Unfortunately my manual was in Thai. And my RE dealer was only filling to,half way. 🙏

Why is it "unusual" to fill an engine, car or motorcycle, to MAX level? It has been my standard practice for 50+ YEARS. Of course I don't worry if the level drops below max as long as it is at or above min. Unless of course the Owner's Manual tells me differently as you have pointed out for the SM and some INT650 and GT650 models.

I’ve always been taught to be a half way man, as too much oil can be just as damaging as too less. The reason I’m pointing it out is because on my last RE service and oil change, they only filled my level to half. If the RE service technicians don’t know, I’m sure many others don’t too.🙏

@@Teacher-T-Thailand If what you say (the way you have been 'taught') is the correct procedure, then why isn't the MAX level indicator at the half-way point? Sorry, but I have to disagree with your teachers. (Obviously overfilling is never to be done.)

​@@doughoffman9463I agree with you on this one, there is a maximum and a minimum mark for a very good reason, and I personally think that the supposedly different manual instructions are just down to translation or interpretation, bottom line here when changed it should be at max, subsequently it might drop a touch but as long as it's not below min it's OK, however I'd top up if that was the case 👍🏻

Thanks for such a wonderful vedio,my question is when I purchased Interceptor-650 it was bs IV and petrol was available bs IV now Petrol pump all over the country supplying bs VI .Now bike is bs IV petrol is bs VI definitely suffer and laid %is reduced due to pollution and now govt also adultering ethanol up to 10%.Now what you suggest.

Thank you for your comment. Nice to hear from a BS4 engine owner. I would suggest sending an Email to Royal Enfield. I am sure there would be a way to upgrade your engine from bs4 to bs6 with some small modifications. And then the fuel issue would be gone. I am sure the sulphur in bs4 fuel helped lubricate the engine. Please let me know how you get on please. 🙏

just to add to the confusion my manual, which says close to max, doesn't say bs6, on the front it states euro5, so i think euro 4 may be bs4 and euro 5 may be bs6, you can tell the difference between euro 4 and 5 by the ecu under the seat

See we also know that 3.1 litres has to be put in that engine

This is wild. My 2021 Interceptor manual (Euro IV) doesn't say BSIV/VI on cover. But it does specify level should be between Min and Max. I wonder what the difference in BSIV/VI engine entails? Is it possible that engines are the same but RE changed recommendation based on real world use/feedback? These engines are known to be pretty tappety, even when in spec.Maybe higher level provides better lubrication to the top end?
