Excellent thanks buddy
Great content 😊 Bhai ek video tyre ke bare me karo, i want to know basically how is it having a spoke tyre in touring as i heard if it gets punctured then too difficult to repair in int650. 😥
Hi Partha... thankyou for the kind words.
I have converted the spoke rims on my bike to tubeless and have made a detailed video on it... Please check it out for more details: czcams.com/video/TK-Qvu69XPo/video.html
You should try the handle bar Riser by hdt customs. Very good.
Shukriya bhai
Hdt footpeg relocator was my fav ! Best part is that there are three options for positioningof footpegs! Gone are the cramped sitting posture!
Absolutely man.... I'm 5'11 but I won't be sitting on the pillion seat but even my partner is 5'9 and it was really uncomfortable for her.... This has made a world of a difference.
Do you have to drill metal?
No drilling required at all
Hi bro..love form Andhra Pradesh..
🙌
Excellent thanks
Nice and useful
The Rider with Baker Express....seems to be your travel buddy..he is in all your long ride videos... 😂 Nice video though 👍👌
😂🤣
Nice bakchodi 😂
Meee too 🤣😂 The Famous Orange Crush
Great 👍
Great video and informative, i want to know how are the mirrors of int 650, do you feel to change or the stock ones have good visibility? Thanks.
Hi Nishant.... thankyou for the kind words.
The stock mirrors are just ok...I mean they get the job done but I would've preferred something that would be more stable at high speeds becuase these tend to vibrate a little... Not too much but just a little and the reason that may feel bothersome is because the bike is smooth and somehow the mirrors are not. A good quality touring mirrors would make things a lot better though.
@@TheTwinPost thanks for the insights and great videos..keep it up brother👍🏻
Nice. I have raised the handlebars further. Got custom made accelrrator and clutch cables manufactured. Also imcreased length of all cables.
Now stuck to get a hose ( from front brake lever till ABS unit ) of about 5 inch longer length than stock.
Can someone help please
Thank you for the information.
I just have a few questions regarding the spoke wheels. How well the bike can perform with the stock spoke wheels? Does it get punctured too much or not? And is it beneficial to use the puncture proof paste to use tubeless tyres or completely change them to alloy wheels?
Hi there, spoke wheels perform better when it comes to takling bad roads as the spokes act as a cushion and instances of bent/cracked rims are far less comparatively.
I've been using tubeless converted rims for almost 3k kilometres now and haven't faced any issues with it. The only flaw would be that the spokes cannot be adjusted in case a need arises... For that to be done the kit will have to be re-applied.
@@TheTwinPost wow, that was really Quick and so helpful. Thank you so much. Appreciate it!
Liked ofcourse...
And what about a puncture proof mod??
I've done a tubeless mod....but by 'puncture proof' if you mean things like the 'Formula-X' then I've personally have had a bad experience with it. One of of my friends who recently got a tubeless conversion done was earlier using formula-X i.e. until he got a puncture... The solution did absolutely nothing.
Wish the interceptor came with 17" alloy wheels.. Their current offering is a deal breaker for me
17 inch wheels would've made a world of difference.... Tyre options would've been endless.
Nice video... What abt luggage carrier set up ? Pls incl in nxt👍
Hi Vijay... For luggage
With a pillion: You can opt for a saddle bag like the Rynox Nomad-2 which is designed for motorcycles with upswept exhausts...it fits Interceptor easily.
A top box from Shad would be really convenient for storing your electronic devices since it's completely waterproof.
Without a pillion: You can go for something like a Viaterra Claw Bag which has ample amount of space for your typical long rides + the top box I mentioned above.
You can go for a tank bag as well although personally I never use a tank bag because I have an OCD of it causing scratches to my bike's fuel tank.... but it's totally upto you.
@@TheTwinPost thanks for the elaborate reply... Thank you for the content of revert as also your time... Thanks again👍👍
The carbon racing windshield bike is mine!! 😎
Awesome 👌👌👌
@@TheTwinPost I've the angled HDT customs handle bar risers.
Mobile holder without charger (Bobo Jaw)
No mods for pillion yet. Plan to change,
Seat cushion
Add backrest/top rack
Footpeg relocater later
👍
Good to know that you've got your mods sorted...your bike looks pretty mint 👌
Ride safe 👍
@thetwinpost, any suggestion for rear view mirror?
Kemimoto mirrors seems really like a pretty good option... especially the bar end ones.
Please share your thoughts about ladies footrest that I can use to take my mom on short city ride.
Hi Sahil....it is not advisable to sit on a two wheeler sideways...in case of an unfortunate event it's really dangerous for the pillion.
Is pillion foot touching rider foot due to minimum gap between footpegs?
That’s a nice time piece you have on the bike. Where did you bought it?
Hi Krishna.... I bought from a seller called *Sparenuts* ....you can access the link mentioned below for their instagram ID and place your order from there.

@@TheTwinPost Thank you.. Happy miles
Pls advise if stock silencer should be replaced. I find my interceptor very heavy
If you want to reduce the weight then replacing the exhausts is the easiest way to do it. Though all the aftermarket exhausts are not road legal and you can get into trouble in case cops stop you - so keep that in mind as well.
Hdt footrest relocater, can it be usef in gt 650 as well?
Yes it can... since there are 3 positions available within the relocator for fitting the rear footrest... For GT you'll have to use the first one which will be farthest away from the rider footpegs
Please share the link for purchasing SDT custom foot pegs relocator...? From where I can purchase them...
Hi there... although I ordered the relocator kit from their official website but if seems the website is down at the moment, so you can get in touch with them through their Insta profile: instagram.com/hemant_darbar__hdtcustoms_?
Otherwise if and when their website starts working you can access that as well... I have posted the link for the same in the description of this video.
bro can u please tell where we can get foot peg relocator for the RIDER
Hi there...you can get footpeg relocator for the rider from 'Indimotard' ...link provided below:
indimotard.com/product/royal-enfield-650-interceptor-touring-footpegs/
Vai continental gt650 pe pillion footrest relocater kaam karega ki nhi
Karega kaam bhai but jaisa mene bataya isme 3 option hain footpeg lagane ke...to sabse peeche vaale par hi lagega kyuki GT ka rider footpeg thoda peeche placed hai.
Can the footpeg relocator be fit on the gt 650?
The stock rear footpeg location is identical for both the GT and Interceptor...hence this kit will fit the GT650 as well.
Can you find a foot and heel gear paddle for Interceptor?
Hi Sarabjit...I have heard people using the Meteor 350 gear shift peddle on the Interceptor.... It has a heel+toe setup
Hey...so any issues woth the bike loaded with luggage and pillion on some rough roads?
I've never gone for long rides with a pillion... I've been on long rides with Rynox Nomad-2 bag loaded with luggage + a loaded rucksack and a 5 litre Jerry can... Did the infamous Kaza to Manali stretch without any issues whatsoever with this luggage setup during my Spiti ride. Also I did my Leh ride with the same luggage setup... But Leh ride doesn't offer alot of bad roads.. the only one I can remember is from Pang towards Keylong... There's about 2 hours of constant offroad... Which from what I've heard has been fixed now.
@@TheTwinPost what do yu think about with a pillion...will the bike be able to handle it?...just need to know if there is any issues with weight and all
@@gtmavericks2491 The bike can definitely handle it... I mean I've done 250kms with a pillion for a relatively small ride to Uttarakhand....but then there's wasn't luggage since we also had a car.
On bad patches you as a rider will be able to handle it well...the torque does most of the job but since the rear shocks don't have alot of travel...pillion won't be happy after a while
@@TheTwinPost alright... that's manageable...just wanted to make sure the bike can take a stress like that...with the luggage weight+pillion
Great info, where can I order the same handlebar clock ? Thanks in advance
Hi Vishal... Thankyou for the kind words.
I ordered this watch from a dealer through their Instagram handle (Sparenuts) ...you can contact them and place your order (Link Below)

@@TheTwinPost oh!, Had seen it there also, messaged them, no reply, their number dont work now also. Anyways thanks again.
Oh that's weird.... actually I checked their website as well and they have listed this product there as well.
sparenuts.in/
But I guess there's something wrong with their website too since I was unable to click on the product.
@@TheTwinPost you are right, i tried there too. Lets hope they get things back on track.
My wife is 5'9". Will this fix work for her ? I am not sure since the default pilion comfort on the bike was so bad when we did test ride. Or shall I buy himalayan then!
Hi Sudhir....even my wife is 5'9 and this has made a world of a difference for her....I've ridden as a pillion to make sure it works well. Seat customisation + this footpeg setup will totally transform the pillion comfort.
@@TheTwinPost That's good to hear.:)
Did you do any tours with her ?
I've done 170 kms at a stretch with her.... But since then there has been this situation of lockdown so couldn't really manage a long distance ride till now.....hoping to do one soon.
@@TheTwinPost Great. Looking forward to seeing more from your channel.
Does adding after market leg gaurd and sump gaurd void your warranty???
Hi Anubhav.... Only fiddling with the electricals of the bike would void the warranty. I've claimed warranty twice without any issues.
@@TheTwinPost could you please suggest where could I can buy Zana once online ..
They have their Int/GT 650 range available online on their official website...you can buy from there: www.zanainternational.com/himalayan/gt-650.htm
@@TheTwinPost thanks
Ninja300 or Interceptor ??? Which one is best to you??
Requirement = attention as a premium bike/ primary bike..
Ninja300 is a proven product and its been polished and improved year over year...so its a much complete product.
It's a sport tourer though... and with a 17 litre tank you can literally go anywhere without taking extra fuel along.
Catch is the comparatively committed riding posture....though nowhere near as agressive as a ktm RC.
If you can live with that riding postirt...and a non-existent pillion seat then sure it's a very good option.
The best part about the Interceptor is its low end torque...it pulls really hard without even twisting half the throttle. This on the Ninja is different....you need to twist the throttle and rev hard to extract power and once there you'll have a blast...it's super fun at high revs.
If you're planning to ride alone and want a PREMIUM product then yes Ninja would be great for you... Interceptor is not a Premium product....it's a good bike but not Premium.
@@TheTwinPost sorry sir for late reply actually I didn't get the notification..sorry!!
Okh let's come to the point...I want attention on public road coz I'm spending 3L+ but I guess both Int650 & Ninja300 can give me that attention...so comes to the next part ...if I'm looking from Performance perspective which one is great i'mean..which will throw me back by its pull & thrust coz I need that kind of thrust for adrenalin rush.. initial punch n all are extremely necessary so Ninja300 or Int650 coz I heard that Ninja is slow & lazy on initial & mid range...???
Talking purely about acceleration Ninja has all the power up in the rev range....if you ride it in low revs you won't feel the pull.
Interceptor pulls right from low end....but doesn't rev high... So instant acceleration wise you'll feel the pulled-back feel on the Interceptor.
Hi,Send me the link to purchase foot rest adjustment accessory
www.hdtcustoms.com/product/pillion-footrest-for-re-interceptor-650/
Bro will this fit on gt 650 ..plz answer this..i ll waiting for your reply plzz
Which particular setup are you talking about here...?
@@TheTwinPost regarding pillion footpeg shifter
It should...all the mounting points on both the bikes are indentical - since GT rider foot pegs are a bit rear-set - Hence you'll still be able to use these relocators with the middle and first mounting option.
@@TheTwinPost tq so much for the reply bro :)
You got new subscriber btw ❤️
2022 mai leni chaiye interceptor i like this bike?
Is price me Classic looks plus super refined twin engine me koi or option nahi hai isse better. 2022 me bhi ye bike ko lena banta hai
Bro please provide link of all these mods if available
Hi Rahul.... Please check the discription of this video - I have posted links of all the products showcased in this video.
What about touring with offroading mod.
This bike isn't ideal for offroading...it weighs 200+ kgs....and that's majorly the reason why RE isn't building a Himalayan 650 and instead is gonna come up with a liquid cooled 40hp 450cc Himalayan instead.
@@TheTwinPost thanks for the information. As I have also created my chanel and want to buy a bike for me, looking for these information's. My chanel is Bindaas DadSon
@@somirang That's great...will definitely check it out 👍
Also, what I meant was that it's not ideal for offroading... I've made that edit in my original response.
@@TheTwinPost actually I have one pulsur 220 and one KTM 250 adv. Was waiting for Xpulse 300.
Dominar 400 vs interceptor 650 which is best for touring
Being a Interceptor owner....I won't be biased.
In stock condition....the Dominar400 is better suited for touring... Interceptor is basically a street bike and requires few basic modifications to make it a touring machine.
On the other hand Dominar comes out almost ready for touring because of high handlebars and seating posture... All it needs is a tall visor and saddle stays and it's ready to munch highway miles.
@@TheTwinPost thank you sir
I would advise to go with interceptor as the engine is more relaxed compared to high compression Dominor engine. High compression engines are a touring nightmare as they are subjected to more wear and tear compared to long/medium stoke engines. So in long run, Dominor engine will deteriorate faster.
Also consider the service network and availability of spares into consideration. You can find RE outlets on NH everywhere you will go.
And if you consider the resale value, RE will make sense. And there is always a difference between Bike bought vs Bike built. Custom your bike as per your taste.
Hi SKB....Dominar is a really good choice at almost a lakh cheaper cost...But If I have the money I would go for the Interceptor every single time.
It's just that Interceptor is very good street classic.... It requires few essential mods like even the stock seat - Performance wise there is indeed no competition... The 650 rides in alot smoother and less stressful way.
@@TheTwinPost I concur. My post sweet heart is Karizma R 2012 model on which I clocked more that 1.5L Kms. I kept it with utmost care you can think of. But sadly plastics don't age well. Despite of trying my best i couldn't restore its performance.
My opinion is same for Dominor, it won't age well. For 2-3 years of use and abuse, it will be a no brainer though.
All these ad on should be considered by the company instead. Interceptor has only one thing good which is engine. Else everything is...
Showkar thik thak?
Ekdum badiya 👍
Kachra kar diya bike ka
Looks are subjective bhai... aapko ko Taj Mahal lagta hai vo kisi ko jhopad Patti lag sakti hai and vice-versa.
Meri bike ke mods se mujhe and mere partner ko long distance rides me help mil rahi hai and that was the intent of these mods.
@@TheTwinPost brother original retro look
@@mradulmt Original retro look doesn't solve many issues while touring
I would buy a adv in coming years and will use that for touring - and then I would make the Interceptor look as retro as possible because then I would only use it for city rides and weekend runs.
Alloy wheel lagao
Aftermarket alloys par bharosa nahi hai bhai... that's the reason I went for tubeless conversion kit.
Mileage kitni deti hai aapki interceptor?
City: 22
Highway: 28-29 (90-110 kmph), 25-26 (110-130 kmph)
