- In this episode we install the 19 tooth front sprocket we purchased from www.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com for $75 AUS and road test it. This is an awesome modification if you use your Royal Enfield for longer, faster or highway rides, I would highly recommend it. Install can be fiddly so take your time if you do it yourself or get your dealer to install for you!
You will need a 46mm socket and breaker bar!
Sorry for the long video. Road testing starts at 8:47 if thats all you want to watch.
Why do you shake the camera while taking the vid? This vid is useless.
Then dont watch it mate, simple. Its free content watch another video, if its not for you!
Excellent information regarding both the installation of the 19t sprocket and the differences it makes. Thanks for taking the extra time to capture, edit, and post this video! You've created the most comprehensive amount of information about the Classic 500 that I've found on CZcams.
My pleasure mate thanks for the kind words! 😀
Great video! I enjoyed watching how you replaced the 19 tooth sprocket but I enjoyed it even more driving it on the empty roads and listening to the Enfield. Rarely that I watch a complete video of someone else driving the bike but this one I did!👌🏻
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed!
Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but worth pointing out that the Euro 4 model ( 2017- 2021) comes with a 17T standard. I did not check so went from a 17T to a 19T with a 38 rear sprocket and it feels terrible ! revving hard to get off the lights, lugging, so need to swap down to an 18T to get it right.... perhaps you want to point this out to your viewers ? Thanks again for the instructions
Cheers mate ill pin the comment for others!
I guess if you get a big bore kit having the 19T could be a good idea
I did read the ABS models came out with a 17 tooth sprocket, so yeah upgrade to 18 tooth, while the earlier models were 18 so upgrade to 19 tooth? Same result apparently.
@@manurewaboy It had me scratching my head for a second since they both share the same size rear sprocket until I noticed the pre ABS models have an 18" rear wheel compared to the 19" in the ABS bike so it ends up much the same, the rear wheel on the ABS bike spins 1/18th slower at the same revs but the wheel is 1/18th bigger.
@@Biggus63 that makes a lot of sense.
I run good quality OEM Reynolds chain on my Triumph Tr-6 with a hard tail and magneto.A piece of the frame broke and also cracked in two places. The Reynolds chain was holding the back of the bike together. You could see it shaving the back sprocket. Rigid frames are very easy on chains because they are always at the proper tension. I have had my Triumph Tr-6 with a hard tail and magneto for 40 years.
Also, you've got some beautiful terrain there!
Yup tasmania is a beautiful place to ride!
THANKS MAN
Just saw this video, good review and good mod! Just a few days ago I caught the boat from Geelong the Devonport to pick up a 2000 model Iron Barrel Bullet, I nearly sent you a message. I wish I had as I just looked it up and you're only about 20 ks from Devonport. I also own a 2014 UCE Bullet, love both those bikes they have so much heart. Good on ya mate, ride safe and watch out for the skippies and the random wildlife jumping out in front of you!
Cheers enjoy the bike mate!
I'll agree that the 19 tooth front sprocket was one of the best "bang for the buck" upgrade you can do. Period. -Madd Man
Doesn't it transform the cruise-ability of the bike, I was so impressed! Cheers
@@iRidetas It sure dose it was after watching madmans video I then moded mine
My 2019 c500 thanks you very much. Basically so to say the bike has a lot of potencial shame that manufacturer puts 17T sprocket stock. Now cruising at 100/kmh is like a dream. 19T sprocket is a must.
Glad you like it!
She sings a great tune. There's quite a few of them appearing now here in the U K.
Yeah it sounds great thanks. RE are becoming super popular particularly the new 650 twins!
Proud to be from India
it's an awesome improvement on my 2010 C5 , a couple others I really recommend if you want to virtually eliminate vibrations are the bearing plate from Carberry, works extremely well, and drilling out your plugs in the handle bars and almost filling the bars with pellet gun pellets or shotgun shot and then putting on bar end mirrors, which also eliminate a lot of turbulence around your helmet from the stock mirrors. feels like a completely different bike.
The carberry plate is on the list for sure! But the 19t is great I'm loving it!
you will be amazed at the difference on that plate, well worth it.
Awesome great to have someone how has experienced it first hand! Cheers
also when ordering from hitchcocks get the flywheel puller, it saves a lot of trouble, and follow Carberry youtube video exactly.
Will do mate thanks for the heads up!
Holy moly, this was supremely helpful. Thanks for all of this!
No worries!
Great vid, informative and entertaining. So jealous of those empty dry roads though mate. The antithesis of what you would expect in Sheffield UK😃
Thanks my friend I'm very lucky with the area I ride! Cheers
Have now fitted 20 tooth front sprocket and a 110/90/18 rear tyre RPM has dropped from 3600 to 3100 at 100km/h, with vibration reduction plate, makes a relaxed riding
Sounds awesome! That would be perfectly in the torque for you! 🤔🤔
My Sportster is still on the original set of drive sprockets after 25 years. I get 100,000 miles out of a belt . Much cheaper in the long run.
Great video, buddy! I just got out there and changed the spark plug today from the factory Bosch to the NGK BPR6eix. The cap was a nightmare to get off, I don't think it's ever been removed since being put on at the factory. Put the new plug in...cap would not go on for the life of me. I struggled and did everything I could. Decided to put the Bosh back in...cap went on no problem! Start looking and realize the Bosh has a threaded top and the NGK had a cover around the threads! Grabbed some pliers and twisted it off...went on a like a dream afterwards. Funny moments like that make it memorable!
Haha yeah that little knob thing on the thread!!! Glad you got it sorted. Hope you find it helps!
@@iRidetas thanks man, dedit helped. I wanted to ask what are you using for a microphone? I can hear the bike just fine but it's also not blown out by the wind.
I use a mymyk microphone! It works well!
I did an upgrade like this to my '95 Enny 500 after improving the breathing of my motor.
Back then I'd never heard of Hitchcocks so I made my own sprockets. I installed a smaller back wheel in the quest for a brake that suffered less heat fade (Honda CB350 back wheel with mods) but it was a mistake. The change in rake angle induced by the lowering of the rear end affected handling negatively.
Lacing a CB750 hub to the original rim to get better braking while retaining the original wheel diameter seems to have become "one of those projects"...
I must admit, watching your vids this evening has given me a bit of a kick in the ring mate.
You should be employed by the Tassie Tourist Bureau! I enjoy your honest practical videos. I am about to buy a new Bullet so I appreciate your videos.
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoy the vids. Enjoy your new bike they are great fun
I did the same on my 2018 model and wished I had gone up to 20 teeth, I'm sure it would pull it, as the torque is great with the Hitchcocks free flowing exhaust system, I also fitted the Carberry crank bearing kit at the same time.
Mine will cruise 70-75 easily on dual carriageway top whack is about 85 before rev limiter kicks in. Love the bike
20t requires some removal of material from the casing. So im sure most people would be reluctant to install but I agree im sure it would pull that gearing! 👍
That's a lot of stripping to get to the sprocket dude. I hope you enjoy the results after that Herculean effort.i best most folks wouldn't dare.good vids again bud
I could believe how much had to come off to get to the sprocket but it was well worth the effort! Thanks mate! 😀
I told you you`d like it. I too thought it cut down quite a bit on the vibrations. The bike I test rode reminded me of my old 2003 Bonneville T100. Not as powerful but still better than the stock 500.
It's transformed the bike, just love it! Between the grips the cross brace and the sprocket there is no vibration!! Glad I did the swap
Great Video I did this mod a few years ago best mod I have done to my classic 500.
Yup absolutely agree
Looks like a good mod..However, my 2016 has an 18 tooth front sprocket. So I just changed the rear sprocket from 38 to 36 tooth, still get the 2 to 1 ratio, but about one third the cost and don't have to mess around pulling the case. Just pull the rear tire and change the sprocket. Much easier and same result.
Each to there own mate, i really wanted a plus one front sprocket!
It might be a lot of work but it still looked fun to do the swap and the results sound perfect
It was such a great addition to the bike, makes the bike so great for higher speed runs on the back roads! It was pretty rewarding to have installed it!
I did fit a 19T to my 2015 Classic EFI-500 only to find it reduced ultimate top speed and put a huge gap between 4th and 5th so that joining a motorway I had to rev 4th up to 75mph in order change up with any hope of acceleration in top. All the gears are shifted up so that 2nd and 3rd used for tight corners and bends now had to go down a cog, and that gear was too low. With the gearing raised the back wheel lacked sufficient power in top to get 85mph even though I have a few extra ponies, struggling to get over 80 at times. With the 19T the motor felt like it was labouring and slogging at times. I swapped back to the 18T.
With the 18T re-installed it will happily potter along at the national speed limit (NSL) of 60mph and the gears are now back in all the right places for bends. Motorway NSL is 70mph, it will happily cruise at that and then some when asked, as the cars go north of 80.
Have I shown you this before? It's no burn up but a fairly gentle ride uphill on a relatively twisty rural A-road.
czcams.com/video/6FZPqf3qI3M/video.html
Yeah youve said several times now, i love the 19t it suits how i ride where i ride! Like anything its not for eveyone but its for me!
@@iRidetas many do find it suits them. And I am happy that you like it .
However I could not fail to notice in one of your later videos where you ride the coast road that your engine was slogging when you climbed from sea level up onto the cliffs. The terrain in the video I referenced climbs from 120m from the River Kennet to just under 300m on Walbury Hill off to the left of the road. Which it can do very easily without labouring at all, powering up the climbs with some to spare, but could not when I had the 19T on.
Thats great for you mate! Thanks for your concern, i find the 19t great and wont be changing it No further debate, as ive said to you before re the slasher, its my motorcycle and the mods i do are my preference and ill do them how i like as i would expect you to do to yours. Ride safe mate and enjoy your motorcycle as i enjoy mine! Cheers
Beautiful riding Country 👍
Yes mate, the back roads are made for the RE
It sure is a lot of work to get to that sprocket mate. Although, that is one of the easiest performance mods that will give you instant results 👍
It's changed the bike for the better for sure. Give me the xv250 any time for sprocket changes over this!
I'll add that to my to do list next oil change, just been coast to coast here for £4.80.. about $7 haha went to the bugout vehicles meet . Can see me and the bike on Richards channel " bugout vehicles UK" I'm in the vid he put up today but there will be another short one soon just on me and my setup for survival and fishing and hunting , riding to the veterans protest in Manchester tomorrow because our boys are being put on trial for following orders 40 years ago so it's gonna kick off..vids will probably be under "rolling thunder UK" ..we are shutting down all major cities till they listen. Great vid buddy.
You gotta do the change!! Works imo so well! I'll check out that channel to watch your bike man. Good luck with your protests!
I like your work and machine.
Thanks
19teeth front made your bike much more cruising friendly I have swaped 16teeth with 18teeth of 500cc of my classic 350 the initial is little bit slow but crusing at 110kmph its much smoother then before
+2 is the same as a 20t on a 500 which i know a few people have done with success!
Bloody awesome, Bewdy mate
Goes really well with the 19t 👍👍
I thought it might good to get confirmation . Regards Peter
Have you tried it with a passenger ? I'm 2 m and 134 kg my classic says hey one at a time whenever I get on it......but less RPM on a longstroke engine is always a good idea just don't want to lug it too much and beat up the rod bearings out of it.
No mate I haven't sorry, I never ride 2 up. My wife has her licence and a couple of bikes so I've not ridden with a passenger. As a torquey bike it should handle +1 on the front and some weight!
Thats exactly what I was planning to do to my bike. Glad that you went before me. :-)
About the tools, I was thinking what you gonna use that hammer for. Ahh now I see...
Do you really need to remove the exhaust system?
And removing the nut on that sprocket, I would just use my impact wrench.
I can see that your bike is using the old chain tension system. Nice that you didn't need to change the chain.
It would have been nice to see where the fuel is cutting off in second, third and fourth gear.
Mine is cutting off at 60 on second, 80 on third and 110 on fourth gear.
Anyway, thanks for the video and the effort you put on this video. Cheers.
Yes you have to remove the exhaust on the classic to get the foot peg off! Which sucks but hey!
I used a breaker bar with a impact bit but impact gun would be fine!
I do what I can when it comes to filming mate, there is a highway test coming out next week, tune in for that!
In all its a great swap, I would recommend it! 👍👍
OK I'm looking forward on that highway test.
FYI, the 2019 models have a 17T sprocket standard, so an 18T upgrade is what Hitchcock's recommend. I could have gone for a 19T (= two tooth upgrade), but that might be a bit excessive for the capabilities of the bike?
For sure, the +2 on mine is the 20t they sell which i imagine would make the bike labour to much!
I've got a 2014 electra in trials trim and it's time to replace the chain and sprocket set, it's got a 17T sprocket, I'm going to put an 18T on it.
I have a 2019 also and have bought both a 18t and 19t , guess I’ll go 18 but tempted to go 19 but maybe to much lug ? Anyone else gone 19t on a late model 500 ?
looked up google maps, what a great rural area Sheffield is - spoilt for choice of nice cruizy back roads.
Yes mate I am, any direction I go from Sheffield there is amazing riding! Can go into the mountains or towards the coast all very easily!
Man that graphite chrome looks damn sexy
Thank you! I love it too!
great stuff! thank you
No worries!
Quite a job swapping the sprocket out, but clearly can see its worth it.
Well done 👏
Thanks mate! Imo it makes a huge difference!
Thanks for this , very helpful 👍
No worries
Love this motorcycle and the mods youve done. Im curious to know if it has lost a little torque from before?
No, none!
@@iRidetas thats encouraging to hear. I might have to get this.
Mmmm love the mods you have made Tas. But not sure on that one lol.have spoken to people who have done it and a lot have changed back as they preferred it standard. I suppose it's what you like!!
It would depend totally on your riding style, highway long open rides yes it's awesome, stop start urban maybe maybe not!!! But agreed each to their own
With a valve and cam job would be rovers testicles for sure!!
He'll yeah I'm costing that out at the moment!!!
So can assume that unlike changing the back sprocket where a link or two might have to be removed, you can keep the same length chain by going up one tooth on the front? What is the red line on one of these? About 5500 to 6000?
Yes, stock chain works no worries!
Thanks for the work you put into making this vid mate!
Still have half the mind on getting a classic 500 here in San Francisco CA.
Looks to fit the bill for city filtering but the higher highway speeds in the Bay are not for the faint of heart (70-95mph).
Would you say that the 19T makes a 250k trip at 100kph-120kph manageable? Once in awhile getaway type of trip
Yeah there is no way it could hold close to 95mph. I'm pretty sure I still couldn't even hit that speed. 70mph it can deal with but holding it for long periods would not be kind on it! But back roads and in town it's fun bike!!
19 teeth... Good luck, Happy Thumping.. Dug.. Dug... Dug..
19t has transformed the bike I love it!
Hi m8, just a quick one, did you encounter any problem with the sprocket tab washer? and was there a seal on the case which needed changing due to the outer case being removed? cheers.
Nah no issue with the tab washer. yes it would need to be replaced with a Gasket or as I used rtv
Wow thanks for your vid it seem a better bike and l was listening to sound of engine not laboured At all must try this l think it’s a bloody good idea thanks
No worries mate, bit time consuming to do but worth it as you said it's a better bike for it!
thanks for the video
No worries!
I love my classic 500 but this bike is so difficult to work on compared to my previous bikes...
The bike is very simple and easy to work on but is cumbersome at times like this to get at stuff
Thanks so much for filming and recording your process! I just had one question, it doesn't look like you needed to swap out the stock chain or the rear sprocket for this 19T front sprocket swap, correct?
Correct! 👍Stock chain used
Hi Fella. I find first gear is too short on my Euro4 C5 (2019). Would going up to a 18t front sprocket give me a taller first? Thanks.
My Euro4 c5 was 18t stock hence why i went 19t id check what you have and then go +1 to start
Hello, I enjoyed the video. I am riding the Royal Enfield Classic 500 in Korea. Does the vibration decrease if I replace it with 19T?
It changes where in the rev range you get vibration
Hi m8, when fitting the new sprocket was there enough slack in the chain? (did you have to wait until it stretched enough to take the larger sprocket) I take it you kept the original chain on and just moved the wheel forward then? cheers
Yup easily enough!
Hi, great video. Do we need to replace engine oil fully everytime we open rh cover for replacing sproket or for any other purpose?
Hey mate, no not fully replace it imo. but you need to at least catch it and put it back in or do a service on it at the same time and put new oil in!
@@iRidetas Thankyou
Thanks for the video. Do you recomend changing the chain as well to a different size?
depends on how many km its done but generally new sprocket new chain yes
@@iRidetas i have done 4500 kms
Hallo there....I'm impressed with your modifications and I'm owner of royal Enfield bullet 500....want to know what short of engine oils you use in your classic 500.
Thanks
Try this video czcams.com/video/GdBaGO8fZf8/video.html
nice one bro...can i get an information about your silencer which you have installed in your bullet...
I've just loved with it's sound...
AEW Goldstar
Sounds like you could have almost gone to a 20 tooth on the front ( I wonder if anyone has). I suppose the rear disc brake models would make things a bit easier to play around with gearing choices. Good job though!
There is a 20t but it needs a slight mod to the case to get it to fit and not touch the chain! The 19t is great imo! Yeah it will be interesting to see what rear sprocket options they have for those Euro 4 bikes with disk on the back! Cheers mate!
Why would the rear disc brake model make things a bit easier? I ask because I have one and intend to do this mod.
The sprocket isnt moulded into the drum brake
Where’s a good place to look for what accessories are available? I absolutely adore this bike, but I don’t think I could get one without a trip meter. The only way I’ve found so far to do that is replacing the speedo with a digital one which goes very against the aesthetics of the bike.
Hitchcocks in the UK!
Trip meter? Just write it down
Isnt that breaker bar meant for a Scania 18 wheeler?? ;)
Lol! Yes 😉
Woa, so much work to get to the sprocket... On my DR 650 Suzuki, a 3 bolt cover and thats it. Interesting video though. Isnt too tall a gearing now ?
Yeah it was the most work ive done for a sprocket!! I feel its perfect gor more open road cruising now!
Hello iridetas I have orderbedrag a 19t sprocket too as I got enthousiastic on you video hoever I opened the right side and to my surprise there was no 18 but 17 tooth sprocket strange as in the manual they talk about 18 't I have a classic 500 2020 I am going to put it on anyway because I think that the torque of the bike Will safe me I don't mind the topspeed
In the euro4 versions , it's 17t default
I just installed a 20 tooth sprocket this drops the RPM from 3600 down to 3200 at 100 km/h or 60 m/h
Nice! Did you have to grind back the casing a bit to fit it?
@@iRidetas yes, there is a section behind the sprocket you have to grind out
A bolt from the cover bolts in to it. Takes only a few minutes to do
Awesome! Must admit a 20t would be cool
Does the vibration reduced at 80-100kmph with 20T sprocket Sir? Did somebody try to minus the rear sprocket & what's the difference. thanks & enjoy.Ride Safe
If you have a look at the moulded hub and rear sprocket get up you'd understand why we change the front. 1 tooth on the front is equal to 3 on the back anyway so is generally a more economical way to make it taller
Please tell me about torque and top speed.

How well does it run in higher altitudes and canyons. Is there any difference in the way the bike pulls.?
Tasmania is all hills and it runs great, plenty of videos on my channel of the bike pulling like a tractor up the hills
Thanks man. Was planing on the sprocket upgrade myself. But mine is an older iron barrel Royal Enfield so was uncertain regarding how well it would do uphill. Happy riding.
I am yet to decide on doing this but a question, does it at all affect the low end torque by replacing to 19 tooth? Thanks!!
No i find the bike is more cruisable and rideable! It is bang for buck the best mod for this bike!
Ah I see. Thank you. Your reviews are helpful
Did you need to buy a longer chain ?
No! 👍
Is a belt drive available for the RE 350 ?
Yes from an indian company but imo it looks questionable quality
which your RE500 ABS or non-ABS ???
Non abs
@@iRidetas thanks, i have cls500 too, Steal Black with rear disk. how to make my RE stronger ???
Royal Enfield Classic 500 Videos: czcams.com/play/PLmVgB9c9_om1fqKV1Q3m4su1jl0-D1hGU.html
@@iRidetas thank you so much
Does it only increase the top speed or also improves the pick up performance?
czcams.com/video/2pLdO1QIPPM/video.html
You will gain top end speed at the cost of acceleration.
What size was the nut that held the front sprocket in place?
46mm
iRidetas thanks!
No worries good luck, its a great mod!
Boa noite! Você pode me ajudar tenho uma classic aqui no Brasil mas os mecânicos não consegue solucionar meu problema a moto desliga e ninguém descobre será que vc sabe o quê pode ser
Top swap for your riding conditions, in the long run fuel efficiency would come into it also i think ? Would you recommend something like this for my Duke, as you know they are high revving engines. Love the pops when letting the revs down on the ride lol. I notice 2 cushions under the knees these days haha... CHEERS m8 : ) ahhh milo 👌👍
I ain't getting younger that's for sure!!! This killed my knees!!! And back!! 😥 made me feel very old! Yeah for the duke I would. Apparently +2 to -2 makes a big difference on the 390s. I have a brand new 43 rear in Orange that's yours totally free if you want it mate. Email me on iridetas@gmail.com and I'll send it across for you if you want it! Enjoy that milo
@@iRidetas i don't know what to say "HELL YEAH" i have a saying if it's for free it's for me, don't ask why just say "THANK YOU " 😁 I have a PO BOX on my about page if that will do. Owe you a box of your fav tea CHEERS m8 👌
Awesome I'll get onto it!!!! Cheers! Glad you want it!
@@iRidetas That will be my first orange extra again thanks m8 : ) No hurry won't be riding for 3-4 months 👍
I'll get it out to you way before then@!
Not such a job compared to doing the same job on 1961 AJS 350. Personally id get a spare casing and cut the rear part off so i wouldn't have to drain the oil.
Sure, but 99% of people would not, and its completely unnecessary, this was a how to install a 19t on a c5 video, not a modify the casing video!
What is the sizes of the socket for removing the front sprocket nut ?
In the description of the video
Thanks got it it's 46mm socket
Has it reduced vibration ?
Yes, moved it into a different part of rev range
How come your bike does not have any tapet noise?
I service it frequently, use high quality oil and have spent a heap of time tunning and messing around with it!
@@iRidetas if you can make a video on how to solve tapet noise issue please.
Hello, I'm a young man using Classic 500 in Korea. I would like to translate the motorcycle inspection and ask you a question. Currently, classic 500 bikes can hear the tappet noise. The noise seems to be terrible. However, I can't hear that sound in your image at all. How do we solve this problem?
Service the bike regularly and use good quality semi synthetic or synthetic oil and keep everything adjusted as per the manual!
I am looking to get the 19 t for my bullet 500 standard, for the carburetted version. I would greatly appreciate your response for two of my questions which are as follow:
#1 Did you have to make any modifications to the chain (did you need a longer chain or was this a direct fit)
# 2 What size is your rear sprocket? How many teeth are on them?
Thanks!
1 - no stock chain
2 - 38t
@@iRidetas Thank you very much! Cheers! All the best❤️
Hi. I'm thinking of doing this and not clear what the standard sprocket tooth count is on a Euro4 C5? Should be the same as yours. So I paused the video and zoomed into the sprocket you'd removed. I counted 19 teeth?! What witchcraft is that 🤔 Anyhow, anyone know for certain what I would be running as standard?
If you put your bike on centre stand and use a torch mate if your careful there is probably enough clearance to mark a tooth and count. I remember seeing this euro4 hoohaa when i was researching my swap.
@@iRidetas thanks for the reply mate. Enjoy your channel, thought the voice over in the diner ride worked well. Thanks.
@@martino4414 Martin, the Euro 4 is a 17T on the Classic 500. I know because I've just changed my 2019 Classic to an 18T. I think we have a 17T because the rear sprocket is different for the disc brakes as opposed to the drum.
Thanks Dick Burn! 👍👍👍
@@yarrarangesroyalenfield7396 Did you get the same results as shown in this video?
Any difference in top maximum speed ?
Minimal but cruises so much better!
Hey mate. What size nut is on the sprocket spline? Looks huge
It's in the description of the vid
Think its 46mm but it's there in the description mate
@@iRidetas cheers mate. I just went and grabbed one.
I really love your vids. They are a really great resource. Ive got a 2020 Battle Green 500. Made a new seat from scratch, and going through mods like the 19t sprocket with your help.
Im chucking on a new chain as well.
Awesome sounds like a great bike! Take care mate!
Hi mate
Do you need 46mm drive socket to remove the front sprocket bolt ? I have the 2020 model and doing the same mods
Yes
could you confirm the Hitchcocks part number for that sprocket as 92722/19. Cheers...
over 2 years ago and 4 different bikes in the time modified so your going to have to google that one yourself mate! 👍👍
@@iRidetas yeah cheers. the bike is new to me... Hitchcocks refers to different chain and final drive sprockets so I'll get on to then direct.
Hi! I have a classic 350. Would this mod be helpful for me? I do a lot of Riding in the mountains of southern Philippines
Yes i have a friend who has sprocket swapped a 350 and loves it!
iRidetas thank you very much!
+1 tooth front sproket
topspeed with new sprocket?
136ish
How would this cope with a pillion?
Fine
What are the changes you note when the sprocket is changed...
czcams.com/video/2pLdO1QIPPM/video.html
Hi, could you kindly tell me what’s the size of that giant nut holding the sprocket?
Info is in the description! 👍46mm
Ktoś wie gdzie moge kupić taki zbiornik paliwa chromowany oryginalny do Bullet 500?
I typed it into ebay and several came up!!!
Tak ale takiego nie widziałem.
a lot of work. it is what the bike needs, however... esp here in the United States... 65mph for any distance is punishing on this bike. I'd think that this and the Carberry anti vibration plate would be a good combo.... Your exhaust is obviously non-standard.
Yup, overly complex to get it on but worth it! The next video in the sequence is a highway test if you want to check it out. Imo it does a lot better! I'd love to review a carberry vibration reduction plate, but haven't got there yet due to other projects but I'm sure it would help! Exhaust is AEW there is a video on that too if your interested!
@@iRidetas Great! keep the videos coming. Sad thing is, putting the plate on would have been easy when you had the case off.. that looks like 90% of the work...that and dealing with chain tension. look forward to seeing more.
Yeah it would have been the perfect time, but I'd just bought the powertronic to install so was a bit strapped! Glad your enjoying the vids, have plenty more planned!! Cheers
@@iRidetas Hey, something happened today. Months ago I wanted to get a Carberry anti vibration plate, I tried to get it from Hitchcocks but it was out of stock.. I found one on the Carberry site in India and ordered it. Months went by with no word.. customer service was lame. Hitchcock got them back in stock and I ordered one. .. it arrived in 2 weeks. Well, today the one I ordered from India arrived. So now I have 2 of the damned things. I haven't put my own plate on, rather daunted by the process... but if you want one on Doug, I could send you the spare. .. free of charge... consider it an investment in an educational video. I'll need an address to send it to, however. EMail me if you like at .. harp4peace@live.com
Wow 😮😮😮 thanks i have sent an email! Thanks Steve!
What is the socket bit size for removing front sprocket
In the description!
good night, my name is George, I live in Brazil. I would like to know where I can buy this 19t sprocket for Royal enfield classic 500 year 2017 with ABS.
Its in the video, description and title mate! Hitchcocks
How many tooth was the stock sprocket?
18t
@@iRidetas Thanks a lot, planned to replace it too.. thanks for the video, it really helps a lot.
Hey 👋, how do you know what RPM is it doing

Oh and did you need a new gasket on the transmission cover?
I used silicon gasket but it would pay to have one on hand they are delicate for sure
@@iRidetas yes that was my question. your videos will never be out dated ,great info ,thanks terry NQ
can you tell the talk on the re tightening of the 46m please or does it not matter.
I didn't use a torque wrench just used tight plus a quarter so good and tight and then it has the bend up style lock washer to lock it in place! I think from memory it's 80 n/m or 60lbs torque but don't quote me!
definitely a lot of work
Compared to other bikes it was a real pain to do! Thanks always for dropping by and leaving your positivity! 😀
Beside draining the oil and pushing the rear wheel forward, removing the kickstart, removing the exhaust is unnecessary, you loosen the right front peg and tilt it either forward or back and the side cover can be removed.
Yes and compared to say an xv250 with 2 allen bolts and the sprocket cover is off a fair bit more work. As i mentioned in the video mate...i coudnt get enough clearance by tilting it forward, believe me i tried so i had to take the exhaust off!
iRidetas At no point was i being critical of how you did the work, must have missed the part where you mentioned there wasn't enough clearance. Great video series 👍👍
Cheers mate, its also best bang for buck change ive made to the bike!
Guys i have 2017 model... Will this suits the bike.. actually changing of 19t sprocket what's the uses pls tell me... I have classic 500... Pls reply guys
If you watch the video mate and this one you will understand its use! czcams.com/video/2pLdO1QIPPM/video.html
@@iRidetas bro after changing is there any mileage drop... Bro i have classic india make... Classic 500...
Bro...No idea, I dont monitor mileage. Couldnt care less about a few cents per tank, for me its about enjoyment and rideability
Hey :)
Did you use any sealant or gasket to close the crank case cover?
Watch the video mate, its all there

Royal Enfield Classic 500 Videos: czcams.com/play/PLmVgB9c9_om1fqKV1Q3m4su1jl0-D1hGU.html check out the 19t test ride on thd highway videos, they answer your questions
You wouldn't want to pay your dealer to do this mod. Would cost a shitload in labour costs.
Oh shit yeah it would be a fortune!
