Royal Enfield Engine Heat

[@mayukhbari]

RE: We make our loyal customers suffer from this ancient problem but we don't change it.

[@bigbearbangalore]

I understand and respect what you are saying but it's not a problem with the engine or design. It's a characteristic of a big air cooled engine. If ones does not like the heat then may be a smaller CC will be better for them. Regards.

[@mayukhbari]

@@bigbearbangalore Aren't we way ahead of big air cooled engine era? RE is just adamant about redesigning the whole engine ground up. Last big change was ohv to ohc. Somewhere in the past they forgot that modern norms don't allow bikes to run for 50 years. Thus few of my biker friends are carrying super hot dead weight for the passion.

[@shivanxh8491]

​@@mayukhbariwould be affordable if it was liquid cooled ??

[@mayukhbari]

@@shivanxh8491 That is upto RE. Engine will be lighter too and metal does cost good. So a little fuel efficient engine to mitigate initial cost.

[@bigbearbangalore]

It's a choice. Personally I have no dislike towards air cooled engines. They are simpler and cheaper than water cooled engines. Besides, liquid cooling is coming to RE soon.

[@Mr.Engine21]

It is a matter of choice and the choice you make completely should be only yours. You might get the liquid cooled engine from KTM , smoother engine from CB Highness 350 and TVS Ronin but they don't carry a legacy from 1898 to this date. Stop saying that Royal Enfield doesn't care about customers or they don't solve the heating problem. It is not a problem guys, it is a characteristic that the bike carries. No military man is forced to join the army. But once he gets selected there is no looking back. Same goes for the Royal Enfield. Once you own one there is no doubt you're satisfied with only one. Much love from Gujarat uncle❤

[@binubalan8804]

True, I had classic 350 UC engine, now baught classic reborn with J series. The new J series radiates more heat than the old UC. I spoke to several other customers as well as service centers, and checked their vehicles what I found is that it is not a fault or overheat it is how the engine works, So yah pls accept and enjoy the ride ❤😊

[@adityavikram2825]

The way you said " Accept it " hahahaha... Few will understand why you said that.!

[@bigbearbangalore]

🙏

[@prabhjotsingh-fe2ij]

The issue is the heat causes too much friction and sidden drop in smoothness of engine. You csn feel the vibrations increasing as the distance increases on hot days. The effect starts after 20-25km . I guess the engine oil looses its property and reduces ita thickness. Like 15W50 used in RE. But the temperature itself reaces to 45+ . And when long ride comes i cannot think of viscosity change oul has to bear due to temperature.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Air cooled engines of this capacity do exhibit this characteristic. Using a fully synthetic oil can help minimise this heat a little.

[@prabhjotsingh-fe2ij]

@@bigbearbangalore the believe bthe default liquid gun oil of RE is fully synthetic ?

[@akshadbawa9778]

Having a harley i can confirm that nothing beats it in terms of heat and the power to cook some legs

[@bigbearbangalore]

Oh yes! I've had one and I know that feeling.

[@twowheeledparadox]

While you are correct, there is an exception. If the engine is overheating then it is a problem. The rider needs to know how much heat is normal and in what conditions. For example, the local service centre over-tightened the tappets on my Interceptor. This led to a great amount of heat generation from the whole engine along with loss of compression from the right side cylinder.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Yes ok. If there is a concern then one can take it to the workshop for inspection.

[@twowheeledparadox]

@@bigbearbangalore Indeed. But the rider needs to identify it. A lot of new riders say that some bikes have a "heating issue" when it's really not. It's just that they have an issue with heat, not the engine. That's what you have addressed and I am glad you have.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Happy to help

[@kristophoercollins1317]

Hii Bosky, recommend a better engine oil for hunter 350. The feel of the engine with the Liquid gun engine oil is not good. For first 3-4 kms of riding the bike it feels smooth after that there is a kind of vibration(not actually vibration) that I can feel. Also the sound of the engine changes when the oil heats up I believe. The engine produces a rattle sound after 3-4kms of riding it.

[@bigbearbangalore]

I recommend fully synthetic 10w-50 Silkolene. However this may void warranty so you'll need to find a workaround. 👍

[@kristophoercollins1317]

@@bigbearbangalore I was sad when I asked about it during my bike service. They said it will void the warranty when aftermarket engine oil is used. But how would they know if the oil gets darker/burnt after few thousand kms of usage.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Some riders whom I know use RE oil from dealership for 3,000 kms and change oil outside and use this fully synthetic for 7,000 kms and go back for next service as per schedule which is once a year or 10,000 kms.

All bikes engines are actually air cooled... directly or indirectly so there is no problem with only air cooled engines..

Air cooled engine heating is somewhat manageable but tht fan noise from liquid cooled ones are the worst...... irritates alot and theres always the fear of coolant spilling out........

[@bigbearbangalore]

Yes. Depends on the design. Some fans are loud and some blow the hot air directly onto the rider's legs.

[@badbolaladka]

and even if the heating is a issue for the air cooled engine, their is a thing called kill switch near the accelerator 👀

@sensocaredelhi2292 it's there is all cars too! Just that we don't hear it or feel it. Thats part of the design of all engines. They need air flow to keep the temp in check.

[@rizwankhan-df7sy]

Once a person just purchased a classic 350 and was on quite a long ride. Then on his way he stopped his bike and went to the temple and by the time he came out, his classic 350 just bursted and was into flames. This came in news as well. I think this happened in some south side. Can anybody assume the reason? But still how can this even happen?

[@bigbearbangalore]

Unfortunate. Anything can happen under a set of circumstances. From an electrical short to leaking petrol.

[@kaushikn6668]

With a free flow exhaust and a free flow airfilter, the bike runs a lean ATF ratio. Leaner the ATF more the heat, eventually the valves will get fryed. Consider getting a tune or a fuel commander to solve this problem. Or you can add a calculated valve of resistance to the O2S in parallel to trick the ECU for higher value of resistance to rich the ATF perhaps this won't be dynamic ATF wont be that accurate.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Ok

[@khalidali9444]

But that's the worry , one of my friends had a royal Enfield classic 500 and he got ulcers in his stomach due to excessive heat on a summer day.
