    None as of now.
    You can use way2tubeless by way to speed. It is economical than outex.

    I just came across a YouTube video on Royal Erado alloys installed on an Interceptor. Does anyone has any idea about how reliable these wheels are? And any stability issue that might occur?

    Anyone used/installed the ADVTribe Engine Sump-guard and Luggage tail rack with back rest?
    How is the quality of the accessories? Any dislikes? Any issues?
    Planning to buy both and install on my 1 month old INT650. Any suggestions?

    I had this MIL glowing issue on few occasions, each time nothing came out in the Re ecu diagnostic tool. First Time was near the first service then few times for short duration. This time it was on for 2 days but again no error code and more importantly Motorcycle is running fine.
    So I tried few things and found the solution.
    Made this short video on the same.

Since I am aware of the cracked rubber washer on the inside of the fuel cap I knew that this could be due to water ingress. What was more interesting was that the bike tended to stall when leaned to the left side specifically. This was consistent with the side on which the washer crack was present. Have sent the bike for getting the problem resolved. Got a call from the RE service centre that the entire tank was drained and they found a fair bit of water inside. The bike is still there. Will update once I get it back. My bike is Nov 18 model.

    Owners of BS6 models plz check and confirm same problem is faced by you also.

    Ride hard stay safe.
    Quick update on the tank cap rubber washer which was torn and led to water ingress. Yesterday all three locks of the bike were replaced under warranty. A new tank cap was placed with an intact rubber washer. I did not find any significant difference in the cap design, it was the same. Hope this does not deteriorate like the previous one.

    All other interceptor owners plz check the fuel tank cap rubber washer and if you find it damaged plz ask for warranty replacement.

    Came across this on the net. What an absolute peach of a machine this is. Just goes in to show how good is the chassis and the engine. They have basically changed the suspension, tyres and front brakes. The stock exhaust was used for the trials as the free flow exhaust that the team took was beyond permitted noise levels at the track [emoji23]

    Did you buy the entire setup from the Maddog site or from any other third party vendor.

    Where was the installation done...any specific precautions to be taken during installation?

    Have you found any rusting or discolouration on any of the components.

    Lastly have you had any trouble with traffic police regarding the presence of these lights.

    Thanks in advance
    1) Bought everything from their site. They do have some authorised dealers too

    2) They have a technical team that can guide you with the installation. I gave them a call to understand the process and got it done all by myself in my apartment basement. The system if bought with the harness and switch is all plug and play, no wire splicing required

    3) I stay in a city where it rains too often. No rust accumulated so far. Discoloration in lens/unit - none

    4) Cops will definitely bother you, if you use it in the city. They may also put a fine for just having it installed. So I made small pouches for them from an old raincoat to keep them concealed. You certainly don't need these in city limits and you won't normally find cops on highways

    Make sure you mount it either below or adjacent to the headlight and keep it tilted outside and focused to the ground

I've done 2 night rides to Bangalore and back(1500km), terrible ghats and rain riding yet the presence these lights command is awesome. I'm guessing they'll withstand Ladakh too. I've mounted them right below/almost adjacent to the headlamp and am working on a DIY cover for them when in the city.

    You could also use the fork mounts but I found these mounts better and economical. The throw is slightly declined to the ground so as to not obstruct oncoming riders vision. Feel free to experiment till you find the best angle. Get a pair of these and you'll never think of replacement headlamp bulbs.[ATTACH]255520[/ATTACH]

    Thanks for appreciation , for the handle bar i would see what i can make in this regard as modification are not my thing. All the motorcycles that i have owned were kept in stock form don't like to play with dynamics and ergonomics. Seat cover , mobile holder and charging socket are my only modification [emoji23][emoji23].
    But still i would see what I can do in this regard. For the handle bar suggestions if you need to change the stock bar, then the AOM (art of Motorcycle) handle bar is the best one that I have seen for the Interceptor and it doesn't need any cable changes.
