Royal Enfield — royal enfield bullet

Address:Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, 201010

Dear sir/madam,

I purchase a royal enfield - bullet 350 black bs iv from your dealer "solitaire automative" noida, sector-63 on 16.09.2018 and the details are as follows:

Booking no. : bkng[protected]
Chassis no. : me3u3k5c1jh357437
Engine no : u3k5c1jg812088
Tyre no. : 3437
Financier : capital first ltd

The customer care complaint registration number is ccshoc[protected] dated 10.4.2018.

I have been driving other bikes for last 15+ years but as this is my first royal enfield bullet so i was not aware about the bullet engine's genuine sound. When i listen the sound on the first day, i thought that will be ok after few kms. But when my friends who have been using bullet for a long time listened the engine's sound they shocked and ask me to throw back this bullet in the showroom as there was very bad crank noise in the engine on the very first day.

Next day on the way to my office i felt the front wheel was bubbling, i thought due to low air pressure but when the tyre mechanic checked he told me that the front wheel alignment is very bad and it's breaks are not friction-free, they need to be replaced or repaired because it may cause an accident. I was out of the town so i had to pay and get the front wheel's breaks repaired there at a pvt. Bullet mechanic, as he was an experienced bullet mechanic (20+ year experience of repairing bullets) he listened the engine noise and told me the same thing as my friend suggested that there was engine's crank noise which is not a good sign.

Before purchasing this bullet i was dreaming that i would drive like a royal man as royal enfield has huge respect in the world as a solid a perfact bike but everything went wrong with this particular peace. Sometime's it takes 8-10 kicks to get start and its battery meter never goes into green line (Charging) always kept in middle while driving also, i don't know if the battery is defective of it works like this?

I am highly disappointed with the performance of your bullet (Particularly this as i am huge fan of royal enfield bullet and i want to drive bullet only but not this type of defective peace).

The meter is just crossed only 500 kms and it's first service is about to be done but i am getting problem like a 20+ years old bike.

1) front wheel alignment problem can be repaired no issue.
2) if the battery is defective can be replaced, no issue.
3) bike kick starting problem can be solved after replacing the battery, no issue.
4) the bikes pickup & mileage is ok as i am still driving 50-55 km/hr as suggested by the showroom's delivery man at the time of delivery.
5) gear shifting problem while gearing down from 3rd to 2nd, 2nd to 1st and it also stuck between neutral to 1st. It's a serious problem as this is a new bullet will get suggestion from your engg. At the time of visit.
6) there is very little oil signs on the engine may be serious issue.

But

7) what about the new engine's abnormal crank noise?

Neither i'll accept this defective engine nor repairing of this engine at any cost.

How could anybody get the engine repaired just within first 500 kms of his vehicle?

I want this defective engine must be replaced with a new genuine bullet engine after checking the real royal enfield sound.

I purchased royal enfield and i want the same feel while driving on road, not like a trackter or deaser engine of a generator.

I love royal enfield bullet from my childhood and wants to drive the same perfect new bullet soon. I will forget all the issues if the company listen my problems like a genuine brand and solve them as per customer's satisfaction.

I believe that the world's best bike company "royal enfield" will take the matter seriously and get it solved very soon before an escalation.

Waiting for a positive, quick and favorable action from royal enfield.

Regards,

Yatendra kumar

Dear Team,

Very sorry to say that I am very disappointed with the behavior of service staff at "Solitair Automative service center, Sector-63, Noida" and the first service given to my bullet just after 20 days of purchased a new "Royal Enfield Bullet".

Front wheel alignment problem is solved, front break problem is solved.
Bike starting problem is solved.

But

my measure concern was about "the weird noise of the Engine" which is not rectified and now it is sounding much worse as compare to the sound before this first service.

When I went there for the 1st service 4 days before, there card boy & the mechanic who repaired the bike listened the abnormal sound in the engine and assured me that "Haan Engine Mein awaaz h par tension mat lo thodi si setting karne ke baad ye bilkul thik ho jaegi". Same words repeated by there Floor Manager Mr. Rakesh and both of them promised me that will be ok after first service and few settings inside the side panel.

Now the Engine is sounding worse and now they are saying that "Ye awaaz to New Bullets mein aati hi h, 2 saal ki guaranty h, aap chalao, koi dikkat nahi aayegi". While I have checked other new and old Bullets, there engine sound really nice as compare to mine.

The gear shifting problem is still persisting while driving, shifting down from 2-1 gear, it stuck there but the service engg. who repaired it said "Splendor ki tarah aaram se mat badlo, jor se per maro ye Bullet h"
while before service I told them the same problem.

I am sure there is not a single certified "Royal Enfield Service Enggineer". They all are local mechanics only have experience of repairing local bikes not Bullets.
Rather than listening their customer's problem genuinely and solving them honestly, they are imposing there thinking on the customer and trying to close the complaint as soon as possible. If they can't solve the problem there must be a certified and well experienced mechanic behind them to solved the problem and if this is manufacturing fault and cannot be repaired it must be replaced with a new engine to keep the reputation of "Royal Enfield" as it sounds by name.

Even from your side my complaint no. CCSHOC[protected] DATED 10.4.2018 is closed without my permission while the bike was in the service center at that time, even nobody informed me, just received a msg from your end that the complaint is closed.

I have been using Maruti car, Bajaj & Hero bikes and there staff and mechanics are much polite and experienced as compare to yours. More than 50 times I got my other vehicle serviced from their Authorized service centers and every time I got full satisfaction against my problems but here with "Royal Enfield" from back-end to front end everybody is making me fool. They all behave like frustrated Govt. Employees.

Nobody cares how the customer is suffering even after spending Rs. 1.5 Lakhs from his hard earning money.
After this very first "Royal Enfield" service experience in my life I realized my mistake of purchasing a "Royal Enfield" bike.
It is just a waste of my money.
Waste of time & mental harassment for me now and interesting thing is that its all happening within the first month of new Bullet even when I didn't get the Registration no. of the vehicle.
