How reliable is the Royal Enfield Classic 350 S for daily commute?

The fact that any daily rider has to be dependable makes the quality of the Classic 350 S a mixed bag. Others report trouble free experience and praise the simplicity and ease of maintenance. Some have had parts fall off, electrical problems, and even trips to the service center. The bike’s reliability doesn’t seem consistent, and seems to depend on (among others) the manufacturing batch it came from, how it was maintained by its previous owner, and what kind of riding it was used for. Whether Royal Enfield has improved its quality control in recent years is a subject of ongoing debate, and how the Classic 350 S fares when compared to Japanese rivals in terms of long term dependability. If you are looking at this bike as a daily commuter, you’ll want to know how reliable this bike is in real life.
