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.
SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
Visit your Royal Enfield Authorised Service Centre
for details.
Whenever refueling your motorcycle, please
exercise utmost caution and carefully observe the
following guidelines.
Refuel in a well ventilated area with the
engineturned o 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.

Royal Eneld Meteor 07
SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
Do not ll the fuel in tank to its brim. 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.
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.

SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
NOTE
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 again
experience under various conditions while driving
moderate speeds.
Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind
conditions. Any motorcycle may be subject to the
following up-setting 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 afford 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.
Wear an approved helmet, clothing and footwear
suited for riding a motorcycle. Bright / light colours
are best for greater visibility in traffic, especially at
night. Avoid loose, flowing garments and scarves.

Royal Eneld Meteor 09
SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
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.
WARNING
Regularly inspect shock absorbers and front forks
and look for leaks. Replace worn out parts. Worn
out parts can adversely affect stability and
handling.
For your personal welfare, all the listed service
and maintenance recommendations should be
performed. Lack of regular maintenance at the
suggested intervals may affect 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.
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide
and chemicals, known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive defects.

SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
WARNING
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.
Consult your Royal Enfield 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 efficiency, tyre
overloading and unstable handling, as it may cause
loss of control of the motorcycle in the front,
leading to an accident.

Use care when judging the size or distance of vehicles /
objects seen in these mirrors.
NOTE

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.

backrests and luggage racks can adversely affect
handling of the motorcycle. Use Royal Enfield
genuine motorcycle accessories which are model
specific and follow installation procedure.
