Topic: 500cc or 350cc?
Message: I have inherited a Bullet 1973, but I don't know if it's a 350cc or a 500cc?
Is there a way to find out through the VIN number or is there another way?
Thank you.
email: bamboula@mac.com
Royal Enfield did not make a 500cc in 1973 so you must have a 350.
They ceased production in England in 1970 and didn't make the 500 in India until much later.

Topic: Dead Light Switch
Message: Anyone know if there is a way to hook up the right hand light switch
that is not functional on US models? It looks like it may work with the right
harness behind the headlamp. Anyone know?
email: msponchiad@state.pa.us
I would never admit to having taught you this, but the US model has a jumper between the control and the wiring harness which makes this switch inoperable. It you merely remove the jumber harness and plug the control directly into the wiring harness the switch will operate.

Topic: Performance kit
Message:Has anyone out there had experience using the 34mm Mikuni carb? The
catalog lists a performance kit for the 500 based on this carb and a classic
exhaust. I was curious as to how this might work on an electra.

This is one of our most popular carburetor kits.

Message: Just a note of thanks to Royal Enfield! I have had my bike now for over
4 years with 10k miles in-town commuter miles on the clock. It still turns heads
and I still look forward to the ride - even if it is to work! My advice to
anyone is to not put it off and buy one today!

Topic: reliable
Message: what is to be expected as for break in milage? mechanical failure? top
speed? fuel milage in town?
email: byron@hagercycle.com
Break-in mileage is around 1,000. There are very specific instructions in the owners manual. Top speed is 70-75mph, but that is wide open. It is best cruised between 55-60mph. Fuel mileage will vary, but in-town should be around 60 mpg or so.

Topic: breakin period
Message: I got my new Electra X in May, 2006. It is a wonderful machine!
I track my gas mileage closely. I find that that it started out at a low of
65-70 mpg right from the dealer, and gradually rose to slightly over 80 mpg at
2100 miles, where it has stayed to right now at 5,000 miles. This is averaged
over all types of riding - city, county roads, and the occasional blast on the
interstate to get around the city.
This suggests that breakin is longer than 900 miles, and critical. I am sure
the machine can take harder usage, but I am glad I took it easy for a long time.
