    Changing the stock exhaust would def help reduce heat but make sure the fuel map is correct if the bike is too lean it might overheat. Also if you check the engine oil temp if it is above 170 degrees it would help a lot to use a much larger oil cooler and also use synthetic oil. A motorcycle, set up correctly, shouldn't run hot at idle. If the oil is over 200 degrees using your infrared thermometer then you would def benefit from a larger cooler. Remember manufacturers set up bikes to benefit THEM (ie overheat, lose compression, have to be overhauled, etc) NOT usually to benefit YOU. I had a friend has a BMW 1000cc bike it ran 170 temp stock. My Triumph bonneville was running 230. I changed radiator for one 300% larger and voila! Now my Triumph runs 170 like it should. On your air cooler bike you would change the oil cooler, same difference.

    Interceptor is a 650 CC twin cylinder motorcycle. It is expected to heat up more that the smaller capacity bikes we are use to.There has never been an incident where fuel has caught fire due to the engine heat. There are production motorcycles with three times the engine capacity, and I have never heard of a risk of fire due to the engine heat.

    It’s a 650cc engine provided by air - oil cooling. It is expected to get heated up specifically if we are using in city because no enough wind to cool down the engine. Moreover they have provided heat sensors to monitor heat with ECU. If over heated vehicle will stop. Then wait for 15 mins it will cool down then we can continue. But if your engine turns off frequently due to heat better check with service centre.

    One of the best bike to travel

    One of the best bike to travel couple with luggage, Low end torque is a boon at mid rpm as one can effortlessly cruise in higher gear or climb ghats a gear higher without much fight.Its a forgiving bike on the throttle as the power is linear and gradual.If to nitpick, Tube type tyre is a pain if its punctured rsa is the only saviour during those times.And softer front suspension needs constant adjustment when cornering.But as a bike man it can munch miles making travel ever enjoyable.Happy riding riders.Cheers.
