Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
I had an experience where the Sump Guard saved the Oil Filter. I was riding on a highway around 80 kmph. The Front Tyre went over a pebble and the pebble was launched towards the air filter but Sump guard took the hit. I am sure in the absence of Sump Guard the pebble would have rocketed into the oil filter. I suggest using some rubber bushes to secure the Guard.Originally posted by theguitarfreak View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Thanks man, that's very comprehensive. I had the Hima as a back up because while I love almost everything about the INT, the ergonomics are a little iffy. Now the Hima has been bumped off by the 390 Adv as the #2 on my list. INT is still #1, if the buggers tell me when it will be delivered I'll quit researching other bikes.Originally posted by ninjatalli View Post

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Pretty easy - I ride it in Bangalore choked-up traffic on a daily basis and find no issues at all. With a pillion, the center of gravity shifts a bit and the extra braking power of a brand new bike is tough for the pillion rider; if you ask me the stock bike is better suited for a single rider (IMO), but a back-rest does wonders on that perspective. Have done 5k+ kms with more half in city traffic and I haven't had a problem at all. The lower gears are suited for city traffic too! Parking is pretty sorted too; I mostly use the side stand for short halts and the center stand generally is used only at my home parking spot.Originally posted by stoneshwar View PostThanks. I can always ask my wife to take the bus
My main concern is how easy it is live with the bike in the city. Handling, comfort, parking.
For city riding, the Himalayan does fine; but Interceptor >> Himalayan. On offroad/rural roads, the Himalayan does much better.Last edited by ninjatalli; 01-20-2020, 11:15 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Thanks a lot, [MENTION=89004]Ijs[/MENTION]. There was a stubborn rubber stain on my son's Interceptor 650. In the past, I tried in vain several Indian and foreign stuffs - ranging from Waxpol to rubbing compound/clay to vinyl cleaner - to get rid of that. But, it didn't budge. I used to have a great work out due to those unfruitful exercises. After seeing Ijs's recommendation, yesterday I ordered Autosol from amazon and got it delivered today. I tried it in the afternoon. The stain has gone without any trace after 4 trials in about 45 minutes.Originally posted by Ijs View Post

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Hello All,
Something strange happened today while riding my Interceptor. While riding, the bike suddenly went off. luckily I was not at high speed, pulled the clutch immediately and parked it next to the road. Switched off the ignition key and again turned it back. Everything was normal.
I believe the ignition unit to be the problem as I have seen some times the ignition is not switched on in spite of inserting and turning the key properly. Sometimes I have to hold the key and turn it slightly anticlockwise for the ignition to get on
Is anyone facing this problem with ignition unit or is there any electrical issues which I need to look for ?Leave a comment:

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Ear drums shattering sound and definitely attracts cops. There is one guy here who is riding with it since day one (2018) he is one of the first to get the bike. It is a real pain to ride behind him. Exhaust pops or crackle is sweet though but ultra loud.Originally posted by abhi1991 View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Guys what is your opinion on removing the exhausts, I was hoping it would shed some weight and many in other countries do so, making it look like an incomplete underbelly kindof exhaust look but I am fine with that. But exhaust note loudness and Cops are my worries? can I find some kind of attachment to muffle the noise [emoji28]Leave a comment:

As for the windscreen, yes the tall RE windshield is absolutely useless on the highway. Planning to upgrade soon.Leave a comment:

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Sump Guard here is the most useless accessory on par with the flimsy fly screen. This sump guard causing more noise and making cleaning a tough task, also removing the oil filter is a task with sump. Sump is only useful if the riders wants to do serious off roading each and every day he/she rides . GC is good enough for all the uses and belly won't be scraping any where infact the front of the bend pipes would scrape (personally tested while pavement climbing [emoji1787]).Originally posted by theguitarfreak View Post
If u are worried about oil filter then do know it is strong enough to withstand the knocks from flying stones etc, for a fact u need a drill to make holes in it or something strong with a hammer.
Fly screen , well it just looks good otherwise no use can't deflect any wind. And flimsy enough that u can easily break it.Leave a comment:

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
It is indeed the sump guard making noise while engine is running. You figured it out from one message, and these service guys could not hear it in person.Originally posted by jazzysaravana View Post
I tried tightening it with the allen key but it seems to be tight enough. But when i hold the sump guard firmly with the hand, rhe noise goes away.Leave a comment:
