Accelerator cable is replaced under warranty by Royal Enfield thanks RE

Today checked there are two small holes in the exhaust pipe on both the exhausts but from the right side exhaust there is exhaust gas coming from one hole is there any problem with the exhaust pipe or its normal

           There's nothing normal about holes in exhaust pipes. Or are you talking about small holes in the underside of some mufflers to let condensation out? Or was that just in the "olden times"?

            PS: I should just say here that I've never bought a NEW muffler in my whole life except for cars and they were ALways aftermarket.

It was common for 1970's Honda motorcycle mufflers to have small holes at low points of the muffler or exhaust pipes to allow condensation to drain after the exhaust system cooled off.  The drain holes kind of helped to keep the mufflers from rusting out a little longer than otherwise.  However, I can't recall ever noticing exhaust fumes coming out of the holes.    So my guess is that "they all do that sir".

I just checked. Mine have no holes. Can you post a picture?

I don't know a thing about your 650's exhaust but a lot of exhaust systems have a small hole in the bottom of them somewhere.
It is supposed to let any accumulated condensation of water blow out of the exhaust when you start it up.

Water is one of the byproducts of burning gasoline.

Its not blowing condensed water but exhaust gases are coming from that hole

Here is the picture of the exhaust pipe from where exhaust gases are coming out

Today shown my bike to RE dealer after checking the RE engineer told me it's normal to have exhaust gases coming out of the hole in the exhaust pipe even after checking the brand new bike its having same thing

       So like we've said before it must be a condensate hole. It's at a low point in the system, right? (your picture's not clear WHERE the hole is located). And of course there's exhaust coming out - it's a hole  If any water forms in there, it'll blow out.

These 2 holes are beneath the cat converter that is situated in the exhaust pipe will take another picture and share according to RE person it's there for scavenging the gases through O2 sensor I asked him if it's normal how come only right side exhaust pipe have this exhaust gases coming from the holes while on the left side exhaust pipe there is nothing like that and all the gases leave through muffler..

Here's the pic of RH exhaust pipe

Can anyone having interceptor 650 please confirm if they also have the same issue.

Its hard to believe if this is normal then why should only the RH exhaust pipe blowing exhaust gases through the hole provided in the base of exhaust pipe and not the LH exhaust as it's also having 2 holes in the base of exhaust pipe can someone enlighten really very confused

[Richard230]

That may have something to do with the way the baffling in the mufflers was assembled at the factory. Perhaps the baffling in one of the mufflers is different than the other and is blocking the exhaust from blowing out of the drain hole?  One thing to check is if both muffler exhausts feel exactly the same when you place your hands over the end. If one exhaust feels different than the other then there could be a defect in one of your mufflers.

I just looked at mine. I have three holes. I didn't run it so I don't know if any exhaust blows out. I wouldn't be surprised if some exhaust is supposed to blow out as that would expedite the removal of moisture. Remember, these are double walled pipes. The outer pipe is purely cosmetic. Also, I don't think the bulge is part of the cat. The mufflers have the corrugated mess of catalyst inside them. That's why they weigh ten pounds each!

Ok today I checked another Interceptor 650  but that bike didn't blow exhaust gases through the holes in the bottom of exhaust pipe may be mine bikes RH exhaust pipe has a defect and should be changed in warranty.

Also want to know if I keep it riding the bike like this does it harm the engine or bikes performance

The exhaust on my Int650 2019 has 3 holes. I did run it and my bike does not blow the exhaust gases out.
