- In this video we introduce you to our Royal Enfield Continental GT project bike and the upgrades we plan to do. We then we take the bike to HM Racing to get a baseline performance reading so we know what we're starting with.
Location is Dave's workshop, East Sussex, England, UK and HM Racing, Edenbridge, Kent, England, UK.

Absolutley fantastic dyno tuner! Very lucky to have this skill available to you
I've watched a few dyno videos of cars and bikes but this is the first one that really explained the problems arising from the euro regs.
Credit to you for producing this video. Thanks.
Nice video. Thanks for not cursing and blaspheming. Much appreciated!
I have a 2020 Interceptor. I fitted the DNA high flow air filter and lightweight 2 into 1 Tec SS exhaust system (amongst other things from Tec) and it responds brilliantly. For a little low revving twin she goes well. Some progressive front fork springs from Ikon improve the front end. Still not brilliant but OK considering the bad condition of local roads. Good luck with Conti
I believe that these bikes are specifically aimed for A2 license holders since the A2 limit is 48hp and these are clamed to have 47hp.. it's pretty convenient that they're so easy to tune and the starting power figure is so conveniently placed.
I personally am waiting to get my A-licence, not because I need it but once I'm doing it I'll just do the whole thing.
I live on a small island.. and from what other riders say is that a 650 is the idea size for the roads here. So quite frankly, anything larger is probably a waste. @@saikrishnathiwakarrk
Look forward to after results
Great review from HM racing was really interesting thanks guys 👍🏻 loving the bike looks great.
You guys are the real deal. Glad I found your channel. Thanks for all the work. I'm curious, if you make all the air changes and the motor runs richer and cooler, do you still use the OEM recommended valve gaps? Does fuel economy take a hit?
A great review of air/fuel ratios. It’s very important to run your Engine at a richer Air/fuel ration often. Of course in the old days of carbs we would just change jets, Needle positions etc. it’s an interesting subject area.
Impressive video. I'm watching with great interest. Ive had my Triumphs remapped/dyno tuned specific for their configuration. I'm very keen to see how the Fuel-X tuner performs on the dyno with the exhaust and air filter fitted (on the "todo" list for my GT650). I haven't found any dyno charts with Fuel-X results so, am eagerly awaiting your results. 👍🏼
I have same bike,pipe 12kg,yss rear shocks 1kg each,battery 4.3kg,remove anything not needed,my bike weighs around 200kg with full tank and goes a lot better
@@rover100bunson hy does it affect the mileage of the bike can you tell me
One aspect of fuel maps is the deliberate flattening of power mapped in at the exhaust drive-by speed used by the Euro emissions test standard. That quietens the exhaust just at that speed. Bit of a con-trick, really. It happens on bikes as well as cars.
Might pick one up at some point. All the add ons reduce the value so it's a win win. Not had EFi on a bike but mostly seems to work for cars.
You gotta get a grip on that pulse width modulation to tune this new stuff! I will be keeping my audio screw driver, thank you very much!👍🤣
I have just done a ecu flash and added power commander with auto tune. Have to disagree with the Dyno man. Autotune will update your map for the riding conditions you are in all the time versus the Dyno is optimized only for one set of conditions. I do have Dyno maps for the ecu and pc to get the bike into a useable map quickly and then auto tune keeps adjusting.
Any chance you could dyno it with pipes + DNA air filter mods without the tuner? I've wondered for a while if making it flow more air without a tune would lean it out to a dangerous level, one of the reasons I haven't upgraded the filter on mine to keep it restricted.
Tbh it makes more sense to spend your money on a good tuner, without the mentioned hardware (airfilter and exhaust) than the other way around.
We have this question every day… and see the results every day of bikes with hardware tunes, performing bad (because the real issues are not solved and most of the time even made more worse) because for a lot of people spending on hardware, ordering and fitting it, feels better than a dyno tune…… 😂. bikes are made for riding aren’t they?
If it’s a 2021 bike it ought to be Euro 4.
yea, I have a North American '22 and it's euro4
When the dyno guy says these modern euro 4 and 5 bikes run very lean......its that a worry for the reliability of the motor....ie burnt valves pistons.....should we worry.
Getting good enough petrol is a problem. The "E" fuels burn cooler; less HP, so that is both blessing and curse. In the states, we can get ethanol-free fuel, but at a price. All of these regulations are imposing artificial controls on a natural process. Some trouble is bound to ensue.
@@HAL9000-su1mz Yeah, I exclusively run E5 petrol because I’ve had issues before with E10.
Plus higher ethanol content means more crops are earmarked for fuel not food, which is pretty bad now with Ukraine struggling with their wheat harvest.
@@HALLish-jl5mo The unintended consequences of best intentions...
Here are some facts. All Royal Enfield products are underperforming and have many weaknesses. You pay for what you get. Royal Enfield fit and finish is complete garbage. That has been my experience. Cheap pos to ride to work on.
So you have ridden a Interceptor/Continental for some time/ many miles? Or are you commenting on older models, that could well have been well worn when you experienced them?
@martinowl brand new interceptor, gta, & classic 350. Few thousand miles each, over the course of around 2 years. Some of the worst buyers remorse ever for me.
