Bro..I've this bike since last 4 and half year. Thanks for compiling this, but this is one of the best bike in terms of look and performance (stability, breaking, suspension, cornering) out there and truly a head turner, as if you've taken out your 200Kg of beast on road.

We all know that thunderbird or RE bike is not best bike ever produced. But most RE lovers found LOVE on this RE bike. Because of - 1. Looks. 2. Dhak dhak sound. 3. Originality. 4. Memory. Those who were not into it, leave us alone. Bark into other production bikes.
problems that I face: ® Instrument Cluster Issue ® Rear Brake issue at times...quiet frequently. And sometimes feels lile almost not braking effect. And sometimes rear wheel becomes tighten due to piston problems. Due to release and holding issue. ® Heavy maintainence😨 ® Auto Start issue. ® Queit sad thing is we cannot cruise atleast at 100 kph. ® Front Fork issue...sometimes oil leak(hydraulic). ® Front disc got bend and slightly also rear. ® Sometimes the rear wheel bearings can go off if ridden on totally rough bumps or surfaces. ® Chain issue..can break if wheel angle is slightly deflected. Harms chain sproket and engine sproket and chain link damaging too. ® Always clutch wire replacing issue. Need to change every 3 ti 4 months for smaller cable guage. And if bigger guage cable means every 8 to 12 months. ® Heavy vibration. ® Rusting if exhaust system..especially stock. ® Lack of traction at immediate braking.
First suggestion if you have not used/experienced the bike don't give reviews. I have been using RE Thunderbird 350 since 2013 and here are my inputs.: 1. Self-Start : Works perfectly. My bike self start bearing got damaged after 4 years. I guess its reasonable period. Note after bike wash never don't do a self start immediately, let the bike dry. 2. Vibrations: Absolutely no vibrations till 100 kph. Even mirror doesn't shake at all. That is the good thing I liked personally when compared to Classic 350. if you are using stock silencer.Other silencers make more sound can create vibrations. Secondly check your engine tuning, if it is not proper it will create vibrations. 3. Speed: This is 350cc and has slow-pick . But give good speed on highways. But its 180kg and gives mileage of 44 to 45km per liter in city. What more do you want. Name a bike with 180kg which runs faster and gives 42-45 km mileage in city.If you need pickup you must go for 500cc but compromise with 35km per liter. 4. Rusting: You are not fully correct. I am using since 2013 and hardly faced rusting.No rusting on foot rest as you said. The places people I have faced rusting are as below : a) Chain (as its open. RE should work on it). But if you are lubricating it well it is avoided at least I didn't face. I use 90 grade gear oil for lubrication. b) Silencer bolts and junction point. Its more prone to rust. c) Horns plates. RE should use better steel for this. d) Beneath the seats, Battery box and tool box. Its mainly because water goes inside and we don't clean there. This should be improved by RE. 5. Fuel Gauge Meter: Agree. This is the worst part in RE Thunderbird. Here are the drawbacks: A) Gauge meter shows correct reading no problem. But The rubber buttons stops working after 1 year or continuous usage. B) The Gauge meter sits on a plastic base which if breaks you have to change entire gauge which costs 5500 to 6000. Not durable and costly spare part. RE has NOT done good job here. Note: The gauge meter shakes its not a defect. Its sits on rubber and plastic base and its flexibility avoids breakage if bikes encounters an accident.If it was stiff it will break easily. I personally liked old gauge which was metallic. 6. Brakes: Talk about New RE why are you talking about Drum brakes. Its Disk breaks are good can't say the best. This is my first bike and with both disk breaks. I felt like applying a cycle breaks without any risk. NO skidding even when i applied it during rainy seasons. In rains the bike might skid towards right or left a bit if you are in high speed and due to water but bike never crashed. And always apply both breaks together. I felt quite comfortable. Some mechanics don't know how to repair so they screw-up the settings. But RE can should come up with better design / better quality than what it is. Note: Keep watching the brake oil quantity (rear and front) once in a month. Many people don't know about this. If oil is not there air goes in the brake and it will not apply and you may even have to change entire brake kit. 7. Maintenance: Not only bikes but human body also needs maintenance, ha ha. Its just a machine. You keep the bike clean and lubricated, it works just smooth. So you just makes no sense here. Every 3000 kms/ 3 months doing a servicing / oiling / tightening of bolts etc are normal servicing. I guess you don't ride bike at all. There are some problems (as with other bikes) if you really want to know. Ride it first :)
Bro, I own this bike. Let me clear you something, 1. I'm using it for about 2.5 years, no self problem. 2. Vibration is the reason we buy this kind of bike.. I feel connected to my bike and enjoy the vibration. 3. Instrument cluster works fine except the trip button. And a good rider keeps it in mind that what range he's going to get with the fuel he put in. I get 40kmpl so I know when it's going to get empty. Although, it has around 2ltr reserve so no big issue. 4. Rusting and maintenance depends on how you keep your bike and your riding style. My bike's previous owner clocked 26000km in 6 years and I clocked 19000km in just 2.5 years, no major issues.
He's pretty right most parts.... I've had a 2013 Thunderbird..... While riding in groups even the RE people didn't want to ride it and openely telling it's bad Vibration is is pretty accurate Plus the rust issue is correct... RE will charge extra for. Some bs coat and your bike will still rest Worst part their service stations are filled with inexperienced staff always. Their solution for every problem - replace But for some reason despite all these I still love this bike
Not to buy" thunderbird" then Bhai which is the best bike in this price tag better than thunderbird? "Not your bike" interesting ...so you shared some points that you never faced. And one more question do you have any riding experience in RE bikes? self start problem. Two year after problem? Yes ofcourse Wear and tear will damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of normal wear or rough use without proper interval. (And interested to know that how much time your friend has changed the self start system or bearing on that bike?) Vibration. You are big zero in case of riding experience with RE bikes. The sweet spot of thunder bird is 75 to 85 kmph(aprox) at that speed this machine is stable and calm"you said pagal" please at least ride a well maintained RE Thunderbird in that speed before this kind idiotic comment. and in this price tag can you suggest a bike without vibration above 85 kmph with this much stability? No power. Dear man this is not a sports bike or racing bike. Whether you are weighing 70 or 170kg the bike's initial pulling will be stable and constant without any struggle.It has a long stroke slow firing engine.This is because of an engine develops a slow revving or thumping characteristic which is contrary to what one would typically find in sports bikes which in one twist of the throttle vrooms up to 10-12,000 RPM while if you twist RE you will realize it will thump it's way to Max 4-5,000 rpm .Long stroke engine produces high torque at low rpm and but less power in high rpm.First you study the engine characters then comment. Rusting. Dam sure.If you keep the bike open to wether it will rust. Thunderbird is made by metal. Not plastic. Instrument cluster problem. Ok... how much time your friend changed instrument cluster in that bike you are commenting with? Can you show any brand without any defect in instrument cluster? Break problem. In 2019 both breaks are disc and ABS. If you hate RE bikes you always find problems on it. High maintenance. True may in RE Service Center guys like you are sitting at there.They don't know anything about this bike .If they try to fix something in your bike ...money will loot.
Your comment are too valuable . Even I thought of same things as like you . Thunderbird has a sweet ride at speed of 70 to 80 at 3000 rpm. These guys won't get that feel until they ride the chariot. Hope TH-cam makes every channel owners to make them pay for uploading videos online orelse many like him are just blabbering like him without even knowing what's the value of the product.
Hello friend I own a Thunderbird 350 from 2017 I didn't face any problem at all .Yar make a video on Thunderbird performance not disadvantages rust to yar Harley-Davidson me bhi ata hai n vo to ati bhi 10-12 lakh ke hai .yar rust to cars me bhi ata hai agar diyan na rakho .. As other said n all knows it's not a F-1 racing bike it's a Cruiser yar Harley me bhi Vibration issue hai bus 10 lakh kharch be ke baad koi BHI apni cheez ko galat Nahi kheta ...I ride Harley usme Royal Enfield se zada vibration hai take a test ride then u will know...
Harley only vibrates when the engine is idling, the vibration fades away when you even give a little throttle, whereas in any royal enfield UCE engine without the proper customisations, the vibrations just get worse, and Harley's never rust unless they are kept in contact with water and moistures for years, whereas an enfield ? Just a normal monsoon pass and you'll notice bit of rust during post monsoon, sure the extra buck you shed on harley is because of the quality of chrome, ride quality and mass of harley riders. Anyways, ride safe brother.
@@kingkishansoni I am using Thunderbird from last 3 year's without any rust... Bike ka agar asli showk hoga to Banda utna pyar se rakhhe ga... When ever I come back from Ride,I wash my bike same day or nest day without fail... To avoid rust Bike par long time tak kichad or mitti jamne na de.... timely wash kare...koi rust nahi lagega...
@@neutral1258 bro proper care? Or being your bike's slave? I get it that you love it but seriously? 350cc engine only churns out 19BHP ? Not a shauk but shock. Tell you what, get ceramic coating done to your bike, then no need to clean it everyday plus it protects your bike from everything. And agar me rude lagra, toh khud apni bike start krke dekho of the mirrors the vibrating. For the sake of safety. The only RE anyone should buy right now is the 650cc twin or wait for the cruiser.
@@kingkishansoni It's not about being slave of that bike... Mujhe Bike ka itna craze he ki I also love old mopeds likes M80 or simply bikes like CD100 and enjoy them. I have Thunderbird but still I have hot sold out my CD 100 and Splendor+. Brother is using Royal Enfield Standard from last 6 year's without any oil leakage issue.( Jo log ye bike sirf tashan me khurad lete he unhe ye sab problem ate he) Ceramic coating is a good idea but at least this point of time I don't need its...bahot achhe se maintained he... In future jarurat padi to pakka karvaunga. Yes I agree Mirror viberates but me ne jo after markit heavy crome mirror lagai he vo nahi hote. Powe chaya hota to KTM ya Pulsar leta...I also love these bike's.
See you just got my point bro, mirror aapne lagvaye he, royal Enfield apne R&D department se ye nahi karva sakta? And about coating , abhi hi karva lo, detailing ke saath bohot sahi lagegi. And i seriously would prefer Kawasaki over KTM's, they're good machines but lack build quality, especially the RC 390 which are now made in india.
I agree to all the points you mentioned. There is one most important point you missed in this. It’s clutch wire. It will not last more than 4 months. You need to keep changing it. I used to keep a spares clutch wire in tool box. Thank god I sold this bike.
India is great i have a thunderbird and i agree with every point he said... dont be blind followers guys😹 there’s alot available in market with better refinement and reliability
I am using this bike for more than 3 years and I totally disagree with all your points, 1. In the last 3 years never had an issue with Self-start, so this point is bogus I think 2. Vibration is there that I agree, but its not that much that you can't even bear that, its totally made of steel so I was prepared for this before purchasing this 3. Speed, yes If I have to go for speed I would never go for RE TB, it simply indicates your knowledge on bikes, I wanted a bike for Safe and slow drive not rush drive that's why I choose RE TB 4. Corrosion and rust didn't happen so far, disagreeing again 5. Break Issue, I disagree, I never felt that 6. High Maintenance? Seriously? totally disagree, only service charge and Mobil change on time
Absolutely @grey ash is correct... 70 to 85 there will be very smooth riding.. i love to ride my bike at exactly 80 which is best speed which i enjoys my ride..
All of such videos to discourage people not to buy Enfields are like smoking advertisements, no body cares...I love Royal Enfield. I'll definitely buy one in near future.
2016 Thunderbird 350 model me bhi rare tyre me disk braking hai.Sirf rare brakes apply Karo to weak hai lekin aap front and rare same time braking karo to best braking hai.
Bhai mere paas 2013 model hai break vibration ye vo loda lassan koi dikkat nahi h or ha disc brake 2019 may new nahi aaye 2013 se aa rahe hai, faaltu giri band kar bhai
I have a 2015 variant.. 1) I never replaced any baring.. 2) no vibration as in other RE models. 3) I guess for 350 Cc cruising bike 130 is a good speed. 4)No rusting.. The upper paint finishing layer gets off. Thats it. Anf leg guard corrosion... RE don't manufacture leg guards bro.. 5) ha instrument cluster has a problem. 6) bro mine is 2015 variant.and got double disk.. Dusra... I can understand that you don't have an idea how to apply disk brakes... I have never faced a problem with respect to breaks. 7) maintenance cost 2000 for a service.. You think that is costly.. Funny Bro... You should buy one .. Ride it for at least 6 months and then come back with a video..
I'm facing all the problems he said. I purchased this in second hand at 40k kilometres. All the points is said are spot on. Especially, starters, break, corrosion and replacement charges are huge. Mine is 2018 model
Very True.... I faced all the problems that you mentioned with my bike. I am ready to compromise with any of the problems but not with the BREAK failure. As you mentioned my break fail when i was driving at 110 KM/Hr speed but with God's grace i was able to manage and control the situation with front break. This break failure happen very often and because of fear i am forced to change BREAK PAD on every 3-4 months. This is a very serious note that Royal Enfiled should consider and fix it.
I have Thunderbird 350 since 2014, Self Still Working, No Rusting, I go till 130 km/h speed, Disk break exists since 2014 for both wheel. Except clutch plates and break shoe no other change in my bike.
Bhai it is very unfortunate...high speed I agree, not recommended...max 70 to 80 kmph. I bought this bike same colour two months back, after first service I left for Khardung La loaded....Almighty's Grace no issues all thru...had to change the Engine Oil at 2000kms.due to steep ghats...you have to keep peeping into the petrol tank if you want to top if full....it is not advised tofull the tank full in BS4 RE motobikes...I agree with a few of your points Bro. .the chain often had to be luricated..We used thin oil as we had to ride thru a couple of Water Crossings.....RE needs to pull up and improve its R and D guys.
I have been riding TB 350 since 2015. The main issues are vibrations and False neutral. You get used to it after some time. Aur sirf exhust bend pipe ko chodke aisi ek bhi cheej ko rust nahi pakdi hai ab tak. Speed chahne wale R15/ ktm kharide.. Our agar riding ka maza lena hai to Thunderbird. Ye bike 20 saal tak aisi hi rehegi....mere friend ke paas bullet std hai 26 saal purani....
I'm having this bike I faced 2 issues - 1. Speed - can't cruise more than 80 KMPH due to intense vibration. 2. one is of course vibration. i did 250 km today in one sitting, and after changing spokes to alloy vibration is lot more
A real RE lover will never ever consider this as a reasons not to buy it. We know that it vibrates beyond 80kmph But the real ecstasy comes only when you ride between 70 to 80kmph. The problem is RE reputation came down from the time it is rided by people who don't deserv it. # RE forever
I have been using this bike for more than 1 year, never faced these problems. Honestly every bike hs it's own genre and it a perfect bike in it's segment and genre. Being n owner of a RE TB, if you're thinking to buy it. Go for it.. 👍 #SuccessG
That's true, rusting is no. 1 , second suspension and shock absorber gets dragged. And rear disc break master cylinder get worse if hit with speed breaker or rock. Nice video. I bought Thunderbird 350 on 2015 but it's running with too high maintenance 👍

® Front disc got bend and slightly also rear.
® Sometimes the rear wheel bearings can go off if ridden on totally rough bumps or surfaces.
® Chain issue..can break if wheel angle is slightly deflected. Harms chain sproket and engine sproket and chain link damaging too.

I wanted to buy thunderbird but till the time ,i mean in 2020 but it was discontinued 😢😢 so i got ns
First suggestion if you have not used/experienced the bike don't give reviews.
I have been using RE Thunderbird 350 since 2013 and here are my inputs.:
1. Self-Start : Works perfectly. My bike self start bearing got damaged after 4 years. I guess its reasonable period. Note after bike wash never don't do a self start immediately, let the bike dry.

3. Speed: This is 350cc and has slow-pick . But give good speed on highways. But its 180kg and gives mileage of 44 to 45km per liter in city. What more do you want. Name a bike with 180kg which runs faster and gives 42-45 km mileage in city.If you need pickup you must go for 500cc but compromise with 35km per liter.
4. Rusting: You are not fully correct. I am using since 2013 and hardly faced rusting.No rusting on foot rest as you said.
The places people I have faced rusting are as below
:

I use 90 grade gear oil for lubrication.
b) Silencer bolts and junction point. Its more prone to rust.
c) Horns plates. RE should use better steel for this.
d) Beneath the seats, Battery box and tool box. Its mainly because water goes inside and we don't clean there. This should be improved by RE.
5. Fuel Gauge Meter: Agree. This is the worst part in RE Thunderbird. Here are the drawbacks:
A) Gauge meter shows correct reading no problem. But The rubber buttons stops working after 1 year or continuous usage.
B) The Gauge meter sits on a plastic base which if breaks you have to change entire gauge which costs 5500 to 6000. Not durable and costly spare part. RE has NOT done good job here.
Note: The gauge meter shakes its not a defect. Its sits on rubber and plastic base and its flexibility avoids breakage if bikes encounters an accident.If it was stiff it will break easily. I personally liked old gauge which was metallic.
6. Brakes: Talk about New RE why are you talking about Drum brakes. Its Disk breaks are good can't say the best. This is my first bike and with both disk breaks. I felt like applying a cycle breaks without any risk. NO skidding even when i applied it during rainy seasons. In rains the bike might skid towards right or left a bit if you are in high speed and due to water but bike never crashed. And always apply both breaks together. I felt quite comfortable.
Some mechanics don't know how to repair so they screw-up the settings. But RE can should come up with better design / better quality than what it is.
Note: Keep watching the brake oil quantity (rear and front) once in a month. Many people don't know about this. If oil is not there air goes in the brake and it will not apply and you may even have to change entire brake kit.
7. Maintenance: Not only bikes but human body also needs maintenance, ha ha. Its just a machine. You keep the bike clean and lubricated, it works just smooth. So you just makes no sense here. Every 3000 kms/ 3 months doing a servicing / oiling / tightening of bolts etc are normal servicing. I guess you don't ride bike at all.
There are some problems (as with other bikes) if you really want to know. Ride it first :)
I totally agree with you bro 👍
Bro, I own this bike. Let me clear you something,
1. I'm using it for about 2.5 years, no self problem.
2. Vibration is the reason we buy this kind of bike.. I feel connected to my bike and enjoy the vibration.
3. Instrument cluster works fine except the trip button. And a good rider keeps it in mind that what range he's going to get with the fuel he put in. I get 40kmpl so I know when it's going to get empty. Although, it has around 2ltr reserve so no big issue.
4. Rusting and maintenance depends on how you keep your bike and your riding style. My bike's previous owner clocked 26000km in 6 years and I clocked 19000km in just 2.5 years, no major issues.
Hazard light + Odo + speedo+ fuel guaze +double disk+ big tank + handlelock + comfortable seat +DRL + backrest puts TB Way ahead over Classic
Bhai tu Luna k layak hai ....uska review de
3:03 kutta dance krte hue nikal gya 😂😂😂
What observations salute to you 😂
Nice reply..haha
Kuch kaam nahi hai bhai tere pass isliye itna Tak vdo dekh rahe ho
He's pretty right most parts.... I've had a 2013 Thunderbird..... While riding in groups even the RE people didn't want to ride it and openely telling it's bad
Vibration is is pretty accurate
Plus the rust issue is correct... RE will charge extra for. Some bs coat and your bike will still rest
Worst part their service stations are filled with inexperienced staff always. Their solution for every problem - replace
But for some reason despite all these I still love this bike
Bro better you can make a video on TVS XL🤣🤣 suits you.
,true
Hahahhahq very well said bhai
🤣😂😂😂
lol
I didn't face any problem till now.
Thunderbird is a best bike.i won my bike from last 4 years.
100% I agree with u
Bhai ptle ho naa vibration jada feel hoga hi 😂🤣
Hello mahagyani.....which road has 140kmph speed allowed????.....
Not to buy" thunderbird" then Bhai which is the best bike in this price tag better than thunderbird?
"Not your bike" interesting ...so you shared some points that you never faced.
And one more question do you have any riding experience in RE bikes?
self start problem. Two year after problem? Yes ofcourse Wear and tear will damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of normal wear or rough use without proper interval. (And interested to know that how much time your friend has changed the self start system or bearing on that bike?)
Vibration. You are big zero in case of riding experience with RE bikes. The sweet spot of thunder bird is 75 to 85 kmph(aprox) at that speed this machine is stable and calm"you said pagal" please at least ride a well maintained RE Thunderbird in that speed before this kind idiotic comment.
and in this price tag can you suggest a bike without vibration above 85 kmph with this much stability?
No power. Dear man this is not a sports bike or racing bike. Whether you are weighing 70 or 170kg the bike's initial pulling will be stable and constant without any struggle.It has a long stroke slow firing engine.This is because of an engine develops a slow revving or thumping characteristic which is contrary to what one would typically find in sports bikes which in one twist of the throttle vrooms up to 10-12,000 RPM while if you twist RE you will realize it will thump it's way to Max 4-5,000 rpm .Long stroke engine produces high torque at low rpm and but less power in high rpm.First you study the engine characters then comment.
Rusting. Dam sure.If you keep the bike open to wether it will rust. Thunderbird is made by metal. Not plastic.
Instrument cluster problem. Ok... how much time your friend changed instrument cluster in that bike you are commenting with? Can you show any brand without any defect in instrument cluster?
Break problem. In 2019 both breaks are disc and ABS. If you hate RE bikes you always find problems on it.
High maintenance. True may in RE Service Center
guys like you are sitting at there.They don't know anything about this bike .If they try to fix something in your bike ...money will loot.
Your comment are too valuable . Even I thought of same things as like you . Thunderbird has a sweet ride at speed of 70 to 80 at 3000 rpm. These guys won't get that feel until they ride the chariot.
Hope TH-cam makes every channel owners to make them pay for uploading videos online orelse many like him are just blabbering like him without even knowing what's the value of the product.
Tu loha chalane layak n bhai to be very honest tu plastic chala
Hello friend
I own a Thunderbird 350 from 2017 I didn't face any problem at all .Yar make a video on Thunderbird performance not disadvantages rust to yar Harley-Davidson me bhi ata hai n vo to ati bhi 10-12 lakh ke hai .yar rust to cars me bhi ata hai agar diyan na rakho ..
As other said n all knows it's not a F-1 racing bike it's a Cruiser yar Harley me bhi Vibration issue hai bus 10 lakh kharch be ke baad koi BHI apni cheez ko galat Nahi kheta ...I ride Harley usme Royal Enfield se zada vibration hai take a test ride then u will know...
Harley only vibrates when the engine is idling, the vibration fades away when you even give a little throttle, whereas in any royal enfield UCE engine without the proper customisations, the vibrations just get worse, and Harley's never rust unless they are kept in contact with water and moistures for years, whereas an enfield ? Just a normal monsoon pass and you'll notice bit of rust during post monsoon, sure the extra buck you shed on harley is because of the quality of chrome, ride quality and mass of harley riders. Anyways, ride safe brother.

I am using Thunderbird from last 3 year's without any rust... Bike ka agar asli showk hoga to Banda utna pyar se rakhhe ga...
When ever I come back from Ride,I wash my bike same day or nest day without fail...
To avoid rust Bike par long time tak kichad or mitti jamne na de.... timely wash kare...koi rust nahi lagega...
@@neutral1258 bro proper care? Or being your bike's slave? I get it that you love it but seriously? 350cc engine only churns out 19BHP ? Not a shauk but shock. Tell you what, get ceramic coating done to your bike, then no need to clean it everyday plus it protects your bike from everything. And agar me rude lagra, toh khud apni bike start krke dekho of the mirrors the vibrating. For the sake of safety. The only RE anyone should buy right now is the 650cc twin or wait for the cruiser.
@@kingkishansoni
It's not about being slave of that bike...
Mujhe Bike ka itna craze he ki I also love old mopeds likes M80 or simply bikes like CD100 and enjoy them.
I have Thunderbird but still I have hot sold out my CD 100 and Splendor+.
Brother is using Royal Enfield Standard from last 6 year's without any oil leakage issue.( Jo log ye bike sirf tashan me khurad lete he unhe ye sab problem ate he)
Ceramic coating is a good idea but at least this point of time I don't need its...bahot achhe se maintained he... In future jarurat padi to pakka karvaunga.
Yes I agree Mirror viberates but me ne jo after markit heavy crome mirror lagai he vo nahi hote.
Powe chaya hota to KTM ya Pulsar leta...I also love these bike's.
See you just got my point bro, mirror aapne lagvaye he, royal Enfield apne R&D department se ye nahi karva sakta? And about coating , abhi hi karva lo, detailing ke saath bohot sahi lagegi. And i seriously would prefer Kawasaki over KTM's, they're good machines but lack build quality, especially the RC 390 which are now made in india.
Bro mere thunder bird 2012 ka model hai aabhi tak start button ka issue nhi aaya 🙏
When a Mobile wala reviews RE Thunderbird😁
I agree to all the points you mentioned. There is one most important point you missed in this. It’s clutch wire. It will not last more than 4 months. You need to keep changing it. I used to keep a spares clutch wire in tool box. Thank god I sold this bike.
Royal enfield ki bike kharidna aur maintain karna sabki Aukaat mei nhi hota.Leni hai to lo warna cycle hi chalao 😂
Very true
Hahahaha true bro
India is great i have a thunderbird and i agree with every point he said... dont be blind followers guys😹 there’s alot available in market with better refinement and reliability
I rode this bike and went like 90kmph no problem at all smooth as a butter ,it all depends how you keep the machine
I hv thunderbird... And hve some isuues with this bike.. Still i love my bike Royal Enfield .... 😍
I am using this bike for more than 3 years and I totally disagree with all your points,
1. In the last 3 years never had an issue with Self-start, so this point is bogus I think
2. Vibration is there that I agree, but its not that much that you can't even bear that, its totally made of steel so I was prepared for this before purchasing this
3. Speed, yes If I have to go for speed I would never go for RE TB, it simply indicates your knowledge on bikes, I wanted a bike for Safe and slow drive not rush drive that's why I choose RE TB
4. Corrosion and rust didn't happen so far, disagreeing again
5. Break Issue, I disagree, I never felt that
6. High Maintenance? Seriously? totally disagree, only service charge and Mobil change on time
Kitne paise mile burai karne ke mai 4years se use kar raha hu its totaly good
Have you ever ridden that bike?
The vibrations are present till 60 kmph, dies out at 70 to 85 kmph. Then increases there on after.
i bet he never rid the thunderbird 350 in his life and shows us a crappy and unmanaged thunderbird and talk shit about it. wow quality content 😂😂
@@gokulsrk has le royal enfield leke apna Rona chupa le ,asliyat hazam na hogi tuje😆😆😆
Absolutely @grey ash is correct... 70 to 85 there will be very smooth riding.. i love to ride my bike at exactly 80 which is best speed which i enjoys my ride..
He had only seven reason not buy but I had 700 reason to buy it and love it
Che gandi 🚳🚳🚳
I’m using thunderbird for over 10 years. Must tell you it’s really a steady, sturdy and comfortable bike.
This is one of the best bike
Using it for last 5 years and faced no problem at all
All of such videos to discourage people not to buy Enfields are like smoking advertisements, no body cares...I love Royal Enfield. I'll definitely buy one in near future.
Dost tere liye sirf scooty bni h..,🤸👻

2016 Thunderbird 350 model me bhi rare tyre me disk braking hai.Sirf rare brakes apply Karo to weak hai lekin aap front and rare same time braking karo to best braking hai.
Atleast 147km/hr top speed i have taken with maah thunderbird bro .
Congratulations 🎉 it's time to change your meter.

It’s been almost 8 years. Bike stills runs fanstastic
I have a 2015 variant..
1) I never replaced any baring..
2) no vibration as in other RE models.
3) I guess for 350 Cc cruising bike 130 is a good speed.
4)No rusting.. The upper paint finishing layer gets off. Thats it.
Anf leg guard corrosion... RE don't manufacture leg guards bro..
5) ha instrument cluster has a problem.
6) bro mine is 2015 variant.and got double disk..
Dusra... I can understand that you don't have an idea how to apply disk brakes... I have never faced a problem with respect to breaks.
7) maintenance cost 2000 for a service.. You think that is costly.. Funny Bro... You should buy one .. Ride it for at least 6 months and then come back with a video..
same with my bike thunder
wdia chl fe bike tuhzde
2015 modal
I'm facing all the problems he said. I purchased this in second hand at 40k kilometres. All the points is said are spot on. Especially, starters, break, corrosion and replacement charges are huge. Mine is 2018 model
But still most of the people buys royal enfield thunderbird 350cc 👍👍👍
I brought TB 350 on 2016 and seems all the points are valid... I have all the problems you mentioned bro
Very True.... I faced all the problems that you mentioned with my bike. I am ready to compromise with any of the problems but not with the BREAK failure. As you mentioned my break fail when i was driving at 110 KM/Hr speed but with God's grace i was able to manage and control the situation with front break. This break failure happen very often and because of fear i am forced to change BREAK PAD on every 3-4 months. This is a very serious note that Royal Enfiled should consider and fix it.
I have Thunderbird 350 since 2014, Self Still Working, No Rusting, I go till 130 km/h speed, Disk break exists since 2014 for both wheel. Except clutch plates and break shoe no other change in my bike.
Bhai it is very unfortunate...high speed I agree, not recommended...max 70 to 80 kmph.
I bought this bike same colour two months back, after first service I left for Khardung La loaded....Almighty's Grace no issues all thru...had to change the Engine Oil at 2000kms.due to steep ghats...you have to keep peeping into the petrol tank if you want to top if full....it is not advised tofull the tank full in BS4 RE motobikes...I agree with a few of your points Bro. .the chain often had to be luricated..We used thin oil as we had to ride thru a couple of Water Crossings.....RE needs to pull up and improve its R and D guys.
I've been riding the thunderbird since 2005 (AVL Engine), and In 2015 I bought a new Thunderbird 350 (UCE engine) I love them both.
In New Thunderbird 350x (tbx) the company Royal Enfield has overcome these problems which are facing in Thunderbird 350 but nice vedio ✌️👍
I have been riding TB 350 since 2015. The main issues are vibrations and False neutral. You get used to it after some time.
Aur sirf exhust bend pipe ko chodke aisi ek bhi cheej ko rust nahi pakdi hai ab tak. Speed chahne wale R15/ ktm kharide.. Our agar riding ka maza lena hai to Thunderbird.
Ye bike 20 saal tak aisi hi rehegi....mere friend ke paas bullet std hai 26 saal purani....
RE not meant for kids who complain about vibrations...n you are not suppposed to hit 140 kmph in Indian Roads 😂
RE bachon ke chalaney ki cheez nahin hai,,,mooli ke pronthey khaney wale kya chalaengey isko...LOL LOL
Merre papa ke pass hai bike ye...Jab bhi wo atte hain, merreko lagta hai ye bike mujhe pyar se dekh rhi hai..Like a dad
Classic 350 also giving cracking sound in engine... But mechanics are saying that is common. I think Royal enfield lost its standards
I'm having this bike I faced 2 issues - 1. Speed - can't cruise more than 80 KMPH due to intense vibration. 2. one is of course vibration. i did 250 km today in one sitting, and after changing spokes to alloy vibration is lot more
Bhai 120 bhot hai its for crusing not for racing. You can go for dominaar 400 also
Have this bike on 500cc since 9 years and she is the love of my life.

A real RE lover will never ever consider this as a reasons not to buy it. We know that it vibrates beyond 80kmph But the real ecstasy comes only when you ride between 70 to 80kmph. The problem is RE reputation came down from the time it is rided by people who don't deserv it.

I have been using this bike for more than 1 year, never faced these problems.
Honestly every bike hs it's own genre and it a perfect bike in it's segment and genre.

Yes I know it will vibrate more and will have lesser resale value than classic 350 but while driving you will get the "Boss like feel"
Vibration toh mast hai super bike ki takkar ki hai bhai is bike ka koi comparison nhi hai

That's true, rusting is no. 1 , second suspension and shock absorber gets dragged. And rear disc break master cylinder get worse if hit with speed breaker or rock. Nice video. I bought Thunderbird 350 on 2015 but it's running with too high maintenance 👍
