Hi Paul, thanks. I used stainless steel precision shims – 0.3mm thick, from a set I have. Sets are cheap and available on eBay. I packed up behind the lever, on the shaft, and took all play out. The difference is huge.

Loved your YouTube review! If not too much trouble can you send me a pic of your gear lever shim? I assume you used washers? I have a brand new intetceptor too and noticed the play in the gear shift which requires thought and firmness or you can miss and go false neutral.

In reply to John Marshall. Hi John, you are right. We will have to go for a ride on the Street and the Interceptor.

Hi Jeff,
Hi Jeff, I can understand you buying the Royal Enfield, that type of Classic/Retro bike can be very enjoyable to ride and own and nowadays they are well engineered and well put together. As you say you will still be riding and testing sports bikes and many others so it’s the best of both worlds.

I bought a 2017 Triumph Street Twin about 21 months ago, I have now done 21,000 km on it and find it to be great fun and that’s what it is all about. I still have my Suzuki GSX R1000 and Kawasaki ZZR 600 and love them all.

John Marshall.
