    Yes but that was installed 2 weeks back. No issues all this while. Still i will have a look.

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.

Can anybody help me with the fuel bars?

    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!
