    Re: Royal Enfield Classic 500

    Hey guys, my friend bought the new classic chrome yesterday and the problem is it requires lil bit of throttle to start up. It just won't start without throttle. Is it because of the low rpm setting?? Or is it something else?

      Same is the case with me and seems like EFi Bulls are made like this.

      Had a chat with mechanic at service centre, he also confirmed the same.

      I am enjoying my SB500, ask him to simply enjoy his chrome.

      The huge torque and power on EFi is just exceptional.

      BTW guys please suggest any aftermarket safety locks like disc lock etc. for the bike, stock handlebar lock looks flimsy to me. Need a helmet lock as well.

        Thanks mate! The torque and power on thid one is amazing. We have a C350 in the group too but after riding this i'm in love with the crisp acceleration! I'll update here if i find a solution to the startup issue. Enjoy your ride bud!
        There are many disc locks available online ranging from ₹300-2000. And for the helmet lock you can go to a nearby helmet shop and buy one. Shouldn't cost more than 200 bucks.

          Guys today I have got my bull serviced at 425kms, service manager rode it like fire on his tail, I was pillion and guys I never imagined that my bull can actually do that, he simply did 0-90 in just 200m approx, must be around 4-6 sec max.

          I was really horrified being pillion, and he must be close to 90-100kg in weight and me approx 65-70.

          It was really amazing to see the power of this machine.

          Since service I am doing approx 80-90kmph max, and doing that at high RPMs in every gear. Though not too much high.

          Please pour in your inputs.

              You would have been saying the same thing, if you would have been the pillion instead of me.

                [MENTION=72467]VivekRj.Dieselhead[/MENTION] Try ABUS Disc Brake Lock. You can buy it on Amazon. It will cost you 1200. Buy it and keep your love safe.

                  Tried finding it on Amazon, but there was only one available that too was costing some 17-18 grands, I would better keep a chain and a Harrison lock (lock all my things like helmet bike and bag) instead of spending this much amount just for a disc lock.
                  Just joking don't take it seriously, and please suggest some other lock, or please post the link of your said lock.

                    I cldnt fetch the link cause it is not available right now so sharing its name and image. Keep checking it on daily basis at Amazon, it comes in very few in nos. and sells out like a hot cake. It is totally worth it as I am using it. It would cost you 1200.

                      Don't you think that the key is to be duplicated by any road side key maker.

                        Give it a try. Anyway when you will get hands on it you will know why ABUS is best in bike security.

                          Been there...done that! Felt like it took ages to reach the 90-100 mark. Maybe its just because am used to sport and naked bike.
                          But I did enjoy the torque while riding it around the city

                            Hi all,

                            Planning to do some modification in my Desert Storm. My boy is doing 23K KM without any problem.. Some "NUT" loose is common in "ROYAL FAMILY".

                            Please provide your views on this.

                            1) SEAT MODIFICATION
                            OPTIONS
                            a) Without spring type, with heavy cushion on rider seat and pillion seat.
                            b) Only Extra FOAM on both seat
                            2) HANDLE BAR
                            Nowadays i am seeing Classics with raised, wider handle bar in Black color, it looks very nice. How about the comfort both city and highway??
                            3)EXHAUST
                            a)Interested in upswept silencer, but i think it is not available at the showrooms these days, any other way to source it?
                            b)what about continetal GT Exhaust? Will this be a direct fit? If it fits, any drawback??
                            c)Open to any other suggestions.

                            Guys please provide your views, now i am chasing each modified classics in city, to get the feedback from the owners.

                            thanks
                            vipin

                              If you are looking for RE upswept exhaust then I have one.
                              If you are in Pune then I can help you with it.
                              Regarding seat adding foam is not much of help.
                              For handlebar check for RD extended handlebar

                              Regards

                                Hi Mandar,
                                I am from Bangalore. Why you are selling upswept exhaust?? Have you used RD350 handle bar? How is the handling??
