Wobbling Issue and Solution and Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650
Finally. After months of trying and documenting, I've finally managed to find solutions to this 'wobbling of front tyre' for the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650.
I've tried to cover all the possible solutions that can help solve it. If there are anymore solutions beside these then please do let me know, I will cover those in the future videos.
I would like to point out that the issue could be solved by just changing the tyres.
(solution 5) However if you are have installed new rubbers and are still facing this issue, then you might want to try the other solutions.
The tyres that I have are dual compound and are from the brand Timsun.
I got them from Torque Block.

Tyre Profile
Front - 100/90/18 and Rear 150/70/18 (this is how it should have come from the factory in my opinion)
I'd like to thank @speedmonksperformancecentr4332 for helping me with the installation.

I own a 2019 RE Interceptor, one of the earliest models since its launch in Nov 2018. Purchased in Jan 2019, it initially had a wobbling issue above 100 kmph. Surprisingly, a simple fix resolved it. A puncture led me to a local tyre shop, where I discovered the tube was incorrect for an 18-inch rim, likely intended for a Honda Unicorn or Shine. Changing to the correct size tube eradicated the wobble, even at speeds of 160 kmph. Check your front tube size - it should be 100/90/18.

Thank you so much for sharing this valuable feedback. The Interceptor 650 now comes with Ceat Tyres, but they are not tubeless. Otherwise I’d have gone with them only. Sad that people at RE showrooms will not look into this as their main goal is always going to be sales. Best to write to RE directly and sharing video feedback. I’ll try this once and address this issue.

Questions come to mind: 1) Did you check the balance of both wheels? The tires might have had uneven mass distribution, which manifested in a wobble as the rubber gradually wore down. 2) Did you check the lateral runout of both wheels with a dial indicator? The tire may have gotten distorted with wear, or the rims may have gone non-planar or non-perpendicular with the axis of rotation. 3) Did you check the radial runout of both wheels with a dial indicator? The over-tightening of a spoke points to this having been a problem the mechanic found. 4) Was the steering quicker when you went to tubeless tires?

@@SrinivasGanesh I made a mistake. I am actually running 17 rear and 18 front. I swapped the rear rim to the front for the new wider profile tyre and replaced the rear with a Racing Boy 17" 4.50 rim. Don't ask me why i did that i am new to motorcycles(clueless) and this is a common and popular mod amongst the twin riders here in Thailand so I went along with it. Lol. Good thing is, it turned out good(beginner's luck lol). Bike feels more eager to lean and those mt60rs give me alot more confidence than the stock pirellis. Wobbling went away like magic. Thank God. The stance of the bike changed a little. More aggressive now imho. Total damage was less than 500 dollars all in. 1 rim, tyres front and rear and balancing, alignment. It was alot of work. But worth it. :)
I own an interceptor 2022 model, I actually bought it after watching your videos Sri, even this one. I didn't experience any wobbling issues on my interceptor but now after 5000kms I am having it on my bike as well, I have the stock ceat tyres installed, I have reported it to Re service center and they weren't able to do anything about it as well.

Taking my Intercetor in this week to have a new ECU fitted under Warrantee. The bike cuts-out randomly.

Problems? No problems, slight wider rear tyre meaning more contact patch on the road for better traction. It is very much safe to do so. It sits comfortably between the sprocket and the swing arm. Fuel consumption remains unchanged at 24-25 kmpl in city under ideal conditions. I’m not that enthusiastic in reaching top speed. I whole heartedly believe in cruising at under 120 kmph.

I recently experienced wobbling on my almost new (2000 kms clocked a few days back). This has never happened while riding with a pillion and I have carefully tested it at 60,80 and 100 kmph. On our recent trip (myself, same pillion and around 30kg of luggage), I noticed wobbling at 80kmph and haven't been able to understand the reason. As we are back now, I am yet to try out again and see if the wobbling still exists (with the pillion but without the luggage). A little context before I ask you this... Could the luggage be the reason for wobbling?

There could be one of the reasons that I point out in the video, could be because of the unevenness of the road as well. Luggage could be a reason as well, that is only if they were not balanced, or weighed differently on either sides. Please keep us posted if you were able to find the reason.

Gracias por tu valioso comentario. Hice revisar la tuerca de dirección, resultó estar bien. Este problema es específico de solo un lote selecto de Interceotors BS6 que tenían pirelli phantom sport como neumáticos OEM. Este lote salió entre principios de 2020 y mediados de 2021. Y ese problema son los neumáticos. Algo raro y malo en este lote de llantas pirelli. Por lo tanto, Royal Enfield ahora lo ha cambiado a Ceat Tyres. Estos neumáticos ahora son de cámara. Pero como he instalado un kit outex, prefiero ir con un neumático sin cámara. Por lo tanto, fui con Timsun. No es tan caro como Pirelli Scorpions, pero tampoco es barato. Gracias otra vez. ¡Deseo que tengas un hermoso fin de semana!
Going through this nightmare now .. Front tire next..Fingers crossed..

Hey! Great in-depth video. I have a weird and different issue. My bike does not wobble(handle bar almost vibrating) at 100kmph. But as soon as I hit 130-140kmph, the front starts to wobble(in a slow motion). I do not know how this problem is originating.

Ceat has less wobbles, but they are tubed. Meaning if you have an outex kit installed or a way2speed solution put to your rims, the air would still escape, since the tyres do not have a tubeless profile. But I'll ask around more about these tyres.

Hi guys, just confirming that even the newer bikes coming in with CEAT have wobbling issues. I've barely done around 3-4k kms on my bike and the issue has been there for the last couple of thousand kms. Thanks Sri for your video, looking forward to changing the tyres asap, before the monsoons hit Mumbai. I absolutely hate the current one's, what would you recommend for a new set?

Since I have outex kit installed not anyone can do the wheel alignment on my motorcycle. Due the spokes, and the outex tape installed inside, air will leak from the spokes, I have addressed this issue in the video too.
Funny this came up in my feed, I picked up a Honda CBF1000 in the UK recently and they all wobble like this when you take your hands off the bars. Wonder if it's the same cause! I think if a bike is a bit tail-heavy it exacerbates issues you see from tyre wear etc.

Hi Sri. Great video. A few comments and questions I had: 1. 17 inch front alloys isn't feasible because of brake calipers and disc mismatch anyway. Did some research on it. 2. Can you please specify the required tyre pressures for these. 3. When we change the tyre size, do we need some adjustments in suspension setup too? 4. Outex is a bit expensive, what are your thoughts on way2speed conversion kit? 5. If we get the conversation kit, how can we assure that we don't face the air deflation issue? Would love your response on these. Thanks.
@SrinivasGanesh

Required tyre pressure as stated on timsun website is 40 front 40 rear. But I use 39 in front. I don't believe any adjustment is required in suspension, unless ofcourse you are planning on touring with luggage. Way2Speed is okay, I just don't really think that it is levelled enough, but it is surely good. Outex was a personal preference. Nothing wrong with way2speed. you won't face air deflation issue at all, unless you take it a local mechanic, don't tell him you have outex installed and ask him to tighten the spokes. The spokes will then disrupt the tape on the inside, you wheel, however now balanced, will be leaking air that you won't even know about. And that is what I have talked about in this video.

I just got my continental a month ago and it's had wobbling at high speeds. But I noticed it's not constant, it's imperfections in the road. I can literally feel everything. My first thought that made sense was suspension. Anything else would happen constantly. Just don't want to buy new suspension lol

As the people at RE service centre told me, "If the suspensions aren't leaking any oil, then they are good". You don't have to change the suspensions. Unless you want to milk the performance out of your 650 like most 650 owners out there. Including myself. :P kzread.info/dash/bejne/f5iW1LivdJvekc4.html
Hello, I have clocked 13.5k kms on my interceptor.. The tyre look good .. but they started to wobble after crossing 80kmph(leaving both the hands). Could you suggest me anything with your experience.. I have taken the bike to SVC, they tuned the wheel, checked the foundation bolts.. said they were loose and now the issue is solved, but again.. that is still persisting.. Could you help me out

Use the tyre depth measuring tool to measure the tyre depth. Many a time the tyres 'look' good but are not. So that is the only sure shot way to find out. If the tool says the tyre is worn out then you know the solution.

Hey! Thinking to go for a thicker grade suspension oil instead of upgrading the entire setup. Would you suggest it , also would it stop the wobbling issue ?
@SrinivasGanesh

wobbling can be due to several reasons like I pointed out in this video. Having a thicker oil can make the suspension stiff. no doubt but it will remain that ways. If you really want it, then by all means, go for it.

That is 100% true. I’ve also been told if you buy pirelli tyres as opposed to the ones that came fitted from factory. There’s a big difference in the quality. Not sure how much of that is true but I found it to be interesting.

It is on select batch of motorcycles. And primarily due to the front tyre. It will start to happen after 7-8k kms, or in some cases even after 3k kms. But get the tyres changed under warranty and you're good.
after changing tires, it is necessary to do balancing ...

Hi, the 6th thing would have been re-grease and re-torque the trailing arm bearings. Another thing would be upgrade the rear shock absorbers. There have been motorcycles manufactured where the rear of the bike would wag the front. Hope you wobble stays cured.

Hello Sri Ji, I'm planning to get both my tyres changed, I would like to know : 1.If going to 150 rear tyre from 130 changes the acceleration in any way 2. Do you see any difference when there are twisties and you're leaning around corners? 3. Can these do off road to some extent?

Changing the tyres from 130 to 150 section does not affect the acceleration. They performed well in little off-roading. Though I must tell you something that you probably know already. This motorcycle is not meant to be ridden off-road. It’s a road/ city bike. Lets talk off-road touring - Interceptor 650 kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z2GKw5mph5bWaZc.html There’s an entire series on me off-roading with this motorcycle in Spiti. Do check it out.

The wobbling, in my motorcycle, was due to tyre manufacturing defect. Hence upon changing that, the wobbling was gone. Steering damper won’t be able to reduce wobbling if it is caused by bad tyres.
