I have installed fuel x pro and norifumi exhaust with decat. I also have a bmc air filter installed.
It's been a year so the 3rd service is pending.
Should I put back the OEM exhaust with catalytic converter and remove the fuel x pro? I'm not sure if they track these modifications during service and later reject the warranty.
I have a himalayan 450 on which I have clocked 8k over 1 year. I love the bike. It's very comfortable. Lots of fun and I love the high revving sherpa engine. The only thing I didn't like was the low end torque. So I installed a norifumi exhaust, bmc air filter which fixed the low end torque. Also installed a fuel x pro which made the throttle smoother, no jerkiness anymore.
I have been riding my friend's interceptor for over a month. First of all, I love the exhaust and how good the low end torque is. The bike rides smoothly. If you're someone who likes to ride chill, doesn't like a high revving engine then interceptor is the perfect bike. For city rides, I like the int 650 better than the 450. But when it comes to revving the engine and having a little fun around the corners, the 450 is so much better. Int 650 and GT 650 behave like they have arthritis while handling the bike in curves. I don't know how an adventure bike is so much better to handle in curves than a roadster and a cafe racer.
If you're thinking of getting a bike for the city, highway and a bit of off-road, himalyan is the perfect choice.
If you're someone who likes to ride chill, interceptor 650 is perfect. You'll fall in love with it.
