Re: Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 Owners Experiences

No i went for marine color. Matte effect may fade away if not properly maintained.

Re: Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 Owners Experiences

wise choice. i feel that it is not good to get a product @ this price without paint warranty. why should RE sell it without warranty? any thoughts

Re: Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 Owners Experiences

Hello,

I have a thunderbird 350 which is now a year old.... and i use it for daily commute which amounts to around 30 kms to and fro from home to office location.
And use it for weekend rides as well. Its been driven for 12000 kms now and there are no back pain issues at all.

I had an accident before few years and have back problem but believe me there is none using this bike and rides like a charm even in heavy traffic as i use it in peak hours as well.

Also have driven it to 250 kms in a stretch without issues.

So go with it with your eyes closed.

Re: Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 Owners Experiences

Thanks a lot biker.abhi.. Your input has given me more confidence.. What maintenance should I look into closely???

Re: Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 Owners Experiences

I have completed 4 free services till now and there was no expense other than oil change.
Each oil change costs around 900-1000 Rs.

Now i am thinking to give AMC to the showroom people only but also exploring another options as showroom people are not responsible one's so having my own doubts on that issue.

Re: Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 Owners Experiences

I did a test ride yesterday and felt the back pain... So I've cancelled my booking... Now I'm planning to book a scooter... Feeling bad for missing this one... But will give this scooter a run for a year and will try again!!

Re: Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 Owners Experiences

Sad to hear that...

Re: Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 Owners Experiences

AMC will just cover washing and adjusting few things. All other consumables and labour will be charged extra. IMO, don't opt for AMC.

Re: Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 Owners Experiences

Yeah man cancelled AMC plan anyways they are all crap service centers.

Have got one local service centre will get it service from there as its a friends garage at least i can trust him.

Re: Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 Owners Experiences

Hello Friends,

I have one query hopefully someone can help me.

My Thunderbird's digital meter which shows the miles and clock have stopped working (God knows why). And my bike is just 15 days away from having the 1 year warranty expired. But the catch is i have already done more than 12500 KMS (Due to long weekend rides).

The service center says it wont get covered under warranty as it has done 12000 KMS.

So does anyone here has encountered such issue till now?

Re: Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 Owners Experiences

I own a Thunderbird 350 - 2014 model. Everything is perfectly fine with the bull except the ride comfort.

Now ride comfort here means not the seating position, handle bar etc but indeed I mean the suspension set up. Especially the rear gas filled shock absorbers. Every pothole sends a bad vibe to my back. I have tried everything on earth like maintaining proper air pressure (22 front and 32 rear). I maintain this air pressure because I am a well built person and this is the air pressure specified in the manual booklet for rider+pillion.

I have also adjusted the rear shock absorbers to the last level. Still I do not find any difference in the ride comfort.

Does anyone face similar issue.

Bull Riders, please share your thoughts

Thanks in advance..
