Heal toe on this bike is very fun to use. Like a gated shifter in a Ferrari it’s very classy set up. Wearing big boots is now not a problem. Great rumble super comfortable seat/ergonomics and smooth acceleration. This bike is under $4500 it doesn’t have to be perfect- it’s brilliant!!.

Hi afraid one design doesn’t fit all, I found the heal toe a nightmare, I therefore purchased the kit from Tec and what a revelation. My bike was a demo with 164 miles and had been loaded with extras The bigger foot pegs made it almost impossible for proper use of the gear linkage,I prefer the larger foot pegs as classy Purchased the kit used my boot as a sample for setting angle and distance. Road tested with a big grin as lovely gearbox and slick gear change . Thank you TEC first class guidance and top quality Applied light grease and lock tight plus added spring washers.

Thanks Del, I hope you are keeping well. Any new projects coming soon ?

@@TECBikeParts Yeah, we're fine, just pluggin through each day.. im about three quarters of the way through the Husqvarna now, so already thinking ahead to the next project.. not sure what yet, something basic and really customizable (is that a word?) I'm open to anything right now, just got to see what budget i can put to it and ill start looking at donors and options..!

@@Moonfleet41 How about a Meteor Del? There’s only two “proper” custom shops who’ve taken on the Meteor so far. With some Tec bike parts, and your fabrication and paint talent, you could make a fabulous bobber / cafe racer out of it....and we’d buy the parts you could pattern! Just at thought.

Thanks for the feedback, it helps us a lot.

We think we have a simple way round the speed limiter issue and once we have fully tested it out will do a how to video. but I want to fully check this out once we get some more power out of the motor , and will be later this year.

Exactly a tachometer or analog fuel gauge instead of the tripper would be awesome :)

Think filter+exhaust+tune... is a given to get power on stock bikes.. or at least delete the cat

Hi, Glad you are liking the cam in your Himalayan. I have yet to get a good look into the differences between the Meteor and new classic 350. My local dealer should be getting some in a couple of weeks. But my thoughts are I prefer the basic look of the Meteor to the classic. I just think the classic is trying a bit to hard to look like it was made in 1953. the added bonus is the Meteor is a good bit cheaper too. I am thinking about a hybrid of the two bikes with the bolt on lower sub frame of the new classic on a meteor so the pegs and levers are in a better position. watch this space.

@@TECBikeParts that sounds like a great idea. 👍

Hi I have just done the service and will get the video up ASAP

You can reset it yourself (good video on youtube on how to do it) and keep in touch with your dealer to get a map update when they have one.

@@TECBikeParts so now harm will be done to the engine?

@@thebikegeekandmore2448 if in any doubt get the RE dealer to read the fault code. but the issues we have seen are due to the ECU map not being able to work properly in cold climates during warm up cycle, and needs a small change to the map by the dealer to cure it. But not available yet I have heard. New models often have issues like this.

Yes, something we will look at, but at the moment we have problems keeping all the parts in stock at the same time. We hope 2022 will see the delays in getting materials improving.

From what I can see it is just another piggy back device and will not work with Euro5

Never mind my question above about the fuel booster plug. Since then I watched your video on the booster plug, and now I understand that it only enriches the mixture under acceleration (in open loop mode). Thank you for the very informative videos, and the effort you put into developing meaningful modifications for the 650 twins at reasonable prices!

Yes, we have fully tested the cam in the BS6/ Euro5 version

We think we have found a way round the speed limiter, but without more power it is hardly an issue at the moment. once we have fully tested it out we will make the info public.

@@georgemilburn6213 very interested and funds standing by. I bounce off that speed limited on my meteor and its soooo frustrating 😤 so ways round very verywelcome news 🤞👍

Whats the kml when its sitting at 105ish? Want one for motorway use here in nz but we only really have 100kmh motorways apart from one 110kmh section

I normally use black tape (see interceptor in garage ) not the car trim you are thinking of.

@@georgemilburn6213 The radiator looks like it was stolen from a tractor, shame as some of the bike looks pretty nice

@@georgemilburn6213 yes indeed,was thinking th,at plain simple electrical tape,shame it needs doing on a new bike though ahh well 🙂

I would highly appreciate your thoughts on this ...even though height is not at all an issue with me ..I can fully plant my feet on ground on the interceptor and still enough scope that I can stand still touching the ground owing to tall legs but I am personally a fan of motorcycles which are a bit low may be because I rode a cruiser for 15 years .

Thanks for the feedback, it is very useful to us. Yes, we are looking at a cover /rack for the rear seat, it is on my TO DO list.

@@georgemilburn6213 Hi George. Instead of a rack, maybe a new rear mudguard set up with wires out of view. Would look neater if no carrying capacity required. Just a thought.

Yes, bikes that run very lean will normally run better with an Iridum plug. the OE makers do not use them due to cost . They also last longer so dealers do not have to change them at service time.(less dealer profit)

@@georgemilburn6213 it's a pity that there isn't a iridium spark plug available for the Meteor 350 so I'm waiting not so patiently 😉

Is RE planning GT350 an 350cc version of Continental GT650

You could add linkage for the gearchange quite easily, brake not so simple. But we are waiting on looking at the new classic as you could use the lower sub frame and pegs as an alternative

Yes, but we will have to wait till we can get one

I second this!

Yes ,Powertronic have contacted me about these, but my request for technical info have yet to be responded to. I have not tested on as yet. BUT from the wiring connections, it can only work on the O2 sensor input. This is the same as putting an O2 sensor emulator in a Euro4 bike. They will probably have added a simple circuit to pulse the altered voltage to fool the ECU as you cannot use a fixed value eliminator on Euro5. We looked at this, but as it only works in closed loop mode, the benefits are very small and altering the O2 sensor input to run richer in closed loop will have a negative impact on fuel economy. The main area you need to run a richer air/fuel ratio is in open loop (during acceleration and coming off tick over ) a altered O2 signal will not effect this. it also has no effect on the ignition timing like the previous Euro4 powertronic system did. So again it will have little or no effect on power. What does Hitchcocks have to say about it ? as they do have a rolling road ! When we see a bike with one fitted and I have the time I will run one up for an air/fuel check and power test . I will not sell parts like this without testing them first and I am always very dubious of claims by any gadget maker who will not show the air/fuel and power data that I have not tested myself.

@@georgemilburn6213 Thanks George. I'll ask Hitchcocks if they have any test info

Yes basically the same bike, both have the new J type 350 motor fitted.

Do it now, you never know what is happening tomorrow. When it is too late you will regret it

Yes making them soon .

One would think so, I was thinking the exact same thing

I'm guessing that before long, plenty of upgrades will be available including billet controls with proper bearings, or use the originals as templates for machined alloy. The linkages would be simple to get or have made..job done..These bikes are a blank canvas for fabulous upgrades and are so popular, that an industry of improvement will follow

The whole bike is cheaply built, mate.

​@@ashpal1484 👎 Well put together IMO... Loving my Fireball Yellow. *Crap Game*

This is why UK bike makers had to stop making small capacity bikes in the late 60's/70's as they realized they cost almost as much to make as big bikes . The business model for making small bikes only works for high volumes combined with low labour rates. Hence why small bikes have to be designed with large volume markets like India first and adapted to the lower volume markets needs. But they will keep selling to us as they make a much better profit in Europe on each bike. these bikes are less than £2000 on the road in India , so around £1000 out the factory door before taxes, dealer profit and shipping.

figured it out with coming in from above,use of various washers and cardboard strips... .it always takes me several goes during which i give up😉

Sorry about the Jawa comments. But my only experience of them was my mate had one in the late 70's ,and me being a mechanic I was always having to fix it at the side of the road for him.

What you have to remember is it is not the OLD BSA selling these . All they have done is buy the name. This company has absolutely no connection to BSA heritage or past (unlike Royal Enfield )

Yes, I had heard about that. I understand that UK dealers are waiting on a new map also as they have had issues with bikes in cold weather putting a fault light on. Hopefully they will delete the speed limiter at the same time too.
