During Art of Speed last month, the RE guys told me the Scam 411 had just arrived but they haven't gotten around to price it yet.

I found out that for the Interceptor & Continental GT, valve clearance job needs to be done every 5000km - that's at every oil change.

Bloody hell, so mafan meh... but I really like that raw 270-deg aircooled engine! Tons of character.

re service manual states, 10k km.

valve clearance oso 10k km

Kinda crazy for valve clearance to be done every 10k km...Japanese bikes don't need such short intervals right?

copy and paste below .....


The infamous front wobble! Solution? This may work for you!

Been lately monitoring most of the forums across, and the way things are assumed and portrayed thought it's time to address that now as seems still multiple owners are facing the issue and still left out with no proper solution or guidance to overcome the issue.

Also, there are rumours it’s only associated with Interceptor only, but it ain’t, the wobble happens with GT too. I personally had the issue, did my own homework, did a bit of research and at last, mine got resolved for good permanently.

As per my understanding, Royal Enfield is well aware of the issue now, and a few months ago they have come up with a set of SOP's, where all the service centres are instructed about the same and follow.

Pirelli's are not to be blamed or at the actual reason for the wobble. Most of them are misguided across all the forums with no proper justification, all based on assumptions. Seen so many owners blindly implementing those suggestions and changing to different tyres or downgrading tyres, of course, the wobble was sorted initial but after a few km, the issue resurfaced. If Pirelli is to blame, then why do owners with Ceat tyres also face the same issue?

One must do homework first. And cross-check the following in able to resolve the issue:

1. Tyre Pressure, make sure it's optimal as suggested in your owner manual. Still, the issue persists? Follow the next step.

2. Truing, since you bought the motorcycle have you bothered to check truing or was done? No? Please get truing done. Still, the issue persists? Follow the next step.

3. Wheel balancing, Did you ever do it since day one? No? Please do so now. And still, the issue persists? Yes? Go to the next step.

**Highly recommend getting Truing & wheel balancing from a professional and not at the RE service centre, let professionals handle the task. With these above 3 mentioned tasks you have done your homework and done being a responsible owner of your motorcycle.

Now let your service centre handle the issue further, they are instructed by RE with certain SOPs in place to follow to handle the wobbling situation further.

4. Instruct your service centre to follow the SOPs given by Royal Enfield. The first one is checking the T Stem Nut/Steering Head Bearings (the nut on the centre of the handlebar) to check if it's overtightened or lose, instruct them to fasten with the correct torque. For most of them, the issue gets/got resolved at this stage. If the issue still persists for you, then you have a couple of more things to look into below mentioned.

**The service centre may charge labour and for consumables like fork oil, and such.

5. Instruct them to cross-check if both front forks are at the same level and check fork oil level and air gap in both forks, there must be no difference on both the above aspect. If the issue still persists, move to the next step.

6. Check the condition of both tapered roller bearings, if the bearings are good then they must be cleaned and greased, use waterproof grease over normal grease, avoid that traditional grease.

As per my observation and understanding, the bearing dust caps are not well designed, the bearings are well exposed, which attracts dust and dirt, and also during pressure wash, if you have been pointing the hose directly on the t stem, bearings etc, do avoid them. Stock bearings ain’t great, if you have an opportunity at this stage to change bearings then please opt NTN, they are much better.

For the majority again the issue gets resolved at this stage. Just in case if you are unfortunate and facing the issue still then either all the above steps are not performed thoroughly or doubt the technician who worked on it.

7. Last but least so-called tyres which are being blamed they would have prematurely worn out due to multiple aspects mentioned above, check the tread of tyres for uneven wear. If there is uneven wear on the tyre then consider changing the tyre.
Changing tyres should be your last resort. Please do not blindly get into assumptions or implement and change the tyre at the first stage itself, it may resolve for a few km, but you will land on the same issue in no time. So start troubleshooting step by step.

Hope this helps, if you have any queries related to this further feel free to connect directly. Will be happy to help.

Thank you
