- In this episode James from Bolton Motorcycles is going to fit all the parts that TEC has provided with some nice extras such as an aftermarket exhaust with removable baffle. What an incredible sound this little single cylinder engine makes!
Huge thanks to Tec Bike Parts for sponsoring this season and for sending us most of the parts you'll see in this video.

I'm happy with the exhaust mine came with 😁😁
You won't be when you see how bread the bread box rusts. What a pile of rusty scrap metal mine was. The best thing I ever did to my Meteor was the replace it.
The reason why people make their bikes a bit loud , is safety . You often need to be heard to be seen , modern cars are so quiet inside , distractions while driving , radios , phones , and occupants . Bikers need to be a tad loud to compensate for drivers not paying attention. Nice machine , cheers .
The problem is, is that because newer cars are so well-insulated, drivers rarely hear bikes at all, whether they're loud or not, so louder pipes don't save lives at all, they just make non-bikers more belligerent.
Problem is, that this silencer is not e-marked. its an fully illegal bike for european streets
@@derfailer3434 they are not legal anywhere , but motorcyclist do not care about that small infraction , we want to be seen , heard , and happen to like the sound . Remember , loud stereos are illegal as well while driving . It is what it is .
most is do is piss people off. Me included
Perfect justification to misses why you need to change the exhaust.... does anyone have any other safety justifications for any other mods... asking for a friend
After 20 days ownership it's a good bike
Sounds awesome great job sir
Beautiful
Sounds lovely, was wondering if there were any performance parts for these 👍🇬🇧
Please adjust your clutch lever - If the rear wheel is rotating when the vehicle is in neutral and the clutch disengaged, it may potentially mean that the clutch level possibly needs a bit of more play.
Why did you use exhaust wrap, completely spoilt the look of the bike.
Is it making that popping noise because you removed that baffle? I love the sound of the new exhaust but that popping noise I don’t like, it sounds like a cars backfire
Does TEC have a cam coming for the 350? 20 rwhp would be enough.
Acabei de comprar uma aqui no Brasil 👍🏻🇧🇷
I'm very interested in moving the controls forward about 4 to 5 inches to have real forward controls.
How did you remove the baffle? mine is extremely tight i cant even move it.
Technicians know their way around this stuff. I'm just a simple videographer 😅
Nice additions overall, but why take a pleasingly quiet bike and turn it into an annoyingly loud one? Fine if you live on a deserted island, but otherwise it'll just bother the neighbours.
Very good question! As you can see we took the baffle our just for the purpose of this video and build. But with the baffle in place the sound isn't as loud 👍
that is annoyingly loud to you?
lmao
@@leeonardodienfield402 i think he like v4s
Anything that annoys my neighbours is good for me
Bore off
Nice exhaust sound, possible tonorder it in EU???
Unfortunately they don't make this exhaust anymore. A real shame!
Got a question for you, please? At minute 2:50 the red electrical connectors you're using to adapt the new LED indicators to the existing harness, what are they and where did you get them? I also have a Meteor that I've been upgrading the electrics on, and sourcing those connectors to mate aftermarket parts is a real issue, they seem to be specific to Royal Enfield (also on Himalayan)!
We got everything supplied by Tec here: www.tecbikeparts.com/
@@gmmotomedia Thanks, but I looked, they unfortunately don't list them for sale specifically. Instead they sell a "Universal Wiring Adaptor" kit, to patch in 3.5mm bullet connectors. Which is what I wound up doing myself! Hitchcock's does sell these odd little 2-pin connectors, BTW. It's still very annoying, for a basic bike why did they use all these odd proprietary electrical parts on the wiring harness? Which then seems to vary between production years!
Exhaust sounds like it’s blowing, not for me
Exhaust name pls 🥺
That exhaust popping noise bad for the bike? I have done something similar to my bike and its making a similar noise and has me worrying
It's definitely too lean and will require a remap 👍
@@gmmotomedia is it bad to leave it? Or should I get it done ASAP?
@@gmmotomedia Just fit a Fuel X unit to fix that problem.
Does removing db killer affect the economy? And will this improve the performance
The air to fuel ratio will change unless you get your bike remapped you will likely see a change in both fuel economy and performance (probably for the worst).
@@gmmotomedia thanks for the honesty, mate. Always have and always will appreciate and support honest people.
@@gmmotomedia Not so ! The euro 5 regulations state that all new bikes are fitted with an ECU that learns the changes made to air intake and exhaust. this is simply to future proof those bikes that may need replacement parts that may well become hard to find years down the line. Making having to fit pattern parts from third party manufacturers the only option. So all I had to do when fitting open exhaust and free flow air filter was start her up and let her idle for about 5 mins. No change in fuel economy but major improvement in real world mid range power. Next step is to go with Larger sprocket to make her rev less at given throttle openings. These are never going to be fast bikes but the torque is what it is all about with these little belters.
I have seen it first hand on the dyno. After the ECU reprogrammed it actually made the bike run worse. After the remap it ran properly again. This is another example where in theory manufacturers can state whatever they want but in reality it's almost never the case.
Why is it smoking so much..?
How you did that...? changed in silencer..what part is that...?
It's a Hitcocks part that's not available anymore on their website. I'm sure there's plenty more out there now 👍
Prefer the original myself!
Does this change affect the bike's milege?
I would imagine there will be a slight change in performance and economy 👍
@@gmmotomedia is it better or a bit worse
This bike is extremely extremely, extremely under power.
You comment is extremely extremely meaningless. These are fantastic bikes, and it you need a big bike to make you feel all manly, there are plenty to choose from.
This bike is for people who like to ride and smile...
Ride Safe 🙏🏼

@@scottboettcher facts brother
I've had a meteor for a year and I can tell you that it's perfectly adequate. I strapped on my tent and backpack, tank bag and saddlebags and went camping and it hauled it all just fine at 65 mph.
