I recently bought a used Interceptor 650 Baker Express. I was using a classic 350 for quite some time and was wanting an upgrade. A very good deal came by, and I went for it.
My Bike is BS6 2021 less than a year old. Mileage on it when I bought it was around 2000 Kms. Currently it is close to 3600 Kms.
Soon after my purchase I found out bike had a starting issue where sometime after pushing the ignition the RPM will go up to 2000 and then bike’s engine will die. It was rectified by replacing the throttle body. Since then, things are fine in this regard.
However, the new issue I am facing is that the bike feels vibey. I can feel vibes on foot pegs. Usually after 80 kmph. But yesterday when I went for a spin and the bike felt vibey even in lower speeds. Also, on downshift after leaving clutch the vibes increase for a few seconds, its not the engine braking kind of vibes but more like some part is not able to move freely and there is friction in there.
Bike seems to be heating even in a 4-5 kms run. And engine feels harsh to ride. It doesn’t pull that well too. It was not the case before. I checked engine oil levels are fine. I regularly clean and lube the chain as well.
I mostly ride my bike in city and occasional short highway ride.
This a great turn-off for me as I am expecting the bike to be smooth.
Can someone please suggest what can be issue here ?
