Got an 2005 500 model w kickstart. Works fine. They oil leaks are a problem when the "buyer" fails to empty the residual oil collector. Surely, for such "buyers" there are many other alternatives such automatic shift scooters. And guess what, they offer them in pink color for people like jeenat and hakaabakaa. My bike doesn't leave any leaks 6 years now. The only problem? People asking the model and how is it treated so well in my way to work and back. 5 people a day...
I had a bullet once , nice bikes, treat em right they go great, I got a hinkley triumph bonnie now , bit more power, nice and retro. still like Enfields though.
REML why ur publishing this bogus what a bad finishing of crankcase,defective timing pinion, clutch steel plates,ot lined chain stay what about defective self starter layout &AVL engine?we have to earn our money by hard working not by selling defective bikes like REML guys7remember lots of qualified automotive technicians r there outside of your factory ,royal enfield motors a company which produces high ranking defective bikes in the world ,
I hope the oil leaks which are so typical of Enfields, stop with advancement in technology so claimed in this video...?Two things are sure with Enfield owners,1. Dirty hands, 2. Being friends with a local bike mechanic....
BTW There are assured gifts on purchasing Castrol oil for cars and bikes that the dealers may not inform you about so remember to collect them at the time of purchase. Please tell all your friends to collect the same :) Also the scratch card on every promotion pack will make you eligible for a trip to South Africa if you win the lucky draw. Cheers :)
@CycleGuy34 - Hey cycle guy. Oil leaks, service and many more expensive things are inevitable when u own a royal enfield. This is not just like u have another bike and treat it the same way. Handle her delicate and she will give u a rugged perfomance!! I own a 1987 enfield bullet. It is my dad's and he presented it to me on my 21st B'day.
@CycleGuy34 -A Bullet is not a Honda...take care of it,and it will take care of you...beat it like a rented mule,and you'll walk...I love all three of mine,and ride them every day...and I've never had to walk home...
This repair has cost me over $A1000 in parts. Because I can't afford to have all the work done by a mechanic I have to do it myself. I am competent to do it, it's just that I am terribly slow because I am continually checking & re-checking.
One consolation is that when it is finished I will have a machine that will hopefully give me many years of trouble free riding. They are a great bike to ride, a lot of fun and attract a huge amount of attention.
If you seek poor build quality and reliability that it is hard to match then look no further!!! I owned a 2005 Enfield Bullet and it was the biggest piece of crap that you could ever dream of riding, I mean pushing!!!! Loud valves may save lives but pushing a Enfield will give you a heart attack so male sure to see you doctor to be medically cleared for strenuous activity!!!! Good luck and happy pushing!!!!
Bunbury, chances are if the bike you have has more than 10000km on it, then all will be OK. Most Enfields are fine many are not. Mine had 8 faults built into it during assembly in India. At 54kms the barrel & fuel tank was replaced under warranty.5 more probs arose over time until finally half way through a 2000km trip the bigend blew@ 23000km. When it was pulled down a timing gear thrust washer left in the timing case during assembly caused the pump shaft to fail & then the bigend to blew.
Please do not change the vintage spirit from the basic design.
It is perfect !!
We the custumers can see the pride and and workmanship in all Royal Enfeild
product line.
A Grateful soon to bee Enfeild rider.
शुक्रिया

Wish they could keep the gearshift lever on the right side (as it was designed) for the US models.
