Royal Enfield — Multiple times Rear Brakes failure | |||
TO WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN I own Bullet electra 350CC, bought it 4 years back from Brawn Automobiles Gurgaon, Haryana. Till 500 kms everything was smooth and nice. But during second service I faced some issue with my rear drum brakes. They used to make some squeaky sound and it used to progress the more I used to drive it. I had it checked at service centre and they said my brake shoe needs to be changed so I got it changed. The issue got sorted for few days and again the problem started. Kindly check my service details if possible. Every effing service of my bike I had either my break shoe changed, the hub, spring or somehow related to the break changed. I showed to 10 royal enfield Authorized centre in Delhi, NCR, Noida, Gurgaon, Dehradun and Rishikesh (To only the so called bullet ustads) *every mechanic remember my bikes very well because we are friends because I visit them so often And all of them have changed my break shoes and hub once (Kindly confirm it with them) Anyways few of them say that I may be riding it with my foot on the pedal or pressing it half, well what I have to say is that I’ve been riding the old bullet before this and have classic 350, a unicorn and karizma before this. Never faced such types of problem. But to keep myself at peace, I literally stopped using the rear brakes at all (used it only for emergencies) Instead of that the rear wheel has got jammed multiple times while riding. I was lucky enough to survive it. and now I ride it 20KMPH because Im scared to death. Please, please, Please, please, Please, please, Please, please, Please, please, Please, please, Please, please, Please, please, , please, , please, Please, please, Please, please, , please, Please, please, Please, please, Please, please, Please, please, Suggest me what should I do. I’m highly frustrated with this now and not in a state to get everything changed once again as I’ve spent a lot on it. I get 15000k salary and I spent 4000 on its installment and 6000 on its maintenance every month. WHY?????? Because I still love it.. Im a true royal enfield fan. Where can I go? Who shall I meet?? I have called the manager, to service inchangre, the state incharge, the helpline but no help at all. I do have all the duplicate* bills of the services which states my brake shoe/hub changed. *because Aman Automobile/Brawn Automobile in Gurgaon sells RE products at MRP and say that if we want the original bill we have to pay another 12.5% (for what reason I don’t understand?) Help me Solve it and request you to get it fixed because I’m really very very very tired, broken and dissatisfied with whatever is happening in my bike. I wish I had bought another one but can’t now, coz me not so well off to buy an another one. Also one more thing to bring into your kind notice, Not a warning but letting you know that if not… after all this if this issue doesn’t get fixed… I swear on god….. I’ll burn my bike down, will record it, will call media (I work for them) post in all the social media site and tag RE, RE groups, biker magazines and all the media. *I’m actually holding on to my tears HELP ME Shiraz Ali +91-[protected] [protected]@gmail.com Was this information helpful? | |||

I have been using TBTS 350 since an year. I face issue with rear disk brake. During service they rub pads it with polish paper, then it works well for some hours, but gets on reduces braking power thereafter.
I see disk brake is not capable of handling inertia. In emergency, engine braking doesn't suffice, and using front brakes hard is too risky. Totally disappointed with quality of RE. I was not expecting this.

I do have same issue, maximum i can run 400kms after changing the break shoe, Got frustrated with this service center guys, they even not trying to identify the issue. Every time they tel the same story. If you tell something they will simply listen and say Ok sir, we will check and they will rub the shoe and fix it again. I think someone expert need to check and identify the issue, if they find the solution, that will be very helpful for many of the RE's customer. Also they can go to local mechanics and learn from them
