Hi All,
In this post I am sharing my experience, problems and positives of the bike.
I got my bike on 5th April of 2011. It took almost 2 months to complete the first 1000 kms.
First of all, the looks of the bike are killer. Everyone turns their head when the bike passes by.
Especially the blue or green whatever color looks awesome.
The reason I opted this color because it comes only with 500cc.
So only just looking at the color anyone can say it is 500cc bull.
Now when it comes to riding comfort, the rider's seat is very much comfortable.
Previously I had an Apache RTR 160cc. So it took some time for me to get adjusted to the sitting position.
Though the actual riding comfort will be evaluated when I ride the bike more than 200 kms on a day.
Till now I have ridden it only 100 kms on a day.
Now after the two week of delivery and 300 kms, all fuses were blown. The horn n electric start stopped working.
So I took it to the service center. I got to know that my starter motor was jammed.
And I have been told that I will get the new motor after a week, which was very disappointing for me.
So the bike was in the garage for a week.
But when the motor got replaced, I have not experienced any problems till now.
I can say that the bike is Mukhan (Smooth like butter).
I got the bike serviced at the time of replacement of the starter motor.
The mileage of bike before the first service was 25-26 kmpl.
But after the first service, I am getting the mileage of at least 30 kmpl.
The Royal Enfield Authorized Service center at Bhandup (Mumbai) really sucks.
They didn't even lubricate my bike properly. The joints, the clutch were making noises which clearly indicated that there is no lubricant. So I have to get the bike lubricated from the Auth Rayal Enfield Serice center at Dombivali (Mumbai).
I will never go and recommend the the bhandup (Mumbai) service center. It really sucks.
Handling is very easy, bike is very stable till 90 kmph.
I haven't crossed 90 kmph mark till now.
So far I am very much satisfied n happy with the bike.
Will share more things later with u guys.
Wear helmets, do not use high beams unless required. Have a safe ride
And last but not the least keep thumping.
