Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Happened 3 times with me that too without any moisture or shower, nothing came out of DOL tool (obd) diagnosis. And last time it was on for 3 days. Since then nothing. No issues in running or performance. Looks like it has a mind of its own. Service guys associate this with fuel pump error but again it was good.

Interceptor 650 Twin


I rented INT650, did a 600kms round trip and at ended up getting seat strips on my bum, which was very painful. Took two days to recover from the pain.

How do you find the stock seat setup on long rides?

And those rider foot rests are a pain in slow moving traffic, how do you deal with it?

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

The foot pegs and the weight of the bike are the 2 main reasons I have not opted for the bike.
I have heard the touring seat (official accessory) helps a bit.

But I have B7ackthorn say that , always get an after market 1-2inch seat cushion, provided your height allows to your bikes.
Supposed to make it much easier.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

It happens only ones after that your bottom get adjusted to it or the seat may be .For me it was 200 km in one day, i was scared to sit on the bike on the way back, thought to change seat immediately but i didn't. After one month i did 500 km but to my surprise i felt nothing.

Foot peg- you ll adjust to it, later it wont be a problem, i always fold my jeans, but that caused sticking foot peg on cloth so i had to change that when ever i sit on 650.

Weight- it will take some time to adjust, for me it was one month and 500 km, i was graduating from Yamaha Ray Z ,no other degree. Now i wont mind if it were heavier than now because the joy you feel on this bike is, no word to express.

[QUOTE=gauravtheknight;1382072]Took delivery today, ravishing red. Rode almost 80 kms in all types of traffic. A total hoot to ride, like they say, a ton of fun.

2. Headlamp is clear lens. Nice visibility in night. Although upper beam is focused a little bit higher than my expectation.

the same here mate, i showed this to RE SC , they said if i want it can be corrected during second service so ill do it later.
goo luck with the bike and keep updating
thanks

well its wise to consider sports demon (considering metzler, rating is good for demon), for your riding style a pair will last only for an year in that casee scorpion trail is a bit expensive. I ll have to see how long my Tyre last

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Headlight can be adjusted by you only, it's super easy to do. You 'll see 2 bolts on right and left side of the headlight dome which holds it in place, just loosen them a bit, adjust the angle as per your need and tight it back up.
Do the process at night so that you can see the level of the headlight properly [QUOTE=intr650;1382279]It happens only ones after that your bottom get adjusted to it or the seat may be .For me it was 200 km in one day, i was scared to sit on the bike on the way back, thought to change seat immediately but i didn't.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Bike turning off
My interceptor keeps turning off, first I thought it's because of the winter in Delhi but its happening a lot
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

No, never faced any such thing, get it checked out properly could be bad fuel or water in the fuel. First do this spry some wd40 in the ignition slot and clean that area , wd40 or use any other cleaner use petrol if u don't have anything. One or two owners have reported this and it was resolved by cleaning the ignition slot.
Do this and see if it helps. Otherwise take it to service center.

thanks i thought to do that, but my low beam angle correct and problem is with high beam.In that case will this work. The Re SC guy said there are not much adjustment with headlight. i forgot to check with other 650's.lets see

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

I'll surely try this
Today something else happened, my rear break Lever got free, 8 don't if the ecu is misbehaving or what, but it happened 3-4 times today while riding and it's dangerous as I was at 90 one time

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Were u constantly riding with foot on the brake paddle and it is slightly pressed, or were u constantly using rear brake in traffic before this, as this seems to be a case of brake fade it happens when it get ultra hot say beyond the boiling point of the brake oil. And when this happens lever gets limp.

If this is not the case then it could be some air in the brake line. Just get the brake bleed done to make sure there is no trapped air. And if this keeps repeating then get the major kit looked into and replaced if needed.
To avoid brake fade try not to keep the foot in the lever and if u have a habit of keep foot on it, then get the paddle placement adjusted to a lower angle to avoid your foot unintentionally applying some pressure on it all the time.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Hello guys , just made this small video on how to service the rear brake of the motorcycle. This would also help new owners in learning how to replace brake pads at home.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

This has happened to me a couple of times on my RTR 180 (2015 model).
It is an issue with the ABS sensor (the computing part of it).

Take it to a service center and have them reset the system.

As you mentioned, this is ridiculously dangerous, I almost collided head long as I was using just my rear brake lever, quick reflexes in using the front brake saved my arse that day.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Well adjust the headlight dome according to the high beam. Loose the bolts a little bit, not too much so that it remains little firm, sit on the bike so that it accounts your weight then adjust the level of the headlight while sitting on the bike, then get up and tighten the bolts again, this will give you the perfect low beam as well.
Do this at night in front of a wall so that you can see the level of the high beam [QUOTE=intr650;1382319]

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

[QUOTE=intr650;1382319]Well you can take reference to my headlight beam video and compare the throw and beam angle at both high and low beam. If there is no scope for adjustments and if it still feels wrong then could be something wrong with the bulb or the inner reflector for the dome.

Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

Thanks a lot, you seem to have a great amount of knowledge my friend
The turning off issue happened again when I gave my bike a wash today after cleaning the ignition switch , I think water and moisture are entering in the tank
Can there be any other reason
