Installation Notes

1. Confirm RLQ00213 / RLQ00213/A against the VIN/EPC before fitting.

5. Clean the cylinder-head sealing face carefully.

Return-Prevention Note / Before You Buy

1. Match the complete SKU RLQ00213/A.
2. Confirm your exact motorcycle colour / engine-finish variant.
3. Confirm that you require the Textured Black cover.
4. Do not order merely because the motorcycle is an Interceptor 650 or Continental GT 650; other variants use different cylinder-head covers.
5. Do not confuse this cover with 575247, which is only the gasket.
6. Compare the removed component, current VIN/EPC and genuine packet before installation.

Orders cannot be cancelled once placed. Eligible wrong-item or damaged-item claims require applicable proof and a complete unboxing video under store policy.

FAQs

What is RLQ00213/A?
It is the genuine Royal Enfield textured-black cylinder-head top cover, commonly called the rocker cover or valve cover.

Does it fit Interceptor 650?
Yes, on catalogue-confirmed Black Ray and Barcelona Blue variants. It is not the correct factory cover for every Interceptor 650 colour/finish.

Does it fit Continental GT 650?
Yes, on catalogue-confirmed Apex Grey and Slipstream Blue variants.

Does it fit Interceptor 650 Mark 2?
The checked catalogue specifies 575074, not RLQ00213.

Is the rocker-cover gasket included?
Do not assume it is included. The gasket is separately catalogued as 575247.

Are the four sealing washers included?
Do not assume so. 575595 is separately catalogued, quantity 4.

Is this the complete cylinder head?
No. This is only the removable upper cylinder-head / rocker cover.

Does it fit all Royal Enfield 650 models?
No. Other 650 models must be verified by exact EPC before ordering.

Google Shopping Notes

Competitor Gap Analysis

Typical listings stop at 'Cylinder Head Cover - Textured Black' and broadly say Interceptor/GT 650. This listing improves accuracy by identifying the confirmed black-engine colour variants, separating RLQ00213/A from 575074 and RLQ00255/A, identifying the separately sold gasket/washers/bolts, and avoiding unsupported blanket fitment across every Royal Enfield 650 model.
