- In this video I've tried to list down some issues or quirks I've experienced as an owner of Interceptor 650. Now I absolutely love this bike but just like anything else in this world even this bike isn't perfect and I'm being practical here.
Do let me know if you agree with these points.

Arey koi nahi, India se bahar nahi jane diya tumne Mana ko 😄😄

After how many kms the handle bar wobble issue started,?....after ladakh trip
@@TheTwinPost after how many kms the handle wobbling started...after ladakh trip?
Handlebar wobbling issue existed even before Ladakh ride...but it used to happen after 80 kmph....but since I've got Handlebar risers installed this issue has started happening after 50 kmph.
My friend who also owns a Interceptor has this issue as well...and his bike is just 4 months old.
handle bar wobbling problem is due to the spokes alignment in your wheels, just go to a tyre shop and ask them to align your spokes, the wobbling will go.
Loved the puppy in your video❤️. One thing fuel gauge is a main problem of RE. Have been using RE for past 7.5 years. Got TB 350X 3 years back from Classic. The fuel gauge is an issue, doesn't give a proper reading. I planned to buy interceptor, due to pillion discomfort, still now I am in the thinking phase 😂. Very informative video.
Well covered. Overall a magnificent bike from RE and affordable. I also ride 1989 model 350 bullet.
Gonna get bar end mirrors. And thanks for the heads up on wobble. I'll check it out first thing when I get delivery of the bike. Some people say tightening the spokes and checking air pressure fixes it. Some other say it's a wide known issue, so some dealers swap them out for other tyres without a fuss. I don't know if they would do so in India, but will try.
Handle bar shaking problem is very common in Royal Enfield there are few points u can check to fix it 1.tyre pressure 2. Check con set is it ok maybe to tight or loose 3.front wheel alignment 4. Front suspension alignment due to this your front brake pads keeps touching your disc. Now ur rear wheel bobbling only a good quality mag wheels can fix it the stock wheels can't handle the weight n speed of intercptor if you still want to stick to spoke wheels u need to tighten up the spokes every month I think that's a impossible task
Loved watching puppy in the video. BTW, great content. Keep it going
Very well covered. Absolutely to the point. And valuable technical issues 👍🏼
Thankyou for the support Raja 😊
Sir, very informational video. I appreviate your efforts and keep on working like this.
I expect to see more such videos on interceptor 650
Hi Shubham...thankyou for the support 😊
Will try to post useful content for sure 👍
Great video
You really expresses the real situation demerits
Great video. Really enjoyed. Very informative, without any BS
Hi Arun... thankyou for the kind words 😊
Very useful video not just for the buyers, but also for the manufacturer.
I hope this video reaches Royal Enfield so that their next gen bike will be a much more improved version..
Hi, this is Bijit from Guwahati, Assam. I have been following you since your first video as I am planning to go for an Interceptor soon. I love your content. Plain & simple. Keep up the excellent work. Expecting more videos on Interceptor soon. Cheers 👍
Hello Bijit... thankyou for the support and kind words 😊
Would love to ride my Interceptor in Assam one day...cheers 👍
@@TheTwinPost It would be my pleasure to host you 🙏. Do visit. 😊
Wobling can be solved by tightening spokes and wheel alignment or by changing front wheel baring
Very informative. Thanks bro!
Whobble happens due to the super soft front suspension! Make it a bit hard.. switch out the springs and it will reduce a lot.. Or get a steering damper!
Yes GT 650 has a stiffer front suspension
I've taken it to 155 and it doesn't wobble
no, it's due to an issue with the front cone bearing. If replaced by RE will definitely fix the issue. Has happened with a lot of people.
Please check your coneset my wobling is gone after replacing it.
Have the BS6 version. Thankfully, none of these issues I have. On long rides the seat also doesn't bother so much. Heard that they made it firmer compared to earlier versions. Anyways, I have two seats. Stock for city and a custom seat for touring. All is well with this beauty as far as I am concerned.
That's good to hear.... Even my friend's BS-6 have not shown any such issues though he has just completed 1k kilometres.
We do have one more BS-4 Interceptor which is running fine without any major issues @5k+ kms.
I felt the need to customise the stock seat only after I did the Ladakh ride... Our long rides consists of days when we ride for 17 hrs too.... otherwise for city usage and usual 150-200 kms rides this seat is just fine.
Is there any wobbling issue in front wheel in bs6 version??
Nope...not at all.
@@TheTwinPost thanks a lot! Checking your content from few days. Its really good! Keep going! 💯❤
@@TheTwinPost wanted to know that is interceptor good for long rides! And does its engine feel stressed out while cruising 120-150 kmph?
Sub'd to your channel. Quite precise and to the point and no unnecessary music.
As for the front Tyre wobble, try changing the fork oil. I've read on some forums that if you change the oil from 5W to 7W, that'll help and maintain that with the Tyre pressure. A few errors here and there and you'll get it solved.
That's the first time anyone has ever told me to experiment with the fork oil. Will definitely try that out.
Thanks for the support man 👍
@@TheTwinPost RE uses a low grade fork oil. Upgrading it to a 7W will definitely help. Cheers for the future rides 🌠
Very informative!!!
Very informative especially the wobble from front tyre and ECU version 👍
Hi Lik... thankyou for the support
The Twin Post infact I’m planning for this twin,your dedication to the point videos are all good about this bike keep it up👍
Appreciate all important points about Interceptor motor bike.
Regards
Ver neat presentation n clear audio.. very good content n video bro.. keep growing
Hi Sandeep .... thankyou for the support 😊
Thank you man appreciate for the video
Whoble issue of handle and wheel. Please take out some solutions
knowledgeable for me ...bcoz I'm going to buy interceptor...thank you sir
I'm glad it helped you in any way whatsoever.... One thing is that this bike is that I absolutely love it...and it justified the money I paid for it.
Well covered. Overall a magnificent bike from RE and affordable.
Absolutely sir
Hope RE notices this video and takes corrective actions. Thanks twin post 👍🏼
Good points ....
- I have a GT650, I have experienced no wobbles. Everytime you get a puncture repaired get the wheel balancing done as these rims are weight balanced. Note the small weights on your rim. Also if you want you can get a sealant done on your spokes which then eliminates the need of a tube.
Hi Rohit...thank you for your suggestions.
I am planning to get the sealant for the tyres becuase getting pictures repaired on this bike is pain. Plus I am gonna get the ball racers checked as well, alignment checking + weights will need to be checked.
Will see if this issue still remains after all that.
Well done, keep it up
M watching dis video of urs 3rd time.. just to clear things in my mind tht this in not d one I should go for!! Every time I watch this video whenever I urge to buy most inexpensive twin engine available in market.
If you think it's not the bike for you then you should definitely not go for it...it's your money and you should use it the way you feel is best for you.
Where have you been buddy. I loved your videos on interceptor as I too have a continental gt 650.
For vowel, check your spokes. After seeing your video I can clearly say do check Spoke tension ASAP.
for hi-speed wobble
kindly add 2-3 clicks of preload on the rear shock(considering stock preload is zero preload settings)
it should reduce the wobble between 150-160kms speed (the method is to set for total sag same for front and rear )
on handled bar shaking at 70kms (now at 50kms) I guess should be the front tyre or front tyre is not balanced (for spoked wheels there is wheel balancing weights but it's limited to very few tyre shops)... try getting it balanced on new tyre since balancing old tyre is of no benefit.
That's more than helpful... Good to hear stuff from someone who seems to know what he's talking about.
Cheers 👍
Thanks for the video..i wil continue with my 350 rather than more stress @ twice the cost !
Hi Ajay... It's about personal preference.
As a bike... 650 costs alot more than 350... But what you get is alot more than the price difference.
the real issues covered in simple and no nonsence manner........keep posting bro.....
Hi Dibyanshu .... thanks for the support 😊
Sir Badi khushi hui ki apne "wobble" bola varna ye mechanic, puncture repair ,aur public ne bubbling bol bol ke dimag kharab ker rkha hai .even pade likhe mere dost ,english medium school se pade bhi bubbling hi bolte hai.
Dil ko sukoon aya sahi pronunciation sun ke
🤣🤣😂😂😂 True bhai....even mene zadatar sabhi se 'bubbling' suna hai... Or jab me wobble kehta hu to bolte hain *kya..achha bubbling?* 😂
Dil ko sukoon to bhai aapka comment padhke bhi aaya....kyuki zadatar log pronunciation ko *Pro-nounciation* kehte hain 😅
Very honest review. . Keep rocking brother
Hi there.... Thanks for the support and kind words 😊
The wobbling of handlebar is due to the handle ball bearing. Replace the bearing. And the rear tyre wobble can also be resisted if you carry a co rider
Well yes..rear tyre wobble doesn't happen when I'm riding with a pillion.
I'll get the ball bearings replaced 👍
For the handlebar wobble you can try adjusting the handlebar ball racers.... it's actually a trial & error method ....you loosen or tighten a bit & try out high speeds. This is how I got it done. Handle bar wooble may also happen due to excees luggage while touring & also due to incorrect tyre pressure. Apart from that the fuel meter is really just a show piece on this bike & as you rightly observed the only way in long rides is to keep tab of the distance covered. I usually start looking for a petrol pump once I have done 210/220kms.
Wobbling issue that I showed in this video was right after I got a fuel top up + tyre pressure checked and I was riding alone without any luggage at all.
I would try out the ball-racer adjustment you suggested for sure ... thankyou 👍
@@TheTwinPost I discovered this handle bar wobbling issue during my very first long ride to Darjeeling from Kolkata. At that time I thought it was probably because of the heavy luggage & pillion as my wife had also joined me for the ride. However, to my surprise later I found that the issue was there even without luggage & after quite a few experiments like checking the wheels for any loose spokes & trying different tyre pressure , finally it got sorted out with adjusting the ball racers a few times.
Hmm... interesting...I encountered something similar as well... The high-speed wobbling issue only happened with me when I rode alone...once on the expressway I did 150+ with a pillion rider and the rear tyre never wobbled.
Brilliant video
Very nice video. Every problem faced by you are genuine. Excellent video. How did you mount the himalayan fairing. It is looking quite nice
Great that you recognised it's a Himalayan screen. Please watch the scond video of my channel (there are only 7 videos)... I've explained entire process there 😊
Thanks for sharing valuable information, More over the maneuverability if this bike is very hard and even after a short drive the one gets the heavy handleness of the bike. One can't drive through slow moving traffic.
Yes if you find it hard to handle in slow moving traffic then obviously it's not suitable for you. I myself found all the single-cylinder range of RE comparatively harder to handle in slow moving traffic.
@@TheTwinPost can understand ur situation. Never mind I an using 82 model classic and never felt the way you are telling. One must share all the positives and negatives as well.
@@TheTwinPost Just shared one of the problem I encountered with, so did I shared.
I totally get your point.... One of my friends test rode my Interceptor and found the positioning of the footpegs troublesome. It was hitting his shins whenever he tried to move the bike in parking situation... He's 5'6 and I never encountered this issue becuase I'm a little taller... 5'11.5.
Simple answer to wobble
1 change the front suspension to upside down
Or
2 at high speed grab ure tank tight narrow your elbows it wont wobble
Fitting USD would be way more expensive i think😅
Bro check ua wheel alignment once . I had the same issue now not there after fix rim alignment. Seat comfort problem there but bucket seat ll spoil vehicle looks
- Get a touring seat from RE.
Hello. Saw your video along with many others because I am planning to buy an Interceptor. Also read various comments with suggestions on remedying the wobble. May I request you to please post a video with solutions for all issues highlighted by you, especially rear tyre changing, tubeless tyres and wobbling problem. It would be appreciable if you can provide information on custom solutions to these from the OEM, Royal Enfield.
Must have seen 10-12 videos including those of British and Australian owners, found your content and delivery the best. All the best!
Thank you for the kind words and support man....means a lot.
Will definitely bring an update video after I'm able to find a fix for the issues that I mentioned.
Cheers 👍
@@TheTwinPostGood video bhai. Waiting for your next video on solutions. Stay safe.
What according to is solution for rear tyre as it is a tube tyre? Any suggestions or recommendation!!
Hi there... Simplest solution would be alloy wheels but since RE hasn't officially launched one for the 650 (never trust aftermarket alloys) the next expensive option would be Outex which costs around 14k rupees. A cheaper option is (Way2Speed) industrial glue which can be applied inside the spoke rims and make it tubeless.
I don't think anything irritates me as much as the front footpeg ...... But as you said , I have learnt to live with it
This particular thing is something that hasn't bothered me personally.... I'm 5'11 (181cms) with longer legs than torso so maybe that's the reason I've never encountered this as an issue.
But yes I've met many 650 riders who have been facing this issue.
@@TheTwinPost That maybe true ....... I'm 5'8 and this was a problem which kept irritating me initially .
Handlebar wobble can be removed by Upgrading to a wide section tyre. Its common issue with few Ninja 300 and FZ25. Once you get a better tyre, it will be sorted. I have tried it on my FZ250 and it 100% works
With fz250? Are you serious never faced such kind of problem even my friend has one and he also never faced it .I think the model you bought was defected and mind you i still have my stock tyres on my fz25
@@aavejshaikh1147 Sir I run a FZ25 owner group with 200 member. I can invite you also to be added if you own one. Also you can check my review on FZ25 on Rushlane website. Its common issue for most of FZ25 owner.
Sir, I have GT650, I'm a rider, very useful video, thanks for the video, it's really interesting.
Hi Sunmeet...glad you liked it.
Thankyou for the support 😊
I too have a interceptor ravishing red and gt dr mahem I dnt have any wobble issue at all ,I always ride fast to 120km to 150km coz I have 6 track roads near my house
Bro windblast bhi bohot hai isme ,custom fairing lagna padta hai .
Video mast hai bro !
Excellent👍👍
Wow man soo detailed.
Thankyou for the support Arpit 😊
hi @twin post. where did you get the seat from? plz give info
Hi Nishant, please watch the third video on my channel - I have explained everything related to the seat I've put on my Interceptor.
Hello bhai ...I want to upgrade my meteor suspension with the interceptor...rear suspension...as ur bike is interceptor bike ...u know how the performance of the suspension is....as they are costing me around 13000 ...I am in a doubt ....is it worth changing...or I go with classic nitrox suspension...
Pls bhai reply to this as so I am facing so much problem with meteor stock suspension...
Try checking for rim alignment once if it helps you!
What about rider and pillion footpeg positioning??
I personally never experienced any problems with the rider footpegs... I'm not too tall though but taller than an avg rider (I'm 5'11.5 ). Footpegs never hit my shin or anything.
Pillion footpegs in stock condition are a bit too high up (becuase of the upswept exhausts) but that issue have been 20-30% solved after I got my seat customised. Now as the high of the pillion seat has been considerably raised and even the cushion quality is a bit more firm....pillion doesn't have to bend theri knees that much.
That handle bar tremble is so scary
Pls confirm on ur last point I m also getting same problem.
A very astute observation on point #5. I always thought it was just me who was irritated with the right side mirror. As you said, I have also got used to it.
#3 - I did not face the issue with the rear tyre wobble on high speed. But will certainly check again once I'm able ride out again.
Rest all the issue were pointed perfectly. Especially the seat and fuel gauge issue.
Excellent vlog brother. 🍻
Thankyou for the support 😊
#3 : Do let me know how your bike fares there.
Thanks again ✌️
@@TheTwinPost I will for sure.. cheers
What seat have you put? Can you please share more details about it? Thank you
Hi there... I have made a dedicated video on the seat customisation on my Interceptor...check out the link mentioned below for more details.
czcams.com/video/BKlwEt8fGmY/video.html
Hi, if I'm not wrong this is the BS IV model. Any idea if the issues have been fixed in BS VI?
Most have been updated... I would be making a detailed owner video about the same as one of my close friend is taking a BS-6 Int650 pretty soon.
@@TheTwinPost great. Looking forward to it
Could you please tell how to make it tubeless dnt wanna replace spoke wheels
Hi there I'll be coming up with a detailed video on this topic really soon.... 👍
I am facing a issue that, when break disc are hot enough in city traffic, ABS in not working. ABS light is on and bike looses the power & fuel supply.
That's a serious problem...I have never faced any such issue on my bike. Please get this issue checked at the service center asap. 🤔
@@TheTwinPost yes, you are right.
Very honest review it also over heats useless bike
all same problems with classic 350 past 11years
thinking of going for Rc 390 what is your opinion on this to use the city as well as for touring
Hi Vijay... If you're planning to buy the RC390 with touring on your mind then please be aware that your long distance rides will be really demanding for your wrists, neck and back. RC390 is basically a legal version of track machine with really agressive riding stance and no real comfort. You'll definitely enjoy zipping through mild city traffic on it but traffic jams is again something which won't be pretty on this machine.
Regarding the handle wobble, it will scare you but there is physics acting remember. Your T stem or some major part in the front suspension is out of spec. So the faulty part causes the handle to move but the motion of the bike ( inertia) forces the handle to correct itself by going in the opposite direction. My scooter handle too which has a damaged T wobbles scarily after 50kmph( I know not in the same ball park but similar) and after deceleration pulls towards left. Try to see at speeds around 50 whether bike pulls to one side and raise the issue to RE
This has to be the most sensible and logical explanation to this issue I've seen in any comments section....you know from the usual *yeah this bike is shit* etc.
I will check this aspect and would take it forward with the Service center soon as my 3rd service is due this month.
Thanks Tejas... happy riding 👍
@@TheTwinPost glad I could be of help. Quality control of our Indian manufacturers and my luck of buying lemons (twice now 😂) somewhere had led to me gaining knowledge about lot of these things. Will be buying the Ice Queen next year. Cheers!
Is there same problem with Bs6 version?
Regd the handle wobble issue, it is due to the extra fittings attached to the chassis of your bike. I too had similar problem after attaching a pillon back support. Problem solved immediately after removing it.
The NON ROYAL ENFIELD manufactured attachments like the engine guard and rear saddle with pillion back support cause this. These attachments need to be equal in weight on both sides and an easy fit. Not a tight fit.
It imbalances the weight distribution on the chassis causing the wobble.
Please check out this by yourself. Undo all extra fitting that are not provided from RE Accessories.
It is something like a few grams of weight on a car tyre during wheel balancing can reduce vibrations in a car. It's some what similar. I'm not an engineer so I can't explain but it's just my logic. Believe me it works.
Kindly do a video on alloy. I have IC650. Should i wait for RE alloy wheel or buy third party one?
Hi Nishant - Please do not go for third party alloy wheels. Wait for official RE alloy wheels or get a tubeless conversion kit.
Thank God interceptor has a center stand, for gt, puncture will be big issue.
Own a GT.
Great engine.
Seat seems to be OK for me for around 200 km continuous riding.
Wobbling problem not faced till now though not gone for 130 plus speed.
But handle bar remains rock solid after releasing both hands. Tried many times to check the wheel alignment is okay or not.
That's great - definitely then the issue is with my bike in particular I guess - will get it checked for sure 👍👍
@@TheTwinPost Kindly try wheel alignment sir. I think the handle bar problem will be resolved.
Also check after removing the raiser when alignment is done.
@@saptarshichakrabarty854 how do you manage when punture happens?
Please advice
@@Torquebeast650 Till now, not happened. Only option is to carry paddock stand during long ride. That is too not a convenient option .
@@saptarshichakrabarty854 you can get a center stand installed, the mount is there on your bike's chassis
U shud try the adv tribe mirror adjustment thing for ur bike. Its just a plate which fits in ur stock mirror bracket and allows u to move it as per ur preference. I think it's a bit expensive though. I don't own an Interceptor but planning to buy one soon. Just check d reviews for that product b4 buying. Hav a gud day
Thankyou for the suggestion....will definitely check them out 👍
Loosen the bolts holding the right lever assembly and push it about 20 degrees forward.
Easy to adjust mirror thereafter
Interesting.... Will try it out 👍
This sardar ji near ambala is really a gem. Nice video’s 👍

Nice video mate. And great suggestion are coming on your video.
Keep it up buddy. 👍 👍 👍 👍
Thankyou for the support man 👍
the tank slapping is because of the Pirelli tyres. We had that on our Triumph Street Twins...immediately change those tyres. Horrible ones...they follow all the ruts on the road and also wobble if you let go of the handlebar.
believe me, all the Triumphs with tank slapping wobble could fix it with a tyre change. Nothing is wrong with suspension or anything else. Many guys tried many things, but the problem persisted until tyres were changed.
Hi Arijit, thankyou for your valuable inputs... I've already done 12k+ kms with these tyres now and it's now anyway time to change these tyres - will definitely go for some other option and see if the problem persists.
Hey as an rc390 rider buying the interceptor 650 would you r still prefer to go back to rc/duke 390 due to the said issues??? Or do you think 650 is worth it?(without considering the retro looks)??
Hi Ghoul... After owning the RC for almost 2.5 years I realised it's not my cup of tea... It's riding position was just way too committed for my style of riding. There were minor issues in the RC as well - Once I got both the fairings removed and got rubber mounts installed in every joint to get rid of the irritating vibration sound (this trick worked). Similarly even Interceptor has few niggles but nothing that I can't work around.
I genuinely think the 650 is definitely worth it...and minor mods I've made to it has made it the fit my requirements really well.
1st problem is not just there in interceptor but most of the 2 wheelers with digital fuel meter. I've seen it in Aprilia, bajaj, even in ktm Duke 390. So that's something we have to live with. The 3rd problem you mentioned was of the speed stability. Well Royal Enfield is not a bike that is supposed to be stretched at speeds like 150 or 160 on Indian roads even thought the engine displacement is 650cc. It is supposed to be cruised at around 100 - 110. And about the mirrors, I think bar end mirrors are the perfect solution for the issue faced by you. Well these were the issues I feel were not something that could be complained about. Other than that the seat , the lack of tubeless tyres is genuinely something that has to be looked into. Well there's one more thing I'd like to say. After many years of having primitive designs and lack of features, RE has finally stepped up and given us two machines which are very good compared to what they have served before. So let's just give RE some time and hope to see improvements in it. Nice video :)
Without a doubt I absolutely love the Interceptor and even today I would've bought the same bike if I had a similar budget.
The mirror issue isn't really an issue anymore for me since I've gotten used to it.
About the high-speed wobbling...indeed Interceptor is not meant to be ridden at 150-160+ ....it's just something that I noticed when I tried to hit those speeds on the expressway... I'm more than happy cruising at 100-120 on it.
I hope you understand that these weren't things I was nagging about but things I thought were something that people won't be able to understand after just 10 minutes of test ride.
@@TheTwinPost yeah yeah :) I've subscribed to your channel bud. I'd love to see more of Interceptor content. Not just about it, but vlogging with the bike :)
Thanks for the support man 👍
Aapka hukum sar-aankhon par 🙌
Bro i have same software version In my my bike should I need to upgrade?
If you have the same version then you won't face any issues.
Omg I m confused now toh Duke 390 Bs3 se upgrade Royal enfield interceptor 650 karna ka ki nahi karne ko looking for couples long ride bike in budget
Nice one
Wobble is because poor suspension alignment( suspension fluid and spring correction) and also check you're conset, or wheel alignment issues, check it out and rectify it as soon as possible.
Hi Dinson....I too think there's issue with the conset... I'll get other things checked as well... Thanks 👍
I found tyre change & seat comfort is a issue...and It is a city bike rite?....what about bullet 350, 500 cc for long ride?
Hi Mohit if you can live with the tube tyres then it's fine...but if you want to switch to tubeless then you either will need alloy wheels or tubeless conversion kit plus tubeless tyres as well since the stock tyres aren't tubeless now.
Seat is fine for city rides....you can get it customised for long rides.
In city it can manage once you're used to its handling....it definitely won't handle like a Duke.
Bullet-500 is no more available in India.
350 cannot be compared with a 650.... The difference in power is alot....plus the build is alot better on the 650 which is evident in the price difference too.... It costs 1 lakh rupees more than the 350.
is there any way to install tubeless tyres
Yes there are ways to convert existing spoke rims to tubeless... I chose the way2Speed tubeless conversion kit for it. You can watch my video on this topic for more details: czcams.com/video/TK-Qvu69XPo/video.html
Hey buddy, is the wobbling issue resolved now? Any idea if RE had fixed this in newr bikes?
Hi Pravan... After spoke adjustment and Coneset greasing the wobbling issue goes away.
I rode the BS-6 variant and didn't find this issue in them.
There are some reasons which are extremely serious and should have been there in 650CC bike. So amazingly RE engineers approve such big bike left with such issues unresolved.
What is the latest software version?
That can only be known from a service center.
Good video..
Which is the wind shield you have kept
Hi Vysakh....I have installed Himalayan Visor on my Interceptor.
If you are interested in knowing more about it then you can watch the second video on my channel... I've explained everything.
Check your ball bearings..that’s were the issues are and even I own one but I didn’t face the issues of wobbling
Will get the ball racers checked and would update with the results.
Thanks 😊
Brother iske cruiser model ka wait karna think Hoga ya. Triumph ka lena thik hoga. Humare state me triumph showroom nahi hai.
Hitendra bhai Triumph ke cost me or iske cost me 3 guna ka farak rahega... Plus service and maintenance cost premium brand ka kaafi mehenga hi hoga.
Aapko travel bhi karna hoga kyuki dealership bhi nahi hai aapke state me... Aap RE cruiser ka wait karlo...isi saal ajaegi
@@TheTwinPost thanks for reply brother. I have 3 bullets. I love big bikes karib 20 year se bullet chala raha hu. Ab thoda hat k rahe gaadi aisi chahta hu. Lekin videshi brand ki gaadiya agar le li aur kharab ho gaya to banne wali nahi yaha local me. Pichhale year meri electra ka tank company se mangaya tha 2 months baad aaya. Triumph ka to kam se ka 6 months jarur lega. Deshi ka wait karna sahi rahega. Brother kab tak aaegi cruiser. Interceptor bhi mast hai iski test ride li hai Maine osm pickup hai. But iski seating position bullet wale pasand nahi karenge. Isiliye nahi liya. Wait wait wait for cruiser. Thanks brother.
Bhai part from stock seat, how about riding position, is it good enough for long rides?
Riding position is fine for long distance... I never faced any back ache or neck/shoulder/wrist pain throughout my 3000kms Leh ride. Now you have to take rider's height into consideration - I'm 5'11 (181 cms) tall so I don't have stretch out to reach the handlebars.
Although handlebar risers do make the position a bit more comfortable.
@@TheTwinPost Just a suggestion, try switching to the side mirrors of Bajaj Avenger and adjust it horizontally, I mean the rear view mirror setting, on most avengers, riders keep it up straight. I have seen lot many riders on Royal Enfield Thunderbird using it. May be it helps..
Are these issues solved in 2021 interceptor?
Did you get a chance to take a test ride?
My friend owns a BS-6 Interceptor and most the issues have been solved on them.
Except that the latest ones come with Ceat tyres which are tube-type only.
BS 6 wale model me handlebar wobbling band ho gaya hai bhai. lekin ye fuel gauge issue ne pareshan kar rakha hai. One thing I've noticed is after filling 6.5 l after blinking starts at 2 bars, it is giving me somewhere around 150-180 kms. basically 25 ish. But inconsistency hoti hai especially when there's lots of city riding. What about you?
Hi Vaibhav.... City riding me to mileage fully depend karti hai traffic par. Peak traffic working day vaala ho to I too get similar mileage of around 23-24... But moderate traffic me in easily get 27+.
Also on straight highway at speeds of 80-100 it gives 30+.... But I maintain a touring speed of around 100-110 which gives me around 29-30 kmpl.
Fuel gauge cannot be trusted....I just look at it for reference.
Handlebar wobbling is something that I genuinely think is an issue with the Coneset...will get it replaced.
Handlebar wobble Pirelli tyres se tha ab ceat zoom ma nhi hua my friend told me
That's great 👍👍
Interceptor pe touring modification ke liye koi shop suggest karo bhai. For tubeless conversion, seat change, saddle stay , engine guard etc.
Hi Suraj...of you're from Delhi then -
For Seat mod : There are many in Karol Bagh who can do a better job than Khajanchi or Sahara seats at lower cost
Saddle Stay & Engine Guard: Zana
Tubeless Conversion: Kit from Way2Speed and installation at Pathpavers Delhi.
@@TheTwinPost thanks bro. Appreciate your response
Is your touring seat ok?Pls send the link to buy.
Hi there... It serves the purpose that I was looking for with the seat comfort for long distance. I bought my seat from Khajanchi Seats, Karol Bagh, New Delhi.
You can search this name on Google... I guess they also sell on Amazon.
Sir meteor k baare me vdo banaiye please
The handlebar wobbling seems to go away at the correct tyre pressure on either sides
This video was shot right after I got a fuel top up plus tyre pressure checked.
I'll get the ball racers checked, alignment plus wheel balancing done - and then I'll see if the issue continues.
@@TheTwinPost oh! Alright.. I've noticed it to either reduce, or go away.. so suggested..
Nice 👌 video
