- Part 2 of the Race Dynamics Powertronic install on the Royal Enfield Classic 500 with a road test of both Map 1 and Map 2
I’m amazed at how well that little bike sings. It sounds great!
Thanks, sounds amazing when your riding it
Some Indian things .😊
If you visit India by any chance must visit Punjab you will definitely be hearing what the actual loudness if RE is ❤
They have heavy sound , basy sound loud sound everything that you'll surely enjoy
"The smile factor has just gone up" says it all m8. Power in the middle range of acceleration i believe is more important as it is the most used in normal riding conditions. Dug definitely sounds better, soon as you took off the sound was noticeable. Need another milo & stoke the fire, stay warm down there. CHEERS m8 : )☕👌
👍 I couldn't agree more, this bike is never going to be a dyno queen so power in th ed mid range is where it should be and there was a big improvement there, particularly in map 2! Thanks again mate! Enjoy your Milo *takes swig of tea!
Great video! I love my 2017 Classic 500, and actually, I love it just plain stock! That is the beauty of these bikes. It's lovely as is, or you can do all kinds of things to it!
So true mate, I just love messing with stuff and experimenting but I love this bike stock and then the stuff just is the icing! Cheers
I do recommend the Art of Motorcycles Handlebar and 19 tooth sprocket change
OK you've convinced me. I've already added the K&N filter and shorty exhaust to my C5 (also green chrome). Nice result. More pull out of the corners, and no popping from the exhaust during decel. 19 tooth sprocket comes this weekend. Then it's the Powertronic unit. Thanks for the useful vids. Subbed.
No worries mate it's all coming together now and running really well!
Bloody lovely video, mate! You actually passed TWO vehicles. That's busy!
Map Two is where it's at, clearly. I loved the sound of that RE and those roads are to die for. Great video 👍👍
Thanks mate! Yeah it's always so nice with no cars and such great roads. I live riding here, just wish there was a bit more motorcycle culture but the population is z bit small
si, exactly, y no se atraviesa ningún canguro!!!
They are active at night!
Well done Tas.might have to save a few quid lol!!. Seems there is a big improvement!. Just blown the head gasket on mine lol!. Maybe 19 tooth sprocket after all. Look forward to seeing what else you have in mind for sure. Many thanks.
No worries mate, sorry to hear about your bike and hopefully you get it back on the road soon, have a few more things planned for Doug!
Thanks for all your videos and enthusiasm for RE and motorcycling in general. I try and ride Tassie every year if i can and i cant place where you live, i,m guessing in the north somewhere. I,m on my second RE, my first was a c5 classic now i have a conti 650. Love it!!! Thanks again
My pleasure! Im in Sheffield mate! Its a little town between devonport on the way to cradle mt. Ive ridden the 650s and they are great bikes, enjoy! 😀
Love to see you👍👍.... From India. 🇮🇳.........
Thanks!
That's one sweet sounding bike! Been going back an forward between getting a classic an a Himalayan
It doea sound great. I love the look of the classic!
You can easily say that this is a mission accomplished. Mid range is the best, as that’s where you’re going to spend more time in. Ride safe mate.
Thanks 😀 I agree mid range is where it's at and this smoothes out and gives more midrange power by 4 to 5 up which doesn't sound like a lot but it's a 27hp bike! 😀😀
Feels and sounds even better just from where I'm sitting.
Thanks, I was so impressed at the difference particularly on map 2!
Thanks for all the pioneering work! My 2019 Bullet has been misfiring in midrange from new, lacks power, seems too lean...it looks like this is the cure.
And the gorgeous Tasman scenery is the icing on the cake. Cheers
Cheers mate glad it helps! 😊 The powertronic works a treat!
Seems like a worthwhile upgrade. You seem to have a great microphone etc because you can hear the sound of ypur bike better than any other site I've been on. Looks like you're in motorcycle heaven over there a bit like Cumbria over here in the UK.
I'm super happy with the audio setup I have at the moment, the bike sounds great through it! You mate aren't the first to compare to the Cumbria area and Tasmania. I'll have to get over there and check it out! Cheers mate!
Looks like it's a huge difference Iride. I thought I'd mistakenly switched to Marc Marquez's channel when you took off over the Gog, you're flying now mate :), well done
Haha just needed to test it in the upper range 🤣😉 cheers mate I'm pretty happy with the difference!
Great informative video cheers
No worries
Hi, I think your bike sounds absolutely awesome. You've had to judge the microphone for filming, I guess. Does the Goldstar pipe sound as good in your helmet?
Thanks, i think it sounds better! 😊
I've heard that these tunes work wonders for these bikes. Might add one to the 535 eventually
I would reccomend one as it really seems to have given real world mid range power increase and is much more smooth! Pricey but worth it!
@@iRidetas sounds like a worthwhile investment! Do you suggest the race dynamics or the power commander?
Race Dynamics is half the price here in Australia and seems to work great! I haven't directly compared both on the same bike but the powertronic has more features at a lower price! My 2c
Sounds great, feels amazing! Now that the Stage-1 of modifications is finally completed, what else do you have in your mind? Of the extremes, I can suggest a big bore 535cc but that's a tad bit too early for dug! Regards!
Haha stage one not completed yet!!! long term a hitchcocks performance kit would be nice!
Looks and sounds brilliant Tas, but curious did you try the TPS trick? (where you adjust the tps to 8v to increase fueling)? Thanks for uploading!
Thanks and No, with a piggy back ecu there would be no need mate!
@@iRidetas But one is a free fix and the other a $400 fix. Although I do get it that a PowerCommander or Powertronic should be a better mod overall (although I won't pretend to know what other variables other than fuel are adjusted by either (if any))... If it's that good, and others are happy then it looks like a sound investment! Thanks again.
The powertronic is a feedback loop that monitors a number of sensors and changes the fueling up and down as well as timing, tps etc. Etc. The TPS adjustment is free but the powertronic comes with dyno sheets thats shows increased power through the rev range. I always had plans of running quite a few mods and im glad i have the flexibility of the infinant adjustability of the powertronic. I am not disapointed!
Dug Sounds great. And that low rev, low speed jerkiness is wicked annoying, hard to ride smooth ... getting rid of that would be worth the price of admission.
Haha see you've found the test ride vid!! It just improves the bike for sure!
Hey buddy.. Nice videos and explanation. I have to ask.? Will powertronic be addeded into bullet standard 350CC.? < Indian model.?
Hey mate thanks! The powertronic works only with EFI so if they run EFI 350cc singles in the indian market then im sure powertronic will look at. Bottom line is im in Australia so dont know. PT are also aftermarket so id contact them
Sold. I’m getting one.
Mine is still going strong
It seems like any new bike with fuel injection needs some type of tuner. The regulation bikes come out of the factory with is terribly restrictive. Even my 450 has a chip and tuner.
Tjey do run so lean dont they, that duke 390 was very choppy from the factory! They only want to meet emmisions ride seems very secondary at the moment!!
sounds good. I was surprised to find out that Yamaha SR400 makes more HP on dyno then GT 535. Have you ridden Sr400?
I haven't actually, that does surprise me I thought they were pretty under powered! Very cool bike though!
@@iRidetas I watched the classic bike shootout, between two of them and Suzuki tu250. It was quite surprising, esp since gt535 is even bigger engine. Apparently, 0-100 sr400 won an well.
Tu250x is a nice little bike too!
That exhaust note sounds dead proper. I'm familiar with that but my old GoPro has the world's worst microphone. What are you recording with?
I heard some decel popping with Map 2. With the Power Commander that can be reduced by shutting of the injector completely when you shut the throttle at higher revs. I don't know if the Powertronic lets you do that.
Gopro 5, mymyk and a dead cat wind muffler, I'm real happy with the quality! Thanks I'm now running a better map which removes the decel pop but I'll check if I can shut the injector! Cheers
@@iRidetas do research Power Commander and decel popping, there's stuff out there, common problem with injectors. I shut the injector off at zero throttle and high revs (modified mapping), it comes back on lower down. I can induce a very fruity bang by opening the throttle slightly and closing it again for passing under bridges. There's a beaut of a railway bridge in the middle of Pangbourne (England), have to be a bit careful in case they think it's a bloody maniac.
My cam is a GoPro Hero LCD+, no mic socket, and bad stabilisation. I shall have to try the dead kitten mike on my PCM recorder again, but there again I don't like doing a lot of video editing.
Mate I'll check that out, it will hopefully be a feature of the powertronic. Lol I live in a pretty rural area and there isn't a lot of over passes but I love the reverb sound coming back at me when I ride through a town! 😀
its amazing what the different map settings do
Yup Outie it makes such big difference! If it wasn't for emissions we would get this sort of tuning stock I imagine!
Am from india and i own a re 500 by watching this vid i need to do the same thing to my bullet!
Here are the videos of the mods ive done mate!
czcams.com/play/PLmVgB9c9_om0AGJrzIv3oOAzvEBUmWNWu.html
Tas, do you know if the powertronic unit from gt 535 can be used on classic 500 (with 500s software of course)?
I dont know 100% but it would have all same connectors, would just need 500 map i reckon
nice exhaust sound, what exhaust have you got on, can you share the links?
AEW Goldstar!
Is that the original exhaust? Great sound!!!
AEW goldstar
Did you install the air injection delete kit when you replaced the exhaust?
Euro 3 doesn't require it
Alright did the efi silencer and pulled the baffle. K&N and Power-commander V from Hitchcock’s that is mapped for that. What a difference. The mid range is a definite improvement... now, I am thinking of the 91092 rounded exhaust pipe to go with this combo... thoughts????
Your choice mate, i would personally go a light weight exhaust. I love my AEW
@@iRidetas well it’s not heavy by any means. I was asking about the header pipe coming out of the engine to the silencer. What do you think about that?
I didnt bother personally!
@@iRidetas gotcha! Having a cutting out issue at speed which is intermittent. I did not replace the relays after the PCV install. Do you think this could be the problem? The fuel pump relay is hot to touch...
Could be, powertronic comes with relays. Could be worth swapping them
The bikes sounds good , does it give less MPG
Dont know, doesnt worry me if it does!
Sir you're from which country?
Australia
Just got the powertronics to go with my Hitchcock’s EFI silencer and K&N. Do you have any idea how much this nets on the Dyno? Also want to change to a Hitchcock’s rounded exhaust pipe.
I believe its about 3 to 4 hp but not 100% its noticeable
@@iRidetas thanks for the reply bud. I am subbed and watch your videos often.
Thanks
exhaust + ecu + air filter, what do you get in term of hp and top speed?
A better, faster, smoother more cruiseable bike! Never dyno'd it
Bro after increaseing the power how much top speed u achieved🙄
140ish
This mush top speed i have also obtained in my classic stealth black 500 but there a new update from the company of increasing rpm so am getting its rpm unloked and speed lock to reach tha max.😗🔥👌
Im not sure what your asking mate?? The rev limiter is already increased 500rpm with the powertronic, but peak power is not made at the top of rev range with a high torque low hp bike like the RE. Bike is limited by areodynsmics, gearing, weight, rider weight etc. Etc. Etc. Ny 0-100 time is about 2 seconds quicker than stock
czcams.com/video/krkJ9uAs_IE/video.html
I just got it a year back and i am 15 learning a thing or too, looks like ur really into bikes and have detail knowledge of the things, i am beginner and will take me real good time to match upto ur level.
Hp ? From both maps ?
No idea, havent dynod it powertronic claim +3:or 4hp in the midrange which feels about right
What is the top speed of re 500 after remapping stage 3
140 ish just gets there a fair bit quicker!
IMO the big sprocket and that great soundin pipe made him a happy little long rod tractor...........Sustained RPM's are NOT your friend. 400 is damn near 10 percent of the cost of the bike and if ya got 10 percent more HP Thats 2.7. I can still hear my old man sayin you can only stretch a rubber band tot its limit so many times. Have fun with yer bike but it is what it is.
And ya can't polish a turd.
Imo it's done a great job of cleaning up the mid range. I'm not trying to make it a sport bike but it's tuned very lean from the factory to meet emmisions and this seems to make it run smoother and definitely richer which long term will be better for it. I agree with ya 100% that ya can't polish a turd but this imo is polishing a rough diamond! Agreed this mod is not for every one but I think it's a good mod! Cheers
You may not be able to polish a turd, but as some brands continually prove, you can certainly roll them in glitter.
Doug is no turd.
Top speed
Hi I have the same bike as yours mine is CL500 2018 model with powertronics piggyback ECU, i get a lot of backfire when deaccelerating i tried reaching out to them and explaining my situation but strangely for me they said their MAP is only for the stock bike, i am runnning with K and N filter with a free flow exhaust, I would be very grateful to you could share the MAP with me
Sorry mate, ive spent a lot of time tuning my bike and parts of my map since then. Im not giving it out. Its something you need to take up with powertronic
