  • I've booked my Classic 500 on Sept. 1 in a RE flagship store here in B'lore. The waiting period is 6-8 months, I knew this beforehand, so I was prepared. Hope to get the bike at the earliest, maybe around late Feb or early March. This is going to be my first bike and hope I am prepared for it.

        Thanks, all credit goes to my father for getting me one. Now the only thing to be done is "waiting".

            The new ones differ in heat range of the points. Old ones use to come with 7WD and the new ones are 8WD. All the Bikes post May-June come with 8WD. This hopefully reduces the carbon deposits on the plugs, cold start and hopefully miss fire.

            But not sure if there is another call back replacement after this one.



            My Bike is having a major rusting issue. Pain job is not proper and it has already started rusting from here n there.

            • Ya, i guess there is another one for the injector.

              Rusting is a common issue.. try the reflon coat that does help.

              last night the starter relay has conked off in my bike. need to get it replaced.

              • CL 500 - Pillion seat and Upswept silencer

                I have two questions on CL500 -

                1. Is riding with the single seat (without the pillion seat) in cities allowed by RTO?
                2. Is it allowed to ride with the upswept silencer (in CL 500) within cities as per RTO rules

                Please suggest. Thanks.

                    1. Yes.
                    2. No, it is not street legal, but no one really cares.

                    • Aaaaaaaargh! Can't stand the wait anymore!

                      How does one go about remaining patient during the never-ending waiting period? Its been about 3 months since I booked one, and I'm losing my mind!

                        Thanks a lot dude. I was a bit worried that I won't be able to ride with a single seat on and the upswept silencer...Now I can relax
