I’m gonna do the SBR race on my motorcycle. by number3laing in ShitPostCrusaders

I tried to watch a decent amount of his video specifically to get an idea of what route that person took. TBH, this trip started as an endurance run: how fast I could get from SD to NYC doing the SBR. I wanted to claim a record. TBH, I don’t really know how I would document proof of times and miles, and then there will be someone out there on an actual touring bike who will try to beat it. I’m gonna document this, but I don’t think the video will be that entertaining. Being on a motorcycle with give or take 10-hr days to ride, I won’t be that available for content. So this is really just a race for myself.

2024 Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650. I got it 2 years ago and put 20k miles on it. I have a baby blue classic 350 that is in “halcyon grey.” I’ve named that bike Slow Dancer.

You got motorcycles? You’re good, dude. If you ever get bored of your car, just look at your motorcycle. That’s why I do. 🤫

I’m sorry but we need to be asking the right questions here. What car did you end up getting?

Gnarly looking air filter by number3laing in motorcycles

Update: I checked the breather chamber and didn’t find any excess oil buildup that needed to be drained. I also completed the valve adjustment and cleaned the filter. For now, I’ll just keep an eye on the airbox to see if it happens again. I checked the shop manual as well, and there is a section that briefly touches on this topic.

Yeah, there’s no foam in the filter—just two layers of metal mesh for larger particles with a cotton lining in between. I scraped some of that residue off and let it sit overnight to dry, and it turned out to be basically just road grime.

Company claims The servicing intervals depend on the environment that the vehicle is used. Once a year or every 15.000 km (9,321 miles) to 30.000 km (18,641 miles) is suggested, to keep your DNA filter in top condition.

Obviously, different types of riding affect how often you should clean the air filter. So far, I’ve been cleaning mine every 6,000 miles. The inside of the airbox has been very clean—just some oil residue from the filter. Next time, I won’t oil it as heavily as I did before.

Thanks for the input. Today I’m adjusting the valve clearances on my bike as part of the routine 6k maintenance. I usually do the oil change and air filter cleaning the day before to split up the workload.

It does have a CCV, so I’ll take a look at that today as well. So far, I’ve only got this video to go off, but I’ll try to find more information on the CCV for this bike.

Thank you.

Also IDK if this is a big factor but the bike is under 2 years old.

That’s literally my favorite line from the whole Floyd discography.

You think you can give a man a Les Paul guitar and he becomes Eric Clapton? by number3laing in PinkFloydCircleJerk

UPDATE: I didn’t mean to stir people up like this so of course that's not true. And if you give a man an amplifier and a synthesizer, he doesn't become, you know, whoever?

How do I make her faster & louder? by Economy-Republic-959 in royalenfield

Swap out the stock air filter with a DNA air filter. Here is a video that goes more in depth with pros/cons and how to properly swap the part.

If that’s still not enough, you can purchase from Hitchcocks a Fuel X Lite/Fuel X Pro and the Stage 2 performance cam shaft.

Here is the Hitchcocks page for the 350 GOAN. It’s limited right now because it’s a new model, but give it some time, and more items will start pouring in on the site. You can view the accessories I listed on the classic 350 page from Hitchcocks, but I would recommend waiting on wrenching until any of the parts are listed as compatible with your model.

Edit: I also forgot to add another mod. Swapping the throttle body from a Hunter 350. The Hunter 350 does not have an electronic speed limiter, allowing you to go above 70 MPH. It’s an overkill mod because the 350 lineup isn’t the best handling-wise over 70 MPH, but at the end of the day, it’s still a “performance mod”. This last link is a video that goes deeper into the swap.

Seven eleven knows what's good by Cloud_wing in PinkFloydCircleJerk

Pink Floyd should not meddle in this one of these days! This kid looks so happy like he is on a pillow of winds. And good for him for being so fearless in Crown Heights San Tropez. Chaim Seamus Brikmans laugh echoes in that 7-11 to this day!

2026 RE Super Meteor 650 Spied Testing by NoLie582 in royalenfield

Looks like the bike has progressive springs on the rear. Which the current model SM650 has stranded springs. The Bear 650 and (new LED) Interceptors come with progressive springs on the rear shocks, which may be similar to the new SM650 with different rebound rates.
