[Resolved] Royal Enfield — worst bike to buy

R ritanjay from Gurgaon, Haryana

i am ritanjay bora a grieved customer of royal enfield desert storm. I Am Facing a Problem Of White Smoke.my bike has done only 6000 km .When i contacted to the service person they told me ring or may be block is damaged. There is no point to spend big buck on this junk. It would have been better to buy three of honda activa instead of this 200 kg of junk so that your whole family can ride.Over And Above There Is Another Problem 6th Time My Plug Got Fused And Not Sure What Is The Reason even service guy was also unable to shortout the problem Infact Recently I Spent Around inr 1200 With New NGK Iridium Plugs And That Too Got Fused. I advice not to buy this bike. Because bike is poor and service support is even pathetic. Service guys are doing their experiment on my desert storm and result is zero. If you want to invest 1.5 lakh rs then dump it in your backyard it will give better return then the classic 500 desert storm.

Hi i bought a 2009 royal enfield classic efi 500cc last summer, The bike is in top condition and i was happy with the purchase, however after ONE month of riding the srag clutch broke, which at first i did'nt think was a bad thing due to the fact the bike was secondhand. (although it only had 15, 000 on the clock) Since the first sprag replacement i have had to replace the sprag 3 times in the last 4 months!!!?? (WTF)I can't believe this and am so so so unhappy with this bike. This model has NO kick start which i think is a stupid design fault and gives you no option when a problem like this occurs!
I have bought a new battery and made sure i have done everything in my power to ease the starters job.
I live in Alicante Spain and last month i took the bike down to Almeria about 250 miles south through some of the best enfield riding roads in the world. Buy the time i got there the exhaust had split along the welds and the starter was having problems again:(
I have no idea what to do about this bike at the moment and feel let down with Enfield.
These bikes look and sound wonderful but the slogan "built like a gun" Should be changed to "built like a spud gun" me thinks?
Regards from a very disappointed rider!
