30,000 kms update

My Interceptor 650 hit the 30,000 kms mark last month. 22 months of sheer pleasure, I must say. There were a few minor issues which needed sorting out and I got them done at the service centre.

The front brake had lost its bite and needed new brake pads. The old ones had barely 10 % left. The chain sprocket set also had to be changed. Any amount of adjustment wasn’t doing any good. The clutch cable was also a little weak.

The ASC did not have the chain sprocket set in stock and used up 5 days to procure the spare part. All other customary changes such as air and oil filter, oil, brake fluid top-ups were done.

The spark plugs were checked and did not need to be changed. As is the case, the front fork “thud” noise was corrected by tightening the clamp. This is done at every service without fail.

As I had the Royal Enfield maestro package, I got a 5% reduction in spares price and a 10% reduction in labour costs and normal service charges were waived off. The package costs Rs.1299 and is valid for 1 year or 10,000 kms or 2 services.

After all the deductibles, my bill was Rs.9995. Chain sprocket set alone costs around Rs.4250-/. Front brake pads cost around Rs.2200-/. Other than the delay in procurement of the chain sprocket set, everything else was uneventful.

I decided to reward myself and the Interceptor with alloys and tubeless tyres. This was a move I did not want to make, but, another flat tyre at home pushed me into this. Throttle and Thump shipped me the alloys and Vredestein tyres in 3 days flat. Cost Rs.30,500-/.

I am yet to get the alloys fixed on the bike as there are at least a couple of thousand kilometres of tyre life left. That should be completed in a couple of weeks.

The bike is as good as new and gives me joy as always. I have averaged 26.75 kms to a litre of fuel all through these 30,000 kms and that is good enough, I feel.

Attaching a few pictures.

Cheers
