Message:
Plan on attending one of our great events this summer. We are planning
two Royal Enfield family reunions and we will be having an open
house/summer picnic here at headquarters in Minnesota.
Here is our current list of events in chronological order:
June 23-25 Royal Enfield Summer Picnic and Open House We want to
show off our new facility and give us a chance to meet more of our
customers. The picnic will be held in our home town of Faribault
Minnesota and will include tours, a great ride in the Mississppi
river country, technical information, contests, food and great discounts
on our parts and accessories including free freight for anything
you decide that you can't live without. The tentative schedule is:
Arrive Friday June 23, Ride, contests, tours, tech sessions etc
Saturday June 24, and home on Sunday June 25. There is no fee for
the event, food on Friday and Saturday evenings will be provided.
Lots of lodging/camping is available in the area. Give us a call
at 800-201-7472 for more information. All bikes and brands are welcome.
Reno Royal Enfield Family Reunion Held on Labor Day weekend in Reno
Nevada. Some unbelievably beautiful rides in the Reno/Lake Tahoe
area are planned as well as food, fellowship and fun. This has been
a very popular event in the past. Pre-registration is required.
Call Guy at: (775) 673-9611 to register and for more information.
You can see a wonderful slideshowfrom last years reunions here.

Note: Tait from our office has gone to this
event since its inception and
has had so much fun that he has permanent "dibs" on
it.
The "Original" Royal Enfield Family Reunion/RALLY
ON THE RIVER 2006 The Midwest Royal Enfield Family Reunion will
be held in September AGAIN this year. Back by popular demand the
rally will be held the last weekend in September (9-29, 30 &
10-1, 2006). The location will be the same as always Green's Campground
and Canoe rental in Steelville, MO. We will once again be joined
by the Moto Guzzi National
Owners Club and the combined event is now being called the RALLY
ON THE RIVER 2006 to eliminate some of the confusion caused by more
than one event called the Family Reunion. Here is a link to somepictures
of last years rally. More details to
follow and watch for info at www.interstatemotorcycles.com email: bdunkus@fidnet.co.
Note: I have gone to all of these events in
Steelville and it is well worth
the trip. The riding is beautiful and Bill and Mary from Interstate
and Skip and his family from Greens are the consumate hosts!

Topic: exhaust and jetting
Message: I am thinking about buying the 50's style exhaust
kit and K&N filter. Is the exhaust easy to install? Or should it be
done by dealer? Also would like to know anyone's rejet sizes after installing
this kind of kit.
email: mmoore@grpress.com
Reply: Both
of these items are easy to install. You will need to re-jet your carburetor.
In general a stock carb in this configuration will need a main jet somewhere
between 115-130 and a pilot jet between 25-30. There is not way to tell
exactly because each bike and environment is different. We do sell a
jetting kit which gives you a selection of jets.

Topic: I can't find a real product review.
Message: I am having a heck of a time finding product
reviews on Royal Enfield from people that own them. I would really like
to see a place that has a full review done from sombody who has had one
of these for longer than a couple of years, who can give a full description
on overall reliabity, problems that they've had, overall satisfaction,
etc. Cannot find anything on consumer reports website.
Any suggestions on where I can find something like this would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks

Topic: 1994 Enfield 500?
Message: Hi All,
I'm new to Enfield motorcycles and am completely in lust over them. I've
ridden many other bikes before, but am somewhat determined to buy an Enfield.
There is a dealership near me with a 1994 Enfield, with barely over 500
miles on the clock. They want $2700.
Is the 1994 as good as the new bikes? Is there any reason to believe the
miles are too low? Is this price decent (the new ones go for $4900)? Anything
in general to watch for on these bikes?
I would greatly appreciate any info you all might provide!

Message: I've owned a variety of bikes over the years,
mostly Suzuki cruisers, and currently ride a Victory V92C.
I've toyed with buying a military spec Royal Enfield since I saw one at
the yearly motorcycle event in St. Louis.
I have not worked on a bike since my 1978 Suzuki GS750, but maintenance
does not frighten me.
However, I have read many mixed reviews over the years, mostly concerning
reliability and service. So, should I take the plunge? Around here, everyone
has a big American cruiser and I'm a little tired of fitting in, you know
what I mean?

Topic: Electra (X) Color Availability
Message: In the March Newsletter, the colors listed for
the Electra were listed as red, green, silver, and black. In the April
newsletter, there is a mention of four colors and a link that directs
you to royalenfield.com Electra page. There is no black color option there.
Will black be available on the Electra afterall? The black Electra was
THE Electra that made it's US debut in Dec. '05...
email: la_ley733@yahoo.com
Reply: The
truth is that the Electra comes in 5 colors. The factory website is
not accurate. Our first container contains Red, Blue, Silver and Black.
There is a very handsome Green that is not in that container but will
be available later this year. When we see how the colors sell we will
probably narrow it down to 3-4 colors, but that will be in 2007

Topic: Thinking Of The Electra X
Message: I am thinking of trading in my bike, a 1985
Honda Nighthawk 650 for a new Royal Enfield. I am kind of amazed at the
lack of power, considering a Ninja 250 can go over 100 mph and gets 75
miles/gallon. However, the RE has the history behind it and the cool retro
looks. Definitely not a Triumph Bonneville, but still nice. My main concern
is financing options and dealer locations, as well as model availability.
The dealers in Wisconsin do not sell the Electra X or even the 5 speed
models. Would I have go to to another state's dealer to find that model
or the newer 5 speeds rather than the 4 speeds? Are trade ins accepted?
Is there any financing?
email: rlee@yahoo.com
Reply: The
Electra X is will become available in the US in late April 2006. All
of our dealers will have them and I know for certain that our Wisconsin
dealers have them. Also all Royal Enfield's imported into the US since
2004 are 5 speeds. We have not imported 4-speeds since them so any new
bikes on your dealers floor will be 5-speed models. Each dealer has
financing and most accept trade-ins
