    Respect for riding in this temperature! Here in South Texas it is 50f or 10c and I was out riding my Triumph T120 Bonneville today. I don't have the heated gear because we don't usually get the cold weather.

      10° is much better than -2° :-)

    I have a two year old blue Supernova which i love. I put a Red Rooster end can and link pipe which make the bike sound fantastic plus it helped the power. Also fitted a set of hard panniers that dont take too much away from the bikes looks however i think fitting a rear rack with maybe a top box will spoil the look of the bike. As for the dash Enfield should put a rev counter on the bike with the tripper placed in the center of it to bring a symmetrical look to the dash....
    Anyway enjoy the little Meteor, i love mine..

    i switched up from the meteor 350 to the super meteor and i still miss that little bike, its got such a lot of charm, but at the same time i absolutely love the 650's extra horsepower. Fuel efficiency i miss too lol. 650 is thirsty.Cant wait for spring to get back on the road! cheers!

    Back in the day I made it a couple of times to the Dragon Rallye in Northern Wales, in February through the Belgian Ardennes so I remember well what it is to ride with minus temperatures, and I feel with You, Marc. I used to put hand protectors onto the handlebars . A bit flickery as one doesn't see the shifters. Also a Bagster cover for waist and legs. Couldn't do it anymore, as I am much closer to 70 than to 18 now ;-) Also, I rode to winter meetings on my BMW sidecar-outfit, especially after a heavy experience once with me riding solo and my wife following solo on her machine all the way back from Düsseldorf through the Eifel, where we got into a heavy snow storm. I'll never forget that day...thanks for Your postings. I'm thinking that maybe I'll change the rear shocks of my 350 classic. Ride safe, and enjoy Your wonderful 350 Royal Enfield Meteor. I am pretty sure these machines are the last ones of a kind.

      A snowstorm with a motorbike is very dangerous, luckily it is cold in Berlin so far and no snow.

    Hi Mark. Maybe instead of installation of heated grips maybe take a look to simple hanbars. I had them in my previous bike and I will install them on my new Meteor 350. The most advantage of them is, that the air stream doesn't punch your hands, thus you don't feel any cold air so much as without any handguards.

    A couple of years ago I had a meteor 350 which had an engine management light coming on in the English winter, I had it reset at the dealership twice and then bought an eBay code reader and turned it off at least three more times before the dealership had a ecm flash to update the oil temperature data, which was the cause of the engine light,code states oil temperature to low very annoying but I think they may have sorted it now on the new model 😊

    It's certainly a bit too nippy to be out at the moment isn't it Marc? I went out for an hour today on my Bullet 350 and had to come home because my hands and face went numb. Roll on spring!

      Ich habe mich für die Classic entschieden in erster Linie wegen der klassischen Optik aber auch wegen der Sitzposition. Die Sitzposition finde ich bei Personen bis 183cm vor allem für den Rücken als ausgesprochen komfortabel. Auch für kleine Personen unter 170 cm passt die Classic gut wenn man den niedrigen Komfortsitz montiert,

    Conditions were ripe for what we call "black ice". I little too risky for me. 😏 I purchased a light set of pannier rails . They are meant to keep my soft leather bags away from the wheel. The bag straps wrap around the hand rails.Just received mod #15, a rear fender plate for when I want to remove the pannier seat to sport a more bobber style. Looking forward to your upcoming excursion. Cheers. 🍻

    Well done getting out in such cold temps. These days it's optional for me so it has to be 4~5C and preferably sunny!
    My meteor has givi pannier rails and rack, the pannier frames mount to the footpeg as well as bracing between the two sides via a rear brace, so they feel pretty sturdy, if that helps?
    I'm still on the original rear shocks but I do occasionally lube the pushrod with gt85 just to help it overcome stiction (same on front forks). They are comfy but do wallow at around 60-65mph around bumpy country roads, which I'm certain your quality shocks wont.

    Hi, what are your thoughts on the new ngk spark plug? I have done this modification based on your suggestion, but haven't been able to ride my bike yet as the weather is so poor here in England. Just wondered if you can notice any difference from the standard plug?

    • @Marc.Stones
      @Marc.Stones  13 днів тому +6

      Hi, I think the engine runs a bit smoother but this can also be because of the DNA air filter.

    Mój przyjacielu, wszystkie modyfikacje są super, prócz filtra powietrza. Poczytaj jakiej wielkości pyły, który jest na drodze są najniebezpieczniejsze dla silnika. Właśnie te drobinki NIE są filtrowane przez DNA filter ! Popatrz na oryginalny filtr i ten co założyłeś, weź szkło powiększające i sam stwierdzisz. Przyjmuje się, że około 5 krotnie szybciej dojdzie do zniszczenia silnika, ale ok Twój wybór. Może ten filtr, który założyłeś jest ok , ale sprawdź.
    pozdrawiam

    J'ai également une 350 météor , j'apprécie vraiment cette moto et la fait rouler une demie heure chaque semaines, sauf quand la température descend sous les 0° car je n'ai pas de casque intégral .
