Interesting and educational with a timely reminder that "DIY" ( Do It Yourself) may also mean "Destroy It Yourself" and a Pro workshop can be less expensive in the long run.
I really love these videos, no one else on youtube goes into as much detail as you guys, and your visual examples are amazing. As someone who has just bought one of these bikes, you're literally explaining the internals of it for me! Thanks guys!
Another very interesting in depth video , I have never heard any thing like this in years , Bill Bud back in the 1960 ,s at our youth club who use to come in and teach motor cycle tune ups .I think he was an ex TT I.O.M. ENGINEER . Not forgetting Marsh and Fry in our town who raced at the TT . Brings back sad memories of my late dads R.E 500 twin that blew the engine twice and was relergated to the roof in our bungalow for about 12 years ,before being sold as parts to fund my first bike . Keep it up and thanks for the education of old days passed .
My RE mechanic quoted me $195 to install my cam. I find you data interesting and a lot has been learned about these cams since. Stock bike, I am seeing 50 hp with these cams and a tuner. 55 with a stage 2 cam.
Since I just picked up my 2021 Interceptor 650 3 weeks ago and love it , I have since changed out the exhaust I can feel the engine wants more , air filter next , a K&N probably , cheaper here in Perth . Thanks guys for your channel , its what Australia needs as these bikes are awesome and very popular . ps. I am an engine builder at home ( Mopar ) and a Fitter welder by trade , so yes the S&S cam shaft is on the cards .
Commendable presentation and enthusiasm with loads of real information 👍 (knowing the information shared isn't limited to RE interceptors only, it's applicable in other models/makes too)
Just subscribed & really enjoying your fun nature, knowledge, expertise & appreciate your time. Next time I’m in Sydney, I think I’ll pass by. All the best for Christmas & the New Year! Keep up your great work!👌💯🏍🚀
I've put cams in other bikes, but when I realized some time ago that you have to change the spring shims on this one, and probably while your at it do porting , (since it should be removed) unless you use the compressed air technique, I decided not to for go that mod since I don't have a shop any more and live in the provinces of the Philippines. (that just means I can't just run out and get parts easily) . Great reality check for those inexperienced would be do it yourself types, and you make a valid point to seek professional help on this kind of mod for the RE.
you explained the stock and modified setup perfectly at the end there. great job, my 650 Intercepter is getting slip-ons, BMC filter, Powertronics ECU but now l wanna get the cams done too!! lol
Love your videos and all the informations about the 650 interceptor :D Im struggling on what to do, my first thought was to stay with the stock...now im dreaming of the S&S camshaft and new set of exhaust..the big bore kit would be awesome but illegal in italy LoL XD But i think 6to8% HP will give a nice funny push to my Indie, and that's all for me. Greetings from Sicily :D
I really liked your video, congratulations on the content. I intend to change the pistons of my royal to an 11:1 high compression one and I also intend to install a the camshafts. Is it necessary to install a stronger connecting rod like the forged S&S connecting rod?
Enjoy your presentations...Its a pity there are no folk like yourselves up here in Brisbane. Would like to go the 650 HC slugs , cam and tuner road, but I seem to hit a blank wall with dealers up here. Ive just spent the kids inheritance on suspension, so I'm now comfortable going a bit quicker in the hills.
@@RevelryCycles Please help me, i had a RPM problem on my 650 twins, when i start my bike the rpm goes increase and decrease up and down..what will be the issue of my problem...
@@robertzcolney6506 We are not going to diagnose motorcycle issues on RUclips comments. If you have an issue you need to take it to a qualified technician and have it properly diagnosed and repaired. If you’re in Australia and would like us to do this for you I’d be happy to book an appointment for you in our workshop.
I am excited to see 965. Very informative video and feels good to see you guys assembling an engine . Requesting you guys if you can develop and accommodate a turbo. I am interesting to know the modification required to build a 650 with a turbo.
@Revelry Cycles - Thanks for the great video, really enjoying your knowledge sharing. I think a lot of people like myself really want to know more about how their motorcyles work. Does the S&S cam make the bike sound any different? Cheers!
Maybe worth mentioning the tradeoffs (negatives) for the mods - How much they affect emissions, fuel consumption and noise? Right, I've pinned the accent - Dennis Weaver (McCloud).
Still enthralling stuff guys - when do you start pondering bigger/additional braking in this journey of increased power...... or am I getting ahead of myself..???
If one was going to go to the bother of the dismantling involved in fitting the cam, is it a case of you may as well do the high-compression pistons while you're at it?
great series of vids peeps. i hope the public appreciates the time and effort you two put into the videos. can i swap you a toasted vegemite sandwich for a ......... kit :-) (sorry) well done, love your work !
Hi good job! I am thinking to swap my cam to a stage 1,and I like to know the power gains with dynojet comand, and free-flowing exh. do you have any data on this? I did see on stage 2 one that performance around 55 hp on wheel. Thanks in advance
Hey Jeff (Santina here) I grew up in Northern NV, I know Reno well. Can do a crate motor but it’s pretty cost prohibitive. If you’re seriously considering it please email info@revelrycycles.com.au
This is the only place on the internet I have found any amount of stock cam specs. You guys wouldn't happen to have the duration specs on hand would you?
I just installed the s and s camshaft for my interceptor 650...i have already installed it with a dna airfilter, mufflers, powertronics piggyback ecu and a quickshifter. The bike now has a big idling problem when the engine is hot. Whenever i try to crank the engine it just struggles to start and quickly dies but the problem is not present at cold starts .The low end is also unusally jerky and jittery...but the bike pulls clean after 4k rpm.I am currently using a fuel map for the s and s mufflers and cam with air cleaners...i dont seem to understand what the real issue is.....any advice would be grateful
My guess is you'll swap out the stock crank for one having an approximately 4mm longer throw (8mm longer stroke) and use the 865 90mm bore to a get your 965?
My first time here. Brillant video! I like stock original and not interested in going for more power unless it translates into better gas mileage and longer engine life. Do you have numbers on gas mileage? Just finishing a ten week 5,000 mile trip and I Love My Royal Enfield INT 650!! Thanks for what you are doing.
Hello I'm planning to install s&s cam on interceptor 650, I already have installed slip-on, DNA air filter, and powertronic piggyback ECU. If I install S&S camshaft with these already installed, do I need to install any custom map on the powertronic ECU or stock powertronic ECU maps will do the job? I asked several leads I had but it is of no use.
The default map that comes with the powertronic will generally suffice. It will almost certainly run just fine. Of course to get the best performance you'll need to tune each bike, preferably on a dyno.
@@RevelryCycles I've installed the s and s cams along with the dna airfilters and mufflers with the powertronic piggyback ecu and quickshifters.The bike is now having a major idle problem when the engine is heated,when i crank the engine the engine it struggles to start and quickly dies... also there is a lot of jerkiness and jitters at the low end.I cant really find what the problem is actually......any advice would be great
I know enough about this stuff to appreciate the logical sequence of episodes, the level of detail including the props and hands on demonstrations that I appreciate the quality and value of what you are doing. You do need to work on developing proper Aussie accents though! well done!
Do you sell the drag pipes that are on the enfield behind you in the video ???? If so ,how much ????........Excellent video (yeah i know,...stop creeping!!!!) See you later, take care on the road 👍👍👍
Thanks for another great video. However, I wonder if you might turn your attention to the audio. It's not up to the high standards you hold on other aspects of your presentations.
Thank you for the gentle suggestion. You are not the first to mention it Mr T. We've had a bad run with mics and have today got a fancy new one for this weeks video. Fingers crossed it behaves and you'll be able to hear the melodious sounds of our voices. :-)

At 4:38 - are the timing specs for stock cam or S&S cam?

really awesome videos!! you guys really answer all the questions I would really want to ask
@Revelry Cycles - Thanks for the great video, really enjoying your knowledge sharing. I think a lot of people like myself really want to know more about how their motorcyles work. Does the S&S cam make the bike sound any different? Cheers!
Yes. There is a bit of added lope at idle. If you add compression it changes it further as it revs much quicker
Maybe worth mentioning the tradeoffs (negatives) for the mods - How much they affect emissions, fuel consumption and noise?
Right, I've pinned the accent - Dennis Weaver (McCloud).
Still enthralling stuff guys - when do you start pondering bigger/additional braking in this journey of increased power...... or am I getting ahead of myself..???

Gracias por la explicación. Una consulta, si se cambia el árbol de levas es necesario reprogramar la ECU para qué haya más combustible?
Saludos
Yes
No new videos coming up on the 965 that you mentioned?
Really nice videos keep it up👍👍
If one was going to go to the bother of the dismantling involved in fitting the cam, is it a case of you may as well do the high-compression pistons while you're at it?
That would be more efficient than opening it up twice.

Thanks Peter! Love your enthusiasm and appreciate the feedback :-D
I love your videos! I hope to get a continental GT soon! Why haven’t y’all uploaded in the last year if I may ask?
That motors ideal for twin turbos!
⏳Waiting for one......
Great Content
Thanks!
What is the cost of improved camshaft
Guys great video, what please are the HP and torque ratings for the upgraded cam and High Compression pistons
Will retarding cam timing by 2 Degrees on stock pistons still move the power band closer to redline?
Thanks for your work.
Great videos, very informative. If you don't want to go a big bore kit, what do you guys think are the best high compression pistons to get?

This is the only place on the internet I have found any amount of stock cam specs. You guys wouldn't happen to have the duration specs on hand would you?
Hi , nice detailed info. Would we need to upgrade the springs for reliability, with a higher lift cam. Or would the shims take care of it
Unless you're expecting to go WELL out beyond the stock rev limit, the shims supplied with the kit are plenty.
WOW for the shock......
hello, could you please measure someway the stock cam's duration and timing?
It's right there in the video mate. 4 minutes 27 seconds in.

what about the engine heating in 865 comparing with stock??
Don’t get ahead of the episodes Hank 😂 all in good time

YES ! vous avez raison
very informative really like your videos.but if someone has access to tools required then removing the head is not necessary
It says that in the video, but we had to make the tool. ruclips.net/video/97arnlpiJe4/видео.htmlsi=Ih4F8KIsFjgjlIQL&t=491
