Guess what was showcased by Royal Enfield at EICMA? Im surprised none of the media outlets have picked up on this.

How can the media channels have forgotten this? They are showing panigale V4s instead of this people who are into offroading would gladly pick this up instead of ktm 390 adventure bike

Fork gaiters are only of 850₹ and that's a lot cheaper than fork seal repairs, if by any chance they prolong the life of fork seals then it's money well spend! And as mentioned earlier get the seat done from outside instead of the touring seat. And if you are getting the windscreen just for aesthetics then it's fine otherwise it's of no use. Welcome to the club, you'll have ton of fun

Man, that looks dope!

I think RE should at least think about bringing this one as a limited edition. Looks a million bucks.

Ride Safe,

Definitely getting the fork gaiters then.
Is the windscreen that useless? Even the tall one?
Also, Thanks!

I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping RE to not get complacent and keep up the good job they're doing with 650 after-sale support and attention to each users individual issues.

PDI done. All looks well.


Added 4 accessories to the order:
1. Engine guard.
2. Sump guard.
3. Fork Gaiters.
4. While mostly ornamental, The tall windscreen.


Getting it delivered tomorrow

My Motorcycle is currently covered up and stored away as I am away on work. I couldn't help but post a pic of her . The last time I had to leave the motorcycle idle , i removed the main 30A Fuse . This was told to me by the dealership instead of disconnecting the battery and so far itseems to work. I started her up after a gap of 35 days and she cranked up on the first go.

That is pretty handy.


Also, sorry for potentially re-asking this: Where did you get the tank pads from?

How long is the bike idle? If it's for a month or so why is the battery to be disconnected?

Every alternate month , its idle for 35 days at a stretch. I saw some DIY videos from RE and they mentioned the same thing. If your bike is idle for 20 days or so , take off the main fuse. This will slow the battery discharge considerably and itseems to be working.

Bike has a earthing which passes through the stand to ground. Very little battery is used but the battery keeps discharging. To avoid dead battery removing the fuse or disconnecting the terminals is advised.

Thanks for the explanation,it makes absolute sense. Removing the main fuse is a lot easier than disconnecting the battery

Is this effect pronounced is some bikes compared to others? For eg my R15 has started in a single crank after being idle for almost two months. While I have read about batteries draining out in RE bikes which have been idle for a while.

This usually depends on the voltage the battery is at. Most of the bikes require voltage between 12-13 to start. The voltage of bulbs used are also the cause in some cases, that's why many prefer switching to LEDs. Also there are owners who use after market stuff on bikes, with this the charge holding capacity of the battery diminishes with time. Also the charge required to start a small engine bike vs a large capacity will be different.

I might be wrong, experts might shed light on this.

[keshav1426]

Yes your right , the headlight always being on is the main source of battery usage. Add to that the amount of charge battery requires to start the engine. All this combined might cause problems especially if the motorcycle is sitting around for a month. I expect 1%-3% battery drain on a daily basis .So over time , it isn't enough to do its job . Probably the reason why removing the fuse is a good idea. On top of all this , some people install aftermarket lights, mobile chargers etc.
