Royal Enfield free service km list
| Service | Due at (whichever comes earlier, from the date of sale) | Engine oil |
|---|---|---|
| 1st free service | 500 km or 45 days | Replace, with the filter |
| 2nd free service | 5,000 km or 6 months | Check & top up |
| 3rd free service | 10,000 km or 12 months | Replace, with the filter |
| 4th free service | 15,000 km or 18 months | Check & top up |
| After that | Every 5,000 km or 6 months | Replace every 10,000 km or 12 months |
From Royal Enfield's owner's manuals for the J-series Classic 350 (July 2025 edition), Bullet 350 (January 2025) and Hunter 350 (May 2026), which print the same four free services. Labour is free at the free services; parts, lubricants, filters and other consumables are charged. Royal Enfield asks for shorter intervals in very dusty or severe conditions. Your service booklet has the exact terms for your motorcycle.
The months matter as much as the km. A Royal Enfield ridden 15 km a day reaches the first service by date — at 45 days — at well under 500 km, and the later ones every 6 months long before the next 5,000 km.
Service chart by km
| km | Service | Engine oil |
|---|---|---|
| 500 | 1st free | Replace |
| 5,000 | 2nd free | Check & top up |
| 10,000 | 3rd free | Replace |
| 15,000 | 4th free | Check & top up |
| 20,000 | Paid | Replace |
| 25,000 | Paid | Check & top up |
| 30,000 | Paid | Replace |
And so on every 5,000 km — or every 6 months, if that comes first. The oil is also replaced at 12 months even if the bike hasn't reached the next 10,000 km.
By model
| Classic | Bullet | Hunter | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chain lube every | 1,000 km | 1,000 km | 500 km |
| Tyres solo (front / rear) | 32 / 32 psi | 32 / 32 psi | 29 / 32 psi |
| Rear with a pillion | 36 psi | 36 psi | 36 psi |
All three use Royal Enfield's 349 cc J-series engine, so the four free services and the oil (15W-50, about 1.7 litres) are the same; the chain routine and tyre pressures aren't, and the Bullet runs spoke wheels with tube tyres while the Hunter has tubeless tyres on alloys. Each model's page has its full list — parts with their own intervals, tyres, the Bullet's service light and the rest.
Before you go for a Royal Enfield service
- Book by date, not just km. The first free service is due at 45 days — easy to miss on a bike that's ridden little.
- Know which services change the oil. The 500 km, 10,000 km and 20,000 km services replace it; the 5,000 km ones in between check and top it up. Ask before you're charged for a change that isn't due.
- Check the oil yourself every 1,000 km — Royal Enfield's manuals ask for it, and top up as needed.
- Keep services on schedule. The Hunter 350's manual, for example, says its 36-month / 30,000 km warranty depends on services done within the km and month ranges — your booklet has the terms for your bike.
