on winter designing my own.👍
