@@shantanurastogi Hey Shantanu thank you so much for your kind words. I run an NGage air filter with a stage 2 plate so my experiences might not be the same as yours. However, I would suggest you also experience the difference a derestricted air filter along with a relative derestricted exhaust (after market headers would derestrict the exhaust completely) + the bump up of fueling that the FuelX pro gives you. In terms of the difference between level 2 and level 7, this became most obvious to me when riding with a pillion (increased load) at higher fuel x setting (level 8 for me) I felt a marked different in low end torque and effort from the engine in the pulling from stand still and especially uphill under the increased load. Ofcourse this is based on a seat of the pants feel and intuition, I don’t have actual numbers to back this up.

@@jaydgun thank you so much! Glad to know that my video has let you to reconsider letting go of the INT650 - which is a great machine with some obvious flaws. Hope the suspension works for you. Please update this comment with your experience once you install the way2speed suspension.

I would suggest the Xpulse Pro Rally Edition. Second-hand ones are going for good deals right now in anticipation of Xpulse 2110.

@@alroymenezes will my height be a problem in the rally edition? 210 will be a bit heavier so that is my only gripe with the 210

Only way to know would be to get a test ride.

@@alroymenezes fair, thank you

yes

@@sriramramamoorthy1589 yes!

On this test ride it was at its softest setting.

@@alroymenezesgetting the 450 would be an ideal single bike garage then!

I am around 5 feet 10 inches.

@@sauravshete6088 Congratulations, the 249 is a real stunner! Ride safe and enjoy! Personally I found the rear too stiff since I have a back injury but if it works for you, that’s most important. The Xpulse Pro suspension can be adjusted and is much more forgiving than the Bear650, would you agree?

@ absolutely the xpulse just floats over everything you throw at it. Many times you don’t even register how bad the surface is that you’re riding on. But I guess it’s cool to have a hot rod and an off roader as well in your garage :P sadly if we try and go combine the two we have to buy grandpa ADVs😂 Love advs too but the I’m too much in love with the Bear’s aesthetic and vibes, so much so that I’m willing to live with all the shortcomings :) for me it’s that bike that you absolutely turn back and look at after you’ve parked it, as you walk away from it :):):):) Ok my xpulse looks badass too hehe but you get the point :)

Congrats, I got mine two weeks back. I heard that the Hero Maverick 440 rear suspension is good. Is that possible to fix the same with Bear 650? Either we have to change it or have to wait to get it softer after 5000 km as RE is claims the same.

@@balasubramanian6602 i would try to combat the issue by playing a bit with the rear preload. Recent 650s have been coming out with the preload jacked up for rider + pillion weight. My Bear deals with bumps decently when I’m riding 2 up surprisingly. I think I’ll address the stiffness issue by adding a softer seat cover on top of the stock seat, like a gel or air seat type thing. I don’t mind standing up for a moment to handle bumps, and the seat cover should make it a bit more bearable. That being said I absolutely love the Bear. Ready to live with the shortcomings, because good god it’s a fantastic feeling bike.

@@sauravshete6088 good. Let me try. Keep me posted if you find any good suspension in the market.

I have not checked of late but it should be somewhere between 25 - 30 kmpl or around 300+ kms of highway on a tank full depending on how throttle happy you are. i don't usually wait till it hits reserve and prefer always staying above it. From what I have read, running low on gas causes issues with the fuel pump.

That's a great story! Have you managed to trace down the RDs once owned by your dad?

@ No 😞 I know the vehicle number and did look it up in Vahaan portal it’s showing the bike is still active and registered with insurance and all but name isn’t shown fully due to privacy concerns.

@@bsshreyas3170 post the number here, you might find it!

@@pranav.r.k4858 myth

@AnotherComment-rl6fv any idea on the price of the Kawasaki KLX230? I hear it is around 5L? The Sherpa has lower ground clearance and suspension travel than the standard KLX230. No doubt they are more advanced and lighter than the Xpulse that weighs in at 160 kgs, but the Xpulse has a 13 litre tank capacity vs 6 litres on the KLX. Where the Xpulse wins is in price, dealership network and low maintenance cost. The price advantage of the Xpulse is unbeatable.

Thanks for your suggestion. I can speak Hindi and ofcourse Hindi speakers are a much larger audience in India but i do not feel comfortable expressing my thoughts in Hindi as it is not my first language.

@@vikasshelke5544 its a pretty straight forward install. I got my installation done at Top Gear garage in Bangalore - they are dealers of way2speed parts and official installers here.

Hey Sridhar, head to Rao Seat, Shivajinagar. Look on Google.

get in touch with way2speed on instagram or facebook. Let me know if u need a phone number. Where are you based?

@@JoshiDaniel-j8d hey Josh! Yea bro the good old days at Shanks. Yes bro this is Arjun's only. Hope you're well!

@@abhayprakash6070 hey Abhay thank you for your appreciation, means alot. Send me your number will drop you a message.

@@alroymenezes pls do share your email will connect via phone there 😄

@@alroymenezesHey Alroy, pls do share your email, will connect with you 😄

@@falcon-91 I spoke about the speedo not working and fact that these test ride bikes will also probably be sold with a minimal odo reading. Please watch the beginning of the test ride, i have clearly mentioned it. It is not my fault as a reviewer if the showroom gives me a bike to test ride with the speedo disconnected. While you blaming the dealership is absolutely justified I dont know why you are blaming me here, infact i gave called this out and am showing it to you so you are aware of what is happening. Be sensible in your comments, dont simply throw accusations around just because you can.

​@@ArunKumar-ts7xo Hi Arun the BSA does not mimic the interceptor - i am talking about the neo retro category of motorcycles with the Triumph Bonneville setting up or leading this class, the Interceptor following it and the BSA also trying to emulate the same success.

@@ramtamma3249 i think it should come out around Diwali. Wait a little if you can.

@@alroymenezes sure brother, will wait for few more months. Thanks for quick response
