Fitting TINY Mirrors To My Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 - How To Fit Purpose Built Moto Scrambler
In this video I’m fitting some aftermarket mirrors to my Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. They are by an Australian company called Purpose Built Moto and the mirrors I’m fitting are their scrambler mirror.
These are a universal fit mirror but in this how to video, I’m showing you how to fit these specifically to the 2018-2023 Interceptor.
The aluminium tube I use as a spacer in the video is 8x1mm.

It Was Last Serviced 10 Years Ago! Ford Focus Service - How To / ASMR
มุมมอง 219หลายเดือนก่อน
In this How To / ASMR video I’m giving a 2007 Ford Focus 1.6 a much needed service. It was last serviced in 2014! Yes 10 years ago! I honestly don’t know how it was still running on that engine oil. In the video I replace the engine oil and the oil filter, the air filter and the spark plugs. This is my first TH-cam video so if it was a bit awkward in places I apologise. If you enjoyed it or gai...
Sweeet 🙌🏻
Thank you Olaf 🙏🏻
I'm not a mechanic but I would disconnect the battery first if I was to do this .
That’s totally up to you. I’ve never disconnected a battery to remove a relay. If the bike was running I wouldn’t advise it but with the ignition switched off it won’t do any harm.
Brilliant , great to see the young 'uns teaching us oldies a thing or two. I had a similar experience with my new 2021 18k r1250gs the tracker fitted FOC left me stranded twice (flat battery). All things mechanical can break down no matter the price !!. Looking to buy one of these as a second bike. Regards Robert.
Hey Robert. Thanks for your feedback. Yep, anything with tyres fitted can fail! 🤣 Go and test one if you haven’t already. They are a great little bike that guarantees to put a smile on your face every time you ride it 👍🏻
Great video Jack...Do u know if this issue applies to the other 650s?
I’m not sure to be honest. I’ve heard of people having this issue on the Himalayan so maybe
isnt it such a pain to take the tappet cover off sheesh
Yeah, it’s quite tight coming off too. Not much room
Spraying WD40 on the whole engine bay doesn't loosen any nuts and bolts? Just curious to spray it on my car and how to get rid of wd40 smells?
No it will be fine. As for the smell it goes away after a short while. I kind of like the smell though 😊
@j.brocky thanks i always thought it would loosen bolts, and may weaken while driving. Thanks for clarifying. I might get used to the Smell then. It makes me uncomfortable 😖
@@j.brocky places to avoid spraying WD 40?
Gidday Jack. Bought my Interceptor new, here in NZ, (2021) and the fuel pump relay failed at about 800kms. My RE dealer knew straight away what the issue was…I was not the first, so they swapped out the three OE relays with aftermarket ones, and cleaned the factory grease away, replacing with proper electrical grease. Problem solved. From that point on they went on to do that procedure with all their new stock of RE models prior to selling. Good vid, cheers mate. Bill
Hey Bill. Sounds like you’ve got a great RE dealer there. That’s a rare find these days. Thanks for the feedback on my video, appreciate it 👍🏻
@@j.brocky Yep, good buggers at Motorcycle Replacements, (MCR), Dunedin NZ.
Are you mechanic or do you do this for fun? I like to do this stuff just like for fun and satisfaction
I’m a fully qualified mechanic but I left the trade a few years ago. I still enjoy working on my bike and car though just like you do 👍🏻
@@j.brocky that's great 👍 all the best for whatever you are doing now
@ thanks 🙏🏻
India trash
Thank you. As a still-learning backyard tinkerer, I never knew about grease in electrical fittings.
No worries, glad to help 👍🏻
What did you expect. To last a lifetime without any trouble.its not a Honda.
No not at all mate. Just wanted it to last longer than a 20 minute ride 🤣 It’s all sorted now anyway 👍🏻
Brilliant
👍🏻
Interested to see how the anodizing holds up for you, had a couple items from them and all have started to shift colour after a few months. Also got the headlight which is good quality and bright but disappointingly they are not for left hand driving as the kick/step up on the beam is the wrong side.... strange as in Aus they drive on the same side as us so you would have thought the light would be made for that purpose... guess not very purpose built.
Thanks for the heads up. That’s crazy with the headlight situation! Have you tried their indicators? I was looking at them online too
@@j.brocky I haven't, I was temped but went with smaller motogadget ones in the end.
@ love the motogadget stuff. Their mirrors look amazing. Expensive though 😬
Checked mine today. I do have four and also different relays. Also never had problems with fuel cut out. Changed it anyway while I am in. I do have the Euro 4 from 2020.
Yeah I think the euro 4 have 4 relays and they are 5 pin. I could be wrong though
I did drop my baby the first day I owned her. Parked on my driveway, didn't notice the little slope away from the right, put down the kick, lifted my right leg off the bricks and as I leaned left, she moved right.... ugh. I did my best to hold her up but 500lbs will do what it wants. Bent my rear brake lever and a couple of tiny scratches on the exhaust. Learning curve for this rookie. I am one of those weirdos that actually likes the look of the OEM mirrors; makes me think of Quadrophenia. 🤷♂
Ahh no!! You must have been gutted. Yeah I had no chance as soon as my bike went over. I quickly put the side stand down and ran to the other side to lift it as it was slowly moving forwards and sliding down the wall! 😥
Yes the mirrors look good and as you say it’s great to personalise your bike. I am interested to see what comes next. Thanks for your very clear step by step video.
Thanks Jonny. Yeah stay tuned, I’ve got a few plans for her 😬
I swapped my OEM chrome mirrors for the OEM black ones. I think the chrome ones are a little cheap looking and the black is a better match for the sunset strip colour scheme.
Yeah I 100% agree with you. That was what I originally had in mind to fit the stock ones in black then I stumbled across these ones.
Do you plan on going from chrome to black on any other parts?
I’m going to paint the silver brackets for the headlight and the brace above the front mudguard. In my opinion they really don’t suit the bike in silver
Absolutely agree, I also wanted to black out the chrome on the indicators and rear light surround.
Mine cut out twice on the first day. I suspected a faulty relay as I once had that issue on a new car. Found great globs of lithium grease which I blew out with a compressed air nozzle. I sprayed contacts with a graphite based penetrating oil and that was the end of the issues. I kept the original relays and they've been fine since. I thought it was just my enfield but looked it up and found your channel. Good for you and thanks.
It’s not a good feeling when it cuts out on your first ride is it?! Glad it’s sorted. Thanks for dropping a comment and sharing your story
Another great and informative video. Well done Jack
Glad you enjoyed it 😉
Clear and easy instructions Jack. Keep it coming! 10k service video (when you get there!)
Thanks Robert. Yeah will do 👍🏻
I'm an equipment tech and have been full-time since the late 80's. 90+% of relays replaced aren't actually defective. The connections were the issue all along. Relays like this are very easy to test. There's a diagram right on them that explains what each terminal is for. In the unlikely event you do have a defective one, don't purchase a replacement from a dealer unless you want to pay two, three, or four times the price. None of these are application-specific. Interestingly, the same relay doing the same job on two different brand machines are factory-installed in a different manner. Some use a dielectric compound during installation, while others don't. Compounds used on connectors like the one shown in this video will never "seal up the connections" unless the entire connector is packed full of the stuff. (Including the back side where the wires enter.) To accomplish "sealing", a better solution is to use a connector with a silicone seal around its base that the skirt on the relay slides over to seal things up. Each individual conductor is also sealed on the back side where it enters the plastic connector with a tiny silicone seal around each wire. Do a Google image search for "sealed relay holder" to see some examples. Compounds on unsealed relay holders tend to make an unnecessary mess. Sealed relay holders with the silicone seal only actually work when used with matching relays with the skirt to slide over the silicone seal.
Hope you succeed with the channel, at least you have a solid background, looking forward to a motorcycle review.
Thanks for the kind words. A review is definitely on the cards 👍🏻
use cue tips ?
Yes you could do. Whatever works best for you.
Had a starting issue with my 2020 INT. Replaced with Hitchcock's upgraded relays after carefully removing the white goo. Nary a problem since. Nearly 8000 miles now. Still love the bike! Excellent job on this video Sir.
That’s great news. I’ve heard they are a reliable bike. Thanks for your feedback 👍🏻
Have you mentioned it to Mr Enfield
No I’ve not contacted Mr Enfield 🤣
En mis 55 años he usado grasa para rodamientos SKF o grasa grafitada en todos los contactos de mis vehiculos incluyendo bujias. Ahora pretenden que solo se use grasa dielectrica como si una grasa conductora fuese a ocasionar un cortocircuito. Las grasas son aceites mezclados con solidos, la tendencia es escurrir y secarse. Lo mas probable es que esa basura de grasa blanca pierda el aceite y se convierta en un solido aislante con todos los problemas que de ello deriva. El limpia contactos tampoco sirve. En mi Interceptor he usado pincel con gasolina y por ultimo soplete con gasolina con ayuda de compresor. Y aire para secarlo. Antes que limpia contacto te recomiendo un WD40 si no tienes gasolina y compresor. No necesitas reemplazar los reles. Y dada la baja temperatura, Hasta la vaselina que compras en farmacia puede ser mejor que la basura que trae o una grasa dielectrica.
That’s a first for me, I’ve never heard of anyone using bearing grease on electrical contacts before. Each to their own I guess. I managed to remove 99% of the grease Royal Enfield used with contact cleaner so I’d say it did a decent job. I don’t fancy using gasoline and a torch so close to the fuel tank on a brand new motorcycle, it sounds like an accident waiting to happen. Thanks for sharing your tips and dropping a comment 👍🏻
this fault has been around for a long time so why has it not been fixed at the factory?
I believe so, I honestly can’t answer that. It needs sorting though
Helpful 👍🏻
Thanks. Glad you found it helpful 👍🏻
I bought a 2021 Interceptor brand new 👍 which is a Euro 4 I've never had any issues with it' I'm not a mechanic, But I have over 50 years of Motorcycling experience, and I have done all my own servicing on it, Seems to me if I had a brand new Interceptor i still wouldn't spend a penny on it if it was under warranty ❓ But each to his own, Couldn't you have used Q-tips to get the grease out, progressing to de-greaser spray ❓ Cheers Paul 👍
Hi Paul, happy to hear your Interceptor has been good to you. Hopefully mine will be now too. For me the wait to get in at my local dealership is on average 3-4 weeks, once it’s in there I’ve then got to wait for them to diagnose it (if they can) and finally wait for parts. This is a cheap fix so personally it’s a no brainer for me to do the job myself. If the bike had a more serious/expensive issue I would 100% be letting the dealership look at it. Yeah Q-tips might work, providing they are small enough to fit into the female connection. Whatever you can get your hands on to get the job done. Thanks for dropping a comment 👍🏻
Great Video! Mine hasn't done it yet. I am linking this in my Maintenance playlist for others to see hopefully. Named my son Jack too. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to drop a comment and I’m glad you liked it. More content is on the way 👍🏻
Quell'angolo del fianchetto si spezza solo andando cambiati già due
Ok thanks
A mild case of ocd when servicing cars and bikes is good, I’m the same, there is a guy who lives local to me he has a big case of ocd and the best most trusted mechanic I’ve ever known,
I think so too. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for dropping a comment 👍🏻
This is why you don’t buy this inferior rubbish, underpowered , cheap parts and styling dubious.
Each to their own I guess. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍🏻
Its such a lovable bike, but you guys are so tolerant...40 yrs running second hand Japanese bikes (bought new ones when i was younger) and this sort of thing simply doesn't occur....in my experience. Its a lovely video though and so well presented 👍
Can’t beat the Japanese for reliability, I absolutely love their engineering. I think having these little niggles is part of the charm of these Enfields. Thanks for your feedback on the video 👍🏻
@JackBrock-YT As a classic bike lover I get that 👍
👍🏻🇨🇦
Thanks 🙏🏻
Oil name whether its 10 w 15 oru ??
Silkolene pro 4 10W-50 🤌🏻
Bought my classic 500 in 2020. The only problem I had was a relay that caused the engine to cut out. Dealer replaced it and I have not had a problem since.
That’s great. Has it been a reliable bike apart from the relay issue? Thanks for sharing your story 👍🏻
@@j.brocky Yes - reliable, no other problems.
Sorry but I could never buy an RE
They aren’t that bad. Hopefully this will be my only issue with the bike 🤞🏻
@@j.brockyexpect plenty. Reg/rec , coils, to name a couple. I've had them all and some unique
@ thanks for the heads up Andrew 👍🏻
Good show Jack, I had this same problem with the Y2K V11 Moto Guzzi (the one with the big tube headers and 6 speed tranny) I bought new that year (Y2K). Back then (24 years ago) a quick trip to the local Radio Shack for upgraded relays over the OEM Italians, all was well. I’m currently shopping for a new or used Interceptor or, maybe a Continental GT. Tips like yours here will insure I will indeed have a roadworthy runner
Thanks for taking the time to comment and I’m glad you enjoyed it. Apart from this minor hiccup it’s been flawless. It’s amazing how many people stop and talk to you about the bike when you are out and about, I love both the conti and the interceptor. I went with the interceptor as I only have one bike, I think the conti might get a bit uncomfortable on longer rides. Ideally I would have one of each! 😁
Really good video, thanks. I have subscribed and hope that you do some more videos on the Interceptor in the future.
Thanks for the feedback and subscribing. Yes plenty of videos on the way. Swapping the factory mirrors next 😊
@@j.brocky 👍
Good one mate.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
I suspect the same issue on my Meteor 350.
Check them out Frank, it doesn’t take long. Thanks for your comment
my new himalan 411, with 5000 km, is almost dead as well, making very stange noises...
Has it ever been serviced? The 300 mile one is important. The valve clearances must be checked.
Is this lithium grease applied in India? If yes, this means there are out there many non reliable RE bikes waiting to stop working because of this issue. Good to know, I will never buy one.
I believe so. It’s all good now 😊
I noticed the new relay has an extra pin ,is that of any significance?
Great spot! As soon as I posted this video I realised I never mentioned that these are 5 pin relays. The 5th pin is obviously redundant on the Interceptor (no wire to the plug/pin) as there is no secondary circuit to link up to, just one primary circuit per relay. I literally ordered the 5 pin because I could get it the next day. As long as the amps are the same it will be fine running 5 pins. Thanks for taking the time to comment 👍🏻
@JackBrock-YT thanks, I've the same colour scheme, had it a year now,today she cut out just the once,started straight away with a slow bump start,next job on list is this grease clean up.will give your channel a follow, hope to get one back, York biker.
@ it’s the best colour 😉. Thanks for the follow. I’ve just subscribed to your channel. Yeah give it a go. Fingers crossed it fixes it for you. Let me know how you get on
Euro 4 vEuro 5 is the difference
dealers should be doing that under warranty
Yeah they should really but for how long it takes to do, it’s not worth waiting weeks to get it in at the dealership.
Cheers Jack, this is a nicely made video that explains things clearly for the mechanically incompetent like me. There is room for stuff like this so keep it coming.
Thanks Mike, I appreciate your feedback. Will do 👍🏻
I stopped having problems with my tenere when i got a lithium battery. They're pretty expensive but the electronic never showed any problems again.
That’s interesting. I love the Tenere, great machine. Thanks for dropping a comment 👍🏻
This problem is the same on ALL RE released after 2020(since the new J engine is out). A friend bought a Super Meteor three month ago, same glue white stuff in relays an the dealer had no idea about it! So we can imagine they don't read RE notices OR RE don't tell them?. What a shame for RE, trying to save money on that and create a problem themself. Saving bikes from sea salt is very nice but make it run on the road will be nicer...
It’s not the best is it. I’ve got a feeling every plug on the bike is going to be filled with this stuff too! I don’t want to look 🫣 Thanks for your comment
Fantastic explanation 🎉cheers.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks
