MotorBabuRoyal Enfield Classic 350 service schedule
The J-series Classic 350 (2021 onwards) is far less fussy than the old one — but the first service and the chain still need attention. Here's the schedule from the owner's manual.

From the Classic 350 (2021) owner's manual service record. Which services are free depends on Royal Enfield's offer at the time of purchase — check your service booklet.
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.
- When: at the services where your schedule calls for it — ask the service centre to show you the schedule line if unsure.
Things worth doing on a Classic
- Chain: clean and lube every 500–1,000 km and after rain; keep the slack as marked.
- Spoke wheels: if yours has spokes, have their tension checked at services.
- Battery: a Classic that stands for weeks often won't start — ride it weekly or use a trickle charger.
- Chrome and paint: wash off road salt and mud promptly in the monsoon.
