Royal Enfield Complaints & Reviews

I bought the tbt 350cc, lightning gold on 27th march'2016 from sangam autos, a-23/6, 1st floor, site-iv, link road near mohan nagar flyover, sahibabad-ghaziabad, u. p.

From day 1 when bike was handed over, the battery indicator was blinking & handle was bent to left side then i complaint this on 1st service & the issue was resolved i. e odometer & handle was replaced after so much argument done with the agency supervisor.

After 1st service & one or two days after the service i found that the mud guard paint was peel off from right front side. i requested to the service supervisor & shown them to verify & trying to either change the mud guard or repair that but he refused & replied me that this is not the defect on the part this comes when some one hits or manually peel the paint with some metal. now here my point is that means the re paint quality is very poor if the paint was peeled off, my bike is single handed drive vehicle so it is impossible for me to hit or making scratch on bike on which i have spent my whole hard earned money.

Second thing which i found is the engine noise. the engine sound is not like a real bullet sound, there is so much noise in engine in which i feel that the tappet or something will hit in engine which was mix with the engine sound & create the tik - tik noise continuously.

I clean my bike everyday but i don't found the chhan - chhan noise which comes from the front side of the bike which looks like some screw is loose.

When i bought this bike i feel that i have spent my hard money in some very good product but after going to the service station my moral got down & think that this is the worst company on which i've spent my hard earned money.
Now i am going for 3rd service on 23rd july'2016.

I wanted to re officials to give positive response & replace the mud guard & clear my queries which come within 3 months

Sir,
I purchased a classic 350 from Kays auto in Gt karnal road around a month ago, and hardly in 15-20 days i could see a wear and tear in seat of my bike and i have hardly used it,
This seems to be a defected seat because we dont expect such a poor quality from a brand like ROYAL ENFIELD
And there are other few parts on which i can see rust and there is a iron piece on the tank as well which seems to be a defect i just want to know what is actually going on and what is the quality testing team doing and what are they hired for ?????

Its not a cheap bike

Dear sir, i bought a new classic 350 bike from royal enfield in october 2015. now it has covered a distance of 9000 km. 2 days before when i was riding the bike, there found some slippage in chains with sound and when checked it was found that 6 teethes of sprocket (rear side) found in broken condition. i bought this bike for rs 1, 51, 000 and for this cost it should give some minimum life to its parts. i am completely unsatisfied with this. my bikes registration number is ka 02 jf 3691. please do the needful. regards, kiran. r s1317, 4th cross 2nd stage bharathnagar, byadarahalli, bangalore 560091. [protected]. pls do the need ful. thank you

Dear sir my bike registration number is mh47 j 1211 i bought this bike in 24 novenmer 2015 and after 7 months i found sleepage in chain i found my 15 teeths broken. its only been 7 months and this bike didnt give much time to its parts. a low cost bike give more time to their parts then this 350 classic. these types of parts in royal enfield really disappointing.

I have booked my re himalayan on may 02 in i speed motors, no 29/13, medavakkam tank road, ayanavaram, chennai - 600023. i was promised by the sales representative (brighton karthick) that the bike will be delivered to me in 45 days, but till date i did not receive any further communication from the dealer or so. i feel that they expecting a call from the actual customer? when i called to the center they say that, we will arrange something by 10th of this month. i was really surprised and visited the showroom yesterday (07/07/2016), no one in the showroom is able to answer any of the questions related to the himalayan, when i asked about the recent change in the shaft for the tappet noise, hard gear shifts, the service cycle or accessories available. : (they also said that if i want i can take the displayed product in the showroom. after that i explained the actual issues in the old lot to them and insisted them on a newly produced product after july 2016, then they agreed and said they we will arrange something by 15th of this month.

Last complain is that, they insited on paying the full payment, even before the actual bike is ready. i really feel this is not re, you guys do everything for the customer and try for their satisfaction. please look into this issue, as this may lose your actual dignity as a brand.

Really worried now, i just filled my finance documents yesterday (07/07/2016) and it got approved today too. but really thinking of the decision to go for it or not.

I was very much interested and happy to know that re's engineers to give a great product like the himalayan, and also trying to solve its minor issues, that usually occurs in a new vehicle launch. but no one in the actual showroom are ready to sell this product. they instead say, why cant i take the gt so that they can deliver it by tomorrow.

My question to re, please answer them:

1. is the actual production of himalayan not started?
2. if i get the product in the new lot will it have those minor issues?
3. why there is a communication gap within showroom and your production unit?
4. please tell me about the accessories, especially the crash guard for himalayan.
5. atlast please tell whether my decision to go to himalayan is correct or wrong?

Dear Sir, I bought a new standard 500 from royal enfield in november 2015. Now it has covered a distance of 8000 km. 2 days before when i was riding the bike, there found some slippage in chains with sound and when checked it was found that many teethes of sprocket (rear side) found in broken condition. I bought this bike for Rs 1, 80, 000 and for this cost it should give some minimum life to its parts. I think the low cost bikes available in the market will give more life to parts than this. I am completely unsatisfied with this. My bikes registration number is KL-41-K-5355. The photographs showing the broken teethes of sprocket are attached herewith. Please do the needful. Regards, Harikrishnan S.

Dear Representative,

The complain I have is
1. With regards to the Paint quality on the Fuel Tank of Classic 350 ASH color. A few weeks back some petrol spilled over on the fuel tank and remain in that condition through out the night. Next morning I try to clean it and I see that the tank has turned yellowish. That color is not going at all. I got the Polish and Coating as well done but to no use. And the issue will even appear on next time as well. I need either a new Paint job or a new Fuel tank.
2. The vibrations in Classic 350 (new one) is too much. I cant see anything in my rear view mirror when I touch a speed of 55 on a highway. It is too dangerous to drive without visibility from behind. A big issue. I dont know what can be done with it, but it has to be resolved in whatever new models/versions you come up with. It is risky for anybodys life.

I brought a Royal enfield classic350 on
1-1-16 it getting rusted all over parts and I complained to them they ignored that and I made 3 services complaining about mileage after each service it is becoming worst than before and that to those sounds from tank and suspension it is horrible, to say that royal enfield is good brand it's just a mad thing, worst company not responding to our problems and making us to pay money for your nasty work...

Unseen case and not even heard about this but it happened. i bought reds and it was just 2 months and was riding on a highway in mumbai was on speed 60 kmph, i went through a small pot hole the bike's front wheel went through without any hassle but the rear wheel got a impact and the spoke which connects the drum (cast iron) it just got broke, 4 spoke point got broke and even the wheel got a bent. my friend was seated he weighed just 65 kgs. the service centre guys said they are getting this kinda issue for the first time their. i claimed for insurance. but i need a reclaim and proper explanation for this from the royal enfield company.
Thanks
Saranraj

My bullet 350 std run only 9200km and found 3-4 teeths of rear sprocket tear off. since i was taking a regular care of the bike and regular chain cleaner applied even after so much care and very smooth driving i got this problem. bt the service centre people telling this is due to lack of maintenance, but in my case its not the exact reason bcz i am using royal enfield since 10 years nd know how to take care of my bull. i love my bullet so much and behave very gently with it. after all precautions and care i got this material damage problem and re is not taking any responsibilty towards this. its totally not justified and i am getting annoyed eith the services. plz look into the matter and change it under warrenty scheme.

I bought a royal enfield thunderbird 350 asphalt. I went for my 1st service. The bike was out the next day. I expected a very good service but i was wrong. The bike handle made some sound and my leg guard was wobbling. I felt that the leg guard wasnt there to guard my legs but to hurt them more. I went for a re-service and then said everything was checked. A week later when i am on the road my silencer fall off and i had to get hold of that hot piece of metal and fix it all by myself. The same day on my way back the rear disk break failed and i escaped an accident. Then a nut from the right side of the leg guard fall off to do the cherry on the cake. I'm afraid that the bike came with its insurance but made me get my life insurance done. I'm sick to be buying a bike by paying full cash was such a waste.

I have given the bike for service at venkataramana automobiles pvt. Ltd. On 16 june 2016 and received it back on 18 june 2016. When i received the bike, it was informed to me that the water wash was not done, as there was some technical problem with the pump. I took a note on the receipt and agreed to come again for bike wash at a later time. When i tried to start the bike the bike was not taking self start. I asked the mechanic and he said that may be someone left the ignition on, because of which the battery is drained, which was a surprise. He kick started my bike and told me to keep the bike running for few kms which would charge the battery, and told me that if there was any problem i should just call them and they would fix it. I came home and shut my bike's engine and just to test i tried to give it a self start, but it didnt start. Not only that now the whole ignition was out and the bike didnt even start with the kick. I called the venkataramana automobile workshop on [protected], and spoke to mechanic who said he would come next day as it was almost the closing time then. Since that day to this i keep calling on the same number [protected] but people just don't respond and tell that tomorrow they will send some body. I also got the number of manager ([protected]) and even he does the same thing. Request you to please provide a solution. I am providing other details for reference:

Sad, sorry, bad to inform you, this is my sixth bullet, and riding your products since 1985. The issue is vehicle met with accident, and your service department waiting for chassis for one and half months to get it from chennai. It is pathetic, horrible experience of waiting after numerous reminders over phone, in person.

Now, this mail, i don't understand your system, take action and relieve me from this trauma. Your service in charge anirudh ruling here has to heed my plea.

With sorrow

I got a new RE classic approximately 4 months back, and till now i was really happy with my bike. But from past couple of days i was observing some unusual sound while riding the bike. Yesterday when i was cleaning up my bike i found the regulator hanging down. On having a closer look i saw that the bracket on which the regulator is attached is actually broken. And that bracket is a part attached to the chassis. I cant believe that a great company's bike such as Royal Enfield has such a low quality material. Owning a Royal enfield bike was a dream for me from childhood and i still have a lot of respect for the company. I hope this issue of mine will be solved and it will be taken care of so as other people should not face the same problem.

Sir, I am antony from trichy - tamilnadu –india.i own a bullet 500, 2015 model.recently I ended up with a problem in the self start and and some noisy parts.

Hello
Im g. Kiran kumar reddy,
Residence of vishakhapatnam

Booking reciept no - 954

Booking executive - mr. Durga

Manager of servicing - mr. Gopal

Md of saran motors - mr. Vamsi

Vehicle registration no - ap31da 9334

Chassis no - me3u3k5c0fe779119

Engine no - u3k5c0fe779119

Model no - 800631

Model name - bullet 350 black

I had booked bike as on 07 11 2015 in saran motors and asked for a favour to my booking executive mr. Durga that any possibility of delivering bike by
11 11 2015 as i had birthday on that day and he asked me to ask md for that he too responded well and deliveried on 10 11 2015 by saying that its a test ride vehicle and it just rided for about 30 kms i agreed and ttok by thinking 30 kmsdoes not matters and by words he said

After using for few days i realised that some complaints regarding bike condition and i asked for that they said it can be rectified during my 1st servicing
I took my bike for first servicing as on 05 12 2015 and in job sheet filed complaints as
Problem in gear shifting, starting problem of kick start and it continued til my 3rd servicing
In mean whilei took bike for service as it not rectified as on dates

7 12 2015

12 02 2016 my second service

27 02 2016 as it not rectified

I became hopeless nd even arguement took place by me and manager gopal garu and he made a decision of opening the clutch cover for low pick up complaint and gear shifting by the chief mechanic named mr. Akbar he is the one who repaired til 3rd servicing from first
After examining for 20 min he made a conclusion that clutch plates had spoiled an i rejected for paying money as i had warrenty towards engine and mr. Gopal agreed for replacement of spares and they keptbike for nearly 5 days in service point and returned saying they replaced them

But later on sounds started emitting from tappets and crank shaft

I fed up and took for 4th servicing on 1 6 2016

I got shocked by words of manager saying that we will give warrenty only i[censored] people buy accessories as
Afety gaurds, silencers, mega wheels from showroom

I had doubt regarding this from when royal enfield has started giving warrenty to chennai made products in showrooms

I clearly refused to take my bike in such a condition and left

They asked some senior mechanic to observe and he made a clear notice that some parts to b replaced as
Cam wheels, head assembely, tappets, engine bearings and given me a price as 9000 in period ofwarrenty

As i had friend in service point let me known that is a well used trail bike and its first service had completed on 4 10 2015
I attached bills regarding everything

The funiest thing is they charged me by labour charge too as on 1st nd 2nd servicing

I had a doubt that im not new to enfield even i had my old enfield of 2009 model used for 4 successful years by me
Eve though complaints cant be in such a huge quantity

As i questioned my friend in service point he said truth that the head is been replaced by some electra silver in warrenty issues

They even took full amount of bike as if its fur and on road charges

They not even rectified any problem til today

O i approched u people for justice as even before at time of 2nd servicing i made a complaint regarding my bike

I completely fed up by service provided by saran motors

O
Im here to make a clear conclusion that either my amount towards my bike to be returned or replaced by new bike

Now u people are the decision makers of this issue nd it not just matter of a bike its a matter of reputation of a firm for about 115 succesful years since 1901

I think this issue can be enclosed before a span of 15 days

If any further clariications u can contact me by no-[protected]


Il feel very greatful i[censored] can give a perfect conclusion to my problem

A hopeful customer
