The previous 'After' test ride showed a fair improvement over how this machine performed in the 'Before' clip, but I felt the clutch still needed improvement and I wanted to try raising the throttle slide needle in the carb and with these attended to, obviously I needed to take another test ride. So, finally, we took the 15 mile loop I intended to take last time and there was no other traffic to hold things up. There was, however some rain, but that's only to be expected in summer, in Wales! The clutch is not perfect, but much improved and the performance is dramatically improved.

G'day Paul, your done a great job on the Royal Enfield Bullet, selecting neutral sometimes can be tricky on my bike, most times good sometimes forget it untill stopped, all in all not a big issue, the owner will still be pleased with the increased performance, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.

Hey Paul. You worked your magic once again and the bike seems to run like a top now. And a very good exhaust note. The owner will be pleased. Well done. Cheers, Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦

Well done Paul, it sounds like a different bike now, runs evenly and pulls strongly. Was wondering about those cheap trails tyres that the bike came with (bad reviews on wet roads) but you didn't seem to have any problems with them. Can't wait to ride it home (after we've exchanged pound notes of course) 🙂. Thanks for all your efforts (the owner)

My bike was similar for finding 1st, had good and bad days but then you have to wonder why they fitted a neutral finder.

How does that compare with the '55 on that same run? I was wondering what it was for. It seems well happy on those twisty main(ish) roads despite its trials looks..
@paulhenshaw4514
@paulhenshaw4514 Ай бұрын
The '55 Bullet would drag this one backwards - it is much more torquey and powerful than this one and it is in a standard state of tune. The gearing is similar on both, too.
