When it comes to one of the most loved and celebrated cruisers of all times undoubtedly the name BULLET comes up . This bike is so popular that it once overshadowed the name of its parent company Royal Enfield.Its immense popularity comes from the fact that people take huge pride in riding them. The company has a splendid legacy of manufacturing beast motorcycles known for their THUMPING ( DUG ....DUG...DUG.....)  for more than  116 years.However, the company seems to be lagging considering the recent developments in the field of biking technology.

The issues  1)Loads of vibration kicks in when the vehicle runs past 80kmph which results in less stability in handling.It makes nearly impossible for one to see the side mirrors. 2) No rear disc for classic 350,electra 500. The Electra 350 is not equipped with disc brakes.The braking is not in

What is the Catalytic Converter all about? The catalytic converter is an emissions related component that is mounted in the exhaust pipe. Its purpose is to superheat unburned particles in the exhaust gases that are expelled from the engine. As the engine runs, the catalytic converter warms up to an operating temperature of 500-1200 °F. At this temperature the particles in the ‘dirty’ exhaust are burned and converted into water vapor and carbon dioxide. The catalyst inside is nearly always comprised of precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, or palladium. When the catalyst isn’t able to burn off the unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust, an unpleasant odor can occur, a rough run or misfire may be felt, or the Check Engine light may illuminate. Key Notes to remember: Most cars will require the aftermarket Catalytic Converter to be welded to the exhaust pipes.  When replacing the catalytic converter, it may be necessary to replace oxygen sensors as well.
