Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Did you install the OEM sump guard accessory Then most likely they didn't tighten it properly after the service.Originally posted by theguitarfreak View PostDid my first service. A new noise on the engine has creeped up. Its like a slow moving noise of old ceiling fans. There on idle too. These East India Agro service guys are really incompetent.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
So the inner brim means the tank is full then? 12.5 litres in case of my continental gtOriginally posted by Ijs View PostAuto cut happens way early as the nozzle is lower down in the tank , after the cut you have to ask them to lift it up and keep and eye on the level. Inner brim is the most you should top up to. I do this on every tankful.

I use fuelio app and whenever i fill my tank i don't know how much fuel is there in the tank.

I use fuelio app and whenever i fill my tank i don't know how much fuel is there in the tank.Originally posted by Ijs View PostDo a tankful to the inner brim of the tank cap collar, ride around 100kms or so then do the tankful again to the same level , now you can calculate the fuel economy with easy. The fuel gauge has it sown mind I also fill at when the last one starts to blink and always find bit more in the tank[emoji12]. But on the second thought almost all fuel gauges behave like this Never came across any fuel gauge which is 100percent true be it digital or analog.I suggest look at the other royal Enfields than Himalayan , as the cone issue is still there in Himalayan. Know few guys who have got cone bearing replaced 4 or 5 times one in 20k kms and one in 16k kms and others also having same situation.

Thanks for the heads up.Originally posted by Ijs View PostI suggest look at the other royal Enfields than Himalayan , as the cone issue is still there in Himalayan. Know few guys who have got cone bearing replaced 4 or 5 times one in 20k kms and one in 16k kms and others also having same situation.
Thanks, I assume you're talking about handling/parking of INT?Originally posted by svbhende View PostHandling is a breeze, parking not so much. It requires more space than a regular bike and pulling one out of the parking takes a fair bit of effort... I have not faced any other difficulty in almost a year of owning one.

My main concern is how easy it is live with the bike in the city. Handling, comfort, parking.

Since the day i've got the Continental GT i have been having a tough time guessing the quantity of fuel in the tank! I used to fill everytime the fuel bar starts blinking, but when i go to the fuel pump i get to know that there is already a decent quantity of fuel in the tank. Can anybody help me with the fuel bars?I suggest look at the other royal Enfields than Himalayan , as the cone issue is still there in Himalayan.

Is the Himalayan more agile? Is the pillion seat better? Trying to figure which one is easier to live with.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin
Now that this BS6 saga has delayed my INT650 even further (😭), I'm beginning to have second thoughts! So I have a dumb Q for you folks, in terms of urban practicality, is the Himalayan better than the INT650?
I'm looking for my forever bike, so it will be a do-it-all. Tour 1-2 times a year. Occasional weekend rides. And thrice a week commute of 50km (round trip), through b2b and highway. I loved the INT engine but the ergonomics are a little questionable. Is the Himalayan more agile? Is the pillion seat better? Trying to figure which one is easier to live with. Both have personality.
The off-roading aspect we can ignore. My primary two wheeler is my mountain bike which I ride (and race) often. So if I have the Himalayan I will take it off-road, and if I have the INT, I will just take my MTB off-road. Thus, the Himalayan isn't a gateway to off-roading.
Thanks!
