Had some free time over the weekend. Too bad for the wallet.

Ordered the Deluxe Touring Seat, official accessory for the INT 650.
Ordered from Amazon, delivered within 48 hours I guess.

Comparison, the new Deluxe Touring Seat Vs. the add-on touring seat which I booked via MIY, when I ordered my motorcycle.


The seat is ugly to look at. Cannot deny it one bit. But it is so much more comfortable. Difference is felt instantly once you swing a leg. For the pillion especially, this seat is a game changer. From I won't come along, to please bring the bike. That kind of change. (Just with regards to the seat comfort)


A side profile shot, to reveal how it ruins the overall aesthetics. I do not like the way it looks one bit. But I will live with it, because I am so much more happier on the go, and that time, I can't see the seat.


I had to bring back the sissy bar, because it improved the overall look from the rear end. Who would have thought, that bringing back a sissy bar would make things better in the looks department.


Will take it for a long ride soon, and share overall experience on the saddle. So far, so good. Have retained the old touring seat, would probably use it as a overly soft padded pillow at home.

Hello, owners of the RE Interceptor 650, if one was looking for buying a pre-owned interceptor, can you please let me if this RR unit issue was present only in 2023 model onwards or was it there since beginning?

Can you share me your valuable suggestions and thoughts on the major issues one needs to look out for in a pre-owned interceptor please???

Thanks in advance.

It has always been an issue and continues to be one as far as I know. The placement of the RR unit is to blame, mine has been replaced 3 times in the last 5 years.

The bike has refused to start again, as of last night onwards.

I removed the aux too, a month ago almost.

Just don't understand what else to do...

3rd battery in place.
RR has been replaced.

Only the RE tripper is being used.

I maintain my vehicles is top order, but this one just likes to DIE!

I am at a point where I seriously wonder if it is worth it to suffer so much.
I rather sell this and get myself a Z650RS or something, because I want a modern classic.

Seeking advice, serious advice.

Peace of mind is priceless parrys, not worth this nuisance all the time.

You had the itch, scratched it, now sell off the headache and get a Z or anything else your heart desires.

I have been reading your thread from the beginning. You have done the maximum that anyone could have done. Dispose of the bike and buy whatever will give you happiness. Life is short,dear friend, to go through such ordeals.

Cheers

Is the charging voltage alright? Did they check the health of the stator coil and it's output?
