The Royal Enfield Bullet 350 ES has a reputation of needing more maintenance than most modern motorcycles. This is a topic of debate with riders and potential buyers. And some enthusiasts say that the regular maintenance is part of the Bullet experience, where owners can bond more with their machines and learn something about mechanics. For some, it’s a drawback – the time, the effort, the potential cost of keeping the bike in good condition. When this discussion comes up, it is usually about the availability of spare parts, how often service intervals will occur, and how much mechanical knowledge you will need to do basic upkeep. This also makes one wonder if the Bullet 350 ES deserves the maintenance headaches that it demands.
