Before operating your new motorcycle, we request
you to carefully read and follow the operating and
maintenance instructions detailed in this manual for
the safety of your own, your motorcycle and also that
of others.
Know and adhere to the rules of the road with respect
to your driving country.
Before starting the motorcycle, check for proper
operation of brakes, clutch, gear shifter, handle
barcontrols, tyre pressures, fuel and oil levels, etc.
Use only genuine Royal Enfield spare parts and
approved accessories. Use of other manufacturer’s
parts may affect the performance of your motorcycle
and render the motorcycle void of warranty. Visit your
Royal Enfield Authorised Service Centre for details.
Whenever refueling your motorcycle, please exercise
utmost caution and carefully observe the following
guidelines.
SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
Refuel in a well ventilated area with the
engineturned OFF condition.
Open the fuel tank cap slowly.
Switch OFF mobile phones and other hand held
electronic devices.
Do not smoke and please ensure that there are
no open ames or sparks near the motorcycle,
when refueling or servicing the fuel system.
 Please ll fuel till the bottom of anti splash plate,
so as to leave sucient air space in the fuel tank
to allow for fuel expansion.
WARNING
Royal Eneld cautions you against the use of certain
nonstandard parts such as aftermarket and custom made
extended front forks or suspensions, which may adversely
aect performance and handling. Removing or altering
original parts may adversely aect performance and could
result in accident.

Royal Eneld Meteor 350 07
SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
A new motorcycle must be operated according to
the special running-in-procedure. See running-in-
procedure mentioned in respective section.
Operate motorcycle only at moderate speeds and out
of traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar
with its operation and handling characteristics under
all conditions.
Do not exceed the legal speed limit or ride too fast
for existing conditions. Always reduce speed when
poor riding conditions exist. High speed increases the
influence of any other condition affecting stability and
increases the possibility of loss of control.
If you are an inexperienced rider we recommend that
you obtain formal training on correct motorcycle riding
techniques and become thoroughly familiar with the
operation of your motorcycle. New riders should gain
experience under various conditions while driving at
moderate speeds.
NOTE
Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions.
Any motorcycle may be subject to the following upsetting
forces:
Wind blasts from passing vehicles.
Rough or uneven road surfaces.
Slippery road surfaces.
These forces may aect the handling characteristics of
your motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed of the
motorcycle to a controlled condition. Do not apply brake
abruptly.
■Operate your motorcycle defensively. Remember
that a motorcycle does not aord the same
protection as an automobile in an accident. One of
the most common accident situations occurs when
the rider / driver of the other motorcycle / vehicle
fails to see or recognise a motorcycle and turns into
the oncoming motorcyclist.

SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
Regularly inspect shock absorbers and front forks and
look for leaks. Replace worn out parts. Worn out parts
can adversely aect stability and handling.
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide
and chemicals, known to cause cancer, birth defects
WARNING
■Wear an approved helmet, clothing and footwear
suited for riding a motorcycle. Bright / light colours
are best for greater visibility in trac, especially at
night. Avoid loose, owing garments and scarves.
■When carrying a pillion rider, it is your responsibility to
instruct them on proper riding procedures.
■Do not allow other individuals, under any
circumstances, to operate your motorcycle unless you
know they are experienced, licensed riders and are
thoroughly familiar with the operating conditions of
your motorcycle.
or other reproductive defects, durability / longevity
operation of your motorcycle.
For your personal welfare, all the listed service and
maintenance recommendations should be performed.
Lack of regular maintenance at the suggested intervals
may aect the safe/durability/longevity operation of
your motorcycle.
Avoid any contact with the exhaust system when hot.
Wear clothing that will completely cover the legs while
riding. The exhaust system gets very hot when the
engine is running and remains too hot to touch, even
after the engine is turned OFF. Failure to wear proper
or protective clothing could result in serious injury.
Motorcycle batteries contain lead, acids and chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Exercise extreme caution while
handling a battery, wash hands thoroughly whenever
a battery is handled.

Royal Eneld Meteor 350 09
SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
Consult your Royal Eneld Authorised Service Centre
regarding any questions or problems that occur in the
operation of your motorcycle. Failure to do so may
aggravate an initial problem, cause costly repairs and
jeopardize your personal safety.
Do not tow a motorcycle. The steering and handling of
the towed motorcycle will be impaired due to the force
of the towline. If a motorcycle must be transported,
use a truck or a trailer.
Do not pull a trailer behind a motorcycle. Towing a
trailer may cause reduced braking eciency, tyre
overloading and unstable handling, as it may cause
loss of control of the motorcycle in the front, leading
to an accident.

RULES OF THE ROAD
■Be sure your number plate is installed in the position
specied by law and is clearly visible at all times.
■Ride at a safe speed that is consistent with the type
of road surface you are on. Pay strict attention while
riding on the following surfaces :
Dusty
Oily
Icy
Wet
Sand
■Watch for loose debris, such as leaves, slippery
substances or gravel that can hamper the stability of
your motorcycle.
■Keep to the correct side of the road center line when
meeting oncoming vehicles.
■Actuate your turn signals and exercise caution when
passing other vehicles going in the same direction.
Never try to pass another vehicle going in the same
direction at street intersections, on curves, or when
going up/or down a hill.
■At street intersection give the
right-of-way to the motorcycle on
your left or right. Do not presume
you have the right-of-way.
■Adhere to the rules of the road
with respect to your country
when preparing to stop, turn or
pass. While turning either right
or left, watch for pedestrians,
animals, as well as other vehicles.

RULES OF THE ROAD
■Never jump a trac light. When a change is
imminent from GO to STOP (or vice versa) at
intersections, slow down and wait for the light to
change to green. Never run through a yellow or red
trac light.
■Do not leave the curb or parking area without
signaling. Be sure your way is clear to enter moving
trac. A moving line of trac always has the right-
of-way.
■When parking the motorcycle, park on a rm and at
surface to prevent it from falling over.
■Protect your motorcycle against theft. After parking
your motorcycle, ensure that the steering head is
locked and then remove the ignition key.
SIDE VIEW MIRRORS
Your motorcycle is equipped with convex mirrors and
have a curved surface. This type of mirror is designed
to give a much wider view of the rear than a normal at
mirror. However, vehicles and other objects seen in this
type of mirror will look smaller and farther away than
when seen in a at mirror.
To establish the relative distance of vehicles / objects
behind your motorcycle through the mirrors, adjust each
mirror in such a way, that a small portion of your shoulder
is visible and a large portion behind your motorcycle is
seen clearly with reference to your riding posture.
NOTE
Use care when judging the size or distance of vehicles /
objects seen in these mirrors. Use the tool available in tool
kit to loosen and adjust the side mirrors.

■Do not exceed 110 km/h (68.3 mph) when riding solo,

■Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the
motorcycle.
■Do not load bulky items behind the rider or add
weight to the handlebars or front forks.
■Re-check the luggage periodically to ensure it is

motorcycle.
■Large surfaces such as fairings, windshield, backrest
and luggage racks can adversely aect handling of the
motorcycle. Use Royal Eneld Genuine Motorcycle
Accessories which are model specic and follow
installation procedure.
Do not load weight or install accessories incorrectly on
the motorcycle. Doing so may aect the motorcycle’s
stability, handling characteristics and safe operation
