The company will be contacting affected customers soon and replace the faulty component at no extra cost. However, we recommend taking your motorcycle to the bikemaker’s service centre for a thorough inspection.

The Bullet 500 is powered by a 499cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine which produces 28PS of power and 41.3Nm of torque. The Bullet 350 and 350 ES, on the other hand, are powered by a 346cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine which churns out 20PS of power and 28Nm of torque.

While the Bullet 500 gets front and rear disc brakes coupled with a dual-channel ABS, the Bullet 350 and Bullet 350 ES get a 280mm front disc, a drum brake at the rear. The two cruisers also get a single-channel ABS as standard.
