Bad Winners Introduce A DIY Custom Kit For Royal Enfield 650s

If you are looking for a new hobby at home and coincidentally owned a Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor of the Continental GT, you might want to check out Bad Winners DIY custom kit.

The project actually started back in 2019 when Royal Enfield commissioned Bad Winners to build a one-off custom motorcycle.

The result was well-received by RE; hence, Bad Winners decided to continue with the project and create a kit that owners could easily install at home.

The DIY kit consists of:

custom-style leather seat
custom mudguard
custom plate holder
custom rear light
shorter 5cm subframe
custom handlebars with simplified controls
Motogadget speedometer
Oberon mirrors
Koso headlight

However, owners who want that extra power boost can also opt for new pipes and air filters by S&S Cycles, including a Power Commander pre-made mapping.

Bad Winners also offers a YSS fork kit and three different options for the rear twin shocks.

Four DIY kits are available for the Royal Enfield 650s with the price starts from GBP430 (RM2.4k) to GBP2,900 (RM16k) which you can access HERE.

MotoGP: Chinese Carburettor And Fuel Injection Company Joins Gresini As Sponsor For 2022

Gresini Racing has announced YOUALL as one of the team latest sponsors for its new 2022 Ducati MotoGP project.

The Chinese carburettor and a fuel injection manufacturer is no stranger to Gresini as they have been working together in Moto3.

“We have been enjoying a partnership with YOUALL in our Moto3 venture for four years already, and when the move to the premier-class became available, they were amongst the first ones to pick it up,” said Carlo Merlini, Commercial and Marketing Director of Gresini Racing.

Meanwhile, Edison Li, Fujian CEO Youli Carburettor Co. Lts shared his excitement over the collaboration.

“The collaboration between YOUALL and Gresini Racing enters its fifth year and, for the 2022 season, we wanted to take a further step forward with the leap into the premier class.

“I am very excited for this new project and we are very confident both in our drivers and with the team! As part of the Gresini Family we are ready for this new challenge,” he added.

Gresini Racing also previously announced Flex-Box as the title sponsor for the 2022 season.

Flex-Box Gresini MotoGP team marks the start of something fresh after spending the last seven seasons with Aprilia.

The team set to compete in next season MotoGP campaign with Enea Bastianini and Fabio di Giannantonio onboard the GP21 Desmosedici.

Aprilia To Issue A Worldwide Recall For The RS660 And Tuono 660

Aprilia set to issue a worldwide recall for the RS660 and Tuono 660 after identifying a batch of poorly installed connecting rods.

The connecting rods were not manufactured according to the Noale factory specifications, which could result in an engine failure.

A case was submitted to the United States traffic safety authority National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) whereby a connecting rod on an Aprilia RS660 got torn off after clocking 2,300 kilometres.

As a precaution, the Italian motorcycle company has decided to replace the entire engine, including renewing the factory warranty.

It is estimated that around 700 units (including RS660 and Tuono 660) worldwide are affected by the recall.

Honda Working On A Turbocharge CRF1100L Africa Twin?

A new patent suggests Honda is developing a powerful version of the Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin.

According to the documents, Honda tweaks the twin-engine in order to fit in a turbocharger in the form of a twin-screw compressor.

The concept is similar to the supercharger found on the Kawasaki H2/Z H2; however, Honda is developing a turbocharge that offers more torque in the lower end, thus improve the Africa Twin touring capabilities.

The patent shows that the compressor is mounted above the gearbox and would use two injectors for each cylinder.

We can safely assume the turbocharger will allow the Africa Twin to produce a higher power than the current 98hp @ 7,500rpm and 103Nm @ 6,000rpm available from the 1,083cc twin-cylinder engine.

While the latest patent may make us feel excited, the Japanese manufacturer is more likely to introduce a smaller version of the Africa Twin in the form of the revived Transalp rumoured to make its appearance this year EICMA.
