My wife just walked into the room while I was watching this video, literally the second she heard your voice she said... “oh, what are we getting for the bike this week?” 😂😂 Reply.. “Nothing.. Stuart has already covered the fork upgrade for our bike.. 🤗 ....I’m just watching this one out of interest...”
As soon as my wife hears Stu say “RRRIght” at the start of Stu’s video she starts barking at me like Pavlov’s dogs. “Turn that off” “What else are you Buying?” So funny!
Very well done, sir. Sent my memories back to when we solved front suspension issues differently because we had no other options. I'm talking early '60s, so for a chuckle stick with me a moment. The too soft springs were usually "fixed" with a spacer - sometimes 2 inches from an old fork spring, sometimes a piece of metal tubing. The "pre-compression" worked surprisingly well. The damping problem was a simple change to a heavier weight oil. That was a real hit or miss, but it was a cheap fix. That too would make a big improvement in the handling. As to ride, I'm not sure we were even aware of what good compliance was back then. It was all about tightening up the bike to "flick" around the corners without wallowing. Since most of my riding was on Nortons and Matchlesses, I get a kick out of younger riders who comment on the vibration of my current '59 AJS 650 twin, as I never remembered vibration being annoying. Don't even notice now. The good old days weren't really that good, but they were all we had and their recollection is priceless. I too have a current RE Classic and look forward to your videos on it. Best to y'all from Texas.
Uncle Stu, you are now my favorite You Tube! I have the R.E. “approved” Ohlins front and rear suspension. I can tell you that the YSS front setup is definitely more sophisticated with additional parts to assist oil flow. Its interesting that Ohlins told me they purposely moved this product line to Thailand for production and left the front rather basic, only matching the rear shock spring rate, for cost purposes. They felt that riders who purchased a cheaper cost motorcycle like a 650 Twin, would not spend the money for a “premium” Ohlins system. Maybe this thinking is true in the Indian/Asian market, but is totally opposite of the way I think which is “cheaper bike=more money for upgrades”.
From a melted snow flake here, I stopped the video and went to the dealer and put a deposit in the bike (Interceptor) after riding a gorgeous Continental GT. I took your advice and a a manual just for the same reasons you mentioned. Everyone has a mate called Paul that knows a hairdresser who dated a circumcised mechanic that can recite torque values faster than a padre can recite the 10 commandments. Great video by the way, I appreciate it.
Stuart, excellent tutorial. I've done similar jobs (years ago) with RaceTech internals on other bikes with the basic turkey baster damping rods forks (like the SV650). Your video gave me the confidence to do this job myself, no sweat. Thanks for saving me a couple of hours of shop rate labor!
Such a shame there are idiots out there that challenge you on your videos , I find them very helpful and very clear , people need to realise the amount of time it would take for camera setup and editing and the fact you are passing you knowledge out free . Top job 👏 👌
Great video again Stuart . Thanks. I’m just about to install this kit on my 2019 Continental GT650 . I’ve done quite a few miles on the bike already and absolutely love it . I’ve been riding for almost 40 years on a wide variety of different bikes and this Royal Enfield has to be the best one so far ! I’m hoping to make it even better with the YSS kit .
I stumbled upon your channel just an hour ago. Was searching reliability reports for RE Continental GT... I love the way you narrate. Watched few of your videos on Interceptor, and i think you convinced me on Royal... You have one more subscriber :) Stay safe and all the best from Croatia.
Now, we have time to watch and enjoy! One guy told to a video producer (not so far from You) that he is not going to watch the rubbish that the local TV-channels offer so he's just having a good time watching some lawn movers getting repaired! Attitude is everything!
Thanks Mate! I like ur videos! It's a pleasure to watch them without having to listen to any annoying self-promoting sayings all the time. U explain it great, calm, relaxed an on point. Keep on in this way. People like u makes it much easier for me. By the way - i love ur smooth Voice Cheers from Germany
I really enjoy stuff like this, and as usual, clearly and concisely explained and demonstrated. Regarding the torque settings thing, i am always amazed at the way some keyboard warriors think they know better than the manufacturer/workshop manual.
Yeah I find it all really puzzling Steven. The problem is those sort of queries eat in to my time to a ridiculous level now so it was time to change tactic!
Just like to say a huge thank you to uncle stu,I've watched this video many times for entertainment reasons and love all the videos but today I finally installed the yss kit....I'm not sure your know quite how much these videos mean to us but these videos are worth they're weight in gold ,like a Haynes manual in Yorkshire dialect,I was even giving the ole aye up and various other words during my project,just excellent step by step,job done runs smooth as silk.not sure I've got anything else left to change, might need another bike to tinker with now 💥 cheers again 👌
Thank you Stuart for a excellent video has usual. It's a bigger job than I thought. I live in Thailand & it's to hot & I'm to old to start messing about with bikes now. But I love to watch your video's, so that I can make sure the person working on my bike, know what they are doing. One of the up sides to living here is labour is so cheap, the down side is, finding someone who knows what they are doing. Thanks again Stuart
Aaah Thank-you Stuart ~ another precise & crystal clear, interesting tutorial (stuartorial) long since awaited. I purchased the full set upon your 1st upload on YSS upgrades, and fitted the rear shocks as per your guidance. The result was startlingly improved characteristics. I have awaited patiently (thanx covid) for this postponed completion stuartorial and, it was, as ever; mighty fine, again - many thanks!!! I am as as tad of a novice fettler, disappointed that, because of certain rude types contributing the square root of zilch, you've felt the need to cease the torque values as I am struggling now to find them. I perfectly understand the logic of course, but could similar such no marks be simply ignored, rather than let them Marr everyone else's experience. Keep up the damn fine splendid output of Stuartorials sir......
Great information, Stuart. I just bought a INT 650 and I like it a lot. The suspension as not as good as my GS and it dosen't have as much power. But it's fun to ride and remember the good old days of the 60's. Truthfully, the 60's motorcycles were never this good.
Good call on Wemoto. Been getting parts off them for years and have always found them helpful and efficient. Wish I could get a quality suspension upgrade for my latest bike but new fork springs and quality rear shocks would come to the same amount that I paid for the bike! 😅😭
Had a 1985 GSXR played around with front suspension and fitted a balance pipe between the fork legs at the top . This meant that the air pressure in the fork legs was always equal on full bump regardless of any slight differences in damping oil level . When on full bump ie heavy braking the air at the top of the forks compresses and any difference in fork oil level will cause each fork leg to behave different . In the case of the GSXR which had a small spindle and single pinch bolts it could cause instability under very hard breaking . This little mod improved matters no end .
I appreciate the didactic and exhaustive nature of these how-to videos. You lose more valuable life hours on the "first remove engine" instruction manuals, from people who perform these operations everyday. Most home maintenance is a steep learning curve, and seeing another bloke do the heavy lifting it is invaluable.
I am amezed with the care and love you handled the bike throughout the video. I wish I would ever find someone like that, I would happily travel considerable distance to get my bike done right if someone handles it so carefully.
This is why you should not be worried about buying a good commuter bike this type of up grade is the way to go and make a good bike a great one nice one chap really good explanation not used that company my self but have done a few upgrades in my time keep up the good work
This video is GOLD! Truly appreciate your attention to detail and walking everyone through this awesome upgrade. Time to get it done and hit the track. 15w it is my friend! Cheers.
Thank you for the clear no nonsense advice. Sorry you no longer give torque ratings, I wish you would state your preferred tightness but fully understand your dissension. Informative and thoughtful, but most of all thoroughly entertaining.
Excellent timing I had this modification to the front suspension planned for this week, I have the kit just need to get the job done, excellent video as normal Stuart.
Sir, i bought these for my Gt, asked the mechanic to fit it up and he screwed it, then after seeing your video i managed to pull it off at home, thanks.
I'm getting this bike some point in 2021. Listening and watching you work on this bike and your reviews have helped me get ready with plenty of information. All time great reviewer. Thank you for your expertise.
Hi Stuart. For headlight adjustment before I strip suspension down (front or rear) I mark my drive about 3 metres away from a wall and sit centre of the front wheel on it. Then mark on the wall where the beam hits (better at night). After rework I tweak headlight till same as before. (I appreciate this only puts it back to before, and not maybe to manual, but its somewhere near to what you was happy riding around on before.)
HI Stuart having just purchased my Interceptor I have been watching your videos and think that they are a great source of reference. Keep them coming mate.
I guess I'm late to the party,... but these videos do travel in time into the future! I installed the YSS shocks and fork upgrade. Uncle Stu, I think you undersold the fork upgrade. I am really amazed at how well it works. Thanks for the detailed installation video. My only gripe (and it's a small one) was your leaving us to figure out how to get the headlight mounts positioned. The first one took me almost an hour, the second took me 10 minutes. Keep the amazing videos coming!
Speaking of upgrades and conversions, how about a video of converting a RE from chain drive to belt drive? Love your videos. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
After searching around I found a pair of Racetech Gold Valve Emulators that are made for modern classics. They actually show the R.E. Continental GT 535 in marketing spec. So all is not lost. I will make these work with the Ohlins kit. I wish I had seen your un boxing of the YSS front suspension kit before ordering Ohlins.
Nice vid, have been watching all of yours I reckon. This bike got me starting lessons, my theory and 'special excersizes' exams in the pocket, now only the road exam to go.... and then finding a sponsor.....
Honestly, knowing these fantastic videos are here makes me want to get one of these. Your maintenance videos are top notch and really capture the joy of turning wrenches on motorbikes for fun
Great video. Nice to see the old film where a motor bike with sidecar has clip ons, but a L plate. So the rider is most probably be sixteen! Hope you get better soon. Maybe yoga would help.
Cheers Stuart, I've just fitted the YSS front fork kit and the difference is amazing. Your videos have been really helpful. I don't have the cash to upgrade the rear shocks yet but will consider it later. I struggled with the front suspension right from day one, to me it seemed pretty awful compared to all the other bikes I've owned over the years.
Very good tutorial! I don’t own a RE but I can use the newly gained knowledge while working on my other bikes. I hope you are enjoying your Interceptor-looking forward to more videos and your opinions regarding the bike.
Thanks Stuart! Greetings from Thailand. If I do get a second bike to go alongside my T120 I would buy an Enfield. I will watch this again if this happens. Cheers again!
Another impeccable video! I'm definitely going to save up for the YSS front fork springs and dampening system. Appreciate your efforts and providing a sport biker enthusiast much needed information for his first modern cruiser. Cheers.
You can also use a set of vernier callipers to measure how far up the forks protrude from the top fork clamp. Lock the calliper in place once you’ve taken the measurement. Then when sliding the fork legs back into position, you just hold the vernier callipers up in the same spot and slide the forks up to the point they make contact with the verniers.
Great video, it really walks us through the installation process. I look forward to the next video, and to your impressions after you've ridden with the new setup for awhile.
Mate found really interesting as someone who's coming back to riding a bike again I wanted something could get my hands dirty with the royal enfield interceptor is perfect. Look forward to other video's hopefully some are also jobs I'll be having a crack at too.
Thanks stu. I put new shocks on my r1150rt.an chompin at bit to get out an try them an set them up rite. Lookin fwd to ur vid on how u sort ur new fork setup. Best luck
Hahahaha nice video mate …..always enjoy your vids excellent info well presented clear and easy for any novice to understand and tackle the suspension upgrade themselves saving a bucket load of cash at the same time …..
Hi Stuart, thanks for all your vids, I rode for 9 hours today on my GS, first time since February. Totally knackered. Can you do more on your new 500. So looking forward to your assessment and mods etc. Cheers matey.
Great video man, one day I will buy the Interceptor as my second bike. Cause it's a real British twin and very affordable. When I do I am going to make the same upgrades on the suspension. For now I am customizing my main ride, BMW R9T Roadster. Preparing to upgrade the suspension on my main hooligan ride as well. After doing endless research I made a decision to get Nitron TVT fork cartridges and R1 or R2 rear mono shock also. So your video has inspired me to go ahead and do it myself. Cheers Riders ☻☻😁
Great video once again. Informative even for those who don't own an Enfield. One reason I could never run my own You tube channel is the small army of keyboard "experts" that spend their life criticising every move you make. It would frustrate me to the point of contemplating homicide! When is the video regarding converting the incandescent indicators to led appearing please?
My wife just walked into the room while I was watching this video, literally the second she heard your voice she said... “oh, what are we getting for the bike this week?” 😂😂

We forget how much work goes into making these components. Respect to 'we moto'

Great job Stuart, in Brazil there are so many people watch your videos to learning more about the interceptor 650.
Big hug.
Uncle Stu, as long as you put stuff like this out, you can steal a little bit of my life....
As usual, well done. Had no idea the viscosity on forkoils has not been standardized.
The oil in the forks is the cheapest way to alter their response, per the operators weight and useage.
This is why you should not be worried about buying a good commuter bike this type of up grade is the way to go and make a good bike a great one nice one chap really good explanation not used that company my self but have done a few upgrades in my time keep up the good work

Speaking of upgrades and conversions, how about a video of converting a RE from chain drive to belt drive? Love your videos. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
That's a nice simple design of fork oil level adjuster. Much better than fiddling about with a ruler.
Yes indeed!
Well this portion of my life (Watching this video) was certainly time well spent. Learned much, and love yer production style sir...thank you.

Couldn't agree more. The front suspension is the Achilles heel on this bike. I'm looking for an upgrade myself.
Great video Stuart!
Waiting for your review video.
Stay safe! Ride safe! God speed!

now fitted to my bike,and a noticeable improvement :)
Thanks Stuart for this video. I rank it as one of your best, explaining the benefits of after market suspension upgrades.
Great to hear!
Cheers Stuart, I've just fitted the YSS front fork kit and the difference is amazing. Your videos have been really helpful.

Stay safe Stuart
Thanks Stuart! Greetings from Thailand. If I do get a second bike to go alongside my T120 I would buy an Enfield. I will watch this again if this happens. Cheers again!
Definitely going to have get this kit, the front of the Interceptor needs it. I will have to review this video when I do the job. Thanks mate.
Better kit than tec supply, with valves and oil, tec just supply springs and spacers! Looks a great kit!
Great video and content as always Stuart, think ill get this upgrade for my interceptor. Stay safe pal

After doing endless research I made a decision to get Nitron TVT fork cartridges and R1 or R2 rear mono shock also. So your video has inspired me to go ahead and do it myself. Cheers Riders ☻☻😁
Keenly following your videos as there is an interceptor in my future.
Thank you it is very useful, it is pleasant to see it done with so much information before I do it👍😁
Great video once again. Informative even for those who don't own an Enfield.
One reason I could never run my own You tube channel is the small army of keyboard "experts" that spend their life criticising every move you make. It would frustrate me to the point of contemplating homicide! When is the video regarding converting the incandescent indicators to led appearing please?
I'm very sensitive UNFORTUNATELY.
Could not be a RUclipsR, respect to Stuart.
Excellent vid as usual stu..
Ive always been a bit weary of doing forks....think ill have a go at the legend....."right stand back , im going in"....
