Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic Motorcycle Review

This is a review of the Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic motorcycle. The Royal Enfield Bullet is a great motorcycle, and it is easy to maintain and fairly reliable if you use it within its limits. Keep it under 65 mph and check fluids and tolerances often, and it will run forever. In this video I talk about my Royal Enfield Bullet 500 motorcycle, how it works, and what it's like to ride and own.

You should paint blood on the front registration plate, im suprised they re still legal in parts of amerca

[hoohoohoblin]

@theamazinbagman I'm not sure if they're legal or not. It's an aftermarket add-on the previous owner installed to make it look more British.

Have you tried one of the new EFi model? i've got one of them, a 2010 (got it in april 2011) DLX modified (the new exhaust is horrible and i've got a new 2seats), it's my first motorcycle :)

Really love all your vids ^^

@FlowHowler Thanks! I haven't taken an EFI model for a ride yet, but they look great, and I hear they're more reliable and have a higher top speed.

@hoohoohoblin well when you run into a pedestrian with one of them on it used chop their legs off :) so i dont think they re road legal in britain anymore

What year is your Bullet 500,and is it a UK made model ?

[hoohoohoblin]

@Drobium77 Mine leaks too, but with the loud muffler, I don't notice any extra noise. When the bike was wet sumped, some oil came out of the head where the pipe connects, so I know it isn't a tight seal. Enfield designed the pipe to pressure fit into the head and be held on by the bolts that secure the lower part of the exhaust pipe and muffler to the frame. I don't know how else to seal it. Nfieldgear sells heat sink rings for the pipe, but they are for looks rather than sealing.

Great videos matey!

Can I ask a question about your exhaust?

On my enfield classic, the exhaust header pipe fits directly into the cylinder with not collet.

Sometimes the thing vibrates free and I've never been able to seal the thing properly so it doesn't blow a little.

Have you had the same problem and if so, how have you managed to seal the headder?

I only ask coz yours goes straight iinto the head too.
