Royal Enfield Complaints & Reviews

My name is Uma Mahesh.P and i bought RE Classic 350[silver] . I delivered my bike for 2nd free service at seetammadhara service center with complaint of sound occurring in engine after traveling 15 kms . After completion of service I've received my bike without any changes . Generally customer receive a call from service center after service but at that time i didn't receive any call . Before 1 week from now i delivered my bike at the same service center for third free service with the same complaint[sound occurring in engine after 15 kms] to the mechanic named SREENU with including supervisor name PRAVEEN and i left my bike for 4 days in the service centre . I received my bike before 1 week and at present these sound is normally occurring . Today i made a call to the same service center and response from them is too worst . I cant bare these type of behaviour . RE is the best brand but these type of service centers will definitely damage the high reputation of RE . I hope you i'll rectify this problem . I attached my billing details including details of bike and service center . And at my actual bill is rs.2700, they asked me to pay rs.3000 . Please inform me after verifying this problem .

Date: 19th March 2015 Dear Mr. Pragnesh Shah, Re: Chassis # ME3U3S5C0EK553231 Engine # U3S5C0EK553231 Bullet Electra 350 UCE ES (GJ 1SQ 8775) It was pleasure talking with you today! As discussed over the phone, that based on the orders given by you Mr. Manish Khandare - Territory Service Manager located at Ahmedabad office (Contact No.[protected] is supervising the 4th time Piston and Piston Block replacement in my 7 month old Newly Purchased Red Electra. i request you to kindly guide me why my Bullet needs the following:- 1. Piston and Piston Block Change for the 4th Time.? Kindly answer the following:- 1. Why you cannot change the ENTIRE ENGINE, in spite of the fact that I am getting the same problems repeatedly? 2. Are the engineers at Sarabai workshop UN-EXPERIENCED and UNEDUCATED, the reason they were unable to replace PISTON and PISTON BLOCK properly 3 times in a row? 3. Are you QUALIFIED and ENOUGH EXPERIENCED and MORE EXPERIENCED THAN THE ENGINEERS AT SARABI WORKSHOP ENGINEERS, the reason you want to get the PISTON AND PISTON BLOCK REPLACED it for the 4th TIME. 4. Will the bullet run for 20, 000 Kms after its WARRANTY GETS OVER with out the following problems:- a) Electric start problem b) Kick start problem c) OIL-UP IN SPARK PLUG d) Engine Noise e) Jolts and jerks problem As discussed, i will not accept the repaired bike until and unless you or any responsible chair holder from Royal Enfield does not answer my above mentioned all questions point wise. Kindly note that My RED ELECTRA no GJ-1-SQ-8775 is at Sarabai workshop (service station) since 9th march 2015 till date. I do not appreciate your reply, because i think even you are not serious about my loss of time and money, and REQUEST YOU TO KINDLY answer all my above mentioned questions. As i have clearly mentioned in my previous email that I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN TO Mr. Manish Khandare - Territory Service Manager located at Ahmedabad office (Contact No.[protected] I also mentioned it very clearly in my previous email that even he is advising me to change the following: 1) Change piston and piston block FOR 4TH TIME Now my question is "Are the engineers at Sarabhai workshop unqualified and inexperienced?" If they are qualified and experienced technical engineers, then the logic of Mr. Manish Khandare DOES NOT work of changing the Piston and Piston Block for the 4th Time I have a question, WHY YOU WANT AN CUSTOMER WHO HAS SPENT 1.31 Lakhs to VISIT THE WORKSHOP AGAIN AND AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM? WHY ALL OF YOUR ENGINEERS KEEP ON ADVISING TO CHANGE PISTON AND BLOCK ALWAYS? IF ROYAL ENFIELD IS NOT A PERSON BUT A TEAM THEN, ALL TEAM MEMBERS MUST TRUST EACH OTHER, IF THE ENGINEERS AT SARABI WORKSHOP HAVE TRIED SOLVING THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE PISTON AND BLOCK 3 TIMES, THEN ITS TOTALLY ILLOGICAL TO REPLACE IT FOR THE 4TH TIME. Hence I have a polite request as a customer, who has spent 1.31 Lakhs behind purchasing this bike, kindly replace the entire engine with entire ignition system. As discussed, the following undermentioned problems are harassing me since the day I have purchased Royal Enfield from your show room. 1) Kick start trouble 2) Electric start trouble 3) Sound in engine 4) oil up in plug 5) Getting jerks & jolts while driving As discussed the above mentioned problems occurs periodically after every 500 to 1000 km. Your following engineers at the workshop of Sarabhai, Ahmedabad have tried solving the above mentioned problems. Mr. Ravi Mr. Jignesh Mr. Jigesh They have already taken the following actions to solve the problems. However the problems crops up. 1) Changed piston and piston block 3 times 2) Changed crank one time 3) Changed corroborator one time As communicated to you that I have been struggling to enjoy long ride in the purchased Royal Enfield which has costed me 1.31 Lakh. Since I have purchased Royal Enfield (7 months approximately), I am facing the above mentioned technical problems. If the desired action is not taken, then I may approach to consumer court or electronic media channels along with mass media for my help. Thank & Regards Dipesh M - +[protected] - +[protected]

Hi i bought a new classic 350 3months back. Now my odometer shows 8000kms, but from the 2nd service ( 6000kms) i am facing too many problems like unwanted engine noise, gear problem and chain noise. i contacted the nearby service center in coimbatore (peelamedu). they cant even identify the problem for more than 1week. later on they changed the chain, opened the engine and changed engine barring and crank adjusted. within in 2days of the service my clutch cable was broken while driving. again now self start is not working and if i press the self start button, am getting a huge breaking noise from the gear box. i contacted the service center for more than 10 times in this 3 weeks. There is no proper service, no use of feedbacks as i registered all the complains before. poor water service as they wash the bike without using foam. I am looking for a better solution. i am tired of contacting royal enfield again and again. please help me. Thanks

2 days before, I given my classic 350 silver bearing no GJ06-HE-2772 for paid service at Amba Motors, shop no 1 to 4, nr airport circle, Vafodara. The person mr. Harshit Acharya had attended my job card and i have explained about the gear shifting, tappet noise and chain noise due to loose chain but delivered my vehicle without rectifying all three problems and also tappet noise which i mentioned in job card, They are lying me that noise was corrected. No symptoms for even washing the vehicle. Then the technician mr. Kanubhai Vasava and Service floor manager Mr. Mayur Padhiyaar told me that the gear shifting problem is major problem and for this you will cost around four to five thousands which is totally unbelevable. Now my vehicle is even not in running condition . This is one of the worst service i have ever seen in my career done by Amba motors, Vadodara.. Sir my request is to please look in this matter and reply me at g.[protected]@licindia.com or on mobile [protected] Gautam Helia.

2 days before, I given my classic 350 black for 4th service at saravana motors, Hosur. They delivered my vehicle without rectifying tappet noise which i mentioned in job card, also they damaged my mudguard.. Kept mouth... They are lying me that noise was corrected. No symptoms for even touching the engine. Outside mechanic told that they not even touch the engine and removed the coil plug.One of the worst service i have ever seen in my career done by saravana motors, Hosur.. My vehicle no: TN 70 M 8917

I purchased Royal Enfield Desert Storm model yesterday i.e. 12/03/2015 and to my utter dissatisfaction within 50 kms of riding the bike and one day the bike has started emitting white smoke and there is hell lot of oil leakage from engine. When I went to RE showroom (TEKNIK Motors, Bangalore) they casually told me to come tomorrow to get the engine seal replaced... I just cross checked the Engine oil level and to my dismay its below the minimum level mark whereas your RS service centre guys told me to drive it without tension... Even an knows if you drive a vehicle without oil, what will happen to engine... Is this the kind of machinery and after sales service one can expect from you guys after paying nearly INR 2 LAC, which started faulting right from the very first day and then getting these kind of assurance from your service guys... Please wake up and start treating customer in better way... And in case I wont get the resolution of my complaint tomorrow I am all set to register a case in consumer court against you guys..

Sir, This is to complain about St. Mary's motors, your dealer in Kochi, that they had not delivered our motorcycle.It has been delayed for nearly 2 months.We booked a "STANDARD 500"black color on last year October 6th.they told they would deliver it on the month of January ie.4 months of booking time.still now they say the vehicle is not ready. As you keep your standard now, there should be an immediate action on this matter.expecting an response from your side.

I am attaching the Bill and job card for your reference. Can you help me here and please inform the Head office of Royal Enfield. My number is [protected].

I have faced issues within 3 months after buying a classic 350 - royal enfield. Even I gave to 1st and 2nd service on time. Gave the bike to legend motors and 2 weeks gone. Still they are saying today or tomorrow or monday etc. Simple saying spare parts(ammeter) are unavailable? This is not at all good and also spoils the reputation of my dream bike. Bike used to stop while riding in 60km/ph - How come the design allows this ? As this will cause a live threatining accident if I am riding in the high way ? One of the worst service I have ever seen. Guys better avoid to buy even i[censored] r dream of it. I agree, We all grown up seeing this bike as a dream, but quality is not at all in enfield nowadays. Thanks & Regards Ramasamy R Ph: +91 [protected]

I Am really surprised how Indian government has agreed to lunch the Enfield motorcycle in the market when Royal Enfield doesn't have the stock of the parts in market for even the veichels launched 1 to 2 yrs before. I am not able to find the LB500 Cylinder head any were in INDIA and my bike is in the garage from past 6 months ridicules.

@Royal Enfield I need an answer! My RE Classic 500cc will complete two years on 6th of March and my bike which is not even two years old has made me invest a lot in repairs. That's totally fine and expected if one purchases an RE. But now I had it, my chassis is broken! Made like a gun you claim. Imagine the barrel breaking apart, the magazines not letting you feed in the cartridges easily. A gun is made of metal or steel and is forged with precision to avoid any harm to the person wielding it. Please stay true to the claim! I want the problems of RE fans and riders to be rectified! RE you must improve your quality. Check my post: https://www.facebook.com/urvashipatole/posts/[protected]?comment_id=[protected]&...⇄

I am totally upset to be a part of this pathetic situation, as my Desert storm key got broke while I am just removing from the lock. And the spare key got bend while just turning the lock. To be frank, I am so proud while I got my first bull and heard the enormous 'tak tak' beat. But now the situations are just reversed, even the hard core Enfield lovers also cannot keep mum in this case. Waiting for many months and paid around 2 Lakhs (6 months old) and getting quality rejected parts, really it is cruel to customers. Please find the photos, which I have attached with this mail. So I am pretty sure company will take necessary actions to overcome this situation.


Thank you,

I purchased a bullet 500 forest green today on 22-02-15 from Manzil motors Gurgaon. It was a very bad experience for me when I took delivery of my vehicle today. 1. Only 2 litres of petrol was poured in the fuel tank. I had downloaded the bullet 500 manual from royalenfield.com and it clearly mentions in PDI sheet that 5 litres of petrol has to be filled. When I asked the staff to give 5 litres, to my surprise, the manager and the owner of the dealership was very arrogant and misbehaved with me. They said that they have been filling 2 litres from years and will continue doing that. They asked me to complaint about it where ever I want to. 2. When I received my service manual, I noticed last 7-8 pages were torn from the manual which included the PDI sheet, customer feedback. When I asked for the customer feedback sheet, they said that there is no such kind of sheet in the manual. I dropped a mail to [protected]@royalenfield.com on 22-02-15 highlighting the issue, but it has been 7 days today and I did not get any reply from Royal Enfield.
