Have you ever felt that the bike runs too hot / lean?
Yes, it does. Felt like my Himalayans engine, and a friend who owns the 2022 BS6 J series said the same.

Re: 2023 Royal Enfield Classic 350 | Chrome Red | The Comprehensive Review

Hi dkaile

Have you considered fixing the GMA touring foot-rests on your Classic?

The international Youtubers have rated them highly for their superior comfort on long rides, although they look really clumsy. I am tempted to get a set for my Bullet. As you have an HD as well, I am guessing you have experience using larger foot-rests / foot-boards.

Just wanted to know your thoughts. Thanks!

Stiff Suspension on bullet

Hello team..... I own a 2020 Royal Enfield Bullet 350. I weigh 100 Kgs. I have issue with the suspensions (both front and back). For the back suspension, I replaced it with the Classic 350 (old model) suspension. This I got from Royal Enfield spare part store itself. I am really not sure if it is better than before.

I definitely sure that the front suspension is terrible. Has anyone else faced and fixed this problem. Please help. The ride exp now is terrible. It is my weight or there is actually an issue.

2nd Service - 2467kms - 17-04-2025

The bike had been ridden quite less but since nearly 2 years had passed from the last service, it was time to get that done with 2467kms on the odo.

The bike on the service lift -

Oil and oil filter being removed -

The oil grade is the same as before -15W50 Semi synthetic -

1.7L of oil and the Oil Filter service kit -

The Oil Filter kit includes 2 O-rings -

SS Mesh oil filter at the drain plug was cleaned -

The Air Filter was also cleaned -

Given a thorough wash -

The Aluminium casings were getting dull and it was time for some TLC there -

2023 Royal Enfield Classic 350 | Chrome Red | The Comprehensive Review-classic-350-2nd-service-170425-2467kms_9.jpg

Both casings were thoroughly polished by this metal polish -

The Spark plug was cleaned -

Both casings now looking as good as new -

The service labour was given complimentary to me, with the owner being a friend. One of the main tasks also covered was that I got both the front and rear brake fluid changed. Sorry but forgot to take any photos of that. Still the total bill was only Rs. 1242/- (which included 250 bucks for 200ml of brake fluid). Quite reasonable I would say -

The bike looking fully refreshed even after 2 years -

Back home -

2023 Royal Enfield Classic 350 | Chrome Red | The Comprehensive Review-classic-350-2nd-service-170425-2467kms_16.jpg

This Classic 350 is truly a masterpiece and I don't mince my words having the best bikes in my garage. I would rate it even higher than the Classic 650 that they have recently launched for it's light, maneuverable and trouble free nature. A ideal bike equally at home while touring or maneuvering the small by-lanes in your city even with your Mrs. on board.

Cheers...

Own a 2022 Halcyon Green Reborn. Have completed over 61,500 kms in the last 3 years and 3 months.
It is a gem of a bike. Daily commutes, long rides, roads, no roads it can go handle it all. It's a keeper.

Your service experiences attest to the practical and budget friendly nature of the motorbike. And you put it really well at the end. I am surprised how most people, including reviewers, don't give more weightage to just this aspect of practicality. I have the Bullet 350, and it's multi-role character is impressive. Install a cloth side bag and go buy groceries every day. Put saddle bags and it turns into a lovely touring machine. Turning in tight lanes and high traffic is easy given the ideal wheelbase.

I do wish that the torque was a bit better. Passing at higher speeds requires a bit of planning. In fact, I am curious to see what they do with the second iteration of the 350 cc J-series. If they bore it out to 400 cc, it could be all that one needs.

Do you have some feedback on the seat? Do you feel the need to install a touring seat?

Re: 2023 Royal Enfield Classic 350 | Chrome Red | The Comprehensive Review

Haven't installed touring seat. Still using the stock seat. It is good enough for about 150kms at a stretch. But for really long rides like 500-600 kms one side-one day ride, I have purchased a memory foam seat from amazon. This is the link to it.https://amzn.in/d/3rK4YV6
It is from a brand called Fovera.
It really helps a lot. No more butt aches. I have been using it for the last 30,000 km approx. The quality is also really good.
