Got my Interceptor delivered on 2018 December 29th. First bike in West Bengal. Till date I rode 15k+ kms had to change 3 sets of brake pads on both ends. Now pretty much everything with my bike has been modified. Way2speed custom front springs and preload with 130mm Travel (1 inch lift at the front) and a 1.5 inch lift on the rear. Custom seat, custom tail tidy, custom headlight and headlight cover, different handlebars and mirrors that are 2x better functional than the RE touring mirrors. Planning to get rid of the 18-18 wheel setup for a 17-19 setup next.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Nice! And you have used up 3 sets of brake pads? You must be riding hard buddy. 👍 Best wishes.

[@raaktalks2132]

Quality content Bosky! Thanks so much for this.. it’s really helpful. I took a test ride of this motorcycle and during this time, i rode the bike aggressively and also took her for a slower/lethargic spin. I faced a couple of issues. 1. Having ridden sport bikes alot, i kept on hugging the tank and i ended up touching hot contacts on the engine. Is there a work around for this? 2.second problem is then when i rode the bike, i kept the tip of toes on the peg(again a habit) this made me rest my heal on the exhaust and i burnt my shoe. I really like this bike but these things are becoming blockers. Really need your advise here.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Hi! Am glad that you liked the video. Thanks. And, since the Inty engine fins stick out wider than the tank, I understand your concern of your inner calf touching the engine fins. One solution is, you can consider pasting a regular thin tank pad as a base layer on the tank and then on top of that you can paste a set of thick knee pads. This way you can get about 1" additional width which would keep your legs away from the fins when you are gripping the tank. If you google, you can find various options. You may have to do a bit of mix and match though to arrive at a better combination of thick and thin pads. With regards to your heel, I suggest that you double wrap only that part of the exhaust pipe to protect your footwear from melting!! But mind you, the exhaust pipe likely will discolour under the wrap. there is no escaping this. Hope that these solutions can help make your ride better. Cheers!

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thank you. I suggest that you buy the Royal Enfield Touring seat. In most cases this resolves the discomfort issue. Slick got his seat done locally with some extra foam and padding. I tried the same at first and did not work and so I got the RE touring seat and things are much better now. Cheers!

Where I live, the asking price for this bike is an outright insult -- it costs more than even the new Triumph Trident!

[@sudiptaganguly1]

Dear Sir, I am writing to seek your expert advice on a dilemma I'm facing regarding the purchase of a new motorcycle. Having followed your blog and admired your experience with various bikes, particularly your Interceptor 650, I believe your insights could greatly assist me in making an informed decision. Recently, I've been contemplating between the Interceptor 650 2024 model and the Shotgun 650. However, I've encountered difficulty in arranging a test ride for the Interceptor 650, as most distributors seem to be prioritizing the Shotgun 650 or the Super Meteor 650 for test rides. Consequently, I was compelled to test ride the Shotgun 650, which left a remarkable impression on me, surpassing even the Super Meteor 650 in my opinion. Nonetheless, I find myself torn due to several factors, the foremost being the substantial price disparity between the Interceptor 650 and the Shotgun 650. The difference of approximately ₹65,000/- prompts me to ponder whether the Shotgun 650 justifies this additional cost. Furthermore, the Shotgun 650 being a new entrant in the market, I am apprehensive about its long-term performance and the associated maintenance charges. Given your extensive experience as a rider, particularly with the Interceptor 650, I would greatly appreciate your guidance in this matter. Could you kindly share your thoughts on whether the Shotgun 650 offers comparable value to the Interceptor 650? Additionally, based on your experience, how do you perceive the long-term reliability and maintenance costs of the Shotgun 650 compared to the Interceptor 650? Your insights would immensely aid me in making a well-informed decision. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Warm regards, Sudipta Ganguly

Hello sir, i had Interceptor which i bought in 2021 but i had to sell it due to the fuel pump issue. Despite being in warranty the fuel pump failed 4 times, twice leaving me stranded on the road. I love the motorcycle but the bad experience makes me wary of buying it again. Has this issue of fuel pump always been a problem and has it been solved now? I was thinking of buying the newer upgraded version now...your feedback would be invaluable..please reply.

I haven't heard of any chronic fuel pump problem.
