From Royal Enfield's Bullet 350 owner's manual (BS VI, edition of 29 January 2025) for the J-series Bullet 350. Labour is free for the four free services; parts, lubricants, filters and other consumables are charged. Royal Enfield asks for shorter intervals if you ride in very dusty or severe conditions.
The service light
The Bullet's display shows a service reminder at 450 km, then 4,900 km, then every 5,000 km after that — 9,900 km, 14,900 km and so on — a little before each service is due. Only the service centre can reset it.
Engine oil
- Grade: SAE 15W-50, API SL, JASO MA2, semi-synthetic.
- Quantity: about 1.7 litres at an oil change; 2.2 litres for a dry engine.
- Oil filter: replaced with the oil — at 500 km, then every 10,000 km. The oil strainer on the crankcase is cleaned at the same services.
- Check the level: every 1,000 km or earlier, and top up as needed.
