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!
I felt the second spin right on his face. Definitely worthy. These are the 4 factors a ride should be
🙏🏻
After watching lots of useless cosmetic modification done by others in CZcams, 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
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?
Superb philosophy sir. Buy it, ride it, evaluate it & THEN make the mods❤
🙏
I didn't know we could do this. Im slowly liking ur channel
🙏👍
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.
@@bigbearbangalore oh okay, I must has misunderstood that video where CK is talking about the pros of Hunter as city commuter. Thanks!
👍
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 🙏

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.
Nice video

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
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.
Can just changing the suspension void the warranty? Btw nice video!
Unlikley but may be. Thanks.
Any change in ground clearance post the classic suspension change - doest it increase, decrease or remain same ?
Same.
Thank you very much for your reply....
🙏
Best performance mods...
🙏
Please make a short on suspension change specifically ❤❤

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.
My RE TB350 2016 twin disk model rear shock are terrible. I fiddled around with the adjustments, still I could not get comfortable ride with in city. Very bumpy. Please suggest if I can replace any other RE model suspension, (say reborn bullet 350) or any good suspension to enjoy city and rural rides smoothly?
Thank you.
Am sorry, I know of no alternative. You'll need to explore within the RE range perhaps. Interceptor?
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!
Great mods, especially with the suspension, but then will it take on bumps well without scraping the belly, given the low ground clearance of 150mm ?
There is a drop in GC when riding doubles.
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.
What did the fuel x did to the performance part of the bike does the fuel economy increased or it got more top end performance since its the most expensive mod i would love to know
Improves throttle response. That's it.
Will the classic rear shocker affect the ride & handling of the bike? The Hunter with it's stiff suspension performs well at high speeds
Then stay with the stock if it works for you.
@@bigbearbangalore won't the classic shocks provide a balanced setup?
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. 😊
@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
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.
Hello.... Will Fuel X help to improve performance of my Bullet 500 with carburettor?
It's only for FI engines with O2 sensor.
Damn.....Here I was with sore fingers and shoulders after my daily commute with Hunter. Definitely need these changes, saving for it!
👍
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.
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
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
Am i the only one finding the other guy as a doppleganger of Jackie Shroff😅
😮
Hey can you give the location of the garage. Need exact mods for mine aswell

Please WhatsApp 6364 887338
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.
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.
@@bigbearbangalore have reroute the cable from inside right suspension.
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.
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 ✌🏻
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
Hi sir.. can you please let us know the part number for the suspension used here..🙏
1100181/G
Does the changes void the bikes warranty ?
Not likely.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
Will changing suspension void warranty?
Not sure but unlikely
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Will the suspension change cause any harm in the long run???
No harm.
@@bigbearbangalore thanks sir
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.
@bigbearbangalore Will these modifications affect the warranty of the bike in any way ?
Yes they can.
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.
Is it worth buying hunter inspit of these setbacks if not what is the alternative sir ?
Ronin
@@bigbearbangalore tq sir
Is this workshop in Bangalore?
maps.app.goo.gl/ohkbyANFvKuobmY18
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.
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.
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 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.
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

Sir which Shock absorber you used in this modification. Please let me know. I am the owner of Hunter 350

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👍

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.
Can I know what suspension are you guys replacing it with.
Classic Reborn
This is old classic 350 or new 350 shocks. Without any modifications we can just install it ??
Reborn Classic.

Anything is possible I guess. 🙂
And we don't do such mods.
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.
What is the cost of only changing rear suspension
I think about 2,100/-
@@bigbearbangalore hey, asking late, did it had to cut the portion of chain cover? and I reached to some workshop everyone are warning not to modify like this. Needed proper assistance.
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.
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.

Mid pre-load setting. Higher or lower is a personal preference.
