- So after adding after market exhausts and air filter, there is a decrease in initial pick-up and to overcome that I added Fuel X. This video contains installation, initial impression and POV exhaust sound.

Thanks for this video. I'm currently considering a Fuel X Lite for my Interceptor after installing aftermarket exhausts and the air filter mod. Cheers mate from the UK.
Club it with A full system exhaust and Iridium plug with cables, you’ll love it 👌🏽you’ll feel the character change after working up the engine… Cheers
Throttle response is good and seems less gear shifts. Good one..
I own a Himalayan and have made a few upgrades so far. I added a DNA filter with a cover and recently installed the Fuel X Lite. I chose the Lite version for the same reasons you mentioned in the video - I don't need the pro version. Since installing it, I've noticed the engine runs much smoother, requires fewer gear shifts, and seems to be running cooler (though I need to confirm this after more extensive testing, as I've only done around 40 km on a night ride).
After using it for over a year, and seeing other versions (pro and pro+} I realized that the lite is the best version. My buddies have pro+ and they eventually end up using only 1 map throughout…. The purpose of the map switch fails on the longer run. Engine definitely runs smoother and cooler.
This is of good help to someone like me who was thinking of purchasing this product. But would like to hear your long term review esp. if it's fixed the issues with air filter & slip-on upgrade and if the engine runs cooler.
Ideally should've, since it allows slightly more fuel helping the engine not run very lean.
Hey, so after using it for some months now, I can confirm that engine heats lesser.
The bike, still misfires/stalls at times… but I think that is due to clogged inlets, I did too much riding recently in the dirt so got to clean the filters.
@@RanjanSh I got the fuelx lite along with PR slipons, NGK kit and W2S air filter. The setup now is really good.
Nice…. Now you’ll realize how smooth the engine turns out even at the highest rpm… post some video 🥳 let us all have a look at it.
How’s the fuel X doing now? Is there any updates? Anything better?
Hi, sorry was a bit busy these days. I have the video,editing in progress, will post it soon.
Is there any milage increase after installation? How much you are getting on long rides and city
It doesn’t affect fuel efficiency .
Are you still running the fuelX on your bike? Any long term reviews or observations? I couldnt find any video related to it after this one. Thanks
Yes I still have the FuelX on.
I recorded the long term review but kept that on hold… it would be fair to use it for few rides/months and then give my opinion, with little facts for my viewers.
But to give you a gist,
As of now, this definitely reduces the heating a tad bit.
Fuel efficiency goes down, that was expected.
Engine runs smoother.
I’ll know more during the engine change, basically how greasy my engine oil comes out.
@@RanjanShyour opinion on fuelx now??
My only concern would be if the filter is oiled, will it have an effect on the airflow sensor?
The O2 sensor is in the outlet (headers).
It improves mileage of the bike after exhaust change?
Nope
Hi bro.. today I got fuel x installed in my Interceptor, now the check engine light is on, is this normal? How to get rid of it?
No it’s not normal. Remove it and see if the light goes
please do a video on how it perform after installing. Iam eagerly waiting to buy one 🤩
Sure, video is done… just need to edit it. Been busy with the new year holidays.. will upload soon.
It has been a year since you told please upload the video 😅@@RanjanSh
@hoonigan4581 lol… buddy Ive delivered my promise. Spoken about the FuelX in one of my touring videos 😅 I don’t even remember which one.
It's ok we need a seprate video for fuel x lite because there is no video regarding lite version which you have on your 650 that's why...@@RanjanSh
@@Enfield_Maniac 🫵🏽 Noted on my to-do list 🤟🏾
Which exhaust do u use?
Powerage
I have euro 4. Should I use booster plug or fuel x?
Whichever is cheaper
@@RanjanSh booster about $40 cheaper
If you ride in different altitudes then the fuel X might be a better choice.
It’s a fuel optimiser , not a performance enhancer.
Yes that’s right.
Is it normal to ride in traffic with the high beam headlamp on? In the US we do not use the high beam as we approach other vehicles from the back or front. Understandably, the riding style with lane sharing and passing on both sides is considerably more aggressive and one needs to be seen more easily. Perhaps that is the reason? I could not put that much faith in the drivers around me to understand nor be willing to do the vehicular dance required to be in sync with others on the road.
It’s not normal, I wouldn’t drive on high beams. On a Bike, the beam is not so strong and harmless, but it alerts people of on oncoming bike from behind - that’s my only reason. In an ideal world, I should be overtaking from right, waiting for my turn to pass, on low beams but the fast lanes are occupied by slow drivers… bikers have an imaginary lane that’s the left most, near the sidewall even though we are the faster ones. At times I’m guilty of using high beam but it’s only to protect myself coz most commuters don’t even look at their RVMs.
Makes sense to me... I'd want to be visible as quickly as possible if riding aggressively. It looks like it takes quite a bit of skill to negotiate the tight spots and unknown, upcoming obstacles. Back in the 80's and 90's I raced closed course stand up PWC (Jet skis) highly modded and we would line up twenty skis to run a tight course. Even under those controlled conditions, impact was inevitable and painful. I guess that may be why I ride passively and enjoy taking in the experience of the ride. Particularly on my RE's... I have an Interceptor 650 and a REBorn Classic 350. Absolutely love these bikes. Best I've owned and I have owned countless bikes from HD to all the Japanese metric brands. RE suits me like no other bike...
@@bikernate8902 Out here, we like to be alerted when someone is wanting a pass, either by a beep or lights.. I lost the habit of honking after driving in UK for few years, so resort to keeping beams high.
My riding has changed a tad bit, become a little more aggressive as I understand the motorcycle better and have more control…. There are quite a few POV videos I’ve posted, pls check them out.
I had an RE 350 as well and still enjoy riding both equally. Inti gives much more control due to the the extra power.
Bro long-term update ?
Almost there, I am editing the video as I type. Will be published within a week
@@RanjanSh nice 👌🏿👌🏿, thank you for replying ❤️
Stand still.!!!!!
Excuse me?
Bro, Does it improve gear shifts?
Improve as in? Yes you will feel the need of shifting lesser.
@@RanjanSh gear shifting is little hard in my interceptor 650 , it becomes worst when engine over heats
@@krishnaniyer8001 how much has it run? Has it always been this way? Was it hard before the last oil change?
@@RanjanSh 5k Kms done, just 1.5 yrs old... I have observed difference after changing the oil, it works smoothly only for 1k kms after that issue re occour
@@krishnaniyer8001 try flushing before going for fully synthetic. But it’s difficult to tell a solution, a mechanic might be able to suggest better
It looked like you plugged te first plug in wrong.. Or maybe I'm wrong 🤷🏻♂️
😳 what are you saying, I’ve been running the bike like that since then…. How did you know I plugged it wrongly? I’m Very curious.
@@RanjanSh it's just me maybe.. 😂 it was because of the clip.. It looked like it was in different sides.. The first plug.. To me it seemed like it didn't clip in together well.
Yes, the left one didn’t ‘click’…. But both sides are identical, just like the twin cylinders… can go on either side.
Fuelx is not for performance. It's for fuel management. If you wanter to extract performance, better opt for Powertronic ECU.
I'm here searching for reviews of Fuelx Lite for Scram411. Many said it worked wonders in start-stop traffic and stalling issues.
Where have I said fuel x is for performance?
@@RanjanSh my bad brother.🤟🏻
I just missed one word.....
@@ishitpurani8905 I rode scram 411 in the toughest terrains last month for almost 1500kms, checkout my vlog (ride to Menchuka). The bike is absolutely perfect, fuel X is not required in this bike. What are you seeking extra from the 411?
@@RanjanSh I'm facing stalling issues in city traffic. It's embarrassing TBH considering it's a new bike. Service centre people aren't ready to accept it as if I don't know how to use a geared bike.
If that's the case, my 2009 R15 doesn't stall in city traffic ever....
That’s RE for you 🙂 all of them stall. S411 also stalls if you don’t pay attention in taking off. Fuel X lite will help you slightly (read marginally), pro on higher maps might give you better result but for that you have to get filter, spark plugs and FuelX all 3 in combination.
