Confused by the naming conventions - any advice?

Hello all.

Firstly apologies if this is the incorrect section....I wasn't sure where to post this quuestion.

I have just ordered a brand new Royal Enfield Bullet - the army green version.

When I am looking at parts for it on this site, I'm not clear which components I should be looking at for my specific bike.

When I look at a component, I see a list like the one below - which is great, but I have no idea which my bike actually is.

Model 350cc 500cc
Bullet (export) No All
Bullet (ind market) N0 All
Bullet Redditch No All
Electric Start - All
Sixty 5 - All
Electra (x) - No
Thunderbird No -
Electra EFI - No
Classic EFI - No
B5 EFI - No

Can anyone help? I will be eternally grateful, and also promise to ask more technical questions next time

Many thanks in advance

Steve

You could ask your bike seller if he has a leaflet about the bike you are getting, all the official dealers should have them. You should be able to find the exact model code on that. If it is a modern Bullet it will definitely be an EFI type as they have stopped making the older type of engine now.
You may also find these newer machines referred to as the UCE type, i.e. Unit Construction Engine.

Hi Steve, your Bullet 'Battle Green' is exactly the same machine as the 'Classic 500 EFI UCE' (AKA C5), but with the military paint job. In fact the 'Classic Chrome' and 'Desert Storm' are also all the same, bar the finish.
So if you look for 'Classic EFI' in our hosts lists you will be find the correct componants for your new bike.
All the best.
