Interceptor 650 Problems | Issues I've experienced as an Owner 🙁

In this video I've tried to list down some issues or quirks I've experienced as an owner of Interceptor 650. Now I absolutely love this bike but just like anything else in this world even this bike isn't perfect and I'm being practical here.
Do let me know if you agree with these points.

    Handlebar wobbling issue existed even before Ladakh ride...but it used to happen after 80 kmph....but since I've got Handlebar risers installed this issue has started happening after 50 kmph. My friend who also owns a Interceptor has this issue as well...and his bike is just 4 months old.

    handle bar wobbling problem is due to the spokes alignment in your wheels, just go to a tyre shop and ask them to align your spokes, the wobbling will go.

    Gonna get bar end mirrors. And thanks for the heads up on wobble. I'll check it out first thing when I get delivery of the bike. Some people say tightening the spokes and checking air pressure fixes it. Some other say it's a wide known issue, so some dealers swap them out for other tyres without a fuss. I don't know if they would do so in India, but will try.

    Sub'd to your channel. Quite precise and to the point and no unnecessary music. As for the front Tyre wobble, try changing the fork oil. I've read on some forums that if you change the oil from 5W to 7W, that'll help and maintain that with the Tyre pressure. A few errors here and there and you'll get it solved.

Our long rides consists of days when we ride for 17 hrs too.... otherwise for city usage and usual 150-200 kms rides this seat is just fine.

    Handle bar shaking problem is very common in Royal Enfield there are few points u can check to fix it 1.tyre pressure 2. Check con set is it ok maybe to tight or loose 3.front wheel alignment 4. Front suspension alignment due to this your front brake pads keeps touching your disc. Now ur rear wheel bobbling only a good quality mag wheels can fix it the stock wheels can't handle the weight n speed of intercptor if you still want to stick to spoke wheels u need to tighten up the spokes every month I think that's a impossible task

    - I have a GT650, I have experienced no wobbles. Everytime you get a puncture repaired get the wheel balancing done as these rims are weight balanced. Note the small weights on your rim. Also if you want you can get a sealant done on your spokes which then eliminates the need of a tube.

    for hi-speed wobble kindly add 2-3 clicks of preload on the rear shock(considering stock preload is zero preload settings) it should reduce the wobble between 150-160kms speed (the method is to set for total sag same for front and rear ) on handled bar shaking at 70kms (now at 50kms) I guess should be the front tyre or front tyre is not balanced (for spoked wheels there is wheel balancing weights but it's limited to very few tyre shops)... try getting it balanced on new tyre since balancing old tyre is of no benefit.

    Hi there... Simplest solution would be alloy wheels but since RE hasn't officially launched one for the 650 (never trust aftermarket alloys) the next expensive option would be Outex which costs around 14k rupees. A cheaper option is (Way2Speed) industrial glue which can be applied inside the spoke rims and make it tubeless.

    For the handlebar wobble you can try adjusting the handlebar ball racers.... it's actually a trial & error method ....you loosen or tighten a bit & try out high speeds. This is how I got it done. Handle bar wooble may also happen due to excees luggage while touring & also due to incorrect tyre pressure. Apart from that the fuel meter is really just a show piece on this bike & as you rightly observed the only way in long rides is to keep tab of the distance covered. I usually start looking for a petrol pump once I have done 210/220kms.

However, to my surprise later I found that the issue was there even without luggage & after quite a few experiments like checking the wheels for any loose spokes & trying different tyre pressure , finally it got sorted out with adjusting the ball racers a few times.

    Hi Ghoul... After owning the RC for almost 2.5 years I realised it's not my cup of tea... It's riding position was just way too committed for my style of riding. There were minor issues in the RC as well - Once I got both the fairings removed and got rubber mounts installed in every joint to get rid of the irritating vibration sound (this trick worked). Similarly even Interceptor has few niggles but nothing that I can't work around. I genuinely think the 650 is definitely worth it...and minor mods I've made to it has made it the fit my requirements really well.

    Hi Vijay... If you're planning to buy the RC390 with touring on your mind then please be aware that your long distance rides will be really demanding for your wrists, neck and back. RC390 is basically a legal version of track machine with really agressive riding stance and no real comfort. You'll definitely enjoy zipping through mild city traffic on it but traffic jams is again something which won't be pretty on this machine.

One thing I've noticed is after filling 6.5 l after blinking starts at 2 bars, it is giving me somewhere around 150-180 kms. basically 25 ish.

    Hi Vaibhav.... City riding me to mileage fully depend karti hai traffic par. Peak traffic working day vaala ho to I too get similar mileage of around 23-24... But moderate traffic me in easily get 27+. Also on straight highway at speeds of 80-100 it gives 30+.... But I maintain a touring speed of around 100-110 which gives me around 29-30 kmpl. Fuel gauge cannot be trusted....I just look at it for reference. Handlebar wobbling is something that I genuinely think is an issue with the Coneset...will get it replaced.

    Regarding the handle wobble, it will scare you but there is physics acting remember. Your T stem or some major part in the front suspension is out of spec. So the faulty part causes the handle to move but the motion of the bike ( inertia) forces the handle to correct itself by going in the opposite direction. My scooter handle too which has a damaged T wobbles scarily after 50kmph( I know not in the same ball park but similar) and after deceleration pulls towards left. Try to see at speeds around 50 whether bike pulls to one side and raise the issue to RE

    Regd the handle wobble issue, it is due to the extra fittings attached to the chassis of your bike. I too had similar problem after attaching a pillon back support. Problem solved immediately after removing it. The NON ROYAL ENFIELD manufactured attachments like the engine guard and rear saddle with pillion back support cause this. These attachments need to be equal in weight on both sides and an easy fit. Not a tight fit. It imbalances the weight distribution on the chassis causing the wobble. Please check out this by yourself. Undo all extra fitting that are not provided from RE Accessories. It is something like a few grams of weight on a car tyre during wheel balancing can reduce vibrations in a car. It's some what similar. I'm not an engineer so I can't explain but it's just my logic. Believe me it works.

Although handlebar risers do make the position a bit more comfortable.

Pillion footpegs in stock condition are a bit too high up (becuase of the upswept exhausts) but that issue have been 20-30% solved after I got my seat customised. Now as the high of the pillion seat has been considerably raised and even the cushion quality is a bit more firm....pillion doesn't have to bend theri knees that much.

    Hi Mohit if you can live with the tube tyres then it's fine...but if you want to switch to tubeless then you either will need alloy wheels or tubeless conversion kit plus tubeless tyres as well since the stock tyres aren't tubeless now. Seat is fine for city rides....you can get it customised for long rides. In city it can manage once you're used to its handling....it definitely won't handle like a Duke. Bullet-500 is no more available in India. 350 cannot be compared with a 650.... The difference in power is alot....plus the build is alot better on the 650 which is evident in the price difference too.... It costs 1 lakh rupees more than the 350.

    1st problem is not just there in interceptor but most of the 2 wheelers with digital fuel meter. I've seen it in Aprilia, bajaj, even in ktm Duke 390. So that's something we have to live with. The 3rd problem you mentioned was of the speed stability. Well Royal Enfield is not a bike that is supposed to be stretched at speeds like 150 or 160 on Indian roads even thought the engine displacement is 650cc. It is supposed to be cruised at around 100 - 110. And about the mirrors, I think bar end mirrors are the perfect solution for the issue faced by you. Well these were the issues I feel were not something that could be complained about. Other than that the seat , the lack of tubeless tyres is genuinely something that has to be looked into. Well there's one more thing I'd like to say. After many years of having primitive designs and lack of features, RE has finally stepped up and given us two machines which are very good compared to what they have served before. So let's just give RE some time and hope to see improvements in it. Nice video :)

    Without a doubt I absolutely love the Interceptor and even today I would've bought the same bike if I had a similar budget. The mirror issue isn't really an issue anymore for me since I've gotten used to it. About the high-speed wobbling...indeed Interceptor is not meant to be ridden at 150-160+ ....it's just something that I noticed when I tried to hit those speeds on the expressway... I'm more than happy cruising at 100-120 on it. I hope you understand that these weren't things I was nagging about but things I thought were something that people won't be able to understand after just 10 minutes of test ride.
