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.

They might have been topped up engine oil coz they opened the chamber !! That might be the consumables !! But still their service invoices are too confusing from the very start !!

Consumables charge is actually the labour charge, most of the times they charge you for the other thing for the name of other (which are around same price).

Normally these issues happen, when we meddle with original wiring, like adding fog lights, new horns, even I had this problem, then I noticed, when RE service guys showed me the voltage output when they connected ecu with computer, there is slight drop in amp in alternator power generation, this happens when your standstill with engine off and ignation on.

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.

You should replace the battery. A poor ground connection, weak or loose battery results in the RR unit running hotter than usual and might fail before it's lifespan!

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.

Bro, it's sad that this happened to you. I got mine in May 2019. Have had no battery issues so far. One of the things I did was in the second month itself I got a switch installed to manually control when I light came on. This has proved to be a life saver. On Darjeeling ride in Nov this year, as I was ascending, my bike shut down on me couple of times and the yellow engine light came on. What this meant obviously was me frantically hitting the start button. Had the light remained on, I am sure it would have taken a toll on the battery. The other thing is barring winters, I do not think we need a light constantly running and again remember it's a bulb not an LED. Anyways, hope this problem is looked into and sorted out soon. But worth exploring the option of getting a switch installed for the headlight. Peace

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.

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.

When I bought a Honda I didn't care if it had a warranty at all. 3 times I bought new ones and never had a warranty claim.

I bought a lemon called Pulsar 150 Neon 1 year back which has had the lower Triple clamp, starter motor and rear wheel coupler rubber replaced under warranty 🙃, total kms under 4900km. My bike was pulling towards right which all service centers denied. After 2 months of back and forth with the svc I got connected to the regional manager who took charge and ordered to replaced the Tee. I beat you to this " replaced under warranty" thing but goes to show how incompetent the svc and sometimes your luck is. Didn't had to pay for replacements but time and petrol still pinch to this day. Their reason for not washing is a fluke. They usually say Delhi Govt in order to save water doesn't allow service centers and workshops to use water to wash and for now they're using pandemic as an excuse. This is true to some extent since you won't find any other svc having "dedicated" washing area visible from outside or inside their premises, thats just how good cop bad cop play of authorities allow them.

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.

Hi, what's your opinion over RE interceptor v/s RR310 in 2021. Was waiting RE 650 cruiser, but heard it's going to be more expensive than the GT 650. Also I don't think alloys & LED lighting are coming anytime soon on RE 650's at the moment. Was planning to buy either one of them soon. The only reason I like the RE is the parallel twin engine only.(A much better upgrade over my 8 year old Karizma ZMR). Although my major concern is the tube tyres, hence keeping RR310 as an option. What would you suggest?

@TheTwinPost

3 жыл бұрын

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.

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 buddy, I have started noticing from today that when I hit the starter button, the low battery sign keeps glowing for ~3 seconds and then goes away. I know that when the engine is not running all the lights on the dash glow and that is normal, but I want to know from you if even after turning on the engine, the light stays for a few seconds before it goes away or does it go away instantaneously? Point to note the bike was washed in the workshop today. I bought the bike in November last year and have ridden it every day since then and have clocked 4,300 kms so far. So my usage is frequent and the bike is never left sitting for more than a day. I would appreciate the feedback.

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.

Same issue for me bro.. 😅

RE bikes are made with 'cost cutting' definition. With poor and cheap quality spares, here we understand where and who the cost is cut from..😅

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.

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.

Wat will u suggest to buy, a CB 350 or Interceptor 650 ? I am a City Commuter , and own a TB350X. Actually , my Heart says Interceptor and brain is saying to go for CB 350. I know CB 350 will be more practical for me but still I am unable to shift my heart from Interceptor ! Very confused. Plz help !

@TheTwinPost

3 жыл бұрын

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

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.

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.

If paying 3.5lpa is not reliable , RE is not worth it. , even fuel is shoeing wrong reading then it's a big concern as it's a basic thing and a bike manufacturer since 1901 is having trusts issue, then RE is not worth it.

@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.
