Just picked up my first RE today after being on a variety of HD bikes for the last 25 years.

Viva indian bike

This has to be the WORST dealership in existence. Their service center is equally bad too, filled with unserious folks.
I got my bike in January which they delayed because of missing parts and what not. Over that they attached my number plate 1 month late! Their service center will take you for granted and will never call you themselves. You have to keep a track on them by calling them repeatedly.
Just 3 months after that I got a battery issue. Gave at the service center. Those stupid guys just charged my battery and gave it back to me whereas obviously the issue was much bigger. Those fools couldn’t comprehend what the issue was and I had to get it fixed from another service center.
Now this issue happened again and I thought to trust these guys but again they did some bullshit. They kept my bike for a week and when later I called to get a status update they told me to take this to another service center. Are you seeing their sheer audacity??
NEVER BUY FROM THIS DEALERHIP!!

I rode Ahmedabad to Delhi (1000km) in just over 1 day. And I'm not too sure whethet to be concerned about the tappet noise. Sometimes I feel this much noise was since beginning. Then I feel that it has gotten louder.

After going through multiple posts. I'm confused whether to get it fixed or not. Some say its normal. Some say get it fixed.

What to do?

Thanks for the help.

Installed the black airfly evo engine guard, sump guard, and touring windshield. Peeled off the orange wheel rim lines. Ordered the chrome and black royal enfield logo of meteor supernova model, will be placing that instead of the orange logo soon.

Super Meteor Celestial Red

My interceptor has those thin old handles which stopped coming after 2023, not the current ones.

Have i ruined my bike?

Himalayan and Super Meteor

After almost three years and surviving a life-threatening accident, I went for a long Sunday ride on my Meteor 350.

For the past three years I was hesitant to go on Sunday rides, but last week I decided and said to myself that it was time to take this beauty for a long awaited Sunday ride.

My once-constant obsession - almost 500 km now.
No edits. The natural light was a paid actor!

Hello my friends!

Hope you are all doing well.

I'm getting a Bear 650 and considering the options regarding the top case and top case support.

From my research I've not found much info online and I think that RE OEM top case is a bit expensive.

Are there any top cases besides the RE one that are compatible with RE rack? Is it worth getting it with the rack or are there any third party top case racks that I should look into?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!

For reference, never ridden so much as a moped. Always known I’d wanted to ride, and I have finally made a decision. Now for reference, I am the type of guy who will always, always, do things in the hardest way possible, out of nothing but pure arrogance. That being said, in your opinion’s, would starting on a 650 (max for LAMS) be too much to learn on? Realistically still going to get the 650, just want to know what I’m in for.

Hey everyone,

Looking to replace my stock tyres soon and need some recommendations. I mostly use my bike for city rides and weekend touring

Has anyone tried Reise tyres (like the TrailR or TourRad)? Are they a solid upgrade, or should I stick to Apollo Tramplr / Ceat / Pirelli?

Would love to hear your long-term reviews and what you are currently running. Thanks!

Just hit 1010 km on the Meteor 350, and I caught a pretty cool binary moment on the instrument cluster to mark the milestone.

Now that the run-in phase is officially done and the first service is out of the way, I thought I’d share an honest 1k km review of what life has been like with the bike so far.

# The Good

Post-Service Feel: The bike felt brand new all over again right after the first service at 500km. Everything smoothed out significantly.

Touring & Ergonomics: On open roads and longer highway rides, this thing is a dream. The riding posture and overall feel are top-tier, zero complaints on the open road.

Heat Management: When I first got it, the heat in heavy city traffic was pretty noticeable. Over time, I’ve either gotten used to it or the engine has settled down, but it’s much less of a concern now.

# The NotSoGood(ish)

City Commuting & Clutch: Stop-and-go bumper-to-bumper traffic is a workout. Constant clutch pulls get tedious real fast.

Tappet Noise: The infamous RE tappet chatter is definitely present. It’s slightly annoying, though I know it’s somewhat part of the character. Still, anyone else notice it getting louder post-1k?

The Seat / Raincoat Water Leak Mystery: This is my biggest issue right now. When riding in the rain (as its monsoon now) while wearing a full body suit over my clothes, water somehow seeps from the back and front, leaving the middle of the seat and my pants completely soaked. Has anyone else experienced this with the OEM/touring seat?

Battle Scars: Already managed to get a few small scratches and grey marks on the tank. Hurts the soul a little bit, but hey, it builds character.

Overall, I’m loving the ride despite the minor quirks.

I can't find it on royal enfield india website, i think it's discontinued so hesitant to buy it

Name is royal enfield urban carrier backpack

Thanks our distributor of RE (in Russia), they do so many free of charge activities with such kind of photos as bonus! That we are recently on June 20th in Saint Petersburg's White Nights ride.

How to draw must out of 350s RE engines.

I've heard about Sprocket ratio change,bore out, iridium spark plugs,etc.

Let me know how you guys are extracting all the powers this machine is capable of
