Hot Bike Alert! What makes a burnout so fun on the GT650?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I get it, burnouts are far from the best thing you can be doing to your bike, but man there is just something so damn fun about listening to the 650 twin scream as the rear tire loses all grip.

As someone who has seen a few GT650 burnouts being done and filmed/photographed, I wonder:

What exactly is it about burnouts that make people want to do them?

Is it the sound?
Is it the adrenaline rush?
Is it the visual aspect of it?
Is it just one of those stupid bike things?

From my point of view, there is a difference between appreciation of the spectacle and wanting to abuse your bike.

Anyone else got any thoughts on it?

FIRST BIKE questions

0 Upvotes

Hello fellow RE lovers, just wanted to make up my mind about getting my first bike so i have a few questions and hoping you would help out.
So i have been riding my cousin's classic 350 and i just love riding it. so i started to look around the internet, watching videos, going on the RE website and reddit posts but i cant seem to choose one that i like the most, all of them look fantastic.
I really dont know which one i want but i do know how i want to ride. since im a college student i would have to commute in city (college is in DU north campus), i also want to keep the bike for a long time so that i can have trips to the mountains or anywhere with friends but not immediately.
I am 6 foot tall, bulky build so i dont think GT is for me as i dont imagine myself riding a cafe racer.
I think i can handle more weight than the classic my cousin has (around 200kg) but i really dont know.
I like the look of the super meteor and the interceptor as well, both different types of bikes, i know, but i cant decide.
Could you recommend a RE bike to me, it can be a bike apart from the sm and the inty but please dont comment things like its about personal preference/they are different bikes. cause i already dont know which to go with and it just confuses me.
Thanks for helping

Mechanical Assistance Avg lowering while warming up

1 Upvotes

Every Day before i go tô work, i leave my bear 650 idling to warm the engine for 3 minutes.

Yesterday i noticed that my average km/l consumption was getting down pretty fast.

That does not make sense for me, because my bike cannot be wasting that much fuel while only idling.

Is that actually normal? This is my first bike with a TFT display, so i've never had this kind of info before

Hit 2 big speed breakers at 70–80 km/h on my GT 650. Should I worry?

0 Upvotes

So today I was coming home from the gym with my brother pillion. We were doing around 70–80 km/h when I suddenly hit two huge speed breakers.

The suspension absorbed the impact pretty well and the bike felt completely normal afterward. I rode home without any issues.

But now I’m kinda overthinking it 😭. Could there be any hidden damage to the suspension, forks, rims, tyres, etc.?

Bike is at ~300 km and first service is at 500 km. Should I get it checked now or just wait for the service? (Used chatgpt for grammer)

Buying Advice- India and Asia Anyone downgraded from a 650 to a 350? How did it feel after a few months?

Post image
165 Upvotes

I have a Classic 650 (14 months, 7,500 km) and a 12-year-old FZ for local runs. Thinking of selling the 650 and buying a Goan Classic 350 so I have one bike I actually use for everything.

Why: at 243 kg the 650 never gets used locally, tube tyres worry me on ghat roads, and windblast caps me around 120 anyway so I’m not really using the engine. My riding is mostly 100–300 km weekend runs to Ooty, Valparai and Coorg from Coimbatore.

Test rode the Goan and it’s clearly less smooth. I expected that, but feeling it was different from knowing it.

For anyone who’s made this trade:
* Did the refinement gap fade after a few months, or get worse?
* Did the weight and running cost benefits actually show up day to day?
* Anyone go back up to a bigger bike? What triggered it?
* Goan owners — how is it over 200–300 km of ghat roads, and what luggage fits with that chopped fender?

I know the 650 is the better bike. I want to hear from people who downgraded anyway and lived with it.

Hot Bike Alert! Royal Enfield brought back the OG Himalayan but not the OG console?

Thumbnail

69 Upvotes

The new Himalayan 411 was spotted at the showroom, but honestly, I’m pretty disappointed with the meter console. Since they’re bringing back the old 411, they should’ve brought back the old console too. Where do you guys think they’ll position this bike in the segment? And with this launch, do you think the Scram 411 will eventually be discontinued as the sales is pretty low ?

Found this beautiful old book at our local village hall charity sale for £1. Every page is full of wonderful bikes and tons of history and technical detail and drawings. I have taken a few photoes but there are hundreds more. Its a real treasure which as an Enfield owner I will cherish.

I changed the engine oil at 38,000 km, and now the odometer is at 41,000 km after 3 months. Is this oil leak serious? Should I get it checked or do something about it?

Hot Bike Alert! Keep or Let go?

Hey, I recently brought a Classic 350 Stealth Black Edition - 1.5 months ago.
Current odo running is at nearly 2k (1900ish)

Lately, Ive realised that I’m not enjoying it much (its a great motorcycle btw) and my interests lie towards an Adventure Motorcycle.

I’m figuring out whether I should take a call to pursue my wants or keep this for certain months/years?

Just want to hear from the fellow community brother’s.

PS: I’m 26M, based out of Pune.

Mechanical Assistance Did my first DIY oil change at almost15 000 km. Not nearly as difficult as I expected...

Post image

Hey there, a couple days ago I replaced oil and filter in my 2022 Classic 350. I know the standard oil change interval is 10 000 km, but I bought the bike used and based on the service log the last time oil was changed was more than a year ago. Now everything is working nice and smooth, no leaks and no warning lights, but just as I went over 14 900 the maintenance interval signal started flashing (little wrench icon on LCD screen). Is it just a periodic reminder or should I be worried? If it's the former, how do I rreset it?

Now it looks like a whole Frankenstein made up of int and GT parts, not sure why the previous owner would do these but wtv, on the title it says it's an INT650.

Anyways i want to know if its possible to make the engine casing shine again, it looks pretty rough, I've been trying to find videos but almost all of them already have a casing that's looking good and not in terrible shape. So I'm coming here to ask you guys how I can go about this.

Took her about 150 miles out to Eastern Long Island. First real distance ride on the new Classic. What a pleasure. Cruising at 75mph was a breeze. The upgraded seat and foot pedals really paid for themselves. Having this beauty out at the beach for the end of the summer is a dream.

Worth buying a '23 Himalayan for 1.25?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Friend runs a bike rental in Ladakh and wishes to sell this. Almost 50k on the ODO and I've run it for nearly 2k since last year.

Runs fairly well and hasn't shown any internal issue imho. It has been serviced well and tended to astonishingly quite nicely.

Has a visible dent on the right of the fuel tank.

My concern is like all of you

- since it's a rental it must've been used roughly especially in Ladakhi terrain

- the engine may have not been broken in properly

- the tank dent means it may have gotten into a fairly rough accident (which I will enquire about)

I reside in Himachal and my commute is mostly off-road. Yes, the lack of a sixth gear is palpable but I barely take it on the highways so that isn't a concern. Bike won't be in use during winters due to snow and hence I'm not keen on investing in a brand new one. This one will serve well as a daily beater.

My questions are:

- What is a healthy justifiable deal for it?

- What other things should I keep in mind?
