      For cold mornings, it means for winter mornings. So, for normal days ES should work.
      There is another theory that kick start affects some part - some compressor. Sorry for I dont remember exact name of part.
      But yes, we should follow manual.[emoji56]

          Its not cold morning, its for cold engine. It is advised to Kick Start only, in case pf cold weather, also use choke.

          What you are referring too is the sprag clutch, thats the reason you should dummy kick with engine off to let the oil move around. ES is advised in 500cc due to EFI, KS works better for carbed bikes like 350

              Hey Amey, actually there is nothing to elaborate here, this has been a point of discussion always but kick start is what I use for the initial start of the day and also mentioned in the manual as you pointed out.

                        One month is pretty generous by RE standards. People have waited for a year!!
                        New plant will lower waiting period.

                        I booked TB350 in May in Thane. I have told that I need delivery in October - that's 5months wait. But I am ready to wait as I won't be using bike in monsoon anyways.
                        From 15th Aug, I will start calling the dealer to make sure I get delivery 'on time' in October [emoji41]

                          A few months back i walked into the nearest re dealership and enquired about the tb as usual, and what i heard was music to my ears.
                          Back then the waiting period had dropped to 1week!!

                          I was hoping that the waitin period wont increase again when i wud be able to buy the bike but.....sigh.

                          Trust me i'd beg to the dealer if that makes any difference in the waiting period.

                              If you plan to buy it in cash and not in finance then I am sure there can be significant decrease in the waiting period.. I had received my TB in 3 days. Had I opted for finance the waiting period was 1 month..

                                Hello Guys,

                                Wanted to know if there is any way to prevent water coming on to shoes and engine while driving in rains???

                                I use my TB for every day commute so not using it in rainy days is not an option for me.....
                                I don't ride a bike to add days to my life, I ride a bike to add life to my days.....
