Q. Is the Royal Enfield bikes maintenance is high - Thunderbird 350?

Yes it is high . Just the general service itself costs around 2 to 3 k . If any spare parts to be replaced , it’s an additional . The battery last for 2 to 3 yrs , when battery runs outta juice then u have to replace it but cannot be charged , it dies technically, then the battery cost around 3 k at RE Showroom , but outside . 2.5 k with labor , but one more important thing is that , when when battery dies , the speedometer also dies simultaneously due to to excessive power supply to the meter , then u have to change it as well or repair it with some local workshop , that’s an additional cost , if you replace the speedometer with new one with RE it costs 8 k which is huge pocket biter. And still lotta other expenses when it comes to service or repair . It’s too much you have to save for bike maintenance in every 3 months . Keep it control.

I do not like royal Enfield service centres because they charge a lot for literally nothing. So, I have a local mechanic who charges around 3000/- for a general service. Since I service my bike every 3000 kms or once in 4 months, my service cost comes down to 9000/- per year. I am not accounting for any breakdown costs. That is situational.
