I don't usually make comments on RUclips but having just viewed your apology vid, thought I ought to re this very helpful one on Winter Prep. I am mechanically able and have checked and adjusted the valves on my Inty 650. The dealer didn't check them on 1st service so I did them myself. The point is this, I could not have got the brake pads out to check as the pin was so tight and so I had given up until I found your video. I just needed someone to show me how and your extremely well filmed and calm voice explaining the process gave me the encouragement to have another go. The rear was awkward due to upswept exhaust so close to to able to tap the pin out without risk of scratching the chrome. It was a pig to remove and probably would be easier if silencer was removed. So thank you again for this upload. All the best for your future projects.
That's so nice to hear and makes it totally worth it
You are producing some of the best diy motorcycle videos available. As an automotive engineer for almost fifty years I have started to recommend that apprentices watch them. As Royal Enfield bikes are becoming more popular than ever these videos are a must for all diy folk who own one. Many thanks for your efforts. 👍
Chris, thank you so much, comments like these keep me going. Wish I had a garage then I can make them more frequently!
One of the most tricky and corrosion prone areas on the 650 are the stock exhaust header fins. Anything oily will either get burnt off or baked on. I’ve taken to polishing them with Autosol using a tooth brush handle and rag, then giving them a light brush with XCF. I run the bike briefly and wipe any remaining residue off.
Great advice thanks
Great vid Nick 👍 as a rider for fun 🤩 I normally use the inside of my garage for my winter bike protection 😂😂
I don't blame you Michael!
Aiways use the muc off products, its quick and great results, not used the winter barrier spray before, so will give it a go on my commute bike. I use a pet dryer for getting the water out, great results, the only thing i do differently is after cleaning and lubing chain, put a small drop of acf 50 on a rag and wipe over outer edge of chain so it shines, making sure not to get lube off the inner part of chain, 20,000 miles later still have original chain and sprockets, great vid as always
Hey bud, cheers for the tips! I must get myself one of those dryers, dear santa.....
Great maintenance bike video Nick, keep up the good work
Thanks Brian!
Hi Nick n Jodie.yes its time to treat my inter aswell although its off road till April nxt yr.did notice you havent had calliper recall done yet.look forward to nxt vids.🤜🤛🏍
Mine a 2022 model and they sorted the calipers by then so no need
Very thorough explanation Nick. I am going to do this to my new Classic 350 and CB500X, despite the fact that I will hardly use the bikes over the winter, when the roads are plastered in salt. I am lucky in that I don`t need to commute on them.
Yeah I feel I'm getting a bit past commuting on a bike, but it saves so much time with traffic.
@@NickandJodie Yeah, it is definitely quicker but I just don`t need to use my bikes in the worst conditions, these days, so I am lucky. The Interceptor looks great, by the way.
Hi Nick/Jodie. I have just gone back to a scooter until I decide which bike to get again. Its a 2012 honda sh300 2000 miles, bought it on e bay without viewing. (Stupid) but 2000 miles 10 yrs old looked lovely. When I got it I was horrified. Both brakes were stuck on but the corrosion is un believable. On every metal part totally oxidised, the swing arm and forks will need removing. The owner must have left
T it outside permanently. When I stripped the brakes wasn’t one sign of copper grease. Pistons badly corroded. I have cleaned them as best as I could but in future will need new pistons and seals. I have removed every bolt and copper greased everyone. Think this bike which is lovely to ride will cost arm and leg to save. I wont be doing it. Will get used swing arm support and forks off e bay, plenty in Italy and France. I like to look after my bikes like u. My 21 yr old VFR had no corrosion. This honda is junk.as my nc750x which was 6 months old when I bought but neglected over 1 winter. That too was badly corroded.ur regime is mega important with our climate and quality of modern machines. My 6 month old nc had corrosion in many places particularly the swing arm.
That's why I like to post these videos, with a little care that takes about an hour can prevent all these problems. I do agree and I'm sad to say, Honda and some other manufactures have cut back on quality, the paint is very thing on some vital areas (ie. swing arm) This is part of why I purchased the RE, the paint is so thick, and I believe they are at the stage of building quality bikes to increase there growing reputation of quality motorcycles, passion is put into them rather than focusing on profits.
I spray all chrome with WD40 before the bike/car is stored for the winter. Never had rust issues in 20+ years.
perfect! anything to keep that moisture out!
Thanks Nick, really good video, I've not really looked at the brakes in detail before on the Interceptor so always assumed it would be calipers off to change the pads, a bit like a car I guess - so that's really good to know!
With regard to cleaning, I use pretty much what you do (mainly Muc-Off stuff) although I use Autoglym UHD wax for the tank and painted plastics and a mixture of Mothers metal polish and whatever chrome cleaner I have at the time because I have it all in my "car detailing" cupboard already. I used Techcote ACS200 as my "anti corrosion" product last year and it seemed to perform well - but I don't commute regularly on the bike and through the winter only tended to take the bike out on dry winter days when the temp was above freezing, so I'm not sure how good it would be if used in all weathers.
Hi Steve, yeah I was really impressed with how easy the pads are to remove, another plus of the inty! Thank for sharing your tips too.
Brilliant product Muc Off use it all the time! Great video Nick👍🏻
Awesome, the products work well and smell divine ✨️
i use a leaf blower or reverse the shop vac, to blow dry the bike
Good idea
I'm planning of readying Circe ready for winter storage. Waiting for tomorrow to do a proper washing and coating with ACF-50. Nice of you to remind me of the copper paste on the brakes. I'll bet Ttriumph forgot that stuff on the calipers.
Awesome Paul. Will have a catch up next week on discord ! Thanks for watching as usual 😀
Really useful thanks for that. Cheers 👍
You're welcome
I'm so close to pushing the button on one of these (orange crush). The only thing stopping me is I don't have a garage, it would be stored outside with just a cover to protect from the elements, and the shiny bits worry me!
Mine isn't garaged either, don't let it put you off honestly, I use mine in all weathers, no signs of any rust, the frame and parts are heavily painted. Spokes are stainless too.
Really, can I ask what cover you use please?
Oxford stromex, I'd wouldn't use anything other than this, next best thing if you don't have a garage. It's expensive but it's quilt lined too. I belive it's better than keeping it in a garage because you get good air flow around the bike and no condensation build up.
Thanks very much.
I used XPC anti-corrosion spray for metal parts and muc-off miracle shine for tank and paintwork. I wanted to clean the bike few times through the winter but of course it didn't happen :/ I think it worked pretty well what I've done.
Good job
Nice video I have had good results with muc off too
It smells great too!
Nice one Nick....
Be to see an after winter video, waxol is also good
Great point! And yes I will definitely post results in spring! :)
Nice one Nick, I use ACF 50.
Yeah I used that in past, this stuff seems like it sticks better, we shall see
@@NickandJodie Fair enough if you're riding through the winter. Mine will be protected and garaged until next spring.
Hang on guys, you are getting ready to get a lot of rain, drive safe.
Thanks very informative, some good advice there!
Thanks Kevin
Great video mate . I may have missed it, did you mention the exhaust?
To winter protect?
Yes
Mines stainless so it will be OK, you can use the muc off stuff on them tho
Have you tried rhino goo silicone shine. Protects and shines in one. Great stuff.
No I have, I'll check it out, thanks
Hi nick I am looking at a nc750 for my next bike what's your thoughts thanks Neil.
Yes yes yes, do it.
Did you say you won't wash the bike over the winter? Do you ride it in the wet & does the protection not get washed off?
Washing it with sudz will remove it, rain won't so I probably won't was it.
Which tankpads do you have?
