- I recently completed 4 years of owning this amazing retro motorcycle. It has been my daily commuter and I have customised it quite a lot. The bike never gave me any big problems, but it was time to change its battery which lasted quite a lot I must say!
This video is a DIY walkthrough on how to change the battery on Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 & Continental GT 650.
If you have any questions, suggestions then please feel free to comment.
I read them all and respond to all.
Thank you for watching my videos and supporting this channel.

Here's a playlist containing all mods I have done on this motorcycle.

My new therapy is watching Srinivas fixing his INT650. Such a sensible and insightful content, loved it!.😄
Lol, thank you for watching the video! 🙏🏽✨
I edge hearing his voice everytime ❤
@@ReddyHHH210 LOL I'm no celebrity. 🤣
recently I've been watching all your videos and i"m doing those upgrades myself. All those changes are worth it and doesn't change the character of the bike.
Thank you for watching the videos man!! 🙌🏽
Saw that one comment comparing you to a DDK Doc narrator...and...the more I listen...the more i am reminded of the oldy narrators too. 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Watta Entry boss 😎, best way to Sri_Ganesh any blog 👍🏻
Hahahaha thanks man
My Inti battery died exactly after 13 months !! After 15 days of hibernation the battery died !! So without any thoughts I changed to new battery as local exide guy brought new battery & old one is completely dead .. it seems regular riding extends battery life !! Nice and crisp review 👍👍👌👌
Thank you so much for watching the video brother! Regular riding does extend the battery life, however if you are not planning to ride for 2 weeks, then better to disconnect the negative terminal. That will greatly extend the life of your motorcycle battery!
Negative coupler* The one you can do by hand and don't need any tool for it. (sorry for over explaining)
Make a video on how you painted the engine covers or casing? What paint to choose and other things
Got it. Next week 🙏🏽🤩
Wow what a memory. After so long you remembered to upload the video😂😂😂.
Nice 👍
😅 was busy with office work hence the late upload.
Well explained Sri..
Thank you for watching the video🙌🏽
Thnq 🔥
Welq 🔥
Hi Sri, it's so soothing to hear you talking about inty !! I recently bought my inty and I feel the pain on my knees and my ankles are stiff after rides because of acute riding angle, I dont know if I will get used to it or I need to go for a foot peg extender. Have you thought about the foot peg extender for yourself considering you are a tall dude.
I never thought of it, on the rides if it bothers me too much then just stretch it on the ride. I keep my leg on the leg guard. If it starts to pain, then stop the ride and stretch and back to it.
I suggest that you apply some petroleum jelly or other suitable substance on the battery terminal. Modern batteries are pretty good but you'll want to avoid accumulation of salts or rust on the terminals. Better to play it safe and risk some dust rather than corrosion.
Makes sense. Thank you for this info, will do this soon.
im commenting just to help you with the youtube algorthm.
🥲🫶🏽 Man, this comment made my day! Thank you so much buddy!
ohh I am waiting for a long ride on 450 and its modification/aaccessories videos
Next video in line is smallest inexpensive mod for Himalayan. But quite practical one.
How did you keep your Bend Pipe (where the Engine connects the exhaust) still Shiny when even though I tried my best to maintain it got rusted.
I clean them regularly and don't let water sit on them for too long. General rule of thumb I have is, avoid potholes and riding on water. If you can avoid, then do avoid.
You don't have to accelerate while cranking it.
Ah. Noted.
My hunter’s battery died in 17 months. Now need to replace under warranty.
Warranty replacement is atleast free. :)
Where do you paint engine cases
I never said I painted them. Watch the only live video on the channel, you'll get an idea. :)
Hey just noticed you changed the color of your engine covers. How much did it cost? And what type of paint is used ?

Check this video.
Four years is a lot for one battery that too when the Motorcycle has no Kicker to start it every now and then, the Battery on my Bullet lasts for around two and half years, three once ( I guess I was lucky ), is four years typical for Interceptor Batteries, if the Motorcycle is ridden regularly , or, have you taken some additional steps to keep it in such good condition ?
the only step I took was to ride the bike almost everyday. Since I now have Himalayan as well, it has come down to alternate days. However, I am planning touring on the New Himalayan, so if and when that happens, I will simply disconnect the negative coupler. To extend the battery life.
Aren’t using wingman anymore?
Temporarily removed due to Monsoon season. Coming back on soon.
@@SrinivasGanesh planning to get one for me. Just wanted to know long term review. If you could share / make a video about it
How was your battery tray 🤔 I found rust on the left hand side where water must sit there due to the tray is angled to the rear of the bike. I took the tray out in the winter while I did engine upgrades and sanded off rust and repainted black. Would be much less work to leave it in the bike and do it😂 I went with the lithium battery and save the weight but the cost😮
Yeah the cheapest lithium battery here is of $180. This one costed me almost $40. And yep it will shave a lot of weight. As much as 6kgs!Nope, no rust on the battery tray. Just a lot of dust. Which was cleaned with utmost efficiency😅. So far the only place in my bike that has rust is the starting of the header pipes, which is rather minimal. You ,must be storing the bike during winters, you have that option, here, in cities, the bikes are always running.
Question. You have an instagram account?
@@SrinivasGanesh yea mine stays in the garage when not riding 🙂 Instagram no I haven't set up one of those.
Hi Sri, to save charge of my battery during winter time here in Italy I removed both poles. Do you think that removing the connection only fir the negative pole could be sufficient? Bye
Removing both poles is the best. If you are up for it that is. As that requires extra work of removing the tool tray. 😎🫶🏽
Mine battery got dead yesterday...
Oh no. Well now you can always refer to this video should you need to change the battery. 😜🫶🏽
install alloy wheels now.
Nope. Don't like those on a classic. Personal preference.
Is this color discontinued now? So there is no other way to get this bike?
Yes sir, it is discontinued.
Bro The handling of my Interceptor 650 is very tight, making it difficult to ride smoothly. Which brand of cone set bearings are you using, and what could be causing the tight steering? Could you suggest a specific website and brand, other than the stock Royal Enfield one, as it keeps being faulty?
Try roadpowercustoms.
Or take it to a different service centre. It makes a difference when different people work on your bike.
Ok bro thank you
Bro which engine oil are you using? In RE service centre they told me they use some semi synthetic.
Using Liqui Molly full synthetic oil.
@@SrinivasGanesh I'm assuming you've done initial free service in RE service centre and what difference have you noticed since you started using liquimoly? I'm thinking using either Liquimoly or silkoline or just tell me if f it's worth switching to fully synthetic oil, my Inty just finished it's second service.
and yes why dont you use those side panel bags anymore?
Had removed it to get a wash. Leather bags, got to protect them no. 😅
Will be installing them back soon.
why don't you go on long rides?
I do, just not that regularly. Will start soon once office work is sorted.
Anyone here wanna buy gursewak exhausts for interceptor 650 almost new used for 2k kms,fixed price 16K,reply if anyone is interested 😊
Why sell it?
@@SrinivasGanesh wanna shift to aew
