Q. I recently bought an Interceptor 650, I just want to know the best time to change the gear so that I can save fuel and increase its mileage?

Correct speed correct gear. 1 gear for initial movement . 2nd gear till 20 kmph , 3rd gear till 40 kmph , 4th gear till 60 kmph , 5th gear 70 kmph - 80 kmph , 6th gear above 80 kmph - ? . For fuel saving we have to monitor 1.Air pressure , Front 32 psi , Rear 36 psi ,2.Every 1000 km engine oil should be topped up in INT 650 .3.In signals engine should to shut down. 4. Important Every 200 km - 250 km chain lubricant should be applied if needed it should be cleaned (Must). 5.Wash the oil cooler every week . 5.Ensure the disk brake clearance every day (Manually). 6. Park the bike in shadow. Have a safe ride.

Riding for mileage will take off the fun element in riding and can be detrimental to the health of the bike in the long run. A bike like this is not focused on mileage and neither should the owner be. I suggest you ride in a way that you enjoy the vehicle. You can still expect around 24KPL litre.

Don't worry about mileage & just take care of the machine during the run in period. Changing gears at lower rpm & driving at higher gear at lower speeds may give better fuel efficiency but would adversely affect the engine so be careful & just be gentle with your new bike & let all the moving parts settle during the initial 2k kms

I normally ride with my hearing tuned to the engine note. The rpm counter is also indicative of whether you're over revving the engine in a lower gear. I find I change to a higher gear faster and at a slightly lower rpm than 2500. This bike is a long geared bike, so she'll pull beautifully from 2500rpm upwards.
