[@nexuspurnea5140]

Omg, That’s awesome, The way serviceman do all that stuff so nicely, I wish meri bike bhi isi tarah pyar se service ho.

[@SrinivasGanesh]

hehehe these guys are awesome!

[@diaryofawanderingboot]

You need to use some flushing oil, to fully get rid of the engine flush or the remenants will stay in the oil pan bottom ,not good for the new oil . Instead if using the flush, early oil change intervals could be way better. Like 4-5000 kms. I opened my engine up due to the gear teeth breaking to overhaul the gear box at 47000 kms and the Enfield mechanics were amazed to see the lack of carbon bhild up even after this long a run. The stock oil is cost effective for this type of early interval plans. Wont say it's the best way, but it did work to keep the internals clean.

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'll definitely keep that in mind for my next service.This was very insightful indeed!

[@diaryofawanderingboot]

The royal Enfield service centers connect thr diagnostic tool that helps bleed the full system using the abs motor. Do try that once, the change in pedal feel is just different.

[@cooolben5]

That is mad genius to use the OBD scanner and the ABS motor like that!! Wow!!

[@diaryofawanderingboot]

@@cooolben5 it's actually how we are supposed to do it. Is what I was told. But techs are always looking to get away with a bit less work as most folks had been used to servicing non abs bikes. The line too will hold old brake fluid, people won't be able to get that out with this method is what I was told. Anyways everytime the pads are inspected or the clippers are cleaned I just get them to use the machine to put in in the bleeder mode. You can instantly feel the pulsing when the motor gets going. It'll tell when to pump brakes ,when to hold and when to loosen the bleeder valve and close it.

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Ohh will try that out for sure!!

[@puneetbahuguna]

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Great choice!

[@danpaul6774]

If i am not wrong , we should not be revving the engine while flush is there as it reducing its lubricating property leading to wear and tear . BTW nice video as always

[@haydendemenezes2460]

You are 100% right. Flush is not even needed in reality.

[@diptimandas96]

If your bike's age is less than 3 years, you can change your bend pipes under warranty. I got it changed under warranty. Same rusting issue was there. 😊 This may help someone.

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Oh!! I so wish I knew this before! I got my bike on March 23 2020. 😭

[@SUPRATIMDUTTA-oj1ns]

One very serious thing about engine flush ___ its risky to use engine flush >>>>>> agar theek se mix nehi huya .... it stays on the engine walls and get mixed with the new oil poured >> uska viscocity ruined kar deta and makes it very much prone to engine siege .

[@johnk7814]

Hey Srinivas 🖐not seen the oil additive to thin the oil before but time is money for the tech I guess😁 I let mine drain for hours but thats interesting 🤔. Dot 5 brake fluid not sure why he used that though very high temp fluid two grades higher than your car🙃 manual calls for Dot 4. Namaste 😊

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Hi John! Yes that makes the process a lot quicker and reduces the labour charge when getting the motorcycle serviced. hehehe Yes manual calls for DOT4 however they told me that this is kinda better than DOT4 and then I read about the two fluids. While it is true that DOT5.1 is used for machines operating at a much higher temperature, however I settled for the fact that DOT 5.1 lasts much longer and provides a better heat resistance. Because it is India. We operate at a much higher temperature as is. haha Further researching I found out that both DOT4 & DOT5.1 are glycol-based brake fluids and that they are compatible with each other, which means they can be readily mixed without harming your brake system. Key point to remember is never to mistake DOT 5.1 (glycol-based) with DOT 5 which is silicone-based and should never be mixed with any other DOT fluid.

[@SanKiranKReddy]

3.5L or 3.1L isn't 3.5 L little over fill ?? for Inti ?? any issues faced or no issue ( this 3.5 is easy to measure and fill as we can buy 4 bottles and use 500 ml as fill )

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Correct, it is recommended that we add 3.1L however, these guys have recommended adding a little bit extra. We have always put 3.5L. And there have been no issues. And after you ride for a couple of kms, the oil levels get as per the service booklet.

[@papaygb]

Bro sucessfully Skip the engine oil filling part😂😂😂

[@SrinivasGanesh]

yeah cuz my camera battery ran out. So had to skip it.

[@avinashgonapa]

Hi Sir Ji , That was good ASMR of servicing can you please let me know the mileage of you interceptor and also could please help me on how to maintain the matt black engine . Thanks in advance

[@hari_krishna-01]

After watching carefully and shooting the entire process, in 2025 sri be like "DIY Annual service Int 650, step by step procedure" 😁. Just kidding..fan of ur DIYs ❤

[@SrinivasGanesh]

I just realised I had written Procedure instead of process. 🤣

[@ArjunDharve]

Annual "service" does not include checking/cleaning of brake pads, checking/replacing coolant, cleaning-adjusting-lubing drive chain, checking spark plug gap , checking wheel bearings etc?? This is merely vehicle rinse, engine-brake oil replacement under the name of "annual service".

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Thank you for commenting. I had already cleaned and adjusted chain myself. And spark plugs too. The things that were left were the ones included in the video. 🙏🏽

[@fredyph30]

I notice that you have changed to the Signature Bench seat from the GT touring seat. In your opinion, is the signature bench seat more comfortable than the GT seat?

Yep, I found the bench seat to be more comfortable than the GT premium touring seat.

I just need to know one thing Sri, How do you roam around with those exhausts on? I wanted to know if we can officially put it cause in Mumbai they do a lot of drama for this and I'm just being skeptical right now but I want to change them for sure

[@SrinivasGanesh]

I don’t rev them unnecessarily. And then they sound almost as good as stock. So they don’t. However if I rev then they too would be loud.

[@Incognito-m1]

What kind of bolts are those you have placed in the handle bar mirror holes

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Those are 10 mm blank plugs for your mirror sockets. Here is the link. amzn.to/3U1XURU

Hi Sri, great work….how’s the Dot 5.1 performing? Especially on the rear calliper

[@SrinivasGanesh]

It is quite good I feel. The only difference is 5.1 can operate in quite the higher temperature and is often used in race cars.

Chain and clutch sag. Get em verified and in spec. You shouldn't have clunky shifts

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Take care of your chain. Check the sag, and lube them frequently, you would be good to go. Thank you for watching the video.

[@NCCDRahulP]

Flush and additive booster more prone to engine seize right !??

[@SrinivasGanesh]

The technician said that it won't. They have been using it for about 4 years and no issues.

[@928__]

Was it done in authorized RE service center? I have a doubt if I purchase my own engine oil which is not liquid gun will they change the oil without any hesitation?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Mentioned in the description. And no they won't let you do that unless you've known them for a very long time and have a very very good understanding with them.

[@pranavsuresh8925]

How often should you change the folk oil and what grade oil would you recommend

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Once in two years. And it is a personal preference, thin would be too soft, thicker oil would make it quite stiff.

[@parthasarathy5222]

How much kilometers once you change engine oil

[@SrinivasGanesh]

You mean how long has it been since I changed the oil? Well this was done somewhere around 18th September and since then I have ridden it about 500kms. Before changing the oil I had clocked in about 8000 kms and a year had passed too. So it was due.

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Thank you for watching the video!

[@aasim175]

What happened to engine oil additive?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Added that too! Unfortunately my camera battery died and it stopped working, so I couldn't record it. Thank you for watching the video though!

[@santhoshar1785]

Hello Sri, is the oil flush absolutely necessary? As the flush makes the oil’s viscosity levels extremely low to drain it out to an extend, don’t u think some of the flush may stay inside and cause the new oil to loose viscosity faster?

[@prajwalbhandari4054]

Hey Sri, is there a tentative time interval we should get the brake fluid, engine oil, MoS2 shooter and additive shooter etc, servicing done to our Int650?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

you can do it once every 15000kms.

[@Maxxtorqq]

I am confused. The RE manual advises DOT 4 grade brake fluid. Any specific reason for changing the grade in this service interval?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

RE manual is right, however, there is no harm in using DOT 5.1 too. Only difference is DOT 5.1 has more heat resistance (boiling point) as compared to DOT 4. Other than that, they are both glycol based brake fluids and are compatible with each other. But, both should never be mixed with DOT 5 as that is a silicone based.

[@obtron]

Spark plug cleaning was not done? Or is it because of iridium plugs?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Spark plug was clean. Iridium.

İzlediğiniz için teşekkürler! Motosikletim toplamda yaklaşık 30 bin km yol yaptı. Cihaz fren hidroliğinin saflığını ölçmek için. Buna fren hidroliği test cihazı deniyor ve Türkiye'de Amazon'unuz varsa Amazon'da bulunacak. Ayrıca hırdavatçılarda da bulunacak. Fren hidroliğinizi 2 yılda bir değiştirmelisiniz. Benzin deposuna dökülen şey yağ temizleyici. Motor yağının çok daha hızlı boşalmasına yardımcı oluyor, motorun güzelce temizlenmesine yardımcı oluyor ve yağın motor duvarlarına yapışmasını engelliyor.

[@the_one_03]

quick question, why to clean the bike before service?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

I believe I answered that in the video itself. To help ensure a smooth servicing experience for the technician. Else mud and all can get hardened and make it quite challenging to open a bolt or two. Which can also result in damaging the bolt. And once that happens, the customer will complain that RE is not bothered etc etc as it is easy to play the blame game.

Sorry but some no no,s here, Shouldn't use a power washer on a motorcycle, No need to flush Oil, You need to be using Dot 4 brake fluid, No need to take off the bracket holding the Sump guard on, just the sump guard, No need for fuel additive❓, Nice splash on your handle bar's of brake fluid LOL 😅 A complete exercise in How not to service your Interceptor LOL 😅 Cheers Paul 👍

Thank you Paul. 🙏🏽 The splash of brake fluid was cleaned immediately. DOT 4 and 5.1 are both glycol-based brake fluids they are compatible with each other, which means they can be readily mixed without harming your brake system. :) The main difference is DOT 5.1 has a higher boiling point than DOT 4. Yes no need to use oil flush, that was used to make the work flow faster so that I don't incur a lot of labour work. And this power washer was not a really intense one. So all under control.

I sort of agree with you. However the Continental GT 650 has a cafe racer characteristics to it. The interceptor, I feel has not character of its own. It is upto the rider to make the bike asper him/ her. Which is what makes this bike very very personal. :)
