Nice mirrors Roshiba777, Thanks for the pics. I'm holding out for bar ends, but I like the adjustability and logo on yours!
Those bobbins look cool...do they serve a purpose otherwise? The CGT Twin at my dealer has them too. You mentioned the centerstand in reference to them. Do they have something to do with that?

The bobbins are used when lifting the rear of the bike with a track stand. The stand will have a set of vertical facing hooks that will connect to the bobbins, which makes it less likely for the stand to slip off when raising the bike, compared with a universal stand attachment that slips under the swingarm to lift the bike.

Today installed the swingarm bobbins they look great on interceptor it's more of aesthetic look as its having centre stand.

While in GT650 there is only side stand fitted and no centre stand so swingarm bobbins are mainly for GT650 so while doing servicing or any maintenance work paddock stand can  be fitted

But RE has also option  of fitting center stand on GT650 but only available as accessory

Sharing some manual of interceptor/GT650 accessories. Sorry for poor quality pics

Have done 800 kms on my ODO but not able to get it serviced as the dealer didnt have oil filter in stock should I wait for the oil filter and stop running the bike till service is done

If you decide to keep riding it I would at the very least change the oil.

It may have a very low first gear with its six speed transmission.

That is typical in some of the most powerful Japanese motorcycles. Apparently the manufacturers (or their lawyers) are worried about riders spinning their rear wheels and loosing control when using full throttle in first gear. To address this potential issue their FI computers cut power when the bikes are in the lower gears. However, the European manufacturers don't seem to offer such a "feature" as they use traction control systems to keep things from getting out of control when the throttle is whacked open in low gear.

Or they might be cutting power to comply with some sort of noise regulation. 

In any case, I am having trouble imagining that Royal Enfield would be worried about putting too much power to the ground in first gear or making excessive noise.  However, it is possible that the company that they used to design their fuel injection system was using a standard Japanese program that automatically cut power in first gear - just because. 

Or it could be that there is actually some sort of issue with your particular bike.  You will have to ask other owners of the 650 and see if they are having a similar experience.

Dealer didn't have an oil filter and you live where they're made.  Not cool.  ERC

Maybe you could test ride another new Interceptor and compare? 

If the power's being hidden by the electronics, perhaps a dynotune could bring out the beast?

mine ran well in all gears. btw I just bought a new release 2019 honda cb500x it will be interesting when I pick it up tomorrow how I think it compares to the ex interceptor
