Royal Enfield — White smoke from Classic desert storm

Address:New Delhi, Delhi

Recently on 04/07/2015 I got My Classic desert storm to regular service and the Service center ( Lamba Enterprises, Tilak Nagar) told me that there is white smoke coming from the exhaust and this would require engine work which will cost around 25-30k. Details - The bike clocked ~14000KMs, purchased in July 2012, serviced regularly from authorized service center, hardly ridden and never been to a long trip, how can there be an issue of white smoke ? Royal enfield authorized service center( Lamba Enterprises, Tilak Nagar) is saying that the bike needs engine work and would cost 25-30k. Also, there are no signs of pickup loss and drop in mileage. The only observation was - The bike exhumes white smoke once the accelerator is revved up. ( See the Youtube video) This seems totally unjustified. Royal enfield is known for its robust built and powerful performance. Issues like this marks a dent on the reputation. Its hard to digest that ROYAL ENFILED Classic 500 needs engine work at ~14000 kms even after regular service from authorized service center. I request royal enfield to look into this issue ASAP.
