Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 - Factory Sump Guard 

I just bought a GT (winter time) and had the dealer(tech) install engine guard and sump guard. One should always thank the techs for doing a good job to making your bike perfect. Looked to be more of a job than I would have wanted to tackle. " A mans got to know his limitations" LOL. 👍👍5🏍🙋‍♂️

I fitted the sump guard and engine bars at the same time. It isn't a quick easy job. With the oil filter being at the front, directly behind the front wheel maybe the sump guard should be a standard item fitted at the factory. Great video mate.

That sump guard *does* look smart! It protects the oil filter as well as the sump, and it says "This owner cares!".

Great review Warro ,you make it look easy ,amazing footage with the new Camera Mate 👍

Thanks from France for your great help ! ✌️👍👍👍

Hi you don't need to remove the exhaust on the interceptor to fit the sump protector. You just need a small piece of 8mm hex and a 8mm spanner to fit the rear brackets. A ratchet spanner is better. The bolts don't need to come out of the frame.

Thanks. Very helpful 👍

Looks good👌

Excellent tutorial, Warro! The close-up views, lighting, and narration were topnotch. The trial of the 2 ways to hang the exhaust headers was also helpful. Two questions: 1) How did you get the bike so clean? 2) How much clearance remained between the guard and the oil filter?

That looks like fun when you go too do an oil change.

Thanks Warro. Btw, what's the story with the headlight protection grill? Looks great.

Very useful video. Out of interest . Does the front bracket make it more difficult to get the oil filter out . I know the plate needs to come off. Just wondering about the bracket.

After 8 months how is the sump guard... does sump getting enough ventilation...... for cooling....

A fair old job, I would concede, mate. But the protection you get could be worth its weight in gold. Theres a fair bit of nasty damage and work that guard is preventing. Was that the stock exhaust, Warro, I forget? That was some serious weight to maul with the muffler attached; I think taking it off would transform the job for someone without your size and strength. Even so, seemed to keep your biceps pretty busy, mate! I know the editing is a faff but the footage on your new kit definitely aces the old. The jewel in the crown is on the closeup and zoom work; it is pin sharp and smoother on the new kit. However, for a quick session, the old gear is perfectly acceptable if you are short on time. Seems strange, not seeing the ktm alongside the other 2 in your paddock! It'll be back soon. Really like all 3 of 'em; I'll be lucky if I can buy 1 of them, so it's great to see someone get all 3 and have them to bits, play with them and put them through their paces. Thank you kindly for letting us into your playground, friend...lol. keep smilin' chap.....

So, with the sump guard, you have to go thru this whole process in reverse when you need to replace your oil filter...I think I'll give the sump guard a miss...

Fiddly old job i presume it has to come off for an oil and filter change Warro.

Looks ok but what a ball ache

I think I just decided not to install mine. What a pain.
