EXCLUSIVE: I Ride India's Only Interceptor 650 With S&S Camshaft
Vložit

- Punjab really has some hidden wonders - meet my friend Gurkiran Singh Mann, who is as passionate about motorcycles and jeeps as anyone can be. Having ridden and owned multiple big bikes over the years, Gurkiran has fallen in love with the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, and rides it as often as he can.
Always wanting to extract more from his bike, Gurkiran kept contemplating about the S&S camshaft for his motorcycle and finally bit the bullet. He installed the camshaft himself, a Powertronic tuner and a few other bits and bobs that have transformed his motorcycle into a rocketship.
In this video, Gurkiran details his bike, all the mods and challenges faced, and then I take a quick spin on the motorcycle to give you an idea of how it rides.
This video was shot in Patiala, Punjab on February 20, 2021.
If you would like to see what I do to my motorcycles, you can take a look at my Instagram page too: / abhinavbhatt19
Thank you for giving me your time. I hope you have a great day.
Cheers - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Thanks everyone for your comments and big shout out to Abhinav for the video
Gurkiran, you have showed the world how to do a proper sleeper build. You should be proud, my friend.
You have done an excellent job with your interceptor. A real sleeper, not a ricer.
@@nap083node431 ok captain. But not every young lad has that amount of money. I guess the whole mod costs above 50k.
A pure bliss to watch and feel. 🤎
Good one paaji. Cheers
Jaideep's Thar looking gangsta in the back with those new tires and rims!
Yeah.
Very less people know where to spend the money on a bike , and i must say that mr gurukiran has the ace up his sleeve when it comes to knowhow of performance . And mr abhinav , mann where do you get to meet these awsm people
I'm lucky that way.
True Abhinav is blessed
@@abhinavbhatt we make our own luck. Pretty sure yours is self made too ;)
Then he would have got the S&S high compression pistons put in with the cam shaft with a 7cc raised dome they put out 11:1.
You do them together to save time and money and get way better power. Bed them in together as well.
Those pistons go to the stock bore.
@@eazyrider6122 Don't you think that a 11:1 compression ratio on a low rpm high torque engine will kill the head gasket with a redline shift? What is the benifit of that dome piston combined with high lift cam when if budget is in your mind, just go onn and port the intake and exaust as the ecu will adapt with the maf and O2 sensor. I would highly recommend you to have a better idea about engines rather than just watching some random vid about kit which will ruin the engine. 9.5:1 to 11:1 without doing anything else seriously dude.
ayyyy! Uncle Stuart is mentioned. I really love his Chrome Classic 500. Anyone else watches Stuart Fillingham?
Every royal enfield fan ever😂
Yeah. I watch his videos too. Super comfortable to watch.
Yes I do
Every interceptor owner does 😄
@@mapuiavanchhawng7780 and I'm not even an interceptor owner as well. 🤣
I dont know how abhinav finds such motorcycles and cars modified where we couldn't see videos on youtube
Really a different channel
Appreciate it man
Thank you.
One of the 1st superbikes for which I fell in love was Gurkiran Paaji's Honda 954 😍. That was almost 16-17 years back !
Oh that was a beauty and it was a mistake selling it
One of the best looking litre bikes of all time.
@@gurkiransingh6777 agree paaji
@@abhinavbhatt absolutely. My favourite till date !
@@gurkiransingh6777I have similar setup with s&s cam . I am interesting in the powertronics map you are running in your vehicle
12:43 if a tiger 1200 owner says that about your bike, you know you are doing the right thing
And if abhinav says this (12:55), 🙏🙏 😂
I had my car re-tuned from WolfMoto a few days back. I was discussing with them on my booking of interceptor and wondering what the new refresh will be like. They did suggest me the same setup. S&S cam, free flow filter with snorkel delete and a remap. Yes, they have a remap for RE twins. I was not sure how the setup would be, but now I have a few ideas. And now I know where to spend. Thank you !!
Two guys having deep conversation about what they know and love 🔥❤️
Ordered my interceptor a week ago, and eagerly waiting for the delivery. Thank you for sharing the mods and we all love to listen to all bike talks, and no fizul baat 🤩 Subscribed for crisp contents 🙂
Powerage is made in Coimbatore District in Tamil Nadu.You can literally see your exhaust being manufactured and you can buy it straight away after the final inspection is done from manufacturing line. Both Motowings and Powerage are like brothers they share designs.
You have done hard work on your Interceptor.
This man has done smart work on his Interceptor! 😎
True
This is really professional content. Love your videos.
Thanks
Your each n every video taught somthing new and knowledgeable about meaningful mods.
Thank you.
Knowledge bombs by abhinav!
Such a humble man Mr. Gurkiran Singh.
bro, gurkiran sure knows his stuff.
Loved this vid and your reaction to the upgrade in performance, I could hear the smile! You've convinced me to get the S&S camshaft and powertronic.
And then I'll need to save up for some free flow headers. F_YEAH!
Hello friends, what an excellent video about this unusual and rare version of the RE 650 - NICE !!!
Awesome ... very interesting and entertaining video! Enjoyed watching your test-ride and commentary. 🙂
worth it! an absolute thrill to watch...can almost feel it in my bones 🤘🏼
This is the type of content i was thriving for ❤
Love his reactions and vocal feed back. I like his passing test!.
This thing seems a lot faster. The pull and the exhaust note, it's awesome... ❤️
Would love to see more of this interceptor in your videos..👍👌
This bike is in Ludhiana. Slightly difficult.
@@abhinavbhatt No problem brother, I know you'd do it whenever you get a chance...👍
Watching interceptor videos on your channel is always a treat..😀
Thank you Abhinav for bringing us this interview. It was an eye-opener. Happy to see that you enjoyed the ride. The response actually made me feel that you were riding a KTM bike rather than anything else. A compliment indeed. The owner is obviously a man with a lot of experience.👍
Yeah. It is a beautifully set up bike. The owner is a man who talks from a lot of experience.
You are increasing my knowledge level sir thank you
✌️
In my 13 years of biking i found many bikers spends like anything on their bikes
But only very few of them spend their money in a right and sensible way
This interceptor owner is one among that and the way he explains just shows that bonding between him and that bike
And big kudos for abinav to let us know about that sensible biker..
And one more is i like your introduction
"Hi Guys I am abinav" thats become you trademark identity now,
My 10 year old nephew watches you video along with me and he is fan of your intro
He will just come and say "chittappa play that hi i am abinav video "
(Chittappa means dads younger brother in Tamil)
🙏
Really looking forward to see a dyno run of this bike. Judging by your reaction this definitely is much much quicker than the stock. Wanna see how that translates on to the dyno.
The Journalist Inside asking all the relevant Questions.
Nice video Abhinav. Lots of things one can learn from you regarding motorcycles. 🙌
Thanks
Ur the best mannn
Seriously decent performance upgrade that's all we need
Those 535 gt springs😍
Hard to see such professional videos from Indians. Good job man 👌
Thank you.
Great work and love for the machine
Once again a nice video Abhinav... These technical details are good to know.. though I am not going to make changes but good to know these people who love their bikes and try to make them even a better machines.
I am still not able to get full throttle on my meteor as you said 'I want to live'. But in future I may look for certain changes.
Keep finding such people.. keep making such videos. Love and blessings...
Thanks buddy.
The seat looks cool man!👍
When you pulled the throttle I felt the bike! 😍
Imagine how I felt.
Just watched the vedio from Stuart , awesome content , INT doing good in international market too , and now this vedio , booking one soon.
Bloody awesome content man. I was wondering if the custom maps were uploaded anywhere or available anyhow?
Great knowledge bro
Thanks
Man o man. Hats of to gurkiran paji 🙏. He did cam swap and was able to retune it almost equally which isn't easy if some bike is modified upto that level.
That's so awesome
But I felt in the video that sound is pretty head paining for long touring 🙂.
Very nice setup.
Kudos to the owner for the setup 👍
Super Review Bro...
Continue...
Superb brother ❤️
Gotta be serious when this guy says the bike is fast...mad respect to you
Thats what I was looking for and again you made my day thanks abhinav ocean of knowledge
✌️
You both are bike enthusiasts 😍😍
Having watched the video you have convinced me to go ahead with an S&S cam, but the traffic you are riding through scares the shite out of me😂👍
😂😂
Peter from the UK - Nice review Sir!!!
The valves must have been worked on right with the clearances and seating done this needs performance pistons and rods, and maybe a change in the sprockets and chain. It has gone from a cruiser to a street sport or naked sport.
Good work...👍❤
Not an RE guy, but the 650 twins should have had more power from the factory..engine sounds more rev happy..
Enjoying your channel Mr. Abhinav. We get to see real enthusiasts. Love from Mizoram again
After watching your videos i also have booked INT 650 orange crush
Wonderful information 🙏
Bigger cam means more A/F coming in. Technically, this increases the compresion ratio. But now if you have a higher lift/ duration cam, that only bumps up the compression from say 10.5:1 to 10.7:1, then definitely not going to feel anything. Tuning does not change anything if your injectors are stock and the flow rate is the same. The only thing you can do is install PT, and quickshifter, enjoy the advance timing on full open throttle. That still wont make the bike faster than what it is limited to...
Simple yet sophisticated
Dada, Duke build complete karo. Ek video uspe bhi banta hai.
@@abhinavbhatt uske liye call karunga aapko. A lot has changed.
Cool
I just loved this video. Does this exhaust sound better than RRP and AEW??
Drag race this with the HD750 wanna see how this competes with it!🔥
Stuart Fillingham 👌
Very informative video ✌✌✌
Thanks
My interceptor has a similar setup powertronics+DNA airfilter+AEWs+s&s camshaft.. agreed with the remapping..that just stitches everything..just makes the bike go beast..sounds way too different !
Nice. Did Powertronic make a custom map for you? Where are you based?
@@abhinavbhatt got the powertronics mapping done from a performance shop here in Mumbai
Cool
Higher compression pistons should sort out the little initial loss in lower end torque ✌️
killer 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
11:33 GOOOSEBUMPPPPSSSS
Wouldn’t say that again but still whenever i see a new notification from your channel whatever work i may be doing i just take a break and watch your videos ;) but can you just say how much would it cost for the Exhaust + Powertronic and the Camshaft????
13-14 for exhaust. 22 for tuner. 24 for cam. And thank you :)
@@abhinavbhatt You’re welcome 😇 Ohkay so roughly 60-70k would be required to get these spec on the 650 twins ...
This is the modification which should be focused more on every stock perform bike
Trying to get more power than the company claims is just satisfying
And Abhinav ur jusy good at that broo.... ⚡⚡
Nice video, Powerage is basically based in Coimbatore. The owner of Powerage is an ex employee of Jayem Automotives (JTP).
Very helpful video for RE int 650 owners. Please share the links / references also for accessories. There are many good accessories we can go for.
Awesome POV shots. Where and how do you mount your cam on the helmet?
On the chin. I have a video on my channel on how to set it up. Early days.
The thumbnail is a paradise a thar and a RE twin side by side 😍
Man what a beautiful looking bike 😍
U really knw wat to focus on
Man, love your content and driving in India looks so raw and fun. Who needs video games when you can ride a motorcycle in India! 😂😂😂
😂
15:45: I feel like riding it full throttle.
15:50: I won’t. Because I want to live.
So relatable😂
How to get s&s camshaft and the exhaust, and the aforementioned mods on his bike....
I was never into Classic/ Cruiser bikes but one day I saw Triumph Thunderbird on the road and I fell for it. But the thing is it is way out of my budget and very heavy. Then encountered some videos of INT 650, this got me thinking this might be it. It's kind of raw bike with nice engine and sound and one can easily build it to suit personal liking. I'd go for a compact crash guard and weld a foldable foot peg on it and cover it with nice cover so it can also function as a secondary foot peg for highways w/o inc. width of the bike. Then a Twin pod headlights, and the indicators and rear lights as shown in this video. But I'm still confused b/w Kawa's N300 and INT 650. I'm a novice at riding bikes not a regular rider but looking to keep something for casual rides and maybe even some long trips.
Get the Interceptor
Hey Gurkiran....would some tweaks be needed to mount T-bird indicators and Thruxton tail light?
Please do update us when it gets the dyno treatment. Also what about your interceptor and R15 project? Give us some sneak peek brother :)
Hey any thoughts of upgrading a big bore 865 kit on your interceptor which does about 70bhp at the rear wheel
Good to see you indian rockers who are as crazy for bespoke hand built bikes as us brits. When i was young it was 2 strokes, bonnies, norton commandos or 750 4s or z900 kawasaki or h2s or kettles. You had yam xs2 xs650 but they handled bad but didnt go bang like 750 twin carb bonnies or t150 tridents. Bsa went bust but at least their frames were great and lockheed rotors were great and their frames didnt handle like shopping trollies throwing tankslappers like an xs2 yam i had with a 740 conversion that was like a suzuki tl1000R at box hill on the mad mile. Great days when the 2 strokes would burn out down there and often blow up. Old bill had r80 bmws but soon got more powerful bikes. The gs1000 was the one to have for many or laverda jota as the ducati 900ss would blow up at 18000 from new due to awful big ends but they were beautiful but not as prised as the 750ss which was far more collectable and is worth 50k plus if you can find one. Its sad BSA was so far in debt as their racing rocket 3 went well but was very fragile but outhandled the triumph tridents like slippery sam but the 750 four hondas took over. Indestructable and very reliable and modern even though their handling, frames were like Tesco shopping trollies without brakes in corners. No wonder Barry Sheene broke so many bones. He was either totally mad or had balls like an elephant RIP
12:21 this bus horn sounds like a superbike flyby 😂😂
How did you find the Paioli shocks on the rear...Is it a worthwhile mod?
He should have paired in the S&S high compression pistons with a 7cc raised dome at the same time he did the cam shaft that wen you notice the diffrence in power and torque and a better curve.
From stock at 9.5:1 to 11:1.
They go with the stock bore.
If one goes high compression then i believe higher octain fuel is required.
Looks nice
Did the bike need changes to the fuel injection computer because of the new cam?
Hi Gurkiran i have a few questions for you. Yet before my questions. The bike is amazing the mods are good.
1. What tyres do you use now in the interceptor ?
2. Wobble issue does not exist because of ?
3. Exaust based weight reductions helps how and the cops dont fine you for having them ?
4. LED lights is cop attracting magnet how do you handel them ?
5. How much have you spent on all mods and can you please list them with the prices ?
6. Do you recommend a open or covered parking for this type of a bike ?
7. How do you deal with rusting issues?
8. Can you really play with this bike like the light weight Japanese bikes ?
9. What milage you get ?
10. How long do you plan to hold on to this bike ? Practically speaking if you had a choice to ride a better one in 10 or 15 years.
Should we invest on the big bore 865 kit for interceptor 650
makes me wanna install S&S mods on my imaginary GT650.
It would be amazing of you get your hands on a triumph Thruxton R. A true legendary bike with a charm.
I've ridden it plenty and was about to buy it too. Luck would have it otherwise.
@@abhinavbhatt what!!!!!!!
It would be great if we could see it in a video, as there aren't too many of these 💎 🙁
I'll try.
Can you please tell about the tail light which you got their
I liked the seat. Could you please manage some details on it, location, cost.. 🙏🏻
Hi Abhinav ... I really wanted to know where I can buy that headlight..
Sir can you tell about tail light which you have in your interceptor? Which bike’s tail light it is?
TEC in Newcastle do good quality after market parts for royal enfield and triumph motorcycles at a good price and George is very helpful with customer queries and problems but im most impressed and he is doing uprated exhaust, camshaft and big bore stuff. He has been going for many years now and clearly has built up trust based on great products at a fair price. He does forged camshafts properly hardened and ground with proper quality case hardening of top quality steel.. I say that as a guy who has spent over 40 years involved in engineerindg, fabrication and metalwork.
He's definitely not the only one running the S&S camshaft.. there's a guy in Bangalore called Samran who has the camshaft kit, 750cc big bore and 11:1 compression piston kit done by royal Enfield themselves
Okay. Did not know.
Is he on any social media platforms? Would love to see that setup !
Can you put a list of the mods and the websites in a comment please?
Thanks
Your reaction is priceless haha
I was out of words.
Fuuuuuuccccc
❤️ from JORHAT ASSAM 🤙
Hi Abhinav, appreciate your interest and efforts on this. Hope to see more from you in coming days and on a side note I'm also going to be a Int 650 owner in few days. Just a quick question for you on Int 650 performance upgrade.
1. Brakes are important. Brakes setup from Triumph T120 which has dual rotor and spoke wheels. Will look good too on Int 650.
2. Inside the engine the high lift camshaft with high compression pistons and with NGK iridium spark plugs will make a big bang in the same bore.
3. On the intake part, masking can be done with a DNA or BMC or K&N filter with a open type filter holder for more inflow.
4. For outflow we can stick to motorage or AEW etc. etc.
5. The onboard computer has to be swapped with a power-tronic ECU adding the quick shiftier.
6. Engine heating can be controlled by a bigger radiator or by adding one more radiator in series with the stock one.
7. Last but not the least, a drag bar for better handling and cleaner looks.
Want to know your view on this.
1. You’ll have to change the hub to fit a disc on the other side. Meaning, the fork leg too. Very costly.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. Sure.
5. Sure. This bike has a quick shifter. Wasn’t calibrated at the time of me riding it.
6. This is not a water cooled engine. Cannot add a radiator.
7. Sure.
@@abhinavbhatt Thanks for your thoughts on this. On the break part, what kind of upgrade you suggest for better stopping power? And I know the engine is air cooled like the 50s or 60s classics but I mean the oil cooler. Do you think the stock oil cooler can handle the extra heat the engine will produce? I guess this can be achieved by adding a higher grade of engine oil like 30w50 or so.
Switch to a better brake pad/master cylinder combo. Can't say whether the oil cooler can handle it or whether changing the engine grade will. Best would be to consult someone who is running this set up.
@@abhinavbhatt Thank you 🙏🙏 will wait for your next vlog on all these crazy stuff. Till then ride hard, ride safe.
Would be amazing if he could add all of the s&s kit with bigger bore even
Would then need to redo the suspension and brakes too.
