Try this: 1st gear - up to 15kmph 2nd gear - up to 30 kmph 3rd gear - up to 45 kmph 4th gear - up to 60 kmph 5th gear - 61 kmph onwards Maintain the speed of 60 for 350 cc and for 500, do maintain the speed of 65-70 kmph. Currently, I am riding a 500 cc. Current avg is of 40 kmpl #TryThis

[@zainulabdeen5399]

seriously 40??i just bought 500 and i cant belive you got that much mileage

[@TheUmdaChannel]

yes zain, I know it's hard to believe, but my route has no signals and it's an expressway so I ride hassle free. I never cross the speed limit of 70 kmph. #HappyThumping

[@bollytolly9]

My 350cc classic gives 50 avg i drive between 60-80 kmph in 5 th gear

[@manojpaul1379]

I have Thunderbird 350 shall we shift the 5 th gear at 45 or 50 km... Or else we have to shift to 5 th gear only at the speed of 55km

[@kamleshdhundhundhun3161]

Mine doesn't go above 60 in fifth gear .what should I do?

[@BulletCoupleJoelLadakh]

Amazing. Thank you so much. Your reviews are lovely. Im a professional photographer (Chennai based). Im getting Royal Enfield standard 350 coming week. Fingers crossed to have a ride.

[@jitendrakumarsahoo5227]

Shifting to 5th gear should be at 60+

[@ashutoshrana1335]

JITENDRA KUMAR SAHOO pagal bana raha hai sala tuh sahi keh raha hai

[@alionwheels2796]

Yes, that way is also correct. Thank you.

[@NikRebello]

[@sarathkumarp5078]

Is there any difference of speed bw classic 350 and standared 350 ? If there., can you tell me why ?

[@9847380418]

i have electra 350, after 60 km can only shift to 5th gear, otherways getting more noise from chain, i want to know standard has 2kg heavy crak than others, what benefit will get by heavy crank, and standard can run in 5th gaear @40-45 km without diifficulties

[@vettimachi]

Thank you for your nice tips.

[@ndm3755]

Planning to buy a RE bullet ES could you suggest ?

[@arunammasi6473]

Lot of people say not to drive new bike more than 60 or 70 km/hr. When it's brand new or before 2 nd service not so u can drive up to 80 km but thing here s u should not throttle suddenly by downshift . Hope it 'll be useful enjoy ur ride

[@nikhilmore5406]

[@SirajudeenTheLampofIslam]

Thanks for your suggestions. Bro, what do u think about to change the silencer. Coz I would like to change the same.

[@alionwheels2796]

I haven't changed the silencer till now, So, I can't suggest.

[@nithinp4830]

superb video

[@alionwheels2796]

Thank you.

[@raghavvijaykumar5168]

I own bullet std 350. If I go beyond 60kmph it starts to struggle and there is engine noise and I'm not able to hear the thump. If I want my ride to be smooth till 80kmph what should be done.

[@tejasnaik235]

bro I have purchased new bullet and 1 st day itself I had gone for ride and I donno how but after traveling 60 kms bike got stop then after 2 min it got started , ammeter had gone in red side little part okk , what problemay be , my speed was above 80 kmhr

[@dineshpamulapati7427]

I like that gear changing point

[@nazeer316]

Nice info tx

[@aalennn1]

i like how they kept it simple...the gear shifts should be proper and the speed limit for each gear.simple but effective.

[@alionwheels2796]

+alenn mosses agree

[@sher6935]

I live in Uttrakhand so it's a different terrain here at every 50 meters ups and downs .. when my bike was brand new i went for a 40 km ride to feel the gear shiftingand learning the proper wayfor changing gears if i was on 40 i shifted to 4 th but what happened was my bike would stop suddenly throttlethrottle would not respond and the bike would stop and start again after 5 minutes it happened 3-4 times because i was following the directions for gear changing in manual i was confused why is this happening or if something has broken.... But after i came back i thought about it for some time and i realised if the terrain changes from slope to climb or straightroad to climb u can't stay at 4 th gear and ride at 40 u be to be above 50km/HR or the throttle won't give power.. therefore i started following this whenever it's a climb iam at 3rd with 40-50 km/grand to go on 4th i be to increase the speed which i can only do either on a slopeor a straight road not on a climb.

[@sher6935]

What i mean is these directions are only for same terrain roads like cities and plains not for mountain roads i guess.. i might be wrong also.

[@alionwheels2796]

You're 100% correct Bro. When you are climbing, you have to change your gears late and in plains follow the manual. Thank you, I appreciate your comment.

[@sher6935]

thank you

[@gokulR5995]

Motorcycle Traveller what is max speed of old model royal Enfield 1990s classic 350.?

[@pahadiMandyal]

U r right ...same problem I am from himachal ...if I put 4 th gear it's going to close 1 or two tym I'm. ..going to follow down. ..then imm always riding in 3rd gear 40 50 ...some tym 60 .....if u go higher gear then u have to need shift gear every turn...it's happen

[@arjunan-cn7ve]

Which is the best custom exhaust for bullet 350?

[@trishulkumar7153]

How did you put self start for this bike. should we change the battery

[@alionwheels2796]

There is no self start in my bike. You would need to consult a mechanic.

[@sushanthombal6666]

Good one, I have two months old TB 350. I want to attach a wind shield of Himalayan, does it effect the warranty of the bike. Let me know if you have any idea.

[@santoshrajagopalan616]

Really good info. well explained. One thing I felt that was missing here was the impact of change in silencer on the engine. what do we need to consider before we change the silencer from stock to say Red Rooster? I have read elsewhere that the ECU or something is mapped to the stock silencer and any change in the silencer requires a re-map. otherwise engine performance gets impacted negatively in the long run. need a detailed explanation on this aspect. Hope you can cover this aspect in your upcoming videos... thanks a lot!

[@alionwheels2796]

I am not the right person to talk about the silencers, so I would suggest you to consult it with the expert.

[@shyamraja4204]

Which silencer is best for royal enfield without harm to engine and mileage drop

[@kd5172]

Can i ride my new stealth black in hills before reaching 100 kilometres ..???...if not then when i have to ???

[@bharalee]

hi one query, racing the engine at the very beginning is good?

[@alionwheels2796]

once the engine has started, then you can give some race.

[@mrjatt4591]

Old bullet 2008 kitne KM continues long drive par chlana chahiye engine seiz na ho or na heat limit speed kitni karni chahiye long drive pe,,, mera friend delhi se Punjab speed pe aya tha or engine seiz hogya tha yeh kyu

[@anuragparihar820]

[@SKatMH]

In my royal Enfield battery is not working so I can't able to start the bike anyother way to start the bike

[@ALLINONE-uh4qp]

thank you for good suggestion

[@alionwheels2796]

You're welcome.

[@bhuvankalra1874]

standard have heavy crank.. u can put 5th gear at 40kmph in standard.. but classic or tb will strt vibrating at such a low speed on 5th gear but not standard.. this is the reason ppl buy standard over other re models! 😊👌

[@yadavym2455]

[@alionwheels2796]

:)

[@SKELMN]

[@rahulkale398]

Hi Ali. . I m ur new fan from mumbai. Rahul. Just saw ur videos. Ur all videos stuck me on place. Now i am 40+.stil inspired from u i m planning for leh ladakh on my RE. Got almost all tips from ur videos. Thanks for it. Just want to ask abt puncture selent for tubes. Is it effective on long rides. Pls guide me as u can. Thanks a lot Ali

[@alionwheels2796]

I don't use a tubeless tire Bro. However according to the majority of people, tubeless works well for long ride. Thank you so much for your support.

[@3EMW_Entertainment]

Hello MT... just now I subscribed your channel... I have a doubt on fuel tap... if I kept knob in Reserve position and filled 6 liters petrol and I just left knob in reserve position only NOT in "MAIN ON". So is getting any problem like petrol will consume more if I kept knob in reserve position after filling 6 litters petrol ...??? (OR) Petrol will consume as usual like in MAIN ON condition.... please clear my doubt...

[@alionwheels2796]

+Karthik Sandiri when you have less than 4 litres of petrol than you can put it reserve ..... yes I think that in reserve it will consume more petrol, however you should confirm this in the service center because I could be wrong.

[@jeyamsp]

bro .. where can i get that round metal cover in headlight and that grip at back of seat ... any online link?

[@alionwheels2796]

+Jeyam sp I dont know online it is available or not..... But I got it from Karol Bagh

[@jeyamsp]

Motorcycle Traveller : bro , one more doubt .. i have booked std 350 ...the rear tyre looks very slim.. should i change my rear tyre to 3.5 x19 .. will it fit in the same rim?? and is the stock rear tyre comfortable nd grippy?

[@karannair9241]

Hello Ali ! I bought a brand new RE Bullet 350..it's just been a week and I rode till 260KM .. Will it effect the engine's health ? And can you please tell me how many KM should I cover before the first service ?

[@vpsuriya6531]

This video is very very useful. thanks for it.....i want to know about the exhausts. Will a change in the exhaust affect the mileage of bullet 350? I'll be happy to get a reply soon bro.

[@senthilkumarpandiyan5861]

Also Please add these in your video to make the best video for maintenance. Make sure 4 things before start the bullet (1, Petrol Unlock, 2. NO Accelerator, 3, Check the chock, 4, AMP)

[@sv3773]

Most of RE riders recommending oils by MOTUL.(the first one being the best, and also the costliest),especially Motul 7100.Thanks.

[@alionwheels2796]

Yes, it is the best.

[@sv3773]

plz make a video about maintaining Old engine bullet...

[@BharatGyanee]

Well said bro

[@alionwheels2796]

Thank you.

[@koushikbanerjee7134]

thanks sir

[@asebisebianto9977]

hi bro Why did u choose standard 350

[@deepakgowdak531]

Thank you bro, for giving us info about engine maintenance, but one suggestion plz don't drag the video by repeating the same information again and again. Thank you

[@anandhakrishnan9970]

Is there any problems with the engine

[@hassanravuther5819]

After we've crossed the 5th gear... And when we have to slow down... At what speed should we down the gear?

[@selvasudhan6515]

Do we need to warm every time you take or only on the first time of a day.

[@alionwheels2796]

+Selva Sudhan on the first time of the day

[@aftabdiwan3805]

helpful video. plz make video for maintaining colour of bike

[@alionwheels2796]

+Aftab Diwan Thank you. Sure I'll consider that topic.

[@chetangarwe8556]

I am planning to purchase a bullets 350 standard but I am little bit confused between Electra or standard model...plz help me out

[@alionwheels2796]

Both are good Bro..... It is completely your choice. With Standard you get heavy crank and with Electra you'll get disc breaks and self starts.

[@muralikrishnan5178]

brother, can i go for a long ride in a brand new enfield. do i have to wait for the vehicle to cross any minimum requirement of distance travelled before i go for a long ride

[@antonyniresh2222]

@ Murali Krishnan .. Just wait for the 1st service...

[@aswinkanakarajan3785]

Which will be best for RE ,Teflon coating or ceramic coating.IS there any disadvantage for both

[@alionwheels2796]

+Aswin Kanakarajan I just use wax bro .... for coating please consult the service center.

[@siddharthkamble5586]

Make a video on starting a cold bullet in winter morning. And about it's maintainence cost.

[@sarathkumarp5078]

What is the maximum speed of Bullet Standared 350.. ?

[@bishubkantiseal]

Another thing i want to say that while cold start we should not accelarate bt we should use the chock in carborated engine

[@Kamalrag]

brother add a video about standard 350 front disc and back tyres modified and also confirm will the mileage ill reduce if I change the standard 350 back tyre in to classic back tyres size. because I need STD 350 with bulk tyres

[@alionwheels2796]

Yes, it should effect the mileage slightly. But I am not sure how, because I haven't changed the tyres.

[@roadstuffstyle6999]

Hi dude!! just a question,the engine oil you use is mineral or synthetic?

[@alionwheels2796]

synthetic

[@bobburns5856]

Do not use synthetic during 2000 KM break in period. Only petroleum based oil. Synthetic is fine AFTER break in only.

[@rajrajak4555]

ali bhai i want to buy RE thunder bird350....but i am confused between thunder bird and classic 350...i will be thank full if you give me suggetion...plsss reply must...!

[@alionwheels2796]

+Raj Rajak Thunderbird is better for touring

[@karthikm9088]

i have 1999 std how about in this model

[@mayurmadhuraj1598]

Could you please make a video on engine braking and rev matching? :)

[@musclegrip]

2.8 engine oil is required for bullet ok ... but how much engine oil is required for royal Enfield classic 350???

[@durgaprasannakumar5612]

Bro can suggest me how to maintain d disc brakes of RE...

[@mukeshtripathi4750]

bro i am planning to buy the same bike but i have confusion should i go bullet 350 or bullet Electra 350 please suggest me. what about the current Tyre it is reliable for long drive or not. because i am using Yamaha FZ 2.0 and it have broad Tyre best grip even bike is on 60 angle. I taken test drive of all model and found bullet350 or Electra 350 is best what is your suggestion. Thanks for reply

[@alionwheels2796]

Bullet 350 is better than Electra. If you want a better grip than you can get the tyres changed.

[@mukeshtripathi4750]

Thank you so much bhai!. most of the blogs are saying quick break if you want without disk break it's disappointed. as you rider and using the same bike Please let me know what is your experience. As i see in your Videos you did,t make any modification on your bike till date that was a great feeling and get good feeling to blindly go for it. I am not a racer don't require high speed but yes 80-90 is my best riding speed. I ride a journey from Gorakhpur(UP) to Vadodara(GUj) 2350KMS using my brother Yamaha FZ2.0. but now want my own bike and watched all you-tube videos on Enfield but your video make me confidence to go for it. Thanks again for the reply. Please suggest me best. Thanks!

[@mukeshtripathi4750]

and sorry for the poor English :)

[@debapriyo47]

[@sudhan152]

[@senthilkumarpandiyan5861]

please add one small thing, everyday before you kick the bike - please release chock and lock it again after start the vehicle
