Hi Heiko, Thanks for watching, please refer to 12.04 - 12:52 will show you the wiring for the right side, its a simple kill switch power/ground and starter power/ground. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the appreciation!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching @_ITonRoad What are you expecting out of your machine, more torq or more top end speed? Also which gear your riding in most of the time as your commuting?

They are called out in the video. They are Bridgestone tires 140/70/18 rear and front is 110/90/18. Here is the link: www.jpcycles.com/product/bridgestone-battlax-bt46-sport-touring-tires?JP-PLA-Tires-PMax&Cj0KCQiA0fu5BhDQARIsAMXUBOIgSaQcAw4NCBHqr60TLnPTcJREDLoHs6KL7oYOhmy7VKDvGhSyH5QaAkOgEALw_wcB&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA0fu5BhDQARIsAMXUBOIgSaQcAw4NCBHqr60TLnPTcJREDLoHs6KL7oYOhmy7VKDvGhSyH5QaAkOgEALw_wcB

No loss of power in city or inclines, the sprocket is changed only by one teeth which does not impact the gear ratio much to feel the difference. This 650 motor is torqy and you will not feel the difference between a 15 or 16 teeth sprocket. No cons of this mod, only one I can think of is the chain needs be to adjusted correctly else the chain will wear out quickly.

@@GrewalsGarage thanks for the quick reply. I have a shotgun. Planning this mod.

Shotgun rear hub sprocket is different, it has 40 teeth I believe instead of 38 teeth as gt/interceptor. I would confirm the rear hub sprocket teeth count before updating front sprocket on shotgun650, that already is a cruiser style bike with a tune. The rpms drop will not be as significant for you! Hope this helps!

@@GrewalsGarage yes, rear has 40. All through I thought even the inty had 40. How would it be if I put 38 at back? Making it 16/38.

That would be too much of a hassle to get a drop in rpm. Specially if you’re not spending majority of time cruising on highway speeds. If your riding mostly in city traffic or such then more torq is preferred over top end speed.

If the chain set is wearing out then inspect all of these. 1. If the front sprocket was replaced then make sure the sprocket sits aligned on the shaft and flush against the case. Also confirm the sprocket bolt is torqued properly so it’s not loose. If the sprocket is not aligned properly that could be causing chain wear. And other issues. 2. If above is correct, then inspect proper chain slack (not too tight and not too loose). 3. Inspect the rear wheel hub sprocket teeth, they should not be shaved/broken. 4. Inspect the rear wheel alignment is straight, evenly tighten the chain tensioner bolts on both left/right side. If the rear wheel alignment is not done properly that could stretch the chain O-rings. 5. Inspect the chain itself, you should not be able to stretch the chain with hands. If the chain is bad, then you will need to replace the chain. Also lube the new chain once installed. Lmk, what you find!

I ended up creating a custom spacer plate to line up the holes as Rival4x4 didn’t respond.

thanks for the suggestion @sherkhan4727 I actually do not like the RD 350 handlebar as its has too much height which makes the classic/Bullet model look funny. I want the retro look such as G2 model handlebar which has no height and stays flat with the speedometer height. Like how Royal Enfield's came in 1950s.

Glad this video helps, hope you enjoy the new switches!

Thank you for your support @srikanthdonthi1 No need to change the throttle cable, the stock ones will work perfectly fine just need to reroute them outside of forks.

No acceleration did not take a hit with this upgrade. Since gear ratio does not change much by one teeth. Acceleration depends on the gearbox ratios, tire size, both front sprocket and rear chain sprocket.

The turn rear wheel trick works best in old single cylinder models as the stroke is longer and with an eye you can see the balance between close and open valves. It will be very tough to apply the same on the 650 as the rear will rotate quickly and you won’t be able to get exact TDC and both cylinders have different TDC so it’s best to rotate the crank precisely as shown for best results, hope this helps!

@@GrewalsGarage thank you so much ! From Rio de Janeiro, Brazil… appreciate a lot .👍🏻

Yes it does, thanks for catching that! Glad you liked the video!

Hi @johnnywadeson9335 I dont have the link on me, but you should be able to find these on amazon or local hardware stores, 9 slot plugs is what they are called.

I’m still using it, the gauge moves as the hot oil touch’s the stem part of the gauge, hopefully this answers the accuracy.

You can loosen the axle and move it forward a bit to increase the slack in chain then align the chain but evening tighten from both sides, hope this helps.

@@GrewalsGarage in my case the chain wasn’t long enough with the 16t sprocket on, even with the axel push all the way forward it was a bit to tight, putting the 15t back on has given the correct amount of slack back in the chain,

Thanks for sharing! INT650 is all rounder!

Yes RE classic handlebar claps are same.

Glad the video helped, both the kill switch and starter switch go bad on these plastic switches, check the plug in the headlight or the switch itself could be faulty. If it’s a short circuit then check wires under the tank if you removed the tank previously.

Thank you!

They the best, thanks for watching and hope your enjoying your 66' BSA 650 lightening!

Thanks for watching Steve! I'm glad I was able to refresh some of your memories with your mother, times have changed and things have too however I'm still an old soul at 27 years old with passion of old machines. A classic taste in music when music actually was made on instruments with talent unlike todays Artificial Intelligence tweaks. Thanks for listening and supporting!

Hey @journeytales23 I have not created a step by step video on this, as there are plenty of other videos out there but lmk if you would like to see a step by step.

Hi, 14 teeth is more for torq where on higher speeds the rpms will increase. I would recommend 14th teeth if you’re building your motorcycle as an off road/touring machine, with luggage, gear, mud terrain tires and climbing off road trails, somewhat like a scrambler. 14th teeth will give you the torq to climb those hills. Hope that helps!

@@GrewalsGarage i usually have fun with the finest 4 gears, redlining them. I think 14 teeth gives me more fun right?

If your referring to the 4 speed motorcycles, those have a different torq delivery. These 650 engines stock 15th teeth is more than capable to tackle any hills. I would recommend to consider what you want to use it for but yes 14th teeth will not hurt in anyways will give you more punch when launching and climbing will be torqy.

@@GrewalsGarage thanks a lot sir

thanks for watching @suchet25 the metal switches are both superb quality and functionality over the plastic switches. I would highly recommend the swap and these accessory mods make the bike more premium. Oh ya vlogging might be tough there due to roads and traffic, however there are some nice vloggers in mid to south India area that made tons of money off vlogging. I have not done vlogging yet, only informational videos however I might look into it.

Dhaliwal saab, grarian ta fer shoukeena diya hi fasaan giyan. Are you looking for more torq or high speed from your bike? If need more torq go with Himalayan 14th sprocket and if need more top end speed then swap to 16th sprocket. Baki jeh koyi detail question hoya, fer email kar leyo E: grewalsgarage@gmail.com Thoda bhout thanwaad subscribe teh support karan layi.

Here you go, accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/accessory-shop/Rectangular-Handlebar-End-Mirror/11597

They little tricky to install but doable, here is the install video th-cam.com/users/shortsyBoTjkepnV4?si=_-2zYwLt70cBeNHe

Even the new INT/GT models will have these SM switches going forward, so you might be stuck with these out of proportion switches if your planning on getting one of those bikes.

thanks for watching, yes you can reuse the stock switch wires but the length will be compromised when you do a full left to right turn. You will have to solder the wires for a good connection. If your also running a handlebar raiser then length can be an issue, I would recommend swapping the connects for a secure connection to avoid any short circuits. Hope this helps!

Thanks, will work on it!

thanks for watching, here is the link to the solo le pera seat. Its a great seat with a curve that keeps you within the seat specially when torq is applied. www.lepera.com/v4_spring_detail.php?SEATID=104 You will also need a swivel mount bracket that claps to the front of the seat. You can find one on amazon.

thanks for watching and supporting @The_redBaron glad the video was helpful!

@@GrewalsGarage welcome! If possible, please make a video on the left hand switch wiring, which you did after cutting the connector and replacing with the regular 9 pin connector.

Thanks for watching!

Hi, I've done this on my 2019 Interceptor as well. 1. The dangling ends needs to be connected to the front brake switch which is below the master cylinder. 2. You'll need to get the hazard flasher unit and wire it accordingly (part number RAC00135/B). You can use the Meteor 350's wiring diagram as reference.

@@ShashankKR Thanks Shashank, this is helpful.

thanks for the reply @ShashankKR @srinivaskirthy thanks for watching you can also use the same aftermarket hazard flasher unit that is available for classic model. The wiring process will be same. I have used one on my classic 500. Instead of the switch that comes with the hazard, you will have to hard wire with the super meteor switch. Here is the link: simtacauto.com/product/re-classic

@@GrewalsGarage Thanks!

Thanks for watching @blackskunk9034, the switches are great, checks all the boxes for me as far as looks and functionality. Only thing bugs me is the signal slide button as the clicking mechanism is tiny and so close as sometimes it’s hard to find neutral between left and right signal. I wish that button was little bigger. It takes some time to get used to them but will definitely not recommend these with winter thick gloves. Goal on this build for me is cafe racer look to make everything custom and slim, not everyday riding bike. And the clutch lever is not installed too far, this is not the final placement as it shows in the video, as I still had right side switch to tackle with throttle housing/grips and new levers as well. The levers should aline with the grips and should be inside of the handle bar length. Thanks for the feedback thou!

@@GrewalsGarage OK, thanks for coming back to me. I had a feeling the indicator switch would be a problem, such a shame. I will keep looking then, good luck

Thanks for watching, no complications while installing the super meteor switches, however the installation requires precision with wiring, drilling holes, and placement. You can watch the complete installation video as that will cover all the details. th-cam.com/video/2VCJEI-wATE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AOUC-WpnwUSXZFBI

@@GrewalsGarage ☺️ Thank u so much

Thanks for watching!! This kit was bought from Autologue designs! If your planning on buying the kit please watch the part 3 th-cam.com/video/2RS1WNGGpvY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MKtkkY0ykak6d7cP As I pointed out all the pros/cons!

Glad it worked out for you! 17T does loosen the chain a bit so be sure to adjust the chains slack accordingly to the diameter of the new sprocket.

The speedo won't be off because the pickup is on the front wheel. Changing sprockets won't do anything to throw the speedo off.

It was fun upgrading this beauty, Amit! Thank you!
