दोस्त मैं भी SM 650 owner हूं और roughly 3000 km चला ली है I don't know why you or other youtubers are doing Leh Circuit on this bike and then complain about its low ground clearance. You very well know that it's a cruiser and not a ADV bike. I think this is not justified on your part if you abuse the bike against its basic character and soul
Hello . I never said it's meant for mountains . But If I own a super meteor 650 and that's the only bike I have then can we take it to mountains .that's the question . And the answer is yes . And being a cruiser it's possible to take it to mountains I didn't had any issues .it was fun actually because some patches on mountains have amazing tarmac road now and Cruiser was the best option to ride there .
Ground clearence a big issue over city roads also... because there are very less good roads in city as well... if ground clearance is not good , when will we drive ... and each time I have to plan my trip based on ground clearance..... even a short drive in well connected city
Old Fox. You think in general terms and live in a box. This guy Moto Moksh tested new ideas and shared with us viewers. I got confidence seeing this video. I may purchase it just for city use but I appreciate Moksh did all this for us. Don't run your mind and then your mouth. Don't like something? Move on. Don't be a society aunty. You don't belong here. Move along
Thank u so much for honest explanation. I own Super meteor 650 top Model and I am very clear that this bike is not for complex roads. I will take Himalayan on such roads. Riding quality, comfort, long rides and performance were my priorities that`s why I bought this bike. No bike is perfect though but really happy with my decision.
Very nice information bro...I m 5ft 4 inches and would want to buy this bike in 2024...40 yrs of age, buying a bike after buying (building) a home would be my second dream

First of all it was a pleasure to hear you all through the video bhai. I just wanna ask if I want to purchase this bike, then what things should I consider most while checking during test drive. I am not very well informed about bike's anatomy but i heared some re sm650 customers faced some issues like their bike's handle is tilting to one side, water is spilling inside engine while wash, chain problem etc. Please provide me some knowledge so that i can spot out any problem while test drive and have some peace of mind. Great video and beautiful landscapes btw. Waiting for your reply sir.
Being a power cruiser at this price range you are left with this option only at around 4 lac. It’s a gem of a machine with amazing road presence and amazing riding pleasure . Things you should consider : 1. Issues will come as it’s a Royal Enfiel. 2. Spare parts are easy and nothing to worry about . 3. Most important is be personally present for PDA (pre delivery inspection) as during this time chances of any dent is more while logistic . 4. RE team is very supportive and better then dealers so always contact them in case of any issue . Best of luck for your purchase .
@@motomoksh btw sir it's my first time I got to know the meaning of logistics. Before I thought it was a similar word of logical or statistics. Heck of a fool I am🤣🤣 plz don't tell anyone 🙏🙏😂🤣
Good review , informative points and mainly the criticism at the end about companies fooling customers now a days. It is just not here , in many other product categories they delay launching few things just to push people into buying alternative solutions and then they will launch the actual product better, which have possibility of getting customer's money twice (with more price than quoted , inflated because of time gap) To the point reviews are necessary with examples and perspectives attached.
@@motomoksh Yes , good feel as a low segment adventure tourer , plus DOHC , respectable top speed , amazing color & modern speedos , not everything but better paint protection of modern era. Ticks the sufficient points right. Niggles are fine , just shouldn't be as bad as the first himalyan for the issues. Customers pay hard earned money in the ongoing years mainly. Will wait for the review even if it takes longer than usual for better points indicated then.

Hi, I'm planning for a new bike confused in between himalayan 450 and Super Meteor 650. I know it's odd to compare an ADV with a cruiser. I'm receiving different opinions from friends and family. Requirement: 1. Need a bike for family of 3(Me,wife and a baby)- received comments that himalayan pillion seat height space will be bit difficult for wife and baby. Suggested super meteor celestial variant as seat is wider than other two and backrest is provided. 2. Very minimal off road use. More city and highways. - Suggested super meteor since it's good for highway rides. 3. Looking for daily commute to office and home. - bit sceptical about engine heat in city traffic and heard that meteor chainspoket and back breakpads doesn't last morethan 3k kms. Appreciate your suggestion/Opinion. Thanks in Advance 😊
See. Super Meteor is very much mod friendly (you can make it bagger . Chopper. Customize is as per your need . Pillion: I don't find any bike as pillion friendly as charm of riding a motorcycle alone is next level . With kid I won't suggest you to ride on a bike (trippling) .it's very risky . 1. RE 1st set of bikes always has some issues .even himalayan will get issues and we will see that in next 2 months. Bust these issues are not a deal breaker (not a major issue few minor one ). Now moving to your choice : 1.If you are frequent mountain rider then you should go for himalayan . 2. If highway is your style of riding then both bikes are equally fun to ride. 3. City ride I personally feel super meteor has better road presence and can be taken out for office and some drinks . 4.himalayan however looks like you are always going for a tour . (Looks better with proper gear and all). 5. Go and take test ride for both bikes . (I lobe cruiser as it suits my style of riding and personality) . Test ride will make everything clear .
650 any day to actually enjoy riding pleasure and that extra punch . 350 is good if you are mileage conscious and mainly do city riding . 650 is a fun to ride in highways

Price isse kam kabi nai hogi . I still remember Maine 2012 me 118626 me thunder bird twin spark li thi . It's pure metal and with time and inflation proce will increase
It's was launched on 16th jan 23 .I booked on 17th jan 23 and got delivery in last week of March. At present you will get it delivered in 2 months for sure
Same engine but different characters. Continental gt : most fun to ride and best design (authentically pleasing ) Interceptor :little less initial punch then continental gt and better upright position (those who find it difficult to ride a cage racer ) Super meteor 650: pure riding pleasure power delivery is more leniear and less aggressive
thanks bro for sharing so useful information!! I m planning to have one ( used or new) SM interstellar but i m very confused about it seat . I m not sure if is very comfortable for a long ride and for a pillion rider also. So should i opt to replace with seat that of SM celestial . Pls suggest . Thanks
Glad I could help . I didn’t find issue with rider seat but yes pillion seat is really uncomfortable. So if you are riding with pillion then opt for touring seat else no issue
If you're riding doubles on SM650 Celestial your bum starts pinching and you will feel like sinking down the seat. So, you've to get off the bike and adjust yourself 5-10 mins and then continue the ride for another 1/1.30 hr. Same goes for pillion rider who starts feeling uncomfy after a while due to not so good rear side suspension. But, single ride on SM 650 is a charm as you can breeze through 100+ like it's nothing and you feel like relaxing on a couch while riding. Happy & Safe ride :)
Whats your height ? Actually I have ridden harley breakout and other big cruisers as well . So my finding is this super meteor is good for a guy with height 5.10 to 6. Guys with less height must install handle extenders so that riding position becomes very normal . For Harley breakout even 5,10 height is less. Moving on . A general arc on back comes when you ride a Cruiser and if an unexpected bump comes then the issue arrise as your body is not upright. I WOULD SUGGEST 1. GIVE TRY to handle bar extenders. 2. Once you see a bump try to become upright ASAP. 3. For greater Bumps I actually stand for a sec or 2 .(you can see that in review video. 4.I bought zana backrest and it's such an amazing product . Very relaxed body posture . . So solution will come as per your height and weight
Great.... Thank you so much for your help. It's very helpful for me. Sure. I'll definitely try to handle bar riser. By the way for a comfortable seat what do u suggest- modify existing tourer seat OR buy air/gel/honeycomb external cushion?
One big n one small meter console luks very ugly ...You are the first one who echoed my very first impression of the bike ... Ganda dikta hai ganda lagta hai wen compared to the TBX 350 dual symmetrical meters .. I just bought my SM650 ...astrall black fully loaded accesories worth 60k.. i got the windscreen covered with black vinyl wrapping to cover the ugly lukn big n small meters.. Tracker actually helps as theft alert device ..if its tuned n syncked properly with your phone ... As soon ss ignition gets on your phone gets notified ..also location of the bike ..you can keep checkng wen parked .. And the company designed paniers luk so wonderful ..you will fall in love with your bike ...they are expensive .at 24k. They must provide spares of paniers if dey get damaged ... Regarding ethics wat you said is true ... They have made this design decision with fully loaded accesories.. only den it gets the luk of an expensive cruiser ...may be to cut cost n make available at lower price they have removed or redesigned a economical version ...even the foot pegs cost you 5700/-.. but only then you get that grace of a premium bike ...costed me 5lac ...with out the modified exhaust. n i dont intend to change any time sooner.sahi hai jo gadi ke saat aayi hai
You are absolutely right . I also accessoried it fully with almost every accessories possible .I waited for these panniers for so long and at the end bought trip machine leather panniers (which gives retro look ) .bought a sissy bar from auto engina which is best available design and is very good quality.waiting for a 12 inch ape hangers to compete the look . Do share you motorcycle picture would love to see . Insta id @spike_paul
From Italy. I'd like to undestand all pros and bads . Why not english subs? RE Is having big sales also in Europe, your experiences would be very precious. I own a super Meteor since 2000 km and had only a problem with a sudden switch off maybe because of too low RPM while I was asking lots of Nm riding uphill. Maybe. A RPM meter would help much more than a tripper! Does anybody have had similar experience?
TH-cam didn't give option to add English subtitles. Most of us didn't face any such issue of sudden switchoff (we have a super meteor rider group on WhatsApp) I can add you as well if you DM me your number on Instagram (Spike_paul) . And yes rpm reading should be present but it's not
Based on my experience of riding air cooled engines above 650 cc ( 650 .iron 883 and 1800 cc ) . It is heating very normal just don't wear shorts and ride . Quite manageable and enjoyable in winters
Any naked bike design will have terrible heating issues with higher cc engine because engine is completely exposed and naked between your thighs unlike fully faired bikes where you feel the heat in your ankles mostly. The average car out there has 1000 cc engine which gets so hot that no one dares to touch it until it cools down, so what do you think will happen when a 650 cc engine is resting between your thighs?? It's bound to make you feel uncomfortable , there's a reason why scooters were invented. You don't need a clutch and over heating engine always, there are times when a simple low cc scooter acts more convenient ( bumper to bumper traffic ).
I am having lower back pain since few years. I really get irritated with the bumpy roads. Can you please suggest which bike to buy? Himalayan 450 or Super Meteor 650? Anyone seeing this comment can respond back..
This is a nice short sweet and genuine review.. ❤️ I truly appreciate your efforts.. I loved the overall make of this motorcycle; and for the price they are offering this is superb (I took a test ride only).. I am hesitant in buying another RE after I bought my RE Thunderbird in 2018 .. There was awful post sale service (Shreya, Telibag, Lucknow).. They denied service on prepaid coupons and refused to sale spare parts without service.. My complaints to RE were of no avail.. I am sure RE's post sale service has improved as you had mentioned but probably that still depends on the dealership... I bought my next bike in 2022 "Yezdi adventure" which I found to be much better in terms of power and features when compared to the then "RE Himalayan"... There is no competitors of RE in terms of fan following; but RE needs to scrutinize their dealerships. There are other similarly priced faster machines in India now 😊 Anyway, once again, congratulations on the great review
Thakyou so kuch for amazing words. Royal Enfield has improved a lot after 2018 (they are capturing international market with new engines ) Yezdi adventure is a great bike for highways but trust me himalayan is amazing in mountains and can't be matched with any other bike because of low end torque .née Himalayan 450 is super amazing .if you get time do give it a try .you won't regret it . Happy riding brother
I'm also a proud Owner of SM650 and definitely this ain't perfect but still it's a huge VFM and overall best 650CC bike in India. I loved and agreed with all your point and I personally feel like they should have provided the console (a lot bigger) like they have implemeted on the new Himalayan 450 and Tripper is such a joke I showed it to th service center guys I was at SVC and I try to navigate their adress being there it was showing me to drive 2.1Km 🤣even 1 SVC guy started laughing and said isne to kuichh aur hi nasha kiya hai lagta hai... Meanwhile bro wasnted to ask about the Spark plug I also saw previously some people posted they got replaced for free but here SVC said they have no updates on it so, can you tell me was this update meant for every bike or only to some? And also for Chain sprocket by odo is almost 7800km now till now I didn't faced this issue but I'm worried it'll come sooner or later and as me and every SM owner was waiting for the solution they bluntly launched SG650 without any updates on Sprocet I have heard people saying that has been resolved in SG650 and same chain sproket can be kater installed in SM650 and it won't create this issue but still more than a year now an Official statement would have been nicer. Also I wanted to ask don't you got issue with brakes? Many people claimed they got completely warn out in 5-6k km mine got at around 7500km and damn they are a lot expensive I was like whattt?? That much? Even Meteor's brake pads is like peanuts infront of SM I don't know why they are charging soo much for them and I got after market Brake pads (both R&F) and costed me around 2200/- with shipping and they are I can say 90-95% as OEM.
I also have a funny incident with trip navigator and I think 1. With direction and audio in helmet can be helpful 2. Most important point is they are by default on motorcycle mode and google always take small unconventional routes for motorcycles . If we can make it to car mode in app then trip navigator will show maps as per car (I faced this issue when I was on nh 8 and tripper wanted me to step out of the highway on every flyover till Delhi ) it was frustrating . Regarding sprocket it’s 7000km and might last till 10k . Same case with breaks (for breaks I follow the same logic less I apply less it will wear out ) . Royal Enfield is more like a brand of our country and it makes us proud when it is sold outside India and is appreciated .
My brother is the owner of 650 and just hit 700km. He is complaining some tik tik sound in the engine. So is it normal in your 650 too? And on more noticeable thing is Gas is blasting while opening the fuel cap, do you have this issue ?
1st service has mandatory tapet adjustment and they will correct it if sound is abnormal .nothing to worry about .Regarding blasting : Try to avoid full tank at high altitude or due to pressure difference this sound can come try not to have full tank for few thousand kms.
i did faced the same tank problem due to which my bike also stopped multiple times showing obd sensor light and once the fuel lid is opened it regained its start phase. i complained 3-4 times and the bike was toed thrice to address this issue. it was resolved changing the air pipe in the tank but after that the fuel meter got displaced and fuel reading shown was faulty and it was also replaced in other visits to service center. do you have an issue with o2 sensor after every wash????
5:55 are bhai RE acknowledge to karta hey but service nahi deta na hi thik response. Overall bat kar raha hu. Sayad ap video banate is liye change kar Diya hoga but TH-cam bhara pada hey RE k service issue ko lekar.
Mujhe jo personally lagta he . Agar koi problem aati he toh sabse pehle service center me raise karo issue . Fir officials ko mail and tab bhi satisfactory answer naa mile then use power of media(youtube and reels) . In step me koi bhi company sunegi . Ek professional mail me kaafi power hoti he . I am a lawyer by profession . I don't like jab log directly youtube pe video daalte he . Vo galat he . AND SABSE IMOORTANT BAAT . KOI BHI CKMAPNY EXTERNAP ACCESSORIES ALLOW NAI KARTI AND RE Ke owners usually (dual horn after market aux .silencer change karwa lete he ) fir company legally bound nai rehti sai karne ke liye . @mehulnakrani

Durability wise need to be tested .
@@motomoksh please continue to do so.. you have a distinct style that will reach many! And I will watch your video for sure. I do agree that when they advertise the content a company as big as RE should keep true to it!
@@zahedhossain7795 congratulation on that you will love it for sure . Do check spark plug cover design while taking delivery .it must be new design .If not do get it changed
I was charged Rs. 450/- for a pair of spark plug cover replacement. They even took away the old pair for R&D much against my wishes for future use. Free spark plug cover replacement indeed!
If they are charging then they have no right to take old unit . Mine was replaced free of cost so they had right to take the old one . You should have argued the same

Hi,
I'm planning for a new bike confused in between himalayan 450 and Super Meteor 650. I know it's odd to compare an ADV with a cruiser. I'm receiving different opinions from friends and family.
Requirement:
1. Need a bike for family of 3(Me,wife and a baby)- received comments that himalayan pillion seat height space will be bit difficult for wife and baby.
Suggested super meteor celestial variant as seat is wider than other two and backrest is provided.
2. Very minimal off road use. More city and highways. - Suggested super meteor since it's good for highway rides.
3. Looking for daily commute to office and home. - bit sceptical about engine heat in city traffic and heard that meteor chainspoket and back breakpads doesn't last morethan 3k kms.
Appreciate your suggestion/Opinion.
Thanks in Advance 😊
See. Super Meteor is very much mod friendly (you can make it bagger . Chopper. Customize is as per your need .
Pillion: I don't find any bike as pillion friendly as charm of riding a motorcycle alone is next level .
With kid I won't suggest you to ride on a bike (trippling) .it's very risky .
1. RE 1st set of bikes always has some issues .even himalayan will get issues and we will see that in next 2 months. Bust these issues are not a deal breaker (not a major issue few minor one ).
Now moving to your choice :

2. If highway is your style of riding then both bikes are equally fun to ride.
3. City ride I personally feel super meteor has better road presence and can be taken out for office and some drinks .
4.himalayan however looks like you are always going for a tour . (Looks better with proper gear and all).
5. Go and take test ride for both bikes . (I lobe cruiser as it suits my style of riding and personality) . Test ride will make everything clear .

Price isse kam kabi nai hogi . I still remember Maine 2012 me 118626 me thunder bird twin spark li thi . It's pure metal and with time and inflation proce will increase
Thanks, I've booked the bike. Just a question, how long did RE take to deliver your bike? For now they've given me a waiting time of 2 months
It's was launched on 16th jan 23 .I booked on 17th jan 23 and got delivery in last week of March. At present you will get it delivered in 2 months for sure
Will inceptor 650 have same amazing ride quality?? Do they have same engine??
Same engine but different characters.

2. Once you see a bump try to become upright ASAP.
3. For greater Bumps I actually stand for a sec or 2 .(you can see that in review video.
4.I bought zana backrest and it's such an amazing product . Very relaxed body posture .
.
So solution will come as per your height and weight
Great....
Thank you so much for your help. It's very helpful for me.
Sure. I'll definitely try to handle bar riser.
By the way for a comfortable seat what do u suggest- modify existing tourer seat OR buy air/gel/honeycomb external cushion?
@@Aabhi244 go for external cushion
@@motomoksh thank you I'll try..
Hope this problem soon sort out.
One big n one small meter console luks very ugly ...You are the first one who echoed my very first impression of the bike ... Ganda dikta hai ganda lagta hai wen compared to the TBX 350 dual symmetrical meters ..
I just bought my SM650 ...astrall black fully loaded accesories worth 60k.. i got the windscreen covered with black vinyl wrapping to cover the ugly lukn big n small meters..
Tracker actually helps as theft alert device ..if its tuned n syncked properly with your phone ... As soon ss ignition gets on your phone gets notified ..also location of the bike ..you can keep checkng wen parked ..
And the company designed paniers luk so wonderful ..you will fall in love with your bike ...they are expensive .at 24k. They must provide spares of paniers if dey get damaged ...
Regarding ethics wat you said is true ... They have made this design decision with fully loaded accesories.. only den it gets the luk of an expensive cruiser ...may be to cut cost n make available at lower price they have removed or redesigned a economical version ...even the foot pegs cost you 5700/-.. but only then you get that grace of a premium bike ...costed me 5lac ...with out the modified exhaust. n i dont intend to change any time sooner.sahi hai jo gadi ke saat aayi hai
You are absolutely right . I also accessoried it fully with almost every accessories possible .I waited for these panniers for so long and at the end bought trip machine leather panniers (which gives retro look ) .bought a sissy bar from auto engina which is best available design and is very good quality.waiting for a 12 inch ape hangers to compete the look . Do share you motorcycle picture would love to see . Insta id @spike_paul
From Italy. I'd like to undestand all pros and bads . Why not english subs? RE Is having big sales also in Europe, your experiences would be very precious. I own a super Meteor since 2000 km and had only a problem with a sudden switch off maybe because of too low RPM while I was asking lots of Nm riding uphill. Maybe. A RPM meter would help much more than a tripper! Does anybody have had similar experience?
TH-cam didn't give option to add English subtitles. Most of us didn't face any such issue of sudden switchoff (we have a super meteor rider group on WhatsApp) I can add you as well if you DM me your number on Instagram (Spike_paul) . And yes rpm reading should be present but it's not
It's been 5 months for me and i am loving it more❤
Yes . One of its kind motorcycle in India
Thank you
You're welcome
Best variant kaunsa hai buy karne ke liye..
I am bit confused
Looks wise guys for base astral black and modify it later
Low ground clearance is not an issue, it is a choice. By your riding style @9:53, you should've purchased a Himalayan.
I am planning a ride to south India and one trip to Jaiselmer . Super meteor will shine at those places
@@motomoksh ride safe brother!
Bhai one doubt apne ess gadi ko ladhak leke gaye the... Pani mai chalaya tha?? Did it stall?? I m.asking bz exhaust is low na esliye
No issue as such . Ek jageh atki this for good 5 mins but ruki nai

Heating issues? Please explain
Based on my experience of riding air cooled engines above 650 cc ( 650 .iron 883 and 1800 cc ) . It is heating very normal just don't wear shorts and ride . Quite manageable and enjoyable in winters
No abnormal heating issues . It is heating like a 650 cc air cooled engine should heat .
Any naked bike design will have terrible heating issues with higher cc engine because engine is completely exposed and naked between your thighs unlike fully faired bikes where you feel the heat in your ankles mostly. The average car out there has 1000 cc engine which gets so hot that no one dares to touch it until it cools down, so what do you think will happen when a 650 cc engine is resting between your thighs?? It's bound to make you feel uncomfortable , there's a reason why scooters were invented. You don't need a clutch and over heating engine always, there are times when a simple low cc scooter acts more convenient ( bumper to bumper traffic ).
I am having lower back pain since few years. I really get irritated with the bumpy roads. Can you please suggest which bike to buy? Himalayan 450 or Super Meteor 650? Anyone seeing this comment can respond back..
Go for himalayan 450 . Cruiser bike can lead to lower back pain because of posture and bad Roads.
Rear Pioneer is now available in the App to customise
Yes it is .but I have already purchased trip machine panniers after waiting for so long
This is a nice short sweet and genuine review.. ❤️ I truly appreciate your efforts..
I loved the overall make of this motorcycle; and for the price they are offering this is superb (I took a test ride only)..
I am hesitant in buying another RE after I bought my RE Thunderbird in 2018 .. There was awful post sale service (Shreya, Telibag, Lucknow).. They denied service on prepaid coupons and refused to sale spare parts without service.. My complaints to RE were of no avail.. I am sure RE's post sale service has improved as you had mentioned but probably that still depends on the dealership...
I bought my next bike in 2022 "Yezdi adventure" which I found to be much better in terms of power and features when compared to the then "RE Himalayan"...
There is no competitors of RE in terms of fan following; but RE needs to scrutinize their dealerships. There are other similarly priced faster machines in India now 😊
Anyway, once again, congratulations on the great review
Thakyou so kuch for amazing words. Royal Enfield has improved a lot after 2018 (they are capturing international market with new engines )
Yezdi adventure is a great bike for highways but trust me himalayan is amazing in mountains and can't be matched with any other bike because of low end torque .née Himalayan 450 is super amazing .if you get time do give it a try .you won't regret it .
Happy riding brother
I'm also a proud Owner of SM650 and definitely this ain't perfect but still it's a huge VFM and overall best 650CC bike in India. I loved and agreed with all your point and I personally feel like they should have provided the console (a lot bigger) like they have implemeted on the new Himalayan 450 and Tripper is such a joke I showed it to th service center guys I was at SVC and I try to navigate their adress being there it was showing me to drive 2.1Km 🤣even 1 SVC guy started laughing and said isne to kuichh aur hi nasha kiya hai lagta hai... Meanwhile bro wasnted to ask about the Spark plug I also saw previously some people posted they got replaced for free but here SVC said they have no updates on it so, can you tell me was this update meant for every bike or only to some? And also for Chain sprocket by odo is almost 7800km now till now I didn't faced this issue but I'm worried it'll come sooner or later and as me and every SM owner was waiting for the solution they bluntly launched SG650 without any updates on Sprocet I have heard people saying that has been resolved in SG650 and same chain sproket can be kater installed in SM650 and it won't create this issue but still more than a year now an Official statement would have been nicer. Also I wanted to ask don't you got issue with brakes? Many people claimed they got completely warn out in 5-6k km mine got at around 7500km and damn they are a lot expensive I was like whattt?? That much? Even Meteor's brake pads is like peanuts infront of SM I don't know why they are charging soo much for them and I got after market Brake pads (both R&F) and costed me around 2200/- with shipping and they are I can say 90-95% as OEM.
I also have a funny incident with trip navigator and I think 1. With direction and audio in helmet can be helpful 2. Most important point is they are by default on motorcycle mode and google always take small unconventional routes for motorcycles . If we can make it to car mode in app then trip navigator will show maps as per car (I faced this issue when I was on nh 8 and tripper wanted me to step out of the highway on every flyover till Delhi ) it was frustrating . Regarding sprocket it’s 7000km and might last till 10k . Same case with breaks (for breaks I follow the same logic less I apply less it will wear out ) . Royal Enfield is more like a brand of our country and it makes us proud when it is sold outside India and is appreciated .
@@motomoksh appreciates your comment ❤️ and for navigation yes I've mounted a phone holder and using that only.
Mast review karta tum
greatly put video thanks...

My brother is the owner of 650 and just hit 700km. He is complaining some tik tik sound in the engine. So is it normal in your 650 too? And on more noticeable thing is Gas is blasting while opening the fuel cap, do you have this issue ?
1st service has mandatory tapet adjustment and they will correct it if sound is abnormal .nothing to worry about .Regarding blasting : Try to avoid full tank at high altitude or due to pressure difference this sound can come try not to have full tank for few thousand kms.
I didn't face any such issues .
i did faced the same tank problem due to which my bike also stopped multiple times showing obd sensor light and once the fuel lid is opened it regained its start phase. i complained 3-4 times and the bike was toed thrice to address this issue. it was resolved changing the air pipe in the tank but after that the fuel meter got displaced and fuel reading shown was faulty and it was also replaced in other visits to service center. do you have an issue with o2 sensor after every wash????
5:55 are bhai RE acknowledge to karta hey but service nahi deta na hi thik response. Overall bat kar raha hu. Sayad ap video banate is liye change kar Diya hoga but TH-cam bhara pada hey RE k service issue ko lekar.
But I liked your video.
@@mehulnakranithankyou so much
Mujhe jo personally lagta he .
Agar koi problem aati he toh sabse pehle service center me raise karo issue . Fir officials ko mail and tab bhi satisfactory answer naa mile then use power of media(youtube and reels) . In step me koi bhi company sunegi . Ek professional mail me kaafi power hoti he . I am a lawyer by profession .
I don't like jab log directly youtube pe video daalte he . Vo galat he .
AND SABSE IMOORTANT BAAT . KOI BHI CKMAPNY EXTERNAP ACCESSORIES ALLOW NAI KARTI AND RE Ke owners usually (dual horn after market aux .silencer change karwa lete he ) fir company legally bound nai rehti sai karne ke liye . @mehulnakrani

Can a person who is 5.3 feet tall reach the flat-feet ground level on royal enfield super meteor 650?
I think yes on plains .but he must avoid going to mountains ⛰️. Best is take a test ride (for cruiser tip toe is not a good option one must plant his feet properly )
excellent review dude
Much appreciated! Will share one more video on 1 year ownership . Lots of new things
I liked your review and the style!
I have one question, how are the bikology panniers?
Thankyou so much .this is my 1st video on youtube .
I Will be uploading accessories video tomorrow 9 am . Please have a look as it will cover bykology accessories as well.
Bykology panniers :I personally like the design and looks wise they are the best looking after market panniers available and I am sure quality will be top notch as I have seen there place in mohali and they are dedicated and build premium products . Durability wise need to be tested .
@@motomoksh please continue to do so.. you have a distinct style that will reach many!
And I will watch your video for sure.
I do agree that when they advertise the content a company as big as RE should keep true to it!
@@motomoksh also I am expecting my super metor delivery in a week or two :-)
@@zahedhossain7795 congratulation on that you will love it for sure . Do check spark plug cover design while taking delivery .it must be new design .If not do get it changed
@@motomoksh thanks. I did not know this! I’ll keep in mind! Also waiting for your next video 👍
Isko sambalne ke liye kitna weight hona chahiye.

I was charged Rs. 450/- for a pair of spark plug cover replacement. They even took away the old pair for R&D much against my wishes for future use. Free spark plug cover replacement indeed!
If they are charging then they have no right to take old unit . Mine was replaced free of cost so they had right to take the old one . You should have argued the same
Maja aa gya bhai bike leker I love this sm 650
Bhai 30 ke avraj deti h
Or 150 + bhe vibration nahi karti
Yes . Bohot hi shaandar bike he
It’s not te good On-The-Go bad and the ugly it’s more like lo bueno lo malo y lo feo becaus it spoken in indi
