Thread: Royal Enfield Classic 500

Hi RE500 Owners, I need your help to help my Friend who owns an RE 500 Stealth Black 2018 Model.

He is facing an issue with the Battery where the Battery contacts burn out due to spark/Arcing at the contacts.

This leads to him not being able to start the Bike.

This has now happened many times and he is considering selling his new Bike.

Do you have any solution to this problem or a recommendation of a good service center in Bangalore?

Hi Gurus,

Need some help! after a brief hiatus I got back to motorcycling world and picked up a pre-worshiped 2016 DS 500 with 4200 KMs on the ODO. This is my first stint with a royal enfield and the experience has been great so far barring one issue that I have been facing, after riding the motorcycle in heavy traffic the bike tends to stall as if it has run out of fuel. If I were to turn it off and ride if back again after 10-15 mins it rides normally, so based on my limited experience with bullets I am guessing its overheating?

On a side note ,I did get the oil changed, the spark plugs and the air filter cleaned just a few days back but the issue persists. Also, the previous owner did install a cannon performance exhaust if this info helps at all I also have the stock silencer with me which I am planning to revert to see if the custom exhaust is causing the issue but love the thump of the cannon exhaust so would want to confirm first before I change it.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Amit.

Hello RE owners..

I have completed 27K kilometers on stock tyres and now looking for a change, I am looking for something better than the stock tyres. Please suggest which tyres to go for which provides good grip even in rains. ??

Hi.
I own a Royal Enfield Classic 500 Stealth Black and at this point facing some serious issues. I purchased my vehicle in March 2019. The run in was done properly and the vehicle ran smoothly with normal vibrations. In month of August after I had done ~4000 KMs on one unfortunate day me and my friends were trying to kick start the bike. We were trying and learning how to properly kick start the bike in one kick itself. We jumped on the kick started for around ~40 minutes. The kick slipped many times and many times the vehicle started. From the very next I started experiencing heavy vibrations and rattling. Earlier the vibrations used to kick in at 60kmph @ 3rd gear and 80kmph @4 th gear. The shaky vibrations start at 40kmph on 3rd gear and I feel them even while decelerating. They rattle the vehicle even when decelerating with throttle closed and stay while the the speed decreases by ~20kmph. For example 80 to 60 on 4th gear. The acceleration is also not linear and I feel the shaky pulling. I took it to service center and they simply ignored it saying that 500 has vibrations and these are normal ones. Now the vibrations have gone down a bit because of the parts been worn out. Now I have around 9000 KMs in the odo. I made them open the left side case but they say that they find everything fine when it's actually not. I am not able to figure out what the kick starter could damage that resulted in these vibrations. Please let me know if you have encountered any issues like this or if you have any idea.
