Thanks for the comment. I’m sure it will warm up soon…

It did need the DNA filter and silencer, but I like the difference. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for your feedback, Lee.

I saw that same video definitely not the way I’d like to try.

I hope so too

Glad you think so!

Yes. Definitely worth looking at what they’ve done in Brazil.

Now you're asking.... The one I bought had rubber both sides. I don't know what the difference is but I went for one from Hitchcocks.

Hitchcock are out of stock

ah...

Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for the comment. I don’t understand why Royal Enfield haven’t given their bike a little more performance for foreign markets like the UK.

I Totally agree with that as I know for a fact that during the first stage testing of the platform that it was running round capable of 90mph top speeds. so they know how to set an ecu up for that speed . which would give us an awesome touring capability being able to hold motorway speeds, with enough in reserve for any overtaking we would have to do.@@MotorcycleFettlers

Thanks for the feedback.

Wow, it's Bamber Gascoigne's vest.

Yes, We've done the first test rideout. Excellent performance from this upgrade, when combined with the DNA air filter. She now tops out at 77MPH. Before the new sprocket it was really buzzy but now with this fitted, it feels just right. I can overtake easier as the the power seems to be in the right place.

@@MotorcycleFettlers hello 77mph is speedo indicated or gps?

@@MotorcycleFettlers woow pls do a real test POV. Thank you!!!

@@ellwindaniel9441 On the speedo, so it will be a little slower that 77 but an improvement from the standard set-up.

@@Nordiclord We shall do a proper rideout

Top speed was 77mph (on the clock). Defintely worth doing if you want a little more from your Meteor and it's great fun doing it. The air filter is simple to change. You need to be a little more mechanically-minded if you want to change the sprocket and you needs some tools, including a torque wrench. For the sprocket, a second pair of hands is helpful.

Hi. I get an extra 5mph over standard. That's with all the mods...filter, spocket, and silencer. I think you need the other mods, if changing the sprocket. I do have a ride out video if you want to see how it performs.

Thanks for the comment. It makes a real difference.

With just a sprocket change one would expect an increase in mpg but as I've changed the air filter and tail pipe it's actually less mpg but still getting around 90+ so I'm quite happy

I've not made any further changes. I sometimes think about changing the camshaft...

Yes it does, but without the other mods that we've done, it will not pull 70.

We made a number of changes. Overall, the MPG is around 90 and we gained a couple of extra MPH, maybe. Overall, I prefer the profile of how it rides and the MPG is still good.

No, most certainly not!

Torque 130-160 N-m/13.0-16.0 kgf-m

@@MotorcycleFettlers Thanks 👍🏼

Desculpe, não tenho certeza do que você quer dizer.

I found that the mods I have made have increased the cruiser feel. When the DNA filter was fitted the bike seemed a lot more revvy and 1st and 2nd gears were very short, as in that you had to change very quickly, so I changed the sprocket and this gave a much more relax feel to the bike but I lost what little power I had at the top end. It wouldn't pull the top speed unless I was going down a slight slope. When I changed the tail pipe for a less restrictive one, the bike became lively again and will now pull a lot better and will pull on an upwards slope. The top speed has increased but not by much. It's only an extra 5 mph but it will cruise down a motorway at 65/70.

@@MotorcycleFettlers thanks a lot for quick reply - so you mean these sprocket are designed for linear torque ? And feels like classic 350? Which exhaust you have ? The air filter u changed to stock ?

The silencer is an original RE silencer, just more straight-through than the standard. We changedthe standard air filter to a DNA air filter. I hope this helps.

Shouldn't effect it as it's to do with wheel sizes.

Thanks for your feedback.

I believe it's rev-limited, so it does make a difference; especially with the DNA air filter. I'm more than ok with 70mph on something like this, but it's nice to have a little extra when you need it. It's surprising how many very low-mileage Metors are for sale, which a dealer told me is because a lot of people think that these just don't quite have enough go.

It has an engine RPM limit plus a speed limit set by the ABS ring pulse signal. Until someone brings out the bypass for that no amount of sprocket fiddling is going to give it more top end speed. I imagine RE know how to switch the limiter off but are holding back for later generations of this bike.

There's seems to be some discussions on whether or not it has a rev limiter, a speed limiter, or both, and how this may vary between countries. Hitchock's Motorcycles have said that it is not a speed limiter, when we asked. What I can say for sure is that, with the smaller front sprocket, it does record a higher top speed on the speedo.

@@MotorcycleFettlers If you watch the video Hitchcocks put out they do say there is both a rev limiter and a speed limiter and they are separate. I'm intrigued by you claiming that it has made a difference to top speed as the 3 I've done this to have not made any difference to top end, but have reduced the revs to a very comfortable pace at cruise.

Thanks for the comment. I shall have a look for the Hitchcock's video. That would be at odds with what I was told. The top speed difference that I have observed is not huge. I can only go by what I've observed whilst riding, and this may be subjective and condition dependent, but my overall impression is that these changes have made a useful and meaningful difference.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll get hold of standard Meteor soon and have a shootout. Subscribe and watch this space...

We hear so many conflicting and strong opinions on rev limited vs. ABS sensor vs. both. Whether the top-speed is higher, lower, or the same, it was never going to become a fast bike. With the sproket, DNA Air Filter, and exhuast, I'm much happy with the overal performance.

Oh yes those mods have made a big difference to my Meteor Too. I have just purchased an uprated camshaft from Hitchcocks I'll let you know what I think in due course. I don't particularly Want a speed machine but would like it if I could sustain long milages at a lower R.P.M. Apparently the new cam enables a smaller rear sprocket to be fitted ,although I guess that would reduce acceleration in lower gears, but with torque coming in lower down the rev range. I'll have to experiment and see what is most comfortable for touring and everyday use.@@MotorcycleFettlers

Thanks, Graham. Yes, please do let us know how you get on with the camshaft.

Thanks for the comment. We've changed this as part of a number of modifications including a DNA air filter and less-restrictive silencer. The proof is in doing it and we've done it and it makes a meaningful difference.

Thanks for the feedback. We do our best.
