Hi. I have a Interceptor 650 with formula X in the tubes. The rear tyre is loosing pressure. But I can't see any nails on the tyre. Can this tube be repaired? Is it repairable eith the gel inside? Or do i have to change the tube? Its almost 4 years old? Pls advise
Hey, I had the same issue of air leakage but there were no punctures or nails in the tyre. After carefully checking, there was a valve leak. This was because of a small rubber fragment in the formula x gel which was stuck between the valve and pin after refilling the air. I just removed the valve pin out, cleaned both the pin o-ring and valve inlet and reinstalled it. No more leaks. Other things to check are micro tears and cracks on the tube near valve neck or wear on valve pin o-ring. Best practice is to replace tube every 2 yrs to be on the safe side. I'm always carry one 18" tube on long travels.
Yes if the spread is uneven it will create a problem. Hence, you need to ride it immediately after filling for 10 kms under 40kmph. I rode 20 kms at 40-50 kmph just to be safe. Next day took it upto 140 kmph. No wobbling when leaving handle.
I have same issue between 80-90 kmph. It is a common issue in interceptor. Can be because of misalignment of rear wheel or front wheel balancing or coneset. Get it checked by RE service.
@@eb_reviews no bro after installation of this formula x i guess i havent ridden for 10km properly n due to uneven spread it has formed into lumps and im experiencing this .. so now should i change both the tube and get it balanced again? Wil a normal mechanic do it?

Howz the feedback? Is it worth sir ?
It's good sir. Using it for more than a year now. You will not have any issues if correct pressure is maintained at all times.
Is it true that if the the spread is uneven (assuming there is a chance it could happen) it can cause wobling at higher speeds
Yes if the spread is uneven it will create a problem. Hence, you need to ride it immediately after filling for 10 kms under 40kmph.

@@eb_reviews thanks please give us a update after a long ride
Thanks for the video
Cheers!
Brother...suppose i want to replAce tyres.. I need to buy fresh tube then??
Can we go over bumps for the first 10kms?
try to avoid bumpy roads and go on a smooth road...
Can we use this for Himalayan and Duke ?
Yes pro pack will work on Himalayan and Duke. Main thing is to maintain proper air pressure always for this to work.
How is it holding up after 9 months??
No issues. Holds the pressure well and no punctures yet. 🤞🏼
I maintain 32 psi front and 36 psi at the rear
Bro after i cross 100 on my interceptor im experiencing wobbling which is dangerous wat should i do😔
