Hi.. Dear... Nice video... Which brand visor have you installed..

[@Subh_therollingnomad]

Bro, let me say this first, that this visor doesn’t serve any purpose of giving you wind protection, so if you are looking for a visor, don’t consider this one. However, to answer your question this is the Touring Windscreen Visor for Royal Enfield Himalayan (BS3/BS4), here’s the link: rawriding.com/product/touring-windscreen-for-royal-enfield-himalayan-bs3-bs4/

Sir Is Motul really that good engine oil than the Royal Enfield service centre

[@Subh_therollingnomad]

See bro, firstly RE doesn’t manufacture its own engine oil, it’s only selling the engine oil of some other manufacturer with whom RE has a collaboration, that’s all Secondly and practically speaking, if you juat take care of the grade of engine oil, then it doesn’t matter, you can even mix two or more different engine oils of the same grade and use it in case of an emergency, just don’t mix two different grades and bike engine oil with four wheeler engine oil. That apart it’s okay to use any brand, I use Castrol Power One Ultimate on my Dominar 400, and so far i have had only one oil change on my Interceptor so far, and it’s been working fine with the RE engine oil in it.

[@Perseverance11]

@@Subh_therollingnomad I heard 10w50 by motul is far better than what RE. Is giving... but little confused .. Will it be a good decision.... Coz I really want to take care of my bike whatever it takes

[@Perseverance11]

It even reduces the heating and increase smooth gearing ....but exactly don't know if it's actually true .... I'm unable to judge coz I don't know how much smooth an engine should be and what is actually perfect for the bike

[@Subh_therollingnomad]

@@Perseverance11 it’s only the additives and detergents in the engine oil which differ from one brand to the other majorly. The more important factor is if your engine has good oil circulating inside or not, if the parts are getting lubricated before it’s running (or flying 😅) or not. So generally speaking, it’s okay if you are ensuring that the engine oil grade is correct. However, try one after the other, you may start with Motul and check how the engine feels after that, if the bike is really liking the oil, you shall see a noticeable difference in the way the bike sounds and feels overall- smoothness, pickup, sound, these can let you know if the engine liked the oil. But yeah, as long as you are changing the oil per the oil change interval regularly, and topping up when needed, it won’t be a concern. RE tries to give you what’s cost effective, but i understand your concern as someone who loves his bike, because i’m one just like you. If i were in your place, i would try the same, motul first, may be consider Shell also, and Castrol as well. I have had my Dominar for the last 5years, and it’s running like cream and butter with Castrol Power 1 Ultimate. I followed the same strategy with that- ride it with the correct grade oil, try out a couple of different brands and check which one the engine is running cooler with, smoother with, sounding better with at idle rpm, providing a better pickup with, that’s all. I used Motul and then settled with Castrol and sometimes Shell. Hope this helps!

[@Subh_therollingnomad]

@@Perseverance11 If there’s a choice between motul and the company’s engine oil, i would go for Motul surely, however i have been using the RE engine oil for the last 15k km, it’s doing alright, will change to Shell or Motul on the next oil change.

[@SubhamPuhan-pg7ne]

Your height?

[@Subh_therollingnomad]

Hey bro, for what matters, with my riding boots on i’m about 5’11” Else, i am a 5’9”er 😊

[@SubhamPuhan-pg7ne]

@@Subh_therollingnomad Is interceptor suitable for 6'2.5 inch riders ?

[@Subh_therollingnomad]

@@SubhamPuhan-pg7ne That should not be a problem, but yeah you may like to raise the seat height by installing the Deluxe Seat and the fork extenders would be a great mod for you to increate the height, you would love the Interceptor with those little changes made to it even better. The bike would strike just the perfect sweet spot for your height with the above two.

[@Subh_therollingnomad]

If you still feel that you need the bike to be a little taller even with the above mode, make that into a very effective 650cc off-road monster by installing 21 inch wheels at the front.
