re: Royal Enfield Classic 350 Owner's Review and Experiences

I have used the seat from Perfect seatmakers and it is really perfect, I have done 750 KM in a day on that seat and no pain.
Regarding the tyre pressure I use 30 and 22. it is good for road grip.

Classic 350 long term experience,Problems & Modification

In 2010 i am planning to buy Royal enfield But confused between pulsar 220 and Royal enfield. my heart is telling Royal enfield.
First Impression:-
I ride Before RE 2 times in my life only 1km.
My first ride on the Cl350 wasn't a pleasant I find it very Uncomfortable to drive because its Very Heavy,
I felt that i am sitting on the top of Generator..lol coz i never drive such kind of bikes.
BUT I AM ENJOYING EACH BIT.
It takes 3,4 days to get used to the power and the vibration

One thing, It grabs everyone's attention on the road 50+ person till now asking about my bike.
Mostly Compare OLD Vs New. Classic definitely got LooKs

Pros:
The looks are attractive,self start, disc brake and gas filled shockers,Low maintenance

Cons:
Rear disc brake, Fuel Meter and RPM meter(digital dashboard).

Two thing Comes Free with Royal enfield :-

1.) Feeling of man
2.) Bullet "chale toh Duniya rasta de".
+ addition
3.) I Never Stop by any Cop/traffic Police

During FREE service period => Overall Performance:
Fuel Average got 39-40kmpl, Occasionally Used 5th gear
The throttle response is very good and the pickup is instantaneous
Feeling Amazing Torque
The thump is muted
Suspension can ride pretty smoothly over rough terrain like gravel and mud, and bumps.
Brakes is Good(rear disk brake require) the rear brake pad has no life.
Tyres is ok not the best
Handling is quite tough to handle this heavyweighter in rush hours and slow moving traffic.
The gear feels a bit hard and has a lot of false neutrals.
Problem encountered Free service:
1.) Hard Gear
2.) False Neutrals
3.) I found bike front shocker sleeves paint scratched.
In Third day, I wake up in the morning and saw the rear Tyre got puncture. 3 puncture repaired.
4.) One week later, i kick my bike to start its start but when i saw kick lever i am shocked its Loose and hanging like a
pendulum, they didn't came-up. I use my hand to up the lever and drive.(No problem with start)
After 3,4 days, To resolve kick lever, i reach noida service station, The mechanic told me lever spring is problem and i ask "kaise
kharab hui" ,he told me "kisi ne jor se kick mar di hogi".
Install new spring Rs20
5.)The Free service time came again same problem kick lever,i decided to repair in 1st service

Electric Start vs Kickstart. Which is better for RE Classic 350?

I am not sure if this discussion had been held elsewhere. If so, please re-direct me.

For the past one month i am a proud owner of a RE Classic 350..

While delivery of the vehicle, the dealer fellow specifically told me that i should always use kick start for cold starting the engine.

But the OWNER's MANUAL has cautioned that cold start should be done only using electric start.

And my research on the net till now hasn't yielded any clear-cut answer. Please help me regarding this..

1) Should i use electric start or kick start in the mornings?? Does using kick start cause damage to moving parts?


2) Also, there is a lot of mention about cranking the engine. What does that mean?? (Pardon me if this is a silly question)

Re: Electric Start vs Kickstart. Which is better for RE Classic 350?

1. Always use electric start when cold starting the engine. Forget what the delivery guy told, they blabber anything. If you want the life of your sprag clutch to be long then always use ES when cold starting and there are few other reasons.

2. Cranking the engine? Are you sure you read this. May be it would be engine starts at first crank, second crank etc?

Re: Electric Start vs Kickstart. Which is better for RE Classic 350?

This sometimes refers to using the kicker a few times with the ignition OFF so as to circulate the oil within the engine before ignition takes place (i.e. before you actually start the bike) - since a lot of wear and tear happens during the initial startup, it is advised to crank a few times before turning on the ignition and then letting the bike idle for around 30 seconds to a minute before moving on cold starts (i.e when the bike is left parked for more than a few hours)
I believe this is a good practice (at least the idling for a minute before moving).

Again this being a bullet, it may refer to the 'starting mechanism' since these uce bullets do not have a decompression lever... you may have to gently crank (if using the kick starter) before ignition happens (sorry i do not know how to explain this by typing here )

Re: Royal Enfield Classic 350 Owner's Review and Experiences

can you post any pictures of the seat. also has anyone put on the longer seat as in electra ???
the pillion seat is very uncomfortable.

Re: Electric Start vs Kickstart. Which is better for RE Classic 350?

Thanks for the info. And Yes, that's what it says. "Crank engine a few times to lubricate cylinder walls and piston" and "Close the hole and crank engine several times
and refit sparkplug"

I think i get it.. I've seen some Bullet owners do that.. But i didn't know 'crank the engine' was the term for that. Thanks a bunch for clarifying. I'll follow that hereafter.

Carburettor Issue or something else!!

Hi;

I have a Royal Enfield Classic 350. I am facing an issue with my bullet.
When I start the bike, it idles properly and when I try to open the throttle, it misfires a lot and then the engine dies. I talked to a local mechanic about the problem.
He told me that there is a problem with the carburettor because of which the spark-plugs are also getting short.

The mechanic says that I need to replace the faulty carburettor to resolve the problem.

Has anyone faced such issue? Any resolutions?

Thanks

Re: Getting royal enfield classic 350 by paying extra money

I don't think it takes 6-8 months now.. My friend recently got it in 3 months in chennai. I guess that's the situation after their new plant became operational..

Has anyone here faced problems with the front fork.?? During my first service, the mechanic told me that the fork is tightening on its own.. He claimed that he has sorted it out, but i'm still having a very stiff handle bar..

Any idea of how to approach this issue???

Re: Getting royal enfield classic 350 by paying extra money

Fork tightening on it's own not sure, but handle bar can be adjusted in 5 mins at ASC. Get it checked there, I had this handle bar issue as well
