Note: The installation of some of the items shown can void vehicle warranty. Please check on this with your dealership and be aware prior to installation. Cheers!
Sir, I've a Meteor 350 and I need a similar solution for it as well: suspensions, fuel system & jerking issues.
The vehicle is hardly 2500 kms old, bought 5 months ago.
Are you want to be Owner of bike ? Or in the name of service , original , you giving ownership to the showroom people and renting the bike from by paying your money ?????😅😂😂😂
Leave the warrenty , all idiot points.
Be the owner do all modifications as per you taste. Enjoy the ride. 😂😂
Kick the showroom and company asss . Because you are the owner of the bike. Don't behave like a rented mind.
Suspension changing voids warranty. Please tell ??
Which company's rear shocker you guys installed in this bike. Can i have name .
As a ktm owner I recently test rode the hunter. I was pleasantly surprised by the initial pull and how well it handled for an RE. Even test rode the interceptor to compare the 2. But came to the conclusion that the hunter at its price point offers way more than the interceptor.
👍 thanks for sharing your experience. Well put. Cheers!
After watching lots of useless cosmetic modification done by others in UA-cam, made me "less interesting" in mods. But after finding and watching this channel made me "energetic interesting" in mods, puts smile for purposeful mods and not for those plastic surgery cosmetics mods 😂
😊🙏 happy to hear. Thanks.
Function over form always wins!
@k-trailblazer yes to the ones who use their head. And to those who use their hearts, it could be the other way around. 😊
Hi, loved all your videos as they are very detailed and useful. Does the rear suspension change really work? I had that in mind even before getting the vehicle delivered, but after many conversations with official service center executives and third party mechanics, they successfully convinced me that it's just a waste of money as rear suspension of both hunter and classic are tuned identically. Even though I don't completely buy that. I was a bit disappointed. Not that you have done the mod, is it really worth it? What about the ground clearance after the mod, which is the reason RE gave us stiff shocks in the first place?
Why should u pay lakhs and modify, buy the best...buy Honda350
I felt the second spin right on his face. Definitely worthy. These are the 4 factors a ride should be
🙏🏻
I didn't know we could do this. Im slowly liking ur channel
🙏👍
Thank you very much for your reply....

Out of four I've done the Rear shocks change and Bar raisers for my Hunter. As said in the video 'my back was thankful' and bar raisers have done their job. Thanks to Big bear team for the timely suggestion.
👍
which suspension you installed?
Awesome, truly one of a kind video on internet. I am waiting to put few more kms on my hunter and ride straight to bigbearcustoms for this modifications. Also please let me know if warranty will take a hit with these modifications?
Thanks. Yes, the FuelX and EasyClutch can void warranty.
Re bikes r nonsense vehicle and owner tooo
I have enquired on RE customer care today, representative told even for suspension it could void for any chassis issues.
Ah ok.
I’m saving this video because I’m buying the hunter 350 in a few days. A good suspension is a must for my back. Please tell me where is your garage in Bangalore so that I can visit you when needed. Thanks 🙏

Superb philosophy sir. Buy it, ride it, evaluate it & THEN make the mods❤
🙏
Hi sir,Please make some videos on Honda H'ness, about it's issues, i feel you're the one among genuine youtuber on Two-wheeler service related updates.... will be waiting for H'ness related videos.
Noted. Will check on this possibility.
Are the C350 rear shocks a direct fit without modifications or alterations? I own the RE Hunter 350, and was looking for direct fitting rear shocks and thankfully came across your video. Please advise. TIA
Classic 350 Reborn is direct fit.
Nice video
🙏
Please make a short on suspension change specifically ❤❤
Noted
Hey sir this is something different from all the boring mods that they've been doing to the hunter, i own a hunter 350 and have been riding it for the past 1 year and i personally agree with the difference that these mods can do and provide a much better riding experience. How ever a small query, what do you think about ditching thr stock tyres and getting a block pattern or the dual purpose tyres, will that make a difference in a good or bad way?? Please suggest.
Thanks. If you ride on such terrains you can change else on tarmac they offer lesser grip and make steering heavy.
@@bigbearbangalorethanks sir, I'm planning to munch a few more thousand kms and then get this mod done
Any change in ground clearance post the classic suspension change - doest it increase, decrease or remain same ?
Same.
thinking of installing a performance air filter (bmc/ N-gage) to my hunter. is it necessary to change the stock exhaust to a free flow exhaust too? also would like to kno your thoughts on installing ngk spark plug kit.. pros/cons
Useful mods. NGK will help cold engine performance. Filter will help good airflow. No need to change exhaust.
Can just changing the suspension void the warranty? Btw nice video!
Unlikley but may be. Thanks.
Hello @bigbearcustoms
I'm in dilemma between Hunter 350 and Classic 350. Which one would you suggest? I like the light weight on hunter, but classic has it's charm. Please, I need your expert and well oiled suggestion for my first RE upgrade. Thanks bbc 😊
Between the two, you can consider to go with the Classic.
Best performance mods...
🙏
Hi sir, how do the dynamics of the bike change with the change in shockers, does it feel more rooted or gives jitters at higher speed turns.. also I did like to change the clutch fitting to get a smoother and softer clutch..
Stable at higher speeds.
Hi. Like your video style of precise and only needed details. What is your choice between hunter 350 and scram 411? My first bike Which i except to last long without any major or frequent issue. My need is a good daily commuter with style , rare tour, comfortable and safety. Not a offroader but considering indian roads that is inevitable.
Is my needed statisfy with hunter with only important mods in this video like suspension
Hunter 350
Hello sir
The sock absorbers.. is it a direct change or we have to change the washers or other adjustments. Also please inform whether both has same length.
Direct fit. Same dimensions.
What's your stand on Exhaust change.? I have TB500 and planning to change the exhaust from stock to Royal Enfield's own off road exhaust kit for Thunderbird. Is it okay to proceed?
It'll sound better.
Sir I have been owning hunter for around 6 months and I have developed lower back pain due to the stiff suspension. Your video is so informative and has opened my eyes at the right time. I was so frustrated that I was about to change my bike, but now I shall go for the classic reborn suspension. I want my back to thank me now.😂
Sir just a curious question, since you have driven multiple bikes. Could you tell ne whether the shotgun suspension is better than Hunter or not. I have not been able to find any information regarding it because I was actually considering upgrading from my hunter to Shotgun. Thanking you in advance sir.
They are different machines and a comparison even of the suspension is I appropriate. The handling and feel is quite different. Take a test ride to know more.
@@bigbearbangalore Thank you so much sir. I will surely do that. 😊
Hi Bosky, following your modification video I'm interested in changing my suspension on Hunter with one from Classic 350. Keeping aside the benefit of direct fit (without any bush change) with Classic Reborn suspension, do you think of any advantages the nitrox suspension (old Classic 350 suspension) will have over Classic Reborn suspension?
I am in quite a pickle selecting one of the both, could you please help?
I suggest the direct fit for its OEM direct fitment advantage.
Ahh okay. Sweet. Thanks!
Sorry I din't get it what was done to the clutch? which suspension was used ? I believe since the total run was 10k , all changes where done under warranty period and none of them voided warranty ?
Watch the Instagram reel on this for more clarity.
Dear Sir, I have booked Hunter 350 in Hyderabad. Always love your videos, authentic to the core. I need handle bar riser modification. any mechanic you suggest sir. I am newly relocated in Hyderabad so do not know much here. many thanks 🙏
Congrats. Sorry I don't know owners anyone there. The dealership perhaps can assist with the instalation.
I own a meteor 350, Which one would you suggest, the previous generation classic 350 suspension which had a gas charged setup, or the current generation classic 350 suspension which is not gas charged.
Reborn shocks is a direct fit.
After installing classic reborn shock absorbers, how’s the hunter performance on bumps/speed breakers. Now does it handle the jerks the same way as classic reborn does? Pls let me know Sir
It's softer and better for the pillion.
Hello sir! Do you think an Endurance or Gabriel shock absorber from the Pulsar 220 would be good for the Hunter 350? I feel since Classic is heavier swapping the shocks with it may not result in that big a difference. Please let me know what you think sir!
The installation of C350 shocks has worked and the rider is happy. Don't know about Pulsar shocks.
Thank you!
@@bigbearbangalore which model suspension you used in hunter, i want to change my hunter suspension but don't know the exact model
Helloo..
Great video. I've ridden my hunter 20k kms. I'm short and the lean onto the handle bar is really painful on long rides. I've already ordered an angled handle bar riser and I'm definitely gonna get the easy clutch too. I was also planning to either change my seat or replace the shock.
About the fuelx, does it really make a difference for the 10k price tag? also, would you share your opinion on the fuelx lite?
Really helpful video. Thank you very much ❤
Thanks for sharing. FuelX Pro better. Worth the investment in my opinion.
@@bigbearbangalore thanks for your insights ✌🏻
awesome video , is there a modification to improve the pillion seat comfort and lumber support
Try the RE touring seat. Helps a bit. It's already got a backrest?
@@bigbearbangalore I have the touring (bench) seat on my Hunter 350. And the discomfort is a lot on 50km+ rides (especially for the pillion). Do you know about any other comfortable seats or places which make custom seats for RE Hunter?
Thanks!
@parasdahiya1823 sorry I don't.
Hi, is there any cost effective rear suspension upgrade for the interceptor 650? The shocks are too hard even on the softest settings for city ride!
Not that I know of.
sir, is there any increase or decrease in ground clearance after installing classic reborn rear suspension? are they bouncy when you ride above 80kmph?
No decrease when static. Some reduction when acting.
Where did you guys get the shock absorbers from ? Is it from RE Classic 350 ? Does it improve the ground clearance of Hunter 350?
Classic Reborn shocks. From RE dealership. No change in GC.
@@bigbearbangaloreHow is the nitro gas shock absorber from RE better than reborn classic shocks
Hello,
Am having hunter 350 ,rear suspension is stiff and hard. Kidney guide me exactly what type of or brand name or some other details to replace the present suspension
Classic 350 Reborn rear shocks
Correct me if I am wrong about that rear shock absorber it does not seems like classic's one..
Can you clear me on that part and maker details
Classic Reborn
Perhaps you should have told us where to buy..any links to these products is highly appreciated.. Even i have same issue with RE classic GMG..
I have no links. Bought at physical stores.
Does the classic 350 reborn suspension is a direct fit ? Or should I have to buy any other washers or accessories.? Any mechanic can change it right ? Because my only problem with the bike is the suspension. 😢
Direct straight simple fit.
Hello Sir Ji , The hunter can we make modification as cafe racer with GT handle bar and other basic modification .if probably yes I wish to modify my hunter 350.let us know me further process .
Anything is possible I guess. 🙂
And we don't do such mods.
Hello, hunter has a low ground clearance in that aspect stiff rear shocks are good. What do you think?
Yes that's one of the reason for stiff shock. The Classic shock does not alter ground clearance. It softens the action.
@@bigbearbangalore makes sense, will be visiting you soon.
@bigbearbangalore Will these modifications affect the warranty of the bike in any way ?
Yes they can.
Hello.... Will Fuel X help to improve performance of my Bullet 500 with carburettor?
It's only for FI engines with O2 sensor.
Sir after installig the handlebar risers, would the motorcycle start vibrating after some time passes by and also which company's bar risers did you install?
Bar risers can cause increased handlebar vibrations or fuzziness. I don't use any ony motorcycles. For the Hunter you can check on Moto Torque.
Hi I’m using 1year of hunter 350 retro variant but I was feel bad on instrument cluster can I change it or upgrade the instrument cluster as on meteor 350 instrument cluster any possible
I don't think that's possible.
Hi sir, i have hunter 350 and facing rear suspension issue about stiffness so is really good to replace it with classic reborn suspensions and as i can see in this video that there you have replaced it with reborns suspension so what is long term review of them?
So far so good.
@@bigbearbangalore from where can i order these suspensions?
Hello Sir,
I own a Royal Enfield hunter 350, and after watching your video and reels about the installation of Eazy clutch and handlebar risers, I am planning to get those installed on my bike. Since there are multiple videos about Eazy clutch burning/damaging the clutch plates, Can you please clarify the same and share the feedback.
Installed correctly, there are no issues.
Thanks sir👍
The bike doesn't scrape with a 150 mm ground clearance due to firm suspension setup. if the classic suspension is quite plush then won't it scrape easily with pillion on the back?
It can scrape. So it's a choice the rider makes. Comfy ride with caution over speedbumps or hard ride with no risk of scraping.
@@bigbearbangalore sir, we can just up the preload na, when we have pillion
@SunsetsandThingpuiSenhang yes.
Greetings sir jee! Can you please tell me if any modification is needed for installing classic reborn shockers onto hunter. Like bushing, or change in the socket, washers, or nut-bolts etc. Does seat height/ ground clearance increase or decrease ? I wish I was in your city so I could give you my bike to modify.
Direct fit.
🙏🙏🙏
I want to extend my throttle cable for hunter 350 after installing carbon racing handlebar riser. What would you suggest? As turning handle to right , the cable is tight when i lock to right.
I know of no compatible cable.
Where is your shop sir? I will like to visit it sometime as I want to upgrade few things in my meteor.

I have already install the riser and easy clutch, can you please share the details for Suspension, Electronics. I am very much interested... thank you for such modification share... :)😃
Search for FuelX. The suspension in from the Classic Reborn.
Sir is the C350 shocks are stock fit or we need to do any modifications in them
C350 Reborn shocks direct fit.
Sir which Shock absorber you used in this modification. Please let me know. I am the owner of Hunter 350
Classic 350 Reborn
Can we fix 19 inch scram 411 wheel in front? ABS should be working after this?
On the Hunter? While anything is possible, this could be impractical.
Hi sir ! Been watching your videos recently and was searching your channel for a mods video on the old classic 350 , I have a 2018 classic and i want to invest in perfomance mods first thing would be bmc air filter (I've been hearing that for a while now and your videos confirmed that so thanks) and i want some help regarding others . I don't think fuelx or powertronic are in play as the bike is not fuel injected but Carburettor based so pleases suggest some mods accordingly.
Also great content !
Am not sure if much performance can be extracted from the Classic. Needs a lot of work as far as I know.
Am not familiar with making carburetor models go faster.
Oh okay , given the circumstances should i even go ahead with the bmc or no ? I mean i was looking for 3 mods, 1st the bmc air filter ,2nd performance exhaust from moto torque and lastly iridium spark plugs from ngk
Please give me an overview if I should even spend 10-15k in the bike or just let it go until i buy something new (which would be in the coming 2-3 years)
Also thanks for the help !
@@bigbearbangalore Hey bosky ! Please shed some light man really need guidance not just messing around.
The old Classic has limitations. It's difficult to make it go faster. May not be worth all the time and energy.
If we use classic 350 suspension in hunter 350 then warranty is void ?
Also can ntrox suspension of classic 350 are better??
Can be void.
Can be.
This is old classic 350 or new 350 shocks. Without any modifications we can just install it ??
Reborn Classic.
Will the suspension change cause any harm in the long run???
No harm.
@@bigbearbangalore thanks sir
Does changing the shock absorbers affect the seat height?
No change
Sir one question which shocks you used and does the stiffness is reduced without compromising stability at say 70-80kmph
Classic Reborn shocks. I didn't notice any instability.
@@bigbearbangalore thank you.
Awesome i really need that clutch, how can i get it or can you give me online link to buy?

@bigbearbanglore I need your support for one genuine issue.
Previously i was riding Benelli 302r, though the position was sporty, i didnt have any backpain.
After using hunter for 3 months, i have got lower back pain, which persist if i ride daily (2hrs commute).
Shall I try changing suspensions or handlebar?? Or both.
Try small bar risers and Classic Reborn rear shocks
@@bigbearbangalore thanks
Can I know what suspension are you guys replacing it with.
Classic Reborn

I am a new rider, learn to rode on Hunter350 and a proud owner of the same. I stumbled upon your channel a few days back and was pleasantly surprised by the crisp and clear contents. Following you ever since.
I am also facing some back issues due to the stiff suspensions. Just one question to you sir, my bike is 6 months old, does changing the suspension anyway void the warranty?
Warranty should not be voided but it's up to the company.
Hi, between classic 350 nitrox suspension and classic reborn, which suits the best?
Reborn is a direct fit and works well. Haven't tried the nitrox.
@@bigbearbangalore Thanks Sir,for the info😀. Will think over it. Stock suspension is hard to live with.
My height is 5.10, so my leg goes little forward and rear break feel upper side which makes right ancle uncomfortable. Can the hight of rear break lever adjusted? If not, can height of seat increased?
Some adjustments can be made on the pedal. And yes the seat, you can add foam to increase height.
Appreciate your reply. Just one more doubt, if I adjust the shock level from 1 to medium level will it affect ground clearance?
Not really. Few mm maybe. Thats all.
Hello
I felt like my hunter 350 original tyres not gripping much , can you please suggest a good gripping tyres it will be very helpful.
Depends on what grip you're looking for. Check on different block patterns perhaps.
@@bigbearbangalore thank you so much for the response 😊
Incidents happened multiple times like while driving home in a dirt road vehicle skids a lot .
Felt like I need to change the tyres...
Where should I'll be finding those prospec easy clutch please share the link if possible.
Prospec.co.in
Is fuelx necessary i mean without the change of air filter i don't think its gonna change whole lot, also isn't its going to negatively impact the engine in long run like 2/3 years
Makes a difference without the performance filter. It's only marginally extra fuel under acceleration so no damage to engine.
@@bigbearbangalore will it void my warrenty?
I'm actually considering to buy hunter 350 hence doing the research your channel has been the most helpful 🙏
@@bigbearbangalore can you please help a bit and answer please,
Will it void the warranty, the FuelX.
@@NISHUGARVUyes
Did you replace with Classic 350 shocks?
Yes!
Which shockers are installed , the new classic reborn one's or the old one's.?

@@bigbearbangalore can you suggest the same modification for meteor 350 pls?
When I turn on the ignition of my Hunter 350 it shows 10201 just after the swipe, recently a friend bought one it shows 10301. What does it mean?
That's likely just a random number. I'll check on this.
@@bigbearbangalore can be a batch no or number of units according to my tiny head. Please solve this mystery for me. Curious to know 🙃
What u recommend? FuelX pro or Lite. What is the diff in ability of map adjustment? Do we need that?
Pro has 10 settings that can be manually adjusted and is superior to the Lite.
@@bigbearbangalore For a beginner, how to know which will be the best map for which terrain?
Thanks for the feedback.
Ride it in different setting and use the setting that you feel good to ride in. And this can vary too. There is no rule that it should stay one a specific setting.
@@bigbearbangalore last query, If i mess up with settings to test on daily basis, any harm to the engine and its longetivity? Changing AFR again n again wont harm no?
@karanlalwani009 no harm. There is no mess up possible. AFR is anyway dynamic so don't worry about it. The FuelX Pro range although is 10 steps, that's within a 10% of the entire range of the main ECU.
Is it worth buying hunter inspit of these setbacks if not what is the alternative sir ?
Ronin
@@bigbearbangalore tq sir
Anna Pricing details Kodi, also are all these MODS doable for Meteor 350 ( Eazy Clutch and Fuel X Pro)?
It's in the video.
Doable for Meteor. Yes.
Any reason for not considering the nitrox suspension of older classic 350?
Bush needs to be changed. This is direct fit.
@@bigbearbangalore I was of the notion that the suspension of hunter and classic were the same(Cuz both don't have nitrox) . I ll try the classic reborn one. Thank you
Is there a way to improve top end of machismo 500 2008 . I picked it up recently , it’s done 33k on Odo

Ride is stiff . Can the rear shock be upgraded
BMC can improve throttle response. Shock change info is in the video.
Doesn't CK own a Hunter too? His impression after the first ride felt like he took the bike for test ride 😂
No he does not own one. This is not his motorcycle. It belongs to a customer.

Classic 350 Reborn
Hello sir,
Will royal enfield service centre do these modifications?i am planning to book hunter but im skeptical because of the rear suspension issue.
Don't think they can.
Don't buy a hunter, the suspension is very stiff and all the weight will fall on your palm/wrist. U will have nightmares after riding longer distances.
@@ItsBoringChannel wat abt honda cb 350 rs?is it good?
@@5starisms CB 350 is a good option but slightly more expensive. If budget is not the hurdle, go for it .
Hi Sir, I also did this modification today. However there is one issue post mod which is not highlighted here.
Since the classic 350 suspension is softer compared to original Hunter 350 suspension, the saree gaurd bottom side comes close to the nut connecting the bottom end of suspension. This is prominent when a pillion boards. So whenever there is any bump or pothole the nut is hitting the saree gaurd and making noise.
Did you do any fix for this or not? Please note that with solo rider this issue is not there as there is sufficient gap in that case.
Thanks
Thsnks for sharing. Point noted.
@@bigbearbangalore Please share once you have some fix for this issue.
I was thinking to may be change that nut to same size but without a rounded head that is present right now. But have to search for the same from some local mechanic shops.
Will check and update.
Can you tell me what clutch should I change please?
EasyClutch prospec.co.in
Will these mods void the warranty of this bike?
Yes the dealer / company can void the warranty based on the FuelX and EasyCkutch.
I’m confused between hunter and meteor. While I absolutely love how hunter looks and rides, I find meteor to be more comfortable due to a more upright seating. Bar risers seem like a good idea but does it cause any vibrations? I would really appreciate your input.
Thank you!
Both are similar in terms of the vibes. There are no vibes actually. Just a ligjt buzz at higher rpm.
@@bigbearbangalore awesome! Appreciate the response 😊
