You will lose full warranty on every electrical item including the ecu and all relay etc so stay away from slicing or cutting the wires and find some good mechanic who can custom make the required couplers/ connectors for the job.

Answer: I understand hence the Query. I am quite vary of doing such Foolish Things.

And one more thing the led headlight popular with twins and other bullet riders doesn't have good throw of beam it falls very short when compared to stock beam.
First try a good bulb like Philips Xtreme vision or osram night breaker which would work in stock h4 socket and give you better illumination.
And another thing is that the yellow beam is helpful in winter and rains. Yellow Peirce through fog better than white leds.

Answer: I have already installed an Aftermarket LED Bulb which costed Rs 800 with 6 months Warranty. So the load is reduced on the Battery. The stock Lens being non clear the spread is not far. Maybe some 100 Mtrs or so are illuminated. Hence wanted to change the Headlight. Can we change the Glass to Clear lens?

So, i got mine almost 1 and a half months back and now the odo stands somewhere around 2k kms. I really dont want to post a long winded account of how i booked the bike and how long it took to deliver and all, instead i ll just mention few of the things royal Enfield could've improved upon on an otherwise beautifully designed and well engineered bike.
1, cost cutting measures are all very obvious on this bike, especially when the key itself has a logo on one side and the otherside is left blank , looking at the key triggers my OCD sometimes. And the paint finish on the triple clamp is just sad , so is the finishing of the fork top bolts , they look like they came straight off a 100 cc commuter. Skimping on these parts could have been avoided. considering these are the bits rider sees everytime they get on the bike.



2, spartan meter console - i do dig the design but adding a clock and a gear position indicator, is that too much to ask for ?
Response: You are right. Some more Gizmos would have been icing on the cake.

3,switch gear - again feels very basic, lacks the proper tactile feel, finish too is very mediocre.
Response: I am planning to change the Switch Gear to a more premium ones. Waiting for 1st Service to be done away with. Have seen some Switch gear from Honda CBR. Even my Apache RR310 Switchgear is good. Still researching.

4, headlights - no complaints about the lights , beam and light spread is good. Really usable at night. But what i have a problem with, is when the lights turn on when the key is on. It should only turn on when the engine is fired up IMO. you arent going to notice the headlights are on and draining the battery at daytimes. Maybe they should consider adding a seperate position light instead of using the 55w bulbs to do that function.

Response: I suggest to get an LED. This will reduce the load on the Battery a lot. I am not sure if only White LEDs are available. This is a Plug and Play. LED Bulb with a Cooler. Also suggest changing the Taillight Bulb to LED. Reduces load on Battery. I replaced the Taillight bulb as well. Red stays lighted all the times and blink when Brakes are pressed.

5,seat - rider section is good no problems there but the rear passenger part when someone gets on it ,kinda sags , not the cushion but the seat frame itselfs kinda sinks in, almost as if there is no proper support for the rear section of the seat.
This becomes very obvious if u remove the stock sissy bars and if the passenger is not properly holding on to the rider there is a really good chance that she/he might end up on the road while u ride away.

Response: Only option is to strengthen the Seat by adding Foam.

5, although gear shift feel has become much improved after the first oil change , its still not perfect. Occasional false neutrals can be expected. But that being said its still way way way better than all the other RE's out there..

Response: This I suggest check the Clutch Play. I have never had false neutrals and the Gear Shift is Butter Smooth. Only the 1st Gear when engaged makes the "Thad" Sound. Make sure some Play is available when Clutch lever is pressed. You may want to move the Clutch lever a bit outward. I feel there is some slack on the Clutch Cable.

6,speed wobbles are a thing - front end starts to wobble at tripple digit speeds. But it only happens at not that good section of roads.. on smooth roads it behaved allright.
But its nerve racking to get wobbles at 130 -140 ish speeds on this bike.
I hope Someone makes a steering damper for this thing as soon as possible.

Response: I have been successful in overcoming teh urge to cross 3000 RM or 80 KMPH.

Answer: I have already installed an Aftermarket LED Bulb which costed Rs 800 with 6 months Warranty. So the load is reduced on the Battery. The stock Lens being non clear the spread is not far. Maybe some 100 Mtrs or so are illuminated. Hence wanted to change the Headlight. Can we change the Glass to Clear lens?

Thank You mate. Please see my responses above

Hi everyone, my issue with the handlebar wobble post 60-70 kmph has been resolved. They changed the front wheel assembly and the issue sorted out. A huge thanks to RE service for their immense support on this regard. Thank you all!!!

Suren, thank you for following back, and glad to hear your issue is sorted out. Could you expand a bit more on as to what were replaced. i.e. was only the front wheel replaced or the entire front end including the T stem, forks, wheels, the complete front end replaced?

Cheers!

Yes the older Thunderbird headlight glass but you need to buy the whole headlight for it. Someone has already done it.

Is the TB headlight assembly a direct plug and play? It has projector so not sure if it will be plug and play
