Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Metzeler Lasertec rear tyre (same stock spec) has been really good in all factors over the stock tyres over the last almost 4500 kms.Originally posted by intr650 View Post
It just takes a very small time to heat up. After that the grip is very sticky be it wet or dry. High speed stability and cornering has been great. I kinda feel it returns almost the same fuel economy on city rides and slightly better fuel economy on highways than stock.
It also seems to have better longevity than stock Sportscomp too. Let's see how long they last. If it comes for another 10,000-15,000 kms I'd be happy.

There is more than enough power for our roads. Loads of torque wherever you need it with just a twist of the throttle from that sweet engine. Even after almost a year she catches everyone's envious attention.
So simple and classic design lines, yet makes a lasting impression everytime you see her.
In 3 days it's my Red Queen's first anniversary and I was supposed to ride to Goa and be sipping Feni and exploring beaches..
Haha
But our Mother Earth has other plans and has sent us back to our homes and locked us to think about what we are doing to her by unleashing a pandemic.
Hopefully Mother Earth will be kind and we will learn as a community and triumph over this challenging times.
Cheers!
jazzyee how good is Lasertec in comp with Sportscomp, grip, look and fuel eco etcLeave a comment:

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Ceramic coating only protects against minor scratches and swirl marks and The white colour of Baker Express doesn't show them, so no point in spending money on it, get a paint protection film, that's a better option.Originally posted by kanahanin View Post
Getting a new tank or a repaint isn't that expensive option as well, i just use 3m wax regularly on my black coloured GT and all is good.
Never use open face helmet, they are of no use, your face remains completely exposed and offer no proper protection, like [MENTION=89004]Ijs[/MENTION] said look at mt or other helmets at spartanprogear websiteLast edited by yashasvi; 04-08-2020, 11:01 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
For helmet you can look for smk twister and and glide or something from MT.Originally posted by kanahanin View Post
You will get Matt options on both brands.
Smk also comes in matt white.
Ceramic coating should be your choice and the person doing it should be a expert and using good product.
Sometimes these coatings costs more than the price of a new tank. Look for warranty and maintenance package in coating.Leave a comment:

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Hey guys,
Now that I'm stuck at home I was watching some Youtube videos and it gave me some ideas regarding my new bike . My Baker Express has no coating on it and many people suggested getting ceramic coating done on the bike. What are good ones to go for? I heard a lot about Always dry on youtube, how costly would it be? and should I go for it?
The second question is regarding helmet, the open faced helmets look great on Interceptor but are not good in case of head on crashes. Can you guys suggest me some matte finished good helmets? I'm willing to spend not more than 7k but it should go with the look of the bike. I'm staying in hyderabad if that helps.Leave a comment:

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
I recommend 10mm multi strand wire the one use to make power line connection from main meter to house junction box.Originally posted by Auto View PostVery informative video. I drove down to my hometown to survive the lockdown, and I expect my battery to have drained n both my Interceptor as well as my CBR
I was thinking of buying a jumper cable before I get back home to start the motorcycles up. But looks like I don't have to - after seeing your video.
Can you share the spec of wire that you most recommend among the ones you had mentioned in the video?
I would be charging the motorcycles with my car battery - while ensuring that the car is not running, as advised by you.
Otherwise the 6mm or 8mm both works as these can easily take load of multiple ACs running simultaneously. The one i used in the video was a old wire from air-conditioning connection.
And you don't need to charge the Motorcycle battery from car. Just jump start the Motorcycle it take only few seconds and keep it running for 15 minutes or so. If it doesn't start in multiple attempts then get the battery charged from outside. Take 20 seconds rest in each attempt 3 or 4 attempts are ok.
Other thing which i have done is to charge the Motorcycle battery with house inverter. Did it once for a friend's Motorcycle we took the Motorcycle battery and connect it with home inverter directly after taking off the inverter battery and kept the charging at low current and disconnected it after 4hrs and it worked.Last edited by Ijs; 04-07-2020, 01:21 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Hello guys made this simple video on how to jump start your Motorcycle in case the battery fails due to long term non usage.
Hope it helps you, if u already don't know how to do it.
Process is same for all Motorcycles just the location of battery is different.Leave a comment:

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Hi everyone
Just made this small video on fuel pump and starter relay. This would be helpful in case u face breakdown due to pump or starter not working. Sometimes it is just a lose connection.
There are other diy videos on the channel if you want can check those out too.
Hope it would be helpful for someone.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Hello guys this is a simple video i have made on how to clean the air filter of our Motorcycle.
At least this is something we can do while living under lockdown.
Hope you like it.
Next one on the fuel pump and starter relay would be uploaded soon possibly today it just needs some editing.
Hope you like this.Leave a comment:

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Thanks for the details Indrajeet 👍 Would like to try if there are no other issues, ofcourse when things return to normalcy 🙂Originally posted by Ijs View Post
That's assuring 👍 Cost wise I feel this is one option which is worth a shot to make Int tubeless.Originally posted by jazzysaravana View PostLeave a comment:
