Hi Paul....good to hear you're back on the road... thankyou for the support. I am also currently in midst of a ride... On to the hills 🙏

Ye log kamayegai kaha se Bhai 😂 yahi se kamate hainya 😉. U have to know what u have to do or what not. People who don't have that much knowledge or not from that field just avid riders will have to depend , get there hisse ke dhaake😁

What about vibrations compared to a ktm adv 390 or any other similiar single..?

There's a night and day difference Dharmesh... Ktm being a single cylinder would definitely be more vibey - but ktm even for a single is a little more vibey than others + the RE-650 is really smooth till 5k rpm and you would hardly need to be above that rpm range. Smoothness/engine refinement is one thing the 650 series have totally covered.

Hi Gurmukh... you're absolutely right. I'm planning to take this forward. Thankyou for the suggestion.

Mobile Holder on my motorcycle doesn't have the charging option..plus I don't have any additional lights etc hence wiring on my bike is absolutely stock. If there's any cutting in the wiring system then yes your warranty may get void.

Agreed .. that's the reason why I haven't added any sort of additional aux lights on my motorcycle... even the phone mount I've installed on my bike is the one without charging.

Then what could be the possible reason that they didn't charge for it the last time then 🤔

@@TheTwinPost The previous centre didn't followed the SOP. They didn't changed the gasket and probably didn't topped up the oil.

They did change the gasket....and didn't charge me for that either. Well maybe they didn't charge me...one off case I guess.

Hi Sandeep....if the bill would've said 'Haldiram Bhujia, Samosa & Chai' then I would've been happy that atleast I know where my money went 😆

😂😂😂😂😂

@@TheTwinPost 😂😂yaa bro

bro to be frank so pathetic service by RE,I am also frustrated with there services..No professional work specially by service center

😂😂

Never faced such an issue...hope they sort it out for you ASAP.

I have 17 year old pulsar. My battery was stolen after 2 years and decided ride it like that only. I got the battery installed after 1 month. By then the rectifier was damaged and died within 2 months. Which in turn affected the battery.. which died early. I was on college and always short on money. So this cycle went on till I replaced the rectifier and battery at the same time.

He is using a USB Charger on 12V Powered ON all the time it drains battery and if he use his bike for short distance and starting the bike 20 times a day and doing 5Km than wondering WHAAAAT HAPPPEND?

Did you have issues with the handle. The racer set

@@thehimalayanboy9924 no, im using the factory default one, no issues till now.

Hi Somil.... I only have a mobile holder without any charging option..so I haven't fiddled with the wiring of the motorcycle at all. The service center can deny your claim only if you've made any cuts to the stock wiring. If you have installed a plug-n-play unit of lights then it won't cause any warranty issue. Exhausts...well if there's any performance issues then they can point out the aftermarket exhaust as it's cause even if it's not. Always a good idea to install the stock system before going to the service center in such a scenario.

Good to hear that... Even my friend's BS-6 is doing just fine...though he has clocked about 1200 kms only.

Average ??? Per litre ??

City traffic: 23 km/litre Highway: 27 km/litre @90-110 kmph

Hi there... Sure that might be the reason for charges...but wierd thing is they didn't charge me last time for the exact same thing. Otherwise I don't have any issues with paying for the work they do on my bike.

Hi Amitava... Thankyou for the kind words.

Hi there buddy... In my personal experience I've realised that extended warranty is something you should definitely go for.... Why do I say that - let me put out some numbers. 1. My bike's RR-Unit failed twice which costs 3,500/- + labour.. My RR-unit failed both times after completing 5k kms....even my friend had a failed RR-Unit after completing 6k kms So without warranty I would have needed to pay around 8k for it. (Both times combined) 2. Recently the speedometer sensor of my bike also failed....I got it replaced under warranty for free.... This again would have costed me 1k rupees + labour. I bought my bike in 2019 when we used to get 3 yrs warranty instead of 2yrs now. I'm really considering getting my bike's warranty extended now.

Hi Vaibhav... thankyou for this suggestion - will get it checked in my next service.

I've only completed about 2.1k kms after I got the new RR-Unit .....so till now everything's going good.

Hi Vikramaditya.... After turning on the engine the battery & ABS lights do stay ON and the battery indicator goes away after 3 seconds and the ABS light goes away once you cross 10 kmph. So you're bike is absolutely fine 👍

@@TheTwinPost thank you so much for responding to my query.

Hi Pol...hope you're issue got resolved. Ride safe 👍

@@TheTwinPost Brother bike is still at RE workshop.

Hope it gets resolved and you can be back on the saddle

Service center guy told me that this part has a nack of getting damaged under high temperatures which are caused when the bike is ridden constantly for hours. Both the times my RR unit stopped working after long ride. So not really sure what the actual reason is. My friends BS-6 and another BS-4 version is doing fine.

The sound you hear after turning on the ignition is of the motor of fuel injection system.... but it shouldn't stay for more than one second or so.... If it's more than that you should get it checked from the RE Service Center.

Thankyou for the valuable suggestion buddy...I will certainly explore this option.

Sorry it may seem like I am spamming the comment section. But I found a youtube video which discusses what can go wrong and maybe it's not the RR unit at all. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJpzq6aIps2YdGg.html

Hi Chirag.... Yes I did watch that video from 'God's own Rider' from Kerala. Indeed Honda is definitely a much more reliable brand than almost all the others - it's just that I'm a little spoilt for power and effortless wave of torque delivery (52 nm). I did test ride the CB350 and totally loved it but still I wouldn't take that over the INT.... They do belong to different segments so I won't compare the two... But yes if I was in the market for a classic which can do effortless 90-100 all day, looks classy and is built really well at a budget of around 2 lakhs...then the CB is indeed a damn good option.

Same case with me....it's just that I got the RR Unit replaced twice within 1.5 years

Sad to hear that....hope you don't have to go through all that ever again.

Hi there.... Totally depends on what you're looking for... lightweight agressive tech laden bike which hates going slow... Or Classic looking, super smooth twin which likes to go slow or even at triple digit speeds without much gear shifts. I've owned a 390 before I bought the Int650... Today with this budget I would still go for the 650. It's egine itself is a gem. Reliability...well in 2.5 years I owned the KTM...there were indeed minor niggles (rear mug guard broke away while riding due to vibrations, fairings used to vibrate alot hence I had to get them sorted, plus in heavy Traffic it used to heat up to a level where it won't go beyond 4.5k rpm till it cools down. And you have to be really careful with its alloys if you encounter big potholes.

@@TheTwinPost thanks! This makes a lot of sense.

Hi Anshuman.... thankyou for the info. The guy at the service station never gave me a clear answer. So 'optional charge' means they could've avoided charging me for it...hmm...plus I had to anyways spend 800-1000 rupees for Uber (going back on that day and coming back the next day) since I had to leave the bike there for a day.

Yeah it is sort of an add on type of thing...if you feel you dont need those you can easily deny them for it. And i clearly asked the guy that in second service can i deny these charges and he said yes you can. I got my bike serviced at RE service center opp. Jhandewalan Mandir. And to be honest as you said even they are not certain about these things..they are just following what is in the schedule without knowing how to explain things to customer.

I'll try out the Jhandewalan service center next time then.. thanks man 👍

Hi there Toshal... The strongest reason for me to go for the Interceptor was it's parallel twin engine only - it's a gem of an engine. And yes you're right even I've lost all hopes of RE introducing alloys for the twins - especially when they swapped the tyres to Ceat ones which are tube tyres (at least Pirellis were tubeless) so even if one switched to alloys he'd still need to get new tyres now as the Ceat ones won't run without tubes. My bike came with Pirellis and after the mess that I got into after the first puncture I decided to get the rims converted to tubeless...and now I'm running the Pirellis without tubes which is a huge relief. RR310 is a capable machine indeed...but it is more towards sports oriented comparitively - I mean it's not as agressive as a RC/R3/Ninia300 but it's still a bit leaned forward and sporty which I personally don't prefer for touring. Engine wise well - 310s engine just cannot be compared with the 650... 650 is effortlessly easy on the highway and overtakings don't require you to ring the throttle. Aging : Generally classic bikes tend to age well.... I'm sure a 310 won't look as good after 5 years but the 650 would look as good as it does today because of its classic design. If your primary concern is tubeless tyres then 650 at the moment won't work... Since you'll need new tyres too to make alloys work.

Hi . I noticed you said you changed the rims to make it tubeless ... Didnt that void the warranty ??

Hi there... Not at all. Warranty gets void only in case any mod is made which either effects the engine (aftermarket exhausts) or the electrical system of the motorcycle. I've had no warranty issues at all.

That's really good to know 👍 Rear brake pads twice under 10k .... Hmm... I've just completed 11k and have just changed the front brake pads once... Rear ones still have about 30% life left in them.

Hi there...I'm glad you found my video useful. Mileage: City: 22-24 kmpl (moderate traffic) Highway: 27-28 kmpl (@90-110 kmph) The stock seat of the INT is too soft which is fine for like an hour or so...but anything beyond 50-60 kms you will be a little uneasy... But if you can get the seat customised by adding a firmer cushion and making the seat a little broader then you'll be able to spend alot more time on the saddle before you'd want to take a halt. I did commute to work on my Interceptor initially for about a month to get used to the bike since I was about to take it for a Ladakh ride and commuting on this bike is indeed alot of fun. You'll feel the weight of the bike at slow speeds in heavy traffic - otherwise it's a pleasant experience.

Now Re is flying high by selling defective UCE engines ,not a single person (RE.Netizens) are ready to agree ,many so called mechanic became famous . 🙏

Hi Nik.... My friend's BS-6 has completed 2,000 kms and till now he has not faced any issues whatsoever. So till now all things are good 👍👍

Hi there...your dilemma is pretty understandable. Within city traffic...the CB makes much more sense since it is easier to maneuver within city limits, would heat up alot lesser and give you better fuel efficiency as well since the engine is alot smaller...I did test ride it and it felt really smooth for a single cylinder 350cc engine (smoother than Meteor) and it pulled clean till 4th gear and the 5th one is just an overdrive. Interceptor on the other hand also feels really easy to ride because of its low end torque delivery...minimal gear shifts and the twin feels ultra smooth. If you plan on taking the highways then there's just no match between the two....triple digit overtakes are a breeze on this bike. If you are only going to do city rides.... I'd say take the CB....but if you plan on hitting the Highways every now and then... Take the INT650

@@TheTwinPost Thanks bro for taking out ur busy time and advising me. It is really helpful. 👍❤️

Hi Matapathi...I really thought/hoped that RE would've sorted out this issue at least in their BS-6 lineup...but sadly that's not true. One of the service guys told me that the issue is with the placement of this unit - as you might've noticed there are fins on this device which means it too requires air-cooling - but because how it's placed it doesn't get the required airflow hence it just heats up and eventually fries after certain amount of usage.

Hi James....it seems that the QC done here might very well be different from your place...because such issues have been there in some bikes here.

No Issues at all. Yes they have different Norm for Export and Import. Always :D The Desis get the sh*t and all the bike who pass QC are for Export

@@niionne6661 That's a shame :( I hope that they fix it for all countries. India should get the best royal enfields. They make these amazing machines!

Hi Ayush... software update takes less than half n hour...so I'm not sure what those guys were trying to do. I would suggest you to take your bike to Jhandewalan service center as at least those guys know a thing or two about the ECU updates. RE service centers need to improve a lot... really disappointing to hear your experience as well.

@@TheTwinPost i waited for 1 hour to check what they were doing. There were around 4 guys including manager plugging and unplugging from bike ecu,downloading some software in there laptop,Most of the time they were googling how to update ecu version 1. finally in the evening they called and told to check after a week about software. Well thanks for the support, will take to jhandewalan centre soon and get the ecu updated.

Hi Abhijit.... So did they finally fix the issue...? And did you get to know what was actually wrong with the bike...?

Not yet....he hasn't done alot of kilometres though. One of my friend's Interceptor (Orange crush) which is a BS-4 variant faced the same issue after completing 6k kilometres... He did the same thing - claimed warranty and got the RR-Unit replaced.

@@TheTwinPost it's really sad, after spending so much money! Its their best product, they should be a bit more careful about it. If the problem is found is bs6 too please let us know 🙏

@@TheTwinPost thanks ! 🙏

Hi Nagesh.... Call it in OCD or something else but i don't like using tank bag... Once I used it on my previous bike which scratched the tank and since then I just can't.

Modern day bikes (all of them) above 200cc do not have a Kickstarter...even the new 350cc engine from RE (on meteor) doesn't have a kick starter. Though modern day bikes are much more reliable but yes... in these situations when something does go wrong then "Dhakka Start" or jump start is the only way out.

True that 😃 But my question to RE is what's the harm in keeping it?? and how much extra will it cost maybe max 1k, and i personally think people will appreciate that. I can be wrong too.

Actually it's not about the cost since even a 25 lakh rupees BMW 1250 GS doesn't have one.... And your question seemed genuine so I did look for few answers and this is the best logical explanation that I got from Internet : Google: Because modern electronic ignition systems and fuel injection systems need set voltages and a certain number of trigger events before actually turning on completely. And no combination of kickstarter parts will get to those thresholds.

That make sense actually. Thank you bhai for clearing this one. Take care and keep posting videos. Love ur content. ❤️🙏

Badluck bhai....chalo warranty me change hogae ye achhi baat hai bas.

Hi Samra... Mere 2 or freinds ne jo new variants khareede hain Interceptor ke unme koi issue nahi aaya hai abhi tak.... BS-6 me reliability ke aspect se kaafi improvement aai hai.

@@TheTwinPost thnk u so much bro

My friend has purchased a BS-6 variant and has ridden for a couple of thousand kilometres...and he hasn't faced any such issues with it till now. So RE has made improvements to its BS-6 line-up. One thing you have to take into consideration is that the new BS-6 variants are coming with Ceat tube-type tyres which means if you decide to upgrade to alloy wheels in the future you'll have to change your tyres as well since these Ceat ones cannot be run without tubes.

Whoa that's really bad.... And yes it's actually the service centers that usually let's you down. I have explained people at service centers numerous times that I need to get the coneset checked and greased if necessary but what I get in return is *sab theek to hai sir* without even checking anything and expert opinions like *aap alignment karvali sir* ....it's becomes really frustrating. Washing thing....one person who I know rides a Mojo300 and says his bike gets washed at the service center without any issue. I too think that they either keep the washing area out of direct site or get it washed from a nearby place or something like that.

@@TheTwinPost yeah it's an unspoken thing. Every other manufacturer's svc does proper washing, only RE going on with the excuse. Few Bajaj svc went on to "Sanitizing" vehicles and charged 60 rupees for that when they opened on 8th june. Weird time that was.

Hi Vishwanath.... I personally haven't faced this particular issue with my Interceptor, neither have my two other friends who also own Interceptor. If email to RE isn't giving you results that you expect then the next step would be to tweet by tagging RE.... And if even that doesn't work then yes like you mentioned....legal way

@@TheTwinPost thank you due.... Please help any other owner you know with this problem....RE is selling bikes with defects and they don't care to fix them

@@TheTwinPost thank you sir 😊

Yes...this is the logical reason even I have come up with after thinking of all possibilities. I think they could've placed the RR-Unit somewhere else where it could've evaded the engine heat plus a steady stream of air. My bike has just completed 3 years hence it's warranty period is over...so now if the RR-Unit fails then I'll have to bear the cost of approximately 3.5k + labour.

Hi Nikunj.... Good to know you haven't faced any issues with the RR-Unit. I personally haven't faced any issue with the tappet sound.

Actual service cost 2700 to 3000

Yup... That pause that I took for a second was because I thought that biker was gone.

Hi Sagar, RR Unit or 'Rectifier Regulator Unit' regulates and allows the alternator to charge the battery, it controls the amount of power delivered to the battery.

😂

Same with KTM - Keep Throwing Money!

Hi there Akash... I've owned a RC390 (2016) for about 2.5 years and honestly I personally never faced any issues with it - only visited the service center for regular servicing which was rougly 2,500-2,700 rupees (for a 43 bhp bike that's cheap).

Damn.... Hoping for a better experience moving forward.

@Akash Paul LOL! Those are very minor issues with your Thunderbird! I have a 2012 KTM 200 Duke. The first batch had as many issues as the Himalayan did when that bike first came out. My bike went through the following in-warranty repairs within the first 1.5 years/14000 km: 1. Rear monoshock replacement due to bad paint. Replaced. 2. LCD console backlight started flickering and shut off. Replaced. 3. Fuel pump pressure fell below spec and caused reduced acceleration. Replaced. 4. Fuel pump mount points in the tank came loose due to bad quality casting or something. Replaced. 5. Fuel tank cowl started cracking at the mouth due to heat from being parked in the sun. Replaced TWICE due to repeat occurrence. 6. Oil started flooding into the airbox so the engine was opened THREE times! First time was at the second service to replace the cylinder kit as well as the coolant pump seal which had leaked coolant into the oil. Second time they completely dismantled the engine and wanted to replace the crankcase but I refused to accept their justification so they replaced the valves. Third time they installed a new revised cylinder kit but even that did not resolve the issue. 7. They gave me a new airbox modified by the R&D team themselves to fix the oil flooding issue. That did not solve the issue. 8. New 2013 manufactured engine which solved the oil flooding issue. The following repairs were made after warranty expired with my own money: 1. Fuel pump failed again. This time it just shut off. Rs 4500. 2. Thottle butterfly got stuck so I got an old used throttle body for 2000. 3. Idling RPM starting fluctuating intermittently due to electrical issues. Got new wiring harness and voltage regulator/rectifier unit for 12000 and 2600 rupees respectively. 4. Compression loss after the new engine had done 34k km or so. 15000 for a top end overhaul. 5. Speedo zero issue - alternator replaced for 1500 or so. I am not going to count the three front alloy rims and 2 rear ones that have bent/cracked from road use. This was before I started using my bike off road. The rear seat lock mount broke off the chassis so I had to get that welded back on. Pending issues - idling is not stable which is either due to a bad stepper motor, clogged idle circuit or bad TMAP sensor. Front fork tubes are scored and due for replacement. I will see if and when I can get the repairs done. You can see why I am worried about my 2019 390 Duke. That engine is known to blow its gasket. After some time and the electronics are expensive. My warranty will expire in 6 months and I have only done 4k km. At least RE provides extended warranty because it stands by its new 650 twins' quality. KTM doesn't because they know their bikes have issues. So maintaining a first batch KTM is expensive because they treat first customers like beta testers. EDIT: I remember one more post-warranty repair: 6. Both left and right side switchgears replaced as the flash-to-pass switch and indicator selector started malfunctioning on the left and the engine kill switch needed to be flipped more than once.

That's strange... RE service centers in Delhi are getting really weird now. I'm definitely gonna take this up to RE. My bike has been making thud sound when I hit pot holes.... problem seems to be with the coneset (as is with many 650s) but when I told the guys at the service centers about it... They just kicked pushed the front wheel a couple of time infront of me and said "nahi sir sab theek to hai"...a sophisticated way of checking the cone set 🤦

@@TheTwinPost by cleaning clothes (waste cloth) i mean the cloth used to clean any waste oil or any fluid that drops or get on any other parts which it shouldn't.

Usually this things aren't cover in warranty or even in insurance. I used to be technician at MB so i know it. But you can ask your dealership what exactly they used and why. If you think they added stuff that wasn't supposed to be used then you can contact the manufacturer. Dealership are used to this types of customer complaint and they will find excuse.
