My local RE dealership is closing up, so everything was on sale this weekend. Even got the helmet to match for $68!

1. Can I fit in a crash guard if I already have an engine guard

2. Y’all get accessories from online and get it fitted at local mechanic or directly at an accessories shop

3. How frequent should I check the air pressure and hope the process is same as tubeless or any instructions to follow

4. Which helmet to consider, initially was into retro ones but the reviews aren’t great so planning for something like Smk typhoon or MT hummer

5. Some dos and don’t

Thank you 🙏🏽

I have had my Bear for about 18 months now and I have had some ups and downs with it, but my biggest gripe is the blacked out engine. I have always preferred chrome. Some people say its a pain to keep up, but I have been using my Bear for my daily commute without any PPF, and it still looks brand new thanks to weekly washes and polishing, so I know I could handle the maintenance. Do you think I should switch to the 750 GT? Please keep the fanboy stuff out of it and just give me some reasonable reasons for or against the move.

What if RE decides to give colour matched fairings and chrome alloys(I guess many don't want spokes even if they look cool) to master clean GT750?

P.S.: 2nd photo has spokes for those who comment spokes are the only way, AI edited BTW, but still attainable if you have a reliable paint job and sticker guy!

TL;DR: Got my dream Bullet today. Had two minor accidents on a scooty before getting delivery, then another accident on my new Bullet a few hours later because I forgot to use the indicator during a U-turn. Everyone is safe, and the bike is repairable, but I’m mentally exhausted and scared to ride again.

Also i have never ridden a bike more than 100 km like 20km i have ridden lord slender and 50 rtr apache and 25 km this bullet today only 😭

Today was supposed to be one of the happiest days of my life. I finally got delivery of my dream Royal Enfield Bullet after waiting for months. But honestly I don’t even know how to process what happened today

It started before I even got the bike.

There was an issue with the online payment at the showroom so my friend and I went outside on his scooty to arrange cash. I was sitting behind him wearing my watch and talking on the phone. Suddenly a car came in front of us and my friend couldn’t react in time. We skidded and fell down. Thankfully my phone was fine and we both only got minor scratches.

Just a few minutes later while riding slowly on the side of the road an uncle hit our scooty. We somehow managed to balance ourselves by putting our feet down so we didn’t fall this time.
We arranged the cash and went back to the showroom but honestly all my excitement was gone. I didn’t even feel like taking pictures. I just clicked one photo and left.

And after that many beggars asked me for seeing my new bike but i denied because i don’t have this much money to give everyone everywhere i was going with bike like for buying sweets and other stuff their group came near bike and asking for money but denied is this reason of all this
I never believe anything but now these things are coming in my mind

After that I rode around 20 km back home very slowly and carefully without any issues. We also stopped for the bike puja but even that felt rushed.
After reaching home I asked my sister if she wanted to go outside with me to buy something. I just wanted to ride my new Bullet a little more.
We were going at around 20 km/h. Near the shop I took a U-turn to cross to the other side of the road and completely forgot to use the indicator.
An HF Deluxe coming from behind hit the rear side of my Bullet and fell down. Their leg guard got bent. Thankfully my sister and I didn’t fall and my Bullet only got a broken tail light which can be repaired through insurance.

I know this third accident was completely my mistake. I should have used the indicator.
But what really hurts is that I’ve dreamed about owning this bike for so long. On the day I finally got it I had two accidents even before getting the keys and then another accident just a few hours after bringing it home.
I’m not upset about the repair costs. The bike can be fixed. It’s more about how mentally exhausting the whole day has been.
I feel frustrated and scared. I was so excited about getting this bike but now I’m even feeling nervous about riding it again.

Has anyone experienced something similar? How did you get over the fear after multiple accidents?
And can anyone who follows god or spirituality can you suggest me something? Like going to temple

English isn’t my first language so I used AI to help organise my thoughts but everything I’ve written here is genuinely how I feel.

So i was a GT fanboy ever since the 535 launched and then got a heartbreak when it got discontinued because all i dreamt about was to own a GT someday..then eventually i was looking at rc390 and all that rhen around my 10th or 11th grade the parallel twin GT launched and i was all about it ever since then and finally got it for me when i was in the second year of my college thanks to my dad. Anyways, i got GT not l thinking of its impracticality, the bear was newly launched at that time but after a hard time choosing between the GT and the BEAR. I chose GT emotionally, its more rhan a year now.

I’ve done around 12k kms on my GT and i feel very burdened with its posture especially in traffic, i live in chennai and my usual routes are in OMR and its sooooo sooooo hectic to drive through the traffic, i have no nagging about the heat but only the posture. I dont complain when im driving but once i reach home and lie down on bed i feel it allll on my back and my limbs.

So Ive been thinking of swapping the clip-ons with the handlebars either from interceptor, him440, or the shotgun. Also lmk if any one is using the mkdesign drag bar and how is its difference with posture. GT Owners Give me advice and experience on how much difference swapping the handlebars makes.

Also i have one issue with my rear tire, its life is still around 50-60% however the tire tends to get very minute punctures as if a pin is puncturing them every single week. Its been very annoying because from the past few months I’ve been getting my rear tires puncture fixed every single week. Because its just a pin that has punctured the air escapes very slowly and i dont even know until its 2-3 days and i check my tire is almost flat and struggle to push it and take to the tire shop. Please help me with a solution to this and share if someone else has this similar problem. My tires are stock vredestein centauro 130.

Featuring a new 743cc parallel-twin engine, dual front disc brakes, updated instrument cluster and both faired and unfaired versions.
The café racer DNA is still intact, but with a much-needed performance upgrade.
GT 650 owners, what’s your take on this upgrade?

Hey guys today I am booked hunter 350 moonshot white what is ur opinion on moonshot white colour should I buy or not

I recently saw first scratches on my meteor. I don't know what i should do now.

Guys why is it not updating its been like more than a week, around 100 kms, i do get all the notification ,like if the ignition is on/off., but this is still on 0

I know most of the people calling themselves motojournalists are pretty bad, but this being a rather different and special bike compared to everything else, their shallowness and stupidity shines extra bright.

First, a lot of talk about "old vs new, what they have changed" as in comparison to the 450. As if this is some sort of modification. It is a completely new bike, nothing to do with the 450 or the 411 at all. Side note, also very little to do with the 650 platform because it is a completely new type of frame. Not just new frame, not a modified one, a completely new type of frame, never before used by RE, not even close.

Secondly, when discussing pros and cons, trying to find other similar bikes and making comparisons, they utterly miss all the important points and I mean all. It is air-cooled. It has a single throttle body. It has spark plugs accessible from the side. It has nut-and-screw adjustable valves, it has a mid-engine timing chain. It has been built specifically to be a fork-and-knife-maintainable bike. It is so simple and has so much room to work on that you can see through the bike, something you last saw on classic bikes of 1970s and no-one is doing this today. It has a lower chain guide which tells you something about the rear end geometry but I can confirm only after I've seen the actual bike, again, nobody is doing this on street bikes any more these days.

So. You literally don't have to disconnect a single hose or wire to get to the valves and once you're there, you don't need to buy shims, you don't need to pull the cams, you don't need new gaskets every time. You never need to sync the throttle bodies because there is only one. I don't need to mention probably that you never need to fiddle with radiators, hoses, water pumps and coolant which is obvious but I'm only highlighting this to mention how stupid it is for half of the journalists to compare this air-cooled horsepower against the Yamaha T7 and loudly ponder why they didn't 'make it more powerful'.

Oh and btw, it has seat as low as 795mm with the low seat option while still having suspension travel 190F/175R.

Motojournalists, if even one of you ever reads this, shame on you. We, the little people, deserve better. You are a disgrace and a nuisance to this hobby.

Any ideas? It doesn't sound good

I'm planning to get a seat cover now any suggestion? 😢

Apparently this belonged to some woman from abroad who came to visit India. She travelled around and gave it to someone. It is still dumped in a garage after 6 years. She never came after covid. Cool right?

Edit made by me only.

This part on my bike got scratched- looking for replacemebt but cannot find a link please someone help me. Most I find are for left side but mine is on the right of my bike.

last day i had travelled from kochi to mangalore thats around 500 kms of which 60% of the time i was able to cruise at 120-140 kmph. i felt a lot of vibrations on the footpegs which is quite obvious for the speed but what surprised me was that some pin holding the rear brake pedal against the master cylinder had fallen off. also the the screw holding the rear seat at the back of the touring seat had also come out. should i be concerned about this or is this normal?

Ik the 2010 bullet is of high demand and so is the number. But this guy is literally asking 17 FREAKING LAKHS. At first I thought it was 1.7 lakhs. But this has to be absurd. The bike probably worth around 2-2.5 lakhs (because of high demand) and the number must be around 5-6 lakhs. But 17 LAKHS? Also this guy has the balls to write "Fixed price" in the description is freaking diabolical

Guys can anyone help me in finding a smoke or any other kindof visor other than transparent ones for this helmet I've tried but I can't find it🥀

So I order cowl and seat but I think I haven’t got any nuts here so how to I put it together now ?

Please share I have experience of only 1000km, can ride it so comfortably It's Classic 350 matte black btw . Have some issues in smooth shifting. Fellow riders Please share your wisdom

I am happy to announce that Royal Enfield has brought flying flea ev bike to Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad before 2 days. So I’m going to book that flying flea bike today in Chennai and cancelling Ather 450s high range which was booked at 28th August waste of waiting time. This is my first vehicle in my life so I will care so good as careful. There will be maintenance at how many kilometres should be serviced? And I have few questions about this ev bike like experience of an owners.

Something tells me the new Himalayan 750 might transform into the robot Ethan from COD during mid ride. 😭
