I have just bought my first Royal Enfield.
It's a C5 2018 Classic 500 Chrome with only 137 miles on the clock. I also own a Honda CB1300 and a Honda C90.
I had it from Thunderroad Cwmbran, South Wales and it came with the first ssrvice done as the bike is now 14 months old.
I never ride my bikes in the wet or through the winter and this will be cherished and kept in mint condition.
I have already used a polishing mop and compound on the side casings and they've started to come up to a mirror finish.
Any thoughts on "Running In"?
I have read that vibration issues can be "solved" by briefly taking the bike up to the redline for a couple of seconds occasionaly in these very early stages, whuch contradicts the manufacturer's recommendations. Anyone tried it? I think it was one of the Paul Grocock youfube video where I first saw it.
I'm also considering a smaller exhaust. By all accounts the standard is heavy and doesn't sound as great. Any recommendations?
Thank you. The bike looks stunning.
