The Vulcan S has so much going for it. Apart from that head light 👌😂🙏

Ha ha. What do you ride that's better then?

The touring seat on its own is KXA00253 The back rest with touring seat is KXQ00036 🙏

Thanks for watching and taking note. Sadly a lot of owners sell very quickly because of this. But it can be solved. 👌🙏

Fuel economy? I would say yes. Firstly more airflow means using more gas I think. Secondly people tend to Rev it more to hear the noise 😂👌🙏

Thanks! It was a fun trip! 🙏

Correct yes. But I find the ride on the rear very hard, so choose 34, which will eventually turn to 36 as the rear tyre heats up. 🙏

As far as I am aware, there are only 2 different sizes of drain plug washer. It takes the larger size similar to Honda. Sorry I don’t have exact sizes. As for oil filter I only have an aftermarket Thai manufacture. Brand is FULL. The filter is the Razer part number FR-RE001. Hopefully you can cross reference it somehow 🙏

It is important. I’m 95% sure over tightening was the cause here. 🙏

I am very excited to ride and review this bike. Sadly CFmoto does not exist in Thailand anymore. The franchise did not survive Covid lock downs here in Thailand. But I do hope they manage to return. I return to the UK for a few months in March. The CLC 450 is right up there on the top of the list to get my hands on, 🙏

Thank you. Have you decided on a model? All the best 🙏

⁠​⁠@@Teacher-T-ThailandI’m a new rider and just off my learners, RE Meteor 650 cruiser, it’ll be my first bike to own, I’m just looking at all the costs on top to modify as I’d need comfort to enjoy my ride…. I found your channel cos was looking at the RE cruiser

Thank you for the reviews🌟🌻

@ nice. Thanks. Rear suspension I would recommend as first mod, as and when you can afford it. Ride safe 🙏

@ Oml I’ve just watched your RUclips on the RE shotgun 650 it’s a beauty tho doesn’t look as relaxing as the cruiser

I’m 5ft 8. And shirt inside leg of 28 inches 😂👌🙏

@ ok I’m the same height, good to know….

6ft too tall? I find that herd too believe. I’ve seen people over 6ft ride them no problem. I am only 5ft 8 and do struggle to flat foot the bike. 👌🙏

@@Teacher-T-Thailand thanks T. Yes quick rides are fine but the longer ones I'm starting to get sore from slumping. I'm trading in for the Bear

I'm 6'3" and I had no problems riding on Teacher Ts SM 650! Very comfortable ride!

@@scottbieber1731 how long did you ride for? Stock seat , shocks and bars?

Welcome. Here it’s called Ceramasille. Most lubricants are petroleum based, which in time destroys rubber. This is safe for brakes, as it doesn’t attack the rubber boot parts. 🙏

@@Teacher-T-Thailand perfect, thank you again.

Ha ha, no. This was filmed in March 2024. However I am returning to UK for a few months in March 2025. I’m hoping to get a few more reviews in then also 🙏

Yes I do. All on my lonesome. Learning new techniques every day 👌🙏

Very quiet when new. But a year on a bit more noise 😂👌🙏

Yes it’s a gel touring seat from Sahara seats in India. I can ride 8 hours a day no problem with this seat 👌🙏

A little bit different. Hope you can get out riding soon 👌😂🙏

Me too 👌😂🙏

Ha ha. Sahara seats from India. Video link in video description 🙏

Thanks very much. I started my Royal Enfield journey on a Meteor 350. Owned it for 2 years and put 20,000 km on it. Lovely bike. But I could not resist the 650. I regret selling the 350 though 👌🙏

Adding 1 more tooth to the front sprocket for the chain is my equivalent on my belt drive ratio. It lowers the revs of the bike at higher speeds. I think the original chain sprocket is 15 teeth. Hitchcocks motorcycles from UK sell one with 16 teeth I believe. They also now are the main distributor for the RS Tech belt drive kits 🙏

@Teacher-T-Thailand Excellent explanation 👏 At your current belt (= 16 tooth for chain system), would you have wish to have 17-tooth equivalent? To have a more leisure engine speed at cruising speed. You answer would help me. Tks!

That’s great Les. Yes night and day, as I said in my review video of the Hagon shocks. My original exhausts have definitely got louder with age. But they too will be swapped out one day. All the best to you 👌🙏

​I gotta say if only there were roads that quite to ride along in Britain, I'd think I would have died and gone to heaven especially with that scenery! 👃🥰

❤️👌🙏

The old Covid again. Can’t talk again. The joys of being a teacher 😂🙏

I'd just love to be able to ride roads that quite in the UK! Like going to heaven isn't it?

@ kind of, if it wasn’t for the constant bumps. I hope you saw that also. Hence the Hagons 👌😂🙏

Thanks we chose the Sahara seats in the end for our long tour. 🙏

If you watch this video from 2.30 we have another discussion about the Sahara seats 🙏 ruclips.net/video/jbl1nXoPhKc/видео.htmlsi=JuY-Z6UE9etDJaUx

I bought and fitted Hagon aftermarket shocks Meteor 650 suspension upgrade. Hagon Shocks - Are they any good? ruclips.net/video/1h1J09k1xww/видео.html

Thanks for the feedback, I am still learning about video editing and thumbnails, but I am always open to suggestions! 🙏

maybe it's still new and being run in, after the temperature will be lower

I am still on original exhausts. The heat will drop after your first oil change at 500km. The engine is very tight when new, and a lot of friction. In time the pistons will run smoother, and less heat. Now at 15,000 km by bike is running a lot cooler. Like you, I was alarmed at first. But trust me it will pass. Congratulations on the new Meteor. But please take your suspension preload off setting 1 and put it to 2 or 3 to save your back 🙏

@@Teacher-T-Thailand Thank you for your detailed answer, do you mean to make the shock absorbers softer so that the suspension becomes more comfortable?

@@Teacher-T-Thailand maybe you have a video about adjusting the shock absorber?

​@@iluaghostrider6092It doesn't make it softer, but will stop to sudden jolts on big bumps in the road 🙏

I will check in the morning for you. I still have the touring seat in the garage 🙏

This video explains what’s happening

Not really. These RE shocks don't really work with SAG. It's hit and miss. A shock designed to fit all weights. For some they are ok. For most they are not.

Sadly the expedition saddle bags were especially designed for the Meteor 650. However they will fit the Shotgun 650 and hopefully the new Classic 650. However Trip Machine Company do make many styles of universal saddle bags. Just check out their website. They also have many distributors world wide. 🙏

I feel and shared your disappointment. I too went down the route of trying to lower tyre pressures. Sadly it doesn’t work. It just makes the bike less controllable going over ridges in the road. Just in case you have not seen it I recommend my video here : ruclips.net/video/DVMdhrHC2tM/видео.htmlsi=N68UuUvDY4WJRNOX From show room the preload is set at 1. It needs to be minimum of 3 to be honest. On 1 it’s so soft, the unit has no travel left on big bumps, is you get a hard jolt. I too didn’t want to buy after market shocks. I struggled for 6 months with the originals. In the end I gave up. And wished I had changed them before. But please adjust your preload. It will help 🙏

Just by screwing them tighter solved the issue. I just forgot in my rush to fit the seat 👌🙏

@ Tell me please, I ordered Sahara seats like yours, will the passenger be more comfortable than on the factory, standard seat? I understand, for the driver Sahara is definitely better.

@iluaghostrider6092 yes it will be, but not if you have the RE genuine back rest fitted underneath. There are no rubber buffers like this which causes vibration. If you use a different back rest that bolts on the sides it's ok. The seat then can use the rubber buffers. My my loved it and survived 2,400 km on the Sahara seats.

👌😂🙏

That’s great to hear, thank you. 3 great bikes does make it difficult. 🙏

Thanks. Yep, than 20mm lower makes such a difference. And doesn’t affect the handling. 🙏

@@Teacher-T-Thailand Is your centre stand still usable with the lower height?

@ yes. I just reverse the rear wheel onto a 200mm wooden wedge. Then bike is normal height and can use centre stand 🙏

The 350 was a very very good bike. Still miss it 😂🙏

Thanks. Yes a very handy man bag 😂👌🙏

You are spoilt for choice of bikes in the UK. He models take longer to arrive, and not all brands present. Like CF Moto. I’m looking forward to reviewing the CF Moto SL 400 c when I return in a couple of months time. Nice low cruiser with belt drive fitted. 🙏

I agree with you. I was a little disappointed also after upgrading from the 350. I can help sorry, but I’m sure I’ve seen someone put a Pringle lid on the speed and it fitted 🤪😂🙏

@ really?? I’ll try it! Keep traveling!

Thanks. My 11 year old students like to trip me up when I spell something wrong on the whiteboard 😂 I’m looking forward to comparing the pads to the organic ones. One week on the new Brembo, no different to the originals (which were RE Brembo). Just cheaper to buy, which is the crazy thing. Thanks for the support 👌🙏

Yup 66 years old and still trying to trip up the teacher!

On my rear this was the case. On the front not so much. I couldn’t get any copper grease in my town. Did you put it on the rear of the heat shield, or between the rear of the heat shield and pad?

At the moment I am finding no difference from the originals. Not better. Not worse. But cheaper to buy than the original RE ones. 🙏

What a great Birthday present. Life begins at 40 👌 Yes to keep your warranty you should if possible get your first service done at RE. The service is normally free. You just pay for the oil and filter. 🙏

Very good question. Yes the Himalayan rear pads survived out 2,400km tour of Thailand. 6,000 km on them now and they are still good. Maybe not as much grip as the originals, but now we have established 70% braking on the front and 30% on the rear, they function ok for this purpose 🙏

@@Teacher-T-Thailand Thanks a lot! I’ll use the same formula
