at 6.51 showed a perfect view of the small hose connected to the throttle body, not connected on my bike, only noticed today. The LH pipe was running dirty and backfiring more than the RHS. So i connected it up. Thanks for that close up!!
to make your front brake line longer just make it exit on the right side of the tank next to the throttle cables no need to open the joints. there is plenty of room under the tank. you have to drop the fork legs a bit to move the line over . this will give you about 3in plenty for 33in bars with 5in rise .electrics cables are fine just need re routing.
peter smith - thanks will have a look when the tank off, was only off yesterday. There is enough length as is for my set up. Just the throttle cables that are too short so they are running at back of fork legs at present. May get around to put longer ones on some day
I picked up an Interceptor this month, and it's helpful to see things like this before I attempt them! Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to future videos!
Re: Working in the hallway. Good foryou - warm and dry. I have just bought a new Interceptor shaped sofa for the living room from Thunder Road in Gloucester for the exact same reasons. Keep up the good vids.
thanks for posting this video. I have installed 2 inch handlebar raises to the standard handlebar and also dropped the fork (flush fit)..I managed with the original cables NOT changed any cables.
I put a set of black alloy bars on my Interceptor and their bar riser clamps plus another 20mm riser spacer and all the cables and lines reached with no modifications. Its a really
.....natural position I like. The bars and clamps (plus a bunch of other items) came from Tec Bike Parts who are a great supplier and good value (check out their Interceptor Project You Tube videos ATB
hi there... nice video...question do you hear some rattling at the rear of the bike while driving on ruff roads? I believe its a plastic sound but I can't detect it while driving ...any thoughts on that? love your videos... I have the baker express...
Another of your exceedingly good instructional videos on the Interceptor. Have you checked the valve clearances yet? It would be interesting to see how you tackle that, as it looks like the one-piece rocker cover can't be fully removed with the engine in place.
Hi Baz, I’ve not checked them yet, I’ve had it’s first service at the dealer. However I’m not totally convinced they checked them so I will be doing just in case. 👍 And thank you for the nice feedback, gives me motivation to keep doing it 😊
The rocker cover can be fully removed, I took the 3 bolts out of the ABS pump & lifted it out of the way slightly. The cover's a pain in the arse to refit because of the gasket, I used grease to hold it in the cover & that seemed to help.
Very informative video!! have you tried adjusting the idle rpm on your bike? i notice that the idle rpm on my bike is around 1500rpm where as, the manual says it should be around 1200rpm.
Timsalsanights aka The Caffeine Racer I’m still on around 400, not got any riding in been permanently peeing down! Height I lifted the front of mine. I’m used to the crf which is a bit taller. I’ll think I’ll lift it a bit more yet too.
I want to get some commuting under the belt, I've done a bit straight after getting it but desperate for more, I've got an hours ride on mix of roads and traffic so its a real good test of the bike. Its really well balanced for filtering I find.
Thanks for your vids! Quick question: If I order a replacement tank, do you know if they come with the hoses/wires attached? Or do I have to take it off my existing tank and put them on? If so, it is an easy job? Thanks!
I've not ordered one for this bike but from previous experience I would say it comes bare for you transfer over your pump and pipes etc. Probably worth ordering a new rubber gasket for the pump as that could be damaged on removal. Cheers
@@DormanDiaries thanks for the reply! I have a continental gt in the dr mayhem color which i got for the black hardware, but i like the tank color of the black magic tank! Looking forward to more vids! Cheers
Hello, I found out that the fueltank got a death stock of 0.75 liter according to the user manual. In practise I encounter a death stock of 2 liter. RE didn't respond for 2 months now on my findings. Can you test the actual fuel capacity?
@@tonvandecoevering4608 Hello, By dead stock do you mean fuel that never gets used, I sits in the bottom of the tank and doesn’t get to the fuel hose or that there are 2 litres from fuel light coming on to it running dry?
@@DormanDiaries I mean fuel that can't be used. The manual days 0.75 ltr, but my interceptor says 2ltr. I think this is design error. One dude in the states encountered the same issue. RE is not responding to my findings.
Saw them in person here and noticed completely different marker lights (larger round ugly plastic things. Not the nice smaller rectangular ones everywhere else. The headlight lens is smooth and plastic like the Triumphs... The local dealer said they ran into some DOT issues with Transport Canada? Wondering if the United States have the same issues. Will be trying to get the other versions to install if I take delivery on a GT. Great videos and wow that is some tidy wiring on the frame. My Thruxton 900 is a mess under the tank in comparison. Cheers
Andrew Hannam I’m not a huge fan of this style of markers either and I’m contemplating changing. I’ll be keeping connectors all stock though so can reverse everything. I’m going to try my best not to chop the loom at all.
Martyn de Young hello, I’ve got one now thank you. Not really used it yet though! It’s a big old file and my laptop hates it, I’m very tempted to have it printed
Thank you for removing some of the mystery. I'm sure I'll refer to this video soon enough when for whatever reason the tank needs to come off my GT.

Ah thats one to keep an eye on then. Glad the video was of assistance sir. Hope all is well now.
Thank You for the constant improvements,each video is better and informative.Sorry about the dent,ouch.Look forward to hearing more from you.
Thanks KF really appreciate the feedback. Each one is helping me get things better, audio etc.

Can't beat it ey mate. Enjoy! I've always fancied buying a crated bike as an 'ornament' not that rich though!
@@DormanDiaries it'll just sleep there. Will be out during the day 😉
thanks for posting this video. I have installed 2 inch handlebar raises to the standard handlebar and also dropped the fork (flush fit)..I managed with the original cables NOT changed any cables.
I made some 30mm risers for my bars & it's made quite a difference.
STEVE PALMER - great minds think alike! I’ve got some on the way!
thank you, used your video to plan wiring for aux lights for my bike.
Happy to be of assistance 😊

@@georgehesse7396 thanks George, yes I’ve had a few bits from TEC now (see my other vids) nice bunch and great service from them. Cheers
Does any of this void warranty? My dealer seems to say everything voids warranty, especially any exhaust added that's not the one S&S design.
That hallway has seen many jobs done on the bikes, comfier than my garage with underfloor heating haha
you will need a longer clutch cable. £8 on amazon honda cg 175 plus route the throttle cables on the back side of the fork leg
Thanks Peter, my clutch cable has been fine, I have routed the throttle around the back but I'll lengthen eventually

STEVE PALMER Hi Steve, yes I took mine off too. Best that way for proper access. I did a little video of it on here.
Can't understand working in the hallway, the living room would be far more comfortable.
Really appreciate the videos, this one especially is going to save me some time when mine arrives. Cheers.
Stuart Fillingham installed Motone swept-back risers. Check out his vid.

how it is informative?he didnt even show the procedure to to remove the tank
How many miles you at now? How do you find the height I just lowered mine
Timsalsanights aka The Caffeine Racer I’m still on around 400, not got any riding in been permanently peeing down! Height I lifted the front of mine. I’m used to the crf which is a bit taller. I’ll think I’ll lift it a bit more yet too.
@@DormanDiaries ha snap on miles about the same. English weather, omg what's going on with it I want one decent day to see what it can do.

@@DormanDiaries I allready found out 2 liters of dead stock . . . is it my bike only or yours as well?

Hello,
By dead stock do you mean fuel that never gets used, I sits in the bottom of the tank and doesn’t get to the fuel hose or that there are 2 litres from fuel light coming on to it running dry?

@@tonvandecoevering4608 I’m going to have to experiment with that! Carrying around 2kg (ish) that can’t be used is annoying! Thanks for pointing out!
Different headlight and marker lights than the Canadian market version? Is the headlight glass?
Andrew Hannam I’m pretty certain it is unless if not it’s a good impersonation of it. Are they not in Canada? Thanks for watching 🇨🇦

That clutz dent in the tank means a $600.00 tank paint job.
