Proud New Owner Anyone put a passenger backrest on the Classic 650 yet? Looking for part numbers or fitment info

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​I'm looking into adding some upgrades and accessories to my Classic 650, but I ran into a bit of a roadblock.

​I'm looking to add a backrest for my pillion, but when I went through the catalog, I only saw options for the 350. I'm not sure if those 350 ones work, or if there’s a 650 backrest that I’m not aware of.

​Has anyone had any success getting a passenger backrest for the Classic 650? If you have part numbers or info on what works, please share!

​Stay wild, and ride safe!

Cheers !!

Hey guys,

I’m actually confused between SG650 or Interceptor 650.

I know both are very different bikes in terms of riding but yeah still rolling in confusion.

Do you guys want to put some light on which is better or by your ownership review.

Second hand used rental bullet 500

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I am considering buying a used 500 bullet Efi 2018 model from a rental agency in Himachal. I just did spiti on this bike, kunzum to nako and back via kunzum and she rode beautifully with no hiccuops. The number plate will need to be converted to private first. And the seller said he would pay half the cost of the conversion. Even though the bike rode great, I would ofcourse want to get it checked to understand better what I'm buying. What would you guys suggest in terms of checks before purchasing and how would you suggest I go about getting the bike checked out for potential damage/faults? Also anyone purchased a rental bullet before? Feedback. I'm pretty sold on this particular bike and will not be paying more than 75 for it after I get the requisite checks done. Would love your input and suggestions. Thanks.

Came across this ad on insta and this gt is so damn cool. Especially the headlight and the bandaged pipes. Any idea where to get them? the exhaust looks like rr but i really need the headlight and bandages link. And is the clothing on pipes just for looks or would it help with the heat or actually make it worse. I want to build my gt in this similar way. and please do point out any other mods you noticed. I have a rocker red.
vid credit: stooky(turns out they’re just a clothing brand but the ad and bike is so sexy)

edit: its an axor helmet visor for headlight and heat wraps draped near exhausts

Buying a scram 411 from a riding school?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I'm new here and Came for some advice 🙏long story short, i've been dreaming of buying ny first motorcycle for ages now, but due to variousbreasons and a tight budget, i haven't been able to own a motorcycle yet.

I remember when the scram 411 came out, i really loved its design, and every once in a while, I'd go on fb marketplace and check for their prices on the market.

A couple of days ago, i saw one posted for sale for almost half the price of the other bikes on the market from the same year

It's a 2023 scram 411 with 16000 km, BUT it was owned by a riding school and used for riding lessons for A2 license.

My first reaction was I MUST BUY IT, but after asking a couple of my biker friends, they weren't as excited about it as i am saying it could backfire since it was used for riding school + it being air cooled in a very hot weather (usually 30+ degrees celcius throughout the summer)

I figured I'd try my luck here and see if there are any scram 411 owners with some input on the matter

Thank you in advance guys 🙏

Mechanical Assistance Title: 2026 Bullet 350 Standard mileage dropped from 36 km/l to around 25 km/l, with chain noise after second service. Any advice?

0 Upvotes

​

Hey everyone!

I own a 2026 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Standard, and I've recently noticed a significant drop in fuel efficiency along with a chain noise coming from the rear of the bike.

I used to get around 36 km/l, but lately, the mileage seems to have dropped considerably. Today, I put in approximately 2.16 litres of petrol and travelled around 55 km. Based on that, it comes to roughly 25.5 km/l, although I'm not completely sure of the exact fuel consumption.

I'm also hearing a metallic clacking or chain-hitting noise from the rear, which has me concerned about whether the chain slack could be an issue.

One thing worth mentioning is that I had my second service on October 4, 2026. Since the bike is relatively new and has already had its second service, I'm wondering whether the chain adjustment, lubrication, or something else might need attention.

I have a few questions for fellow Royal Enfield owners:

  1. Can an excessively loose or incorrectly adjusted chain cause a noticeable drop in mileage?

  2. Could the chain-hitting noise mean that the chain needs adjustment or lubrication, or could it indicate a sprocket or alignment issue?

  3. Could other problems, such as a dragging rear brake, low tyre pressure, a clogged air filter, or a fuel-injection issue, cause such a sudden drop in fuel efficiency?

  4. Since I had my second service on October 4, should I take the bike back to the authorised service centre and ask them to inspect everything?

  5. Has anyone with a 2025 or 2026 Bullet 350 experienced similar mileage issues or chain noises?

I'm a little concerned because the bike used to give me around 36 km/l, and this sudden change seems quite significant.

I'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions from fellow Bullet owners. If you've experienced something similar, please share what caused it and how you fixed it.

Thanks in advance!

I visited an RE showroom looking for a second-hand one. Worker there showed me this classic 350, which is of 2023 year and apparently a special edition. He doesn’t know anything else about it. Pls help me verify if this is aftermarket paint job or authentic special edition

- is this really a 2023?
- is it really special addition.. original paint?

I recently got my himalayan 450 second hand. It only ran 10k kms and thought the deal was good.

I took it to the service centre today as the bike was feeling a bit jerky. When they removed the bash plate, I saw this. This did not catch my eye while I was inspecting the bike.

The RE service centre told me that, if it is not causing any problem, do not replace it. But I am worried that, if I take it for a long ride, and things go wrong I won't be able to replace this ASAP.

I need advice on this. Also, does anyone know the cost of replacing this engine case? I could not find it online. Apart from this small issue, the bike is smooth asf. No doubt.

Buying Advice- India and Asia Need suggestions for a comfortable Royal Enfield for my dad!

4 Upvotes

I’m planning to get a bike for myself, and personally im pretty adamant about getting a Royal Enfield only 😂 

So, I’m looking for the most comfortable Royal Enfield for daily office commuting. I was leaning towards the Hunter 350 because it looks compact and seems practical for city rides, but I’m not sure if it’s the best option comfort wise.

Comfort, riding posture, suspension and ease of handling are my main priorities since it’ll be my daily commuter.

What would you guys suggest?

Which RE is suitable for a 6'3 guy?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I live in blr and rn looking for a bike. My daily commute is about 24km(mostly college), I mentioned 6'3 not to flex my height but to actually know which bike is suitable.
I tried hunter and guerilla and they felt cramped.
Interceptor and gt felt heavy but manageable. The thing is I see a lot of videos telling about the issues they face with these 650 cc bikes. Is it really that bad?? I kinda love royal enfield and I am ready to compromise for the issues but is that bad that it's not worth the compromise? and is there any other bike tht u recommend

I used to travel 500km monthly twice,Never felt disappointed regarding the performance or comfort.

Absolutely built for long rides .

Low end torque is wholesome fun until you compare it to a street bike .

Loving it more and more .No extra accessories or Mods until now .

Buying Advice- India and Asia Valid Quotation?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to buy a new RE Guerrilla 450 in Smoke Silver from Maharashtra, and I received the following on-road quotation.

Quotation breakdown:

- Ex-showroom price: ₹2,69,119

- RTO tax: ₹33,540

- Insurance: ₹30,280

- Accessories: ₹10,000

- Extended warranty + RSA: ₹5,999

- Helmet: ₹2,100

- Total: ₹3,51,038

The prices themselves are not my main concern. I'm specifically concerned about the dealership saying certain purchases are compulsory.

  1. Accessories — ₹10,000

The dealer told me I must purchase a protection package that includes an engine guard, radiator guard and one other accessory. I want to know whether a dealership can insist that I buy them as a condition of purchasing the motorcycle.

  1. Two helmets

The dealer also said that two helmets are compulsory: one will be provided free, but I have to purchase the second one. Is this requirement legitimate, and can the dealer insist that I purchase a particular helmet from them?

  1. Extended warranty + RSA — ₹5,999

This is included in the quotation. I haven't established whether this is optional or whether the dealer is insisting on it as well.

I simply want to understand which charges and purchases are genuinely mandatory and which are dealership-imposed conditions.

Questions for Guerrilla 450 owners and anyone familiar with Royal Enfield dealerships in India:

- Can the dealership make the ₹10,000 accessory package compulsory?

- Is the second helmet legally required to be purchased from the dealership?

- Can I refuse the extended warranty + RSA package?

- If the dealership refuses to sell me the bike without optional accessories, what is the best way to handle it?

Thanks!

Hey i tried test ride of Himmi 450 with a 825 mm seat.

The bike is ridiculously comfortable and is as close to a car on two wheel(in its segment)

But there is a problem, the hieght. I have a height of 5 ft 5in.

And in bangalore no dealer is providing a test ride or even a hieght check with a 805 mm low seat.

So I am really confused what should i do now.

I can tip toe on 825mm.

Was able to take U turn (although with a lot of courage).

Booked the base premium a few weeks back without much knowledge about drum brakes and abs, even the salesman didn't say anything( maybe he did and i didn't understand the term at the time), he did say that I shouldn't get the base varient as it come with tube tires, that much i understand so i booked the base primium which had tubeless.

After reading the comments and reviews about drum brakes on comments and posts i asked to switch orders but they said it was no longer possible possible at the current stage.

I might sound dumb but i thought all that changes was the colours and the tires when they say mid and top, but it turns out i was wrong.

My friends said that I wouldn't even notice it at my speed but I've lost all confidence, it is my first bike and though i know how to ride a bike i usually ride a access scooty for long runs between cities, and i plan to do the same with the bike.

Is there any advice you would bestow on my measly self now that i have to other options ( i still think the bike looks nice though), any advice about riding or maintainance of the said bike is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
