@justanothermotorcyclist I get 3x cans from Amazon...works out quite economical...spray it anywhere except brakes. Good for engine, exhaust etc...also use use acf50 just depends on my mood! Just get ready for the smoke!!👍🏻
Great detail. I shall endeavour to do at least 50% of this and anything over 20% of it, I'll call a complete success. Are those real external reservoirs on the rear shocks, do you think?
They are a bit suspicious, they don't "feel" right when you tap them with a apanner. I expect they do something functional, just not what they look like they do!
@justanothermotorcyclist I asked AI 😅 The stock rear shock absorbers on the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 are designed with external reservoirs that are primarily aesthetic, mimicking the appearance of high-performance shocks but lacking the functional benefits of true external reservoirs. For riders seeking enhanced suspension performance, aftermarket options with genuine external reservoirs are available. Here are some recommended upgrades: **Öhlins STX36 Twin Rear Shocks** These high-quality shocks feature a monotube design with a 36mm piston and an internal 'piggyback' reservoir, offering adjustable rebound damping and improved ride comfort. **Hyperpro Rear Shocks with Reservoir** Equipped with external nitrogen reservoirs, these shocks provide multiple adjustments, including rebound and compression damping, enhancing the bike's handling and stability. **YSS RD222 Series Shock Absorbers** These hydraulic twin-tube shocks come with adjustable spring preload and are designed specifically for the Interceptor 650, offering improved suspension response and comfort. Upgrading to these aftermarket shocks can provide tangible improvements in ride quality, handling, and overall performance, especially for riders seeking a more responsive and comfortable experience.
Any chance you I could lend you my bike for a cleaning video? No charge for the loan of it. 😉 On a serious note, excellent detailed video and good camerawork/editing.

Some great detail there. I use GT85, and for degreaser I use Paraffin in an atomiser. I am now inspired to do some work in the garage. Cheers 👍🏻
I might have to switch to GT85, just seen how much cheaper it is than WD40! Enjoy the garage time!

That's how I got suckered into cleaning this one 🤣 thanks for the kind words!
