    2022 Intercepor 650 major throttle hesitation

    And by the way, the MIL light did come on shortly after the throttle body was installed and never did go out. The dealer that accepted the trade-in didn't care. He was confident the bike would be repaired appropriately before being sold.

    2022 Intercepor 650 major throttle hesitation

    So, here is the latest on how poor Royal Enfield customer service is. It is now December 14th 2022, and still to this day not one single part has arrived from Royal Enfield for my Intercepter 650. After the new throttle bodies were installed with the new TPS sensor (that I paid for, not RE) the...

    2022 Intercepor 650 major throttle hesitation

    My dealer told me today that when the part actually does arrive from RE (heaven only knows how long that will take), they will give me the new throttle body, and send the defective one from my bike back to RE. I guess I could sell it on Ebay, perhaps. RE has some good products, but when one of...

    Oh one other thing: The MIL (fuel injection malfunction) was reset when the part was installed and has not come back on. The MIL was on ever since my bike was brand new. Finally, hopefully, it is gone for good. We shall see.

    2022 Intercepor 650 major throttle hesitation

    Here is the latest: Today, my dealer installed a new throttle body which includes the throttle position sensor. Royal Enfield did not supply this part. I again purchased it myself from Hitchcock's in England, even though my bike is a new 2022 and only 5 months old. I paid $575.00 for it. So...

    Good point, but I pulled the relays apart and cleaned them up, and reseated all of them. In fact, this was one of the first things I checked. Unhfortunately, it did not make a difference in the way my bike runs.

    2022 Intercepor 650 major throttle hesitation

    Oh, I forgot to mention. I purchase brand new O2 sensors a couple of months ago in July from Hitchcocks, and the local dealership installed them. It made no difference in the way the bike runs. I paid for the O2 sensors myself, because I was so tired of waiting for Royal Enfield to actually do...

    2022 Intercepor 650 major throttle hesitation

    Well, here it is September 16, 2022 and my 2022 INT 650 still is not fixed. Beware, the Royal Enfield 3 year warranty, at least in the United States is pretty much worthless. I say this because my bike has been back to the dealership 4 times since late May (I purchased this bike brand new in...

    Tubeless conversion, anybody done it?

    My 2022 INT 650, according to the owner's manual, has tubeless tires with tubes in them because of the spoked wheels. The Stop and Go brand tire repair kit works well for tubeless tires because it provides a combination of a patch and a plug that is inserted into the hole using a spring-loaded...

    Thank you for responding. Actually, the bike's computer recorded an O2 sensor fault. However, the dealer want to replace the O2 sensor, AND the TPS which is part of the throttle body assembly.

    2022 Intercepor 650 major throttle hesitation

    Hi all. I bought my new 2022 Int 650 about 6 weeks ago. Breaking it in, from day one, I noticed that up to about 3000 rpm it runs fine. But between 3 and 4000 rpms if I open the throttle, it hesitates badly, and won't respond at all. Then, without warning it will respond unexpectedly and surge...
