From our experience the dosage were all wrong. So pls check the RE site for correct amount. Take to whoever you feel safe and comfortable.

 

Marco, what are you looking for? The W650 is a beautiful bike.

Bro Rix, U got any workshop to recommend? I used to ride scram n tourer, so dun reali have any workshop in mind to service or check my RE....

[736cc]

any workshop can do the job. Just need to check your oil and plug every month or so.

[bleu]

Had an overflow jus now n I couldn't start my bike. Took out my spark plug n use a cloth to wipe it b4 I finally manage to kick start it.

 

I didn't turn the petcock switch to 'off' aft I stop/park my bike b4 I start again abt 10hrs later. Could this be the cause of the overflow? Or has the idling timing be the cause?

Tested n proven.....when petcock is switched off when bike is parked, no overflow problems....

 

Still looking for a good workshop to have my ride checked or serviced....

something is wrong! even my 38 year old honda with petcock on for whole week and no overflow issues. i think might want to bring it to work shop for a check.

Tats the 500cc one rite? Brand new or used? If brand new, it sounds ok to me.....I'm jus a newbie to RE as well...so gotta discount my opinions a bit...heehee

Only comment is tat the resale value of this bike not tat high. So if u're the type tat always like to change bike every 1 yr or so...u gotta think twice....not unless ur pocket is deep n dun mind losing $$ during the resale.....jus my two cents worth of opinions.

 

Base on wat I've gotten fr the net, spare parts wise, it's either u order n ship it in ursef fr india or onli rely on UM lor.....

 

Hope I'm of help tho I also am looking for help to learn more abt my bike (PS: I've onli owned my RE for barely a week...kekeke)

 

Hope u get ur bike soon....then we'll have more REOs on the road to share n learn....

Cheers

The RE Classic 500 is damn chio lor....u can actually consider abt it....sseriously..kekekeke

[736cc]

what is the price tag for the classic?

[bleu]

Didn't actually ask for the price. But one uncle who bought a 500 (not sure if it's a classic 500) fr UM say he got it for 9k. Think shld be ard tat price bah.

[Guest SPchoo]

i don't really like the classic ones. but when i saw the military version i had to have it. haha

if i am not wrong, there is a new engine and a noticable face lift. i haven't been down to UM to check it out yet but i am hoping it is the new one they are selling, the older model not so nice...

lucky i got sibei alot of indian friends. can ask them ship spare parts over for me! hahaha

Marco, heard the new 500 is going at 12K ++. Good reviews so far. A load smoother than the older version (which is very suitable for you and your vibes issues on RE or Harley... yes i heard erhmm...

 

Bleu, RE holds it's market value quite well especially when it's a "NEW" vintage as compared to the older vintage bikes. Parts are readily available and yes, if you take good care of your steed it'll last you for some time. Definitely a sought after rarity in time to come (due to the fact that there's about 30 max of them on the road - the older models that is).

 

Pm me if you want to get your RE checked from a reliable motorshop.

 

 

SPchoo, the new RE's run EFI. So not so classic after all IMO. It's just the styling that they are after. Personally, vintage rides for me should be solid chunks of metal, kick start only and extremely raw. Get your hands on an old world war 2 RE and you'll know what I mean.
