    Hi, what is the use of the crossbar on the Interceptor handlebars ? Is it ok to take it off ?

    Got this from our TN 650 Twins Group.

    Did anyone else also get this information?



    5299 for 4th and 5th year looks like a nice offer. An another one month time is also there to decide on the same. Thinking about getting that.
    They were offering it for other models but not for twins here.

    I had checked the Raida option; feedback (on this and for RE bikes) seems to be that the covers are a bit tight. The PolyVault options seems fantastic but expensive (5.5k onwards); but I wish there were options in a more affordable range.
    Amazon basic keep an eye on that one it covers everything if not raida then this one.
    I am using local one made like gun bought more than 2 years ago for 400 rs from local market. Azad market Delhi.
    Attaching 2 pics one is of amazon basic shared by someone using it and other is my Sirius under the cover.

    This is the absolute best one it seems, https://www.facebook.com/polyvaultsheltersindia/


    Then this one made by Raida also seems to work well for the 650 twins, https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07N8VGYLK/..._kQFzEbW6VCME1

    Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

    Interceptor owners,
    Any recommendations for a good bike cover for the Twins? With the monsoon expected in about a month, and with my open parking setup, I'm looking to get a good cover for the bike.

    Hey guys made this small video on the IAT(Intake Air Temperature) sensor of our Motorcycle. IAT is a important part of fuel injected Motorcycles and cars. This is relevant to most FI Motorcycles.
    Hopefully this helps someone who needs this Info.

    Thank you for replying, I would wait for the views of other users, one solution that was given to me was to install heat shields over the exhausts.

    Regarding panniers, I have installed the Zana saddle stays and have been using a rynox saddle bag( thrown over the seat). But I have run into two problems,

    1) As the exhaust is upswept, if I fill the bags to capacity then they almost touch the exhausts. This is a fire hazard and I have been looking for alternatives. Namely, as in the official accessories for the classic, the panniers are seperate and are directly mounted on to the frame/ mounting points for the said panniers, instead of hanging over like a thrownover saddle bag.

    2) In this regard, is there any variant of panniers that would mount directly to the zana saddle stays?

    3) If not are there other products that allow for mounted/bold on panniers?

    thank you
    Don't think any panniers can be mounted on zana frame. for this u need to make modifications to it.
    You can ask zana guys for details if they have any panniers matching the frame.
    Otherwise rynox nomad, bbg sports bike saddle bags are 2 which i know are made for upswept exhausts. Seen nomad on Interceptor and it didn't touch the exhaust.

    There is one person who got full givi panniers (plastic ones) imported and fitted on Interceptor cost 42k+ and big in sizes.
    You can also look for rynox expedition tail bag dirtsack gypsy, or the claw type bags without even saddle stays.

    A small update to my previous video on the relays of our Motorcycle.
    Kind of a correction which is pointed to me by one viewer.

    Didn't find anyone with this name on yt , any link to the video.?

    Excellent documentation on how to adjust valve clearance for the 650 series. Stu has a finesse for his explanation and in layman terms. Should come in handy for all the DIYers.




    Cheers!
