Abhinav Bhatt, You Sir remind me of Burt Munro. This run your Interceptor displayed the highest speed; while turning R.P.M. at redline in 6th gear. Well done on your engine improvement progression. I'd really like to see your bike in a comparison with a Triumph 650 & a B.S.A. Lightening 650 & a Yamaha XS-1 650 c.c. I know those bikes and would expect the Interceptor to defeat them. Finally, a comparison between your Interceptor and a Royal Enfield 750 c.c. TT Interceptor. Good luck with your future improvements
Saving some hard earned cash for this one. Much respect bro! Highly appreciate the review and hard work behind this build. Ride safe and keep inspiring. 🤜🤛💪🏻
5:00 why people doesn't have commonsense at all? Khud bhi marega dusron ko bhi maarega. Nice Bike BTW. 1st time visiting your channel. I'm also planning to grab one interceptor.
The high end bike world is like this only. I am nearing 60 years of age, But still love high end bikes and drive at high speed but only on safe roads taking all safety precautions. If you see the accidents, you will find people dying on low end bikes. High end bikers drive fast but are care full. If you are afraid of speed then don't visit these channels.
Wow U did great mod on 650, after seeing this video I m in love of 650,. N now saving money to buy n then do all mod u done, n need help of you ,great work man salute
This channel is one of the best channel I have come across in terms of motorcycle performance upgrade information,a perfect channnel for motorcycle enthusiasts.Keep it up Sir!!! Cheers 🍻
Hahaha! Happened to me. Was stopped by cops on few occasions when my interceptor was new!!! Had to show them pictures of the bike on company website and make them talk to the showroom guy!
I had Lextek exhausts on my bike and no papers whatsoever. You have no idea how I talked my way out of that. They had already impounded 6 Bullets that day.
@@abhinavbhatt I'm asking because I don't know. But are these legal documents we can avail for the use of really loud exhaust pipes on motorcycles in India? If yes, isn't that just great!?
Amazing that the Interceptor can touch 190km/hr with just a few mods & the engine stock. Wonder what will it do with a performance cam & high compression piston kit.
There is a big bore kit available for 50-60k which will make it a 850cc engine producing 70-75hp at 80nm Basically a triumph Bonneville T100 engine with 20hp more
Hey there Abhinav. First off, your videos are really awesome and I find them very informative and also entertaining at the same time. For someone who wants to buy or is already an owner this is the place to be. I am also an Interceptor 650 owner and I admire the modifications you have done with your bike. also, I wanted to request you to make a video where you combine all the mods done in your past videos into 1 video. Keep up the good work. 😀🤙🤙
Nicely explained ECU and quick shifter..... Also... Since am planning to buy interceptor 650, these inputs are valuable and I csn now trust RE for quality and reliable products.... 190 on a RE.. Is an achievement
Hi from mainland northern Europe! Very instructive vid (I just got my Interceptor a few weeks ago). But I need to write a 'NOTE TO SELF': If I ever travel to India (which I'd love to), remember that people use the left lane *both ways* 🥶
Hello sir, I have been watching your videos for a very long time and I have gained a lot of information about bikes so thank you and keep up the good work. I have been waiting for a review on the powder coating of the engine ( Is the engine heating too much) and a video dedicated only for the accessories you have installed in your intercepter. Please do make a video or at least have QnA live video. Thank you. 😊
Love your extremely informative videos.. i wanted to know which handle bar are you using ??? I have gt 650 and want to change the base handle plate for comfort ...
Hi love ur videos keep them coming Just wanted ur suggestions I have kept the bike as stock looking as possible miner changes I have done r bmc air filter stage 1 Handle bar rise What else could you suggest for the bike I don't want any exushat.
Careful about the speed runs bro. Not sure about the engineering integrity of the thing in terms of frame, headstock, tyres etc. Really impressed with your knowledge though. I thought i was up there but you are clearly ahead :). You have a new subscriber!!
Very impressed - I am glad you have used the DNA air filter which allows up to twice as much airflow, and freer flowing dyno tuned exhausts should also help.. What is the theoretical top speed at 7500rpm on new gearing? You need to fit a GPS navigator or fit cellphone with GPS speedo up front to get the true speed. At 100km/hr my speedo reads around 2.5km/hr fast, which means 5km/hr fast at 200km/hr. Please share with accurate GPS values :) Thank you for your informative review, loving your channel for six months or so!! Graeme, NZ
Hi buddy. I was hitting 7500 rpm at 183 kmph and bouncing off the limiter. Then I got this custom wiring harness that lets me rev to 8k. I'll try to do a GPS run some day. Thank you for the kind words. Cheers.
How do you like the 17" wheels vs. the stock 18"? Do you have taller tires so the overall height is similar to stock? I have the Conti GT 650 and want to drop to 17" Excel rims so I can go to 4.25" wide rear rim and 150 tire. I have a150mm tyre now on the stock rim (Continental Road Attack 3) but it crowns to a point and will not wear evenly. Seems like most bikes will do better with 17" wheels and will also sit a bit lower helping stay flat footed at stops. Your thoughts?
Hi Abhinav, did you do anything to fix the rear wheel wobble or did you not have the issue on your Interceptor at all? Cus I took a test ride of the motorcycle and have had a firsthand experience of the wobbling that many Interceptor users complain about. I'm going to buy the Interceptor soon and would like to learn how you dealt with the problem. Great stuff you got going on TH-cam btw. Kudos
This is why I like the interceptor . It was very evident from the start how much potential this bike had . The way it didn’t rev high to avoid vibes . Everyone knew that this potential can be utilised and this guy has done it exceptionally. However Royal Enfield should release updates or other models to the 650 which are expensive and have performance parts and better tech . The current 650’s were made to be cheap and give competition to other bikes and establish them . Hopefully re makes a better version but not to get everyone’s hopes too high because re makes most its money from the 350 and they have even discontinued the 500 which is clearly more practical today . So it may take some time for them to release better versions of the 650 .
Amazingly custom RE! What handlebars are you using Abhinav? They look smashing! Also, pardon the noob query pls, does RE honour warranty with aftermarket exhausts and ECU remaps?
Noice vid, i used to race a 220hp race prepped R1 at the Virginia International Raceway, for 5 years , have sold it off to another racer before coming back to india, spent money in a house, and am now looking for a relaxed street riding, and enthusiastic riding, basically a veteran rider looking for a good street bike that can tour too, which bikes do you recommend for me ? Racing has caused my wrists to pain after a long time in the saddle, and due to much racing on my race prepped r1 , the doctor's also said that my back pain is due to that , I'm looking for a relaxed bike ( ergonomics ).
@@abhinavbhatt nope, no such thing, better if cheap, but I'll save up if its costly, i was thinking of 650 twins, Trident 660 , or a used VFR 800 or 1200F, the VFR's were quite popular in virginia.
@@abhinavbhatt hmm, thanks for the suggestion, the VFR 1200 F is a juicy bike and I'm quite tempted at it, it's not aggressive at that too, and gorgeous, if i find one below 9lakhs , I'll get that , performs better than most modern 600s too. If not, then the trident 660, well, but if i have to get it earlier, I'll instead go for the interceptor, and get the power parts like ya said, cuz I'll be touring with the bike later on .
If you want to tour, keep the bike mechanically as close to stock. Doubt you'd get a VFR easily. May want to look at a used Tiger 800 too. Even a used Street Twin goes for under 5 now. Brilliant bike.
As always, Something to learn and something to inspire ourselves with to get the best out of our machines, not to stay within the limits set by the manufacturer. Keep growing. 🙏
Great content as always. I am planning on taking the suggestion to change 14 tooth front sprocket instead of the stock 15 tooth. However should i also change the rear sprocket to match front? Also do i need to make any adjustments for Gear system? It would be nice to get your opinion.
Hi. I went with Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2 tyres for this bike. 120/70 front and 160/60 rear, 17 inch, W rated tyres. I'm very satisfied with their performance.
Hi abhinav. May I know, when the cops stopped you on your friend's chrome interceptor, were you running aftermarket exhausts on it, and if yes, what did the cops say? Did they let you go with the exhausts? And a quick tip on how to carry aftermarket exhausts that sound bassy and cop friendly too? M kinda in a dilemma here.
Hi Nipun. Yes, I had aftermarket exhausts on the bike then. The cops wanted to impound the bike. I had to use all my wits to get out of that situation. Cops are very strict nowadays. Not sure how to escape such a situation anymore.
What's the feedback regarding your front sprockets ... And how much of this immensely quick acceleration would you put down to sprocketing .... In terms of percentage please....thanks
Hi Abhinav, I have great respect for the work you put in on your machines , and have had the good fortune to check out your bike at speedmonks too. I however have a question , since you have changed your stock tyres to 17" rims there would be a speedo error, do you have a speedo healer on thr bike to rectify that, also a GPS may give you a more accurate idea of your speed. Would love to know your thoughts on this. Cheers
Hi. Of course the bike is throwing an exaggerated speedo error and the true top speed might be around 170. But the point is, it still is a very very quick bike now. GPS numbers be damned. In the previous videos, I have spoken about how these numbers should not be taken seriously. I don't take them seriously either. Larger point is, I now have a hooligan RE, set up to how I like to ride.
Great job with the video, man! I had a slightly off-topic question about the mirrors - how usable are they? And are they any better than the bar-end mirrors RE sells, in terms of practicality?
These are on the bike because they look cool. That's all. I get to see from them, but have to work for it. If someone is passing you, you won't be able to tell, especially if they are flipped like on mine. I think the right way up they might be better, but still not as good as the RE ones due to the smaller size.
Hi Abhinav, I have installed SS Moto full system, DNA air filter and Powertronic ECU too, I have not got my rev limiter extended, how safe is it to extend it? What pro's and con's you have come across because rev limit extend. And also I don't really red line all the time, it's just that when I want it, I need it. That's it.
@@abhinavbhatt haha, no all I am saying is the truth. The art of given the details with that patience is just phenomenal. And the dialogue delivery..... Learning a lot from you bro. Cheers.
@@abhinavbhatt Can't get 100 here at the pump but we have the 91 & depending on which gas station you go to 95,96, & 98.I was using 91 then at Taupo all the others were using 95 or 98 so I been using 98 since & our petrol prices have gone up heaps 98 is $2.93 now & 95 is $2.65 & 91 is $2.47 which I run my car on but 98 for bike. 97 or 100 definitely get to 190kmh into the wind bro.
Hi Abhinav, I really like your videos & the way you explain things are really good & technical , I really appreciate The amount of time , money & Patience you invested in making your Interceptor the Better Bike , Abhinav as you have a good knowledge about Automobile technical aspects I have heard many mechanics and technicians says the first bend should not be close to cylinder head hence changing the stock bend pipe will damage the exhaust value seals & valve's in turn it will reduce the Life of the engine, I would request you to share your thoughts and views regarding this, I really want to change my interceptor's exhaust system to 2-1 but cos of above shared issues am not able to go ahead , Ride safe Buddy , Happy Riding Abhinav 😊
You mention a number of times that the QS from PT is better than the QS on KTM 390 ADV, however, AFAIK the 390 ADV does NOT come stock with a QS in India, and is an optional purchase (not even sure if it’s available in India as optional). Or, am I mistaken?
The simplicity in your vlogs are commendable. Also, great content! By the way, how much does your bike weigh now? And what's the final power and torque output after all the mods you've done?
Hi. I think my bije would not be more than 180 kg now. About 20 kg weight reduction. At the rear wheel on the Powertronic dyno, it made 43 bhp while the stock bike made 36 bhp. I don't remember the torque figures. Sorry about that.
I got your channel reference from a friend. I'm picking up an Interceptor soon. So going through all the videos for the mods. I must say I'm impressed. You got one fan today. Subscribed. 👍 Keep up the good work.
Hey Abhinav. I just bought an interceptor a few days back. I felt a bit of wobble in the front end at 100-120 kmph. Is this something I should be concerned about or could it just be a bad patch of road? Also the front end feels a bit light in bumpy roads. Some advice would be appreciated.
Dear Abhinav Greatings from France ! Thanks for this lovely video. I love your side panels, they are fitting perfectly with Interceptor. I would like to buy the same for my Interceptor... Would you please let me know where you did purchase them? Thank you beforehand. 👍 Regards Olivier

Amazing that the Interceptor can touch 190km/hr with just a few mods & the engine stock. Wonder what will it do with a performance cam & high compression piston kit.
Will breach 200 for sure. Maybe even 210-220.

This is why I like the interceptor . It was very evident from the start how much potential this bike had . The way it didn’t rev high to avoid vibes .

So it may take some time for them to release better versions of the 650 .

Larger point is, I now have a hooligan RE, set up to how I like to ride.
Great job with the video, man! I had a slightly off-topic question about the mirrors - how usable are they? And are they any better than the bar-end mirrors RE sells, in terms of practicality?
These are on the bike because they look cool. That's all. I get to see from them, but have to work for it. If someone is passing you, you won't be able to tell, especially if they are flipped like on mine. I think the right way up they might be better, but still not as good as the RE ones due to the smaller size.
Abhinav Bhatt Thank you for the prompt response, Abhinav!
Hey Abhinav liked your Vlog. Can u please tell me about the handlebar like from where did u get this i mean online or from some shop??
This is a KTM Duke 390 handlebar. Not a direct fit on the stock bike.
Abhinav Bhatt Thanks a lot..😊
Waiting for more stuff like this..
Hi Abhinav, I have installed SS Moto full system, DNA air filter and Powertronic ECU too, I have not got my rev limiter extended, how safe is it to extend it?
What pro's and con's you have come across because rev limit extend.
And also I don't really red line all the time, it's just that when I want it, I need it. That's it.
Don't extend it. You'll never hit the red line apart from the first day out of excitement.
Recently I got my gt650 2023 one.. I just want to know whether the rev limiter can be extended or not after installing the powertronic?
Bro, what's the mic set up for the vlog ? Also, is this a GoPro set up ?
GoPro Hero 7 with mic adapter and some Rs 350 mic.
@@abhinavbhatt thanks a lot ! Great vlog. Keep up the good stuff !
Bro You are Bravo !
Great Man , I am also the proud owner of Interceptor but never touched the speed more then 120Kph .
Hi Godspeed! boss Btw whats the levers you use is it adjustable?
Brembo RCS15. Yes, it is adjustable.
Thank You Bro! @@abhinavbhatt I handle small palm i need them adjustable lever..Any mods required to fit these ones in int 650
I bought it in Singapore. Hand carried it. Try searching for some Brembo dealer here.
Best youtuber right now.
I am not a TH-camr, Siddharth 😂
@@abhinavbhatt dada, you are an artist. TH-camr is just a term. 😋
@@WeThrottle Kucch bhi bro. 😂😂
@@abhinavbhatt haha, no all I am saying is the truth. The art of given the details with that patience is just phenomenal. And the dialogue delivery..... Learning a lot from you bro. Cheers.
Do you have 95 or 96 or 98 unleaded India that will help slightly with performance especially pick up too.I use 98unleaded here in NZ.Great job bro.
Hi. Yes, we do have 97 Octane here. The entire character changes when it runs on 97. I also want to try it on 100 Octane. Should be fun. Cheers
@@abhinavbhatt Can't get 100 here at the pump but we have the 91 & depending on which gas station you go to 95,96, & 98.I was using 91 then at Taupo all the others were using 95 or 98 so I been using 98 since & our petrol prices have gone up heaps 98 is $2.93 now & 95 is $2.65 & 91 is $2.47 which I run my car on but 98 for bike.
97 or 100 definitely get to 190kmh into the wind bro.
Yeah. Fuel prices are high across the world. We petrolheads have the same problems across the globe. Haha
Hey abhinav, does it effect the topend when u changed the front sprocket because most people tell that it reduces the topend
But I increased the rev limit, so my top end wasn't affected.
Did you do any other funtional modifications alongwith Power shifter?
All pretty much covered in the video.
Hats off to you man...you took this Hellboy on 188.. .. And thanks..for this Quickshifter thing
This is the new way to give a lecture on the automotive.
Good handle bar,
Is that stock paibted black or after market?
Aftermarket
@@abhinavbhatt pls tell me the name
It's from the KTM Duke 390. Won't fit the stock bike.
@@abhinavbhatt ok I understood sir, thanks
Most welcome.
Hey Abhinav have you done anything to take care of high speed wobble....? How come your bike doesn't fishtail, at speeds above 140, 150 ???? Thanks
My suspension mods, wheels and tyres contribute to it.
That is impressive Abhinav!
Thanks, Bill.
That's a good one Abhinav..
What is top speed on stock bike?
Around 180
Hi Abhinav, I really like your videos & the way you explain things are really good & technical , I really appreciate The amount of time , money & Patience you invested in making your Interceptor the Better Bike , Abhinav as you have a good knowledge about Automobile technical aspects I have heard many mechanics and technicians says the first bend should not be close to cylinder head hence changing the stock bend pipe will damage the exhaust value seals & valve's in turn it will reduce the Life of the engine, I would request you to share your thoughts and views regarding this, I really want to change my interceptor's exhaust system to 2-1 but cos of above shared issues am not able to go ahead , Ride safe Buddy , Happy Riding Abhinav 😊
Is that a stock handle bar you removed the cross bar....??
Brother how much you've spent in total to meet this performance..... 🎉🎉🎉
You mention a number of times that the QS from PT is better than the QS on KTM 390 ADV, however, AFAIK the 390 ADV does NOT come stock with a QS in India, and is an optional purchase (not even sure if it’s available in India as optional). Or, am I mistaken?
390 Adventure comes stock with the quickshifter in India. It is optional elsewhere.
The simplicity in your vlogs are commendable. Also, great content! By the way, how much does your bike weigh now? And what's the final power and torque output after all the mods you've done?
Hi. I think my bije would not be more than 180 kg now. About 20 kg weight reduction. At the rear wheel on the Powertronic dyno, it made 43 bhp while the stock bike made 36 bhp. I don't remember the torque figures. Sorry about that.
@@abhinavbhatt oh that is more than enough! Thank you for your response
Very informative video
Bro... your video is so engaging ..
.loved it watching
Bro can you please provide a purchase link of the quick swifter as well as of the exhaust.🙏
Search powertronic ecu and quick shifter for continental gt
I got your channel reference from a friend. I'm picking up an Interceptor soon. So going through all the videos for the mods. I must say I'm impressed.
You got one fan today. Subscribed. 👍
Keep up the good work.
Thanks, bud.
Video clarity is ❤
Hey Abhinav. I just bought an interceptor a few days back. I felt a bit of wobble in the front end at 100-120 kmph. Is this something I should be concerned about or could it just be a bad patch of road? Also the front end feels a bit light in bumpy roads. Some advice would be appreciated.
The front end is too soft and also due to the tyre. Common issue with most Interceptors.
@@abhinavbhatt thanks for the reply. Is there anything that can be done to rectify this?
@@vaibhavsingh471 Yes. You could go in for a heavier fork oil.
@@abhinavbhatt thanks. Will try and let you know the results.
Love your vlogs! U doin great👍
an aerodynamic kit on this bike is what we want to see next😍
It runs into the limiter in 6th. Aerodynamics won't help that much.
Dude... I have to know, where did you get the side pannel covers for your 650? It looks good..
Hi. I got them from K-Speed in Thailand.
@@abhinavbhatt did you order it oh line? If so please share me the link..
No. I got it hand carried, but I believe they do ship. Just Google for their website.
Thanks man.. 👍🏼
The way this beast pulls is amazing 🔥🔥🔥
How much for the bar ends...are they functional...than the stock ones...by the way great job creating the beast😁
They are about Rs 1,000 on AliExpress. They are absolutely non-functional.
@@abhinavbhatt OK man...thanks 😁👊👊
What are your thoughts on trying the big bore kit by s and s performance on the INT650? I heard the power bumps up to 75 HP.
Too much power. Don't want.
Dear Abhinav
Greatings from France !
Thanks for this lovely video.
I love your side panels, they are fitting perfectly with Interceptor.
I would like to buy the same for my Interceptor...
Would you please let me know where you did purchase them?
Thank you beforehand. 👍
Regards
Olivier
Hello Olivier. I bought these from K-Speed in Thailand. These were hand carried to India. You might want to check with them if they ship internationally. This is their website: k-speed.com/en
@@abhinavbhatt thank you very much for your prompt reply Abhinav, I will Check out with K Speed Thailand
All the best. Cheers
