Kms running does matters a lot for engine to get settle between it's new expected performance, So surely wait untill the initial kms mentioned in manual for 1st service. -
Friends / Moderators
Why is XBhp having less / no coverage about the RE 500 TB launch, no official ride report by XBhp. Is it just that companies pay for these kind of promo's, I always was under the impression that XBhp is a neutral body and not affiliated / attached to any brand
There are many such launches / products, why is XBhp having this partiality
Moderators - Just wanted to know the reason for this, not sure if this will get posted or not.Never Give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

Hi guys I own a cl 350 which is just one and a half month old and done 700 km. Last week I gave it for first service, but after that a strange noise like krrrrrrrr is coming from the front brake lever whenever it is applied at speed in excess of 40kmph below 40 it is not that audible but above 40 it is very much audible.
Can any one out there tell me what this noise is and any one have noticed it on their bull. Please help me out, would be very gratefulComment

Same happen with me some days back. I just pushed the self button and loud blast sound comes after few seconds of start, then i tried to start again bt i failed. I noticed the air pipe was removed from the carburetor mouth, I tried to tighten it, but it wont work, then i called RE guy, he just tight the air supply pipe somewhere below tank, and bike was ready again. At last he said there was pressure in engine that's y pipe got removed from its place.

I got scared and got the RE mechanic home. He just tightened off one piston somewhere near carborator and said you must have given extra race.. thus he started the bike and it startedd as butter. I reall have no idea why this happened and what that guy did. But seriously for about 15-20 minutes my heartbeat hadd got really fast since I thought Engine of my bike has gone.

Back blast will happen even with stock bazooka silencer. My CL500 (stock silencer) also suffer back blasts although of very low intensity. Free flow and aftermarket exhausts have more back blast issues.Originally posted by drkpso View PostStrength is measured in pounds.

2nd Service Done
I got my C5's second free service done yesterday. Total money spent = Rs1750. One of the spark plugs was replaced since it was short/burnt due to which bike was missing at very slow speeds. Spark plug alone costed Rs750 (so much for free service
). The silencer gasket was also loose due to which there was a change in exhaust sound. Gasket was replaced (Rs 30) and bike sound's back to normal. Bike is running smooth as butter & has done 1150kms till now. Not taking it above 80 till it crosses 2k kms mark.

Recently, there was a fire accident in Ludhiana due to puncture in the fuel pipe caused by constant friction between the fuel pipe and battery housing owing to vibration.
When my son's Classic 500 Black was given for the fourth and the last free servicing a few days back at HSR Enterprises, Rajajinagar Industrial Estate, Bangalore, this incident was mentioned to the SA with a request to do something to protect the fuel pipe from the battery housing. They provided a protective sheath over the fuel pipe without charging anything.

This is a nice temp solution, but I guess you need to think for some better idea! This plastic won't last more.
I personally rode it to 130kmph!! And let me tell you the confidence at that speed on RE was nil...where as I am more confident on R15/P220/CBR/Duke...Originally posted by Praj zm View Post
My friend rides it to 130kmph mostly on highways!!
But I seriously think that any RE model is best in 80-100kmph then >100kmph!! Though first time ever CL500 model inspired me to at 110kmph....but beyond that it's like gambling...Last edited by Guest; 01-12-2013, 09:52 PM.Comment

Can anybody let me know how to decode VIN number on classic???Comment

This is a photograph of my son's RE Classic 500.Originally posted by rahul2880 View Post
The VIN contained the letters CC indicating March 2012 make; A = January; B = February; C = March; I and J are omitted. Similarly, another C indicates 2012; A = 2010; B = 2011. If it is a new bike, the emission test sticker [pasted inside the utility box] will also indicate the date of testing, which is another way of finding out the manufacturing date.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
