Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Hi happy owners of INT650,

I am planning to buy a INT650 for myself, but only after selling my R15V2 off.
In the meanwhile I am trying to understand how the after-sales service in Bangalore.

Also I would like to know if I should wait for the BS6 update.

Re: RE Twins Update Jan 2020

Seems like this way all around but in many cities few dealers has unsold GT so try different dealers. And book the bs6 for now the booking amount is refundable, other 350 bs6 have started arriving at dealerships , possibly other models would come soon.

RE Twins Update Jan 2020

Hi All, I am planning to get my hands on a Conti 650 and walked into a RE Showroom nearby. The representative told me that they have temporarily stopped sale of all models for BS6 update and I would have to wait until March for Conti BS6 variant. I asked if it's possible if they can manage to get me a BS4 one but they told RE doesnt have any in stock ?! What's your say in this guys?

Hi , this is not a good thing you should put neembo mirchi on the Motorcycle to save it from buri nazar(evil sight).[emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787].

On a serious note this is excellent fuel efficiency figures.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Hi, for me from 100-120 on 6th gears and highways have always got 30-31kmpl.

Some have got even 34kmpl when kept strictly below 100kph with very mild acceleration through the gears.

In City,
I always get around 24-27kmpl depending on traffic.

Cheers

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Light ticking is normal , Even i still haven't got it done no abnormal noise till now. At the time of my service there was ni such mandate. But still considering it is mandatory now the workshop should have adjusted it. My bike was tested by 2 engineers and both agree it is not needed as of now. Valve clearance should be checked at recommended intervals.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Milage of INT650

I have been observed that if I ride in a speed between 60 to 80 kmph it's give 30kmpl but if I ride above 80 that is 90 to120 kmph then it's give a milage of 27kmpl.

Pls share urs thought about this

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Hello guys, I had recently gotten my Interceptor serviced ( first service ) and they did not adjust the tappets as is mandated in the owners manual. Will I face any trouble? I can hear a light ticking sound when the engine is fully warmed up. If anybody here lives in Chandigarh please advise me the best service centre or FNG for this motorcycle, thanks a lot.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Late post. I missed my login credentials retrieved jus now. I wish everyone a Happy New year. Ride safe.
Few of my fav pics I have taken so far.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

The same reason why people buy Lambos and ride it twice every year. The same reason why loud exhausts are sought after. Well jokes apart, it's good to see we are at least having options. It's a fancy thing sought after the "American Bullet" company introduced them to the masses, at least that's how most know such a drive existed.

Now, each drive will have its own merits and demerits, depending on the designs and what not, but eventually these are for those who would like to say "hey, why not what gives, let's give it a shot. Perhaps the person might like it, or not but hey it's his moolah, it's his machine and oh the bragging rights.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

I don't get it, why fix something that's not broken!
If belt driven was aimed at solving a problem which chain driven system had introduced then whole motorcycle would have been dominated by belt driven.

The only bright side I see with belt system is there will no sudden wheel lock-ups like when chain slips off of the sprocket!

You eventually pay 4X more price on a belt system to do 4x less maintenance!

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Food for thought. Pirellis become Perilous after a certain time. Probably different compound and or hard wearing, but as long as things are replaced and issues taken care of, RE is doing a great job.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Yes definitely cheaper than original one, but same brand same rating and same tyre construction (bais ply) spoke with perilli guy on this. As of now feeling better front end control only more kms would validate the tyre performance.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Cheaper that's why! That's why you got one Re's coffer controller would have gone on full bonkers regarding replacements and warranty and lo and behold, you get "improvised" replacements.

And you're right Inder, those speculations were cleared once another gentleman here replaced the front end for a similar issue.

But, it's a solace knowing it's isolated to a tire and not the entire front end. You just never know with RE.

Cheers!
