I've found my 2022 INT650 transmission is a little sketchy, but far from the worst bike I've owned. One thing I notice is the bike really doesn't like it if I come to stop in anything other than first gear. So I progress down through the gears to first when coming to a stop, and then no problem. The click up to neutral is a very small nudge from there. Since I've owned bikes with worse transmissions, I'm just adjusting my riding to what the bike wants, rather than the other way around. Good luck with yours. I love mine!
I wouldn't wish anyone to buy a euro 6 model car or motorcycle. The setting are terrible. I've heard of motorcycles being re-mapped because they run badly. My bike is between a euro4/5 model which the bike runs really well.
Automatic engine shut-off when you drop the side-stand is a feature, not a bug. It can be a safety issue to try to drive around with the side-stand down. Surely you don't want to do that. My other modern bikes have done exactly the same, such as my 2002 Honda CB750.
Also have the same fault intermittently, exactly as you describe. Just had 3K mile service and mentioned it to the mechanic but not sure yet if it has been cured. Apart from this really enjoying the bike.
I had my 3,000 mile service which cost £79 more than quoted. I was told I would have no oil or filter changed but he did and the sensor changed (again) and he reckoned the brakes were changed because of the recall. The second sensor replacement is better even though I was told I was the first to have this fault.
What I found was I was treating like older bikes,rough change to neutral & it happened to me,then I began changing to neutral super gently & I mean the lightest touch slipped into neutral sweet as.Slipper clutch is as smooth as hot knife through butter therefore you need to be gentle.It hasn't happened since.Us old timers used to clanky shifts on older bikes but not needed on this one.
All Royal Enfield interceptors are built in India but on 2 different lines. The Indian Market is a lot different to the rest of the world. The motorcycle was designed by 2 ex Triumph Bonniville designers in Leictershire.
The bike is designed by Royal Enfield UK technology center which is again an Indian owned company , YOU can say it is designed in UK but made in UK i don’t think so and the problem with your bike is faulty Gear Position Sensor , i changed mine last year and it is working like charm since then .
I just un-bolted the bar and used a screw driver to open up the brackets. On of them cracked and fell off. It just shows you how badly designed they are.
@@ruahinesrider I've always wanted Fatbars on a bike and as there is no choice at the moment I bought these ones. They are comfortable and look the part.
!!FIX!! : There is a switch on the clutch lever, check if the wires came loose or the contact is snapped. I had a wire loose, reconnected it and the problem was fixed. Hope this helps! (The bike checks if the clutch is operated and with the contact broken the circuit stays open so your bike thinks you don’t operate the clutch, you put the bike to a gear and the engine shuts down, its not a mechanical fault, pure electric.)
I had 2 switches a month and the RE mechanic had to fit the switches in side the side casing next to the gear lever. His answer to the replacement switch not working was they were either faulty from the factory or were knocked in transit. The bike has worked perfectly since.
@@johnk7814 I had the same problem. Because the bike thinks it is still in gear it won't let you put it in gear without the stand up. I was told my bike was the first to have this problem over a year ago.

@@bertrosschaert1749 no it's not that , had it back to the dealer to have a look at it. They couldn't see what it was and ordered a gear position sensor for me. Still waiting for them to call me and bring it back. The only way the bike starts is with the side stand up and pull in the clutch .I upgraded the master cylinder and the clutch lever which came with a new switch and still the same. thanks anyway
I was told I was the first to report this problem, since this video Royal Enfield have been inundated with warrenty claims. I hope everyone go back to their dealer and report the problem.
Us old timers to rough on first gear Clarky, it's how we did it but not with this bike with modern slipper clutch.Happened to me half a dozen times then I worked it out to be super super gentle the lightest touch especially with first & neutral.Hasn't done it since.Rough as guts days are gone unless you have an old bike.lol🤣..Check my Silver Spectre out similar to yours bro.👍🏍️🇳🇿🤙
Did you check out my Silver Spectre.I was called old timer the other day by some young 6pak twenty something's riding Continental's & Thruxton's cafe racers, I said I'm only 46 & they said yeah old timer so I asked how old do ya have to be to be one,they said 45 born mid seventys.Checky buggars, I guess they never riden 30-50yr old bikes.lol😆😁🤣
@@ruahinesrider I've been riding since I was 15 back in the old days in 1985. Motorcycles have got a lot faster and lighter since my first bikes.

Mine will cut out in neutral if I drop side stand, not really a problem
Do they manufacture the 650 twins outside india ? In my best knowledge are manufactured in India and exported throughout the world.

@@udayajitsingh2077 I changed mine twice. The design centre is in Leictershire which is in Bruntingthorpe which is near where I live.
I have an iphone that says designed in california, made in china. Maybe I’ll just change it to Made In California now.
I never contested that it is not designed in UK , you can obviously mention designed in UK but made in INDIA
Was it much of a mission to take brace bar off,did you remove handle bar & have to slide switch gear off or does it just unbolt?
I just un-bolted the bar and used a screw driver to open up the brackets. On of them cracked and fell off. It just shows you how badly designed they are.
@@clarkyracing Hold up all right without brace no vibrations or is their a reason you got fat bars or you just wanted black & better quality.

Happens to my bike right now just went over 3000 miles. Had the brake recall done last week but they were too busy to look at this other problem.
It's not a common problem and I had 2 fitted because the new one was damaged. Make sure they know it's a problem.
@@clarkyracing also when there’s no N light bike will not start on stand unless I hold in clutch ...... but then I can let go and it stays running .

Il also happens to me once in a while.
It's going back tomorrow for 3000 miles service, brake replacement and the sensor replaced again.

@@clarkyracing Mines doing the same as well. Obviously an issue. 12k on the clock
Get it back to the RE garage. Lots of people have contacted me saying it's happened to them.
I had it. June 19. New gear position sensor (neutral switch) sorted it.
