Yooo bro I bought one an it's 11years old since then its running like a rocket 🚀.
Best machine ever built by Royal Enfield an the good part is It gives 39-42kms per ltr 😇
Yes indeed it was one of the best bikes manufactured by RE, has both the old and new vibes in it, keep riding cheers.
39-42😲 mileage in 500cc?
Are u sure ur getting 39- 42 kmpl ?
@@wickedangel7 yes brother !!!!
@Rin yes it does, AVL engines are known for good fuel efficiency in comparison to other Enfield Bullets
Now that's real rare video.. I really appreciate your efforts brother... Unique one.. cheer's mate
Please stop saying cheers mate like a firangi.
I can say what ever I want...
Absolutely fabulous and informative indeed. Kudos!
I also have machizmo 500 buddy.. It sound just like tiger... Pure thrill♥️
I have machismo 350 and still stock since 2005 just alloys i have nothing else is changed and i feel proud when i drive machismo cux it feels vintage and sound of pistons of AVL engine ❣️❣️ is also makes it old vintage and my machismo can reach upto 140 i dont know why today's bullet cannot do i agree older bullets with 4 gears cannot make it bit today's bullet is lightweight and also having 5 gears
My brother have avl machismo 4 gear 2002 model converted into standard 350 by looks 😇👌
🔥🔥🔥
One of the most Descriptive and Informative video. This is what missing in the blogs published by Tom dick and harry. Good bro
Thanks bro intend to get back into motovlogging, been on a break, appreciate the encouraging words.
Congratulations for having a legend. Std 350 CI & Machismo 500 are 2 best products from RE.
Not a single timing gear replacement in 80000 kms?
Absolutely true, some of the best quality bikes we have seen from the RE stable, the INT and CONTI seem to have those genes, only time will tell though.
Have you continued with the same timing gear set for all 80000 kms?
I heard that AVL needs the timing gear replacement at every 10-15 thousand kilometers?
I have replaced it once, recently during the overhaul as it had worn out.
Bhai... Achi bike he na?
350?
How many engine options were available for both Machismo 500 and 350?
What is AVL 500 and LB 500?
Good information dude, thanks 😊
CI engine means Compressed Ignition engine not cast iron. Old Engine cases are made of Aluminium alloy.
Really really thank you for the English vlog bro, I was really searching for this kind of review ❤️❤️❤️
So here we go for doubt I heard that it has a oil leak problem that can't be solved, and too much of maintenance issues is that?
Right now I'm using 500 desert Strom I just wanna Know about AVL engine because I'm planning to buy it...
Hi yes the maintenance is much higher than the regular UCE engine, oil leaks depends on the packing used and the mechanics workmanship, however the maintenance is manageable in comparison to the older Cast iron engine's.
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries thank you so much bro
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries what exactly is the maintenance you are talking about???
UCE Gives the millage of 50 kmpl with free flow exhaust in city. & 55-60 kmpl with stock exhaust. Easily 60 kmpl on highway with either exhaust.
U definitely must be having a unique riding style to get such a good mileage
My uce 500 gives only 22 -27
Get it tuned by an expert mechanic
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries How can EFI be tuned
Race dynamics ECU
Hey great vdo n it did help me thanks
I have the same james bond inspired casio watch you're truly man of good choice. Love to have a little chat with you I live in mumbai too
What is the difference between this one and regular machismo 500 ?
Awesome video... Looking at this video I've decided to buy a second hand Machismo 500☺️
I wanted to ask where I can buy those seats and the visor? Please help me with it. TIA.
Bro please put a vedio on oil leaks while touring and how to or steps to rectify them . I own a TB avl 350.
Yea I can, but honestly it all depends on the packing, clutch packing, gear box packing, Tappet packing, every 15000 kms it needs to be replaced and new packings need to be put with generous amount of silicon ( 3 bond), another leak are is the drain nut, over a period bof time it tends to expand so a slightly oversized nut need to be be put to prevent oil leaks. Cheers.
hello i am from kerala.i currently use classic 350 for 5 years, i am planning to exchange with machismo 500 . can u tell me whether the parts aare available? what about the vibrations? is it good for highway touring?
If you are referring to the Machismo AVL 500, yes the parts are available, Vibration is the same on CI, AVL or UCE engines, it's good for touring if you cruise around 80kms to 90 kms anything beyond its a vibrator and the fatigue and tiredness is high for a ride above 500 kms in a day.
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries ohk thankyou. My other options are Thunderbird 500 and classic 500
Thunderbird 500 is a good option
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries where can I find a genuine bend pipe for machismo 500...the one they have in authorised RE spare parts is not a perfect fit at the engine... And you know that's not good for the engine
Look for a second hand one, probably the bullet mechanics can source one for you, try RE spares authorised dealers, they might be able to procure as well
Could you upload a video of the bike running? Want to hear how it sounds.
U can refer to the other videos I have uploaded while riding the bike, will also upload, a few more in the coming days
Bro.. What about Machismo 350 .. It's good Or not??
It's good with the AVL engine
Another pround Machismo 500.
Can you explain on the two oil pipes coming from the engine that goes all the upto the seats, a small oil container.
The pipes on mine are completely worn out. Need to make it correct.
Those are from the crank and one goes to the airfilter from the emission converter, once pressure builds up in the crank esp if you riding at high speeds it pushes up the crank and into the small oil container under the seat, you can get new tubes at a RE parts supplier it's an easy fit, just need to remove the tank , seat and battery to fix it correctly.
What is the crank weight of this one ?
Bhaiya machismo 500 cc bullet india par kanha milega please bhaiya reply me 🙏🏿 🙏
I just bought the AVL 500, it has very low mileage. Smooth but it is missing compression release and front foot peg. Are these items shared with the iron barrel Bullet? Where can I find parts for the older bikes?
U can get these items in Mumbai at any local dealership
Hi, can you please share info on the tailbox shown in this video and it's installation.. This box is different from your topbox video. Kindly share.. Thanks
It's a basic studds top box I think cost around 600 rs u can order it online.
Thanks man! Cheers 👍
Hi brother the exhaust on my 2004 350 AVL machismo has rusted away, are BS6 350 stock exhausts good for this bike?
The stock exaust of BS6 might not fit, suggest you look at the secondhand market for the bendpipe and exaust.
Can i get to see your bike.
Working on my Machismo's complete make-over.
Definitely, if you are in Mumbai
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries luckily from Vashi
Best descriptive video but i am getting 30kmpl
hi is it a smaller tank compared to standard 500?
It's q different design, latest tanks are teardrop design fuel capacity is 13.5 litres
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries u mean this one is 14.5 and latest bikes are 13.5? so machismo is bigger?
Sir I have machismo 500 2009 model I have a issue in mileage it's giving just 26 kmpl speed is 50 if I want increase mileage what changes I have to do please help me
Few things u can do are....
1- Upgrade to iradium spark plug
2- Use fully synthetic oil
3- Get the carburettor cleaned and tuned by an experienced mechanic (critical)
4 - Get the tank cleaned up
5 - Check your Tyres and Chain for wear and tear
6 - Tappet settings to be done
Most depends on ur riding style for better fuel efficiency.
Hope this helps...
does it have vibration like classic 500?
Could you suggest some spare part dealer address and contact number for arranging the engine and gearbox spare part .
I am from a small city of north india and there is hard to find spare part for my machismo 350 ...
Definitely in Mumbai all spares are available email me at ldr.enfield@gmail.com
Sir... actually I've the same RE Machismo 500cc. My doubt is...can we shift the gear box from left to right side and brake on left side?? As old bullet has???
A good mechanic will be able to do that modification, however the question is why would you want to do that, as its practical and ideal for today's time, if you want a right side gear, but a good cast iron bullet for the original charm.
Hi, can you share the performance of this compared to the UCE 500? Pickup and top speed?
Both are almost at par, depends on the tuning of the AVL engine, however from my experience the AVL has a better too end speed, and the UCE has better acceleration, again this depends on how both bikes are maintained. The UCE engines have lesser routine maintenance.
Mine is a 16 year old AVL and it does Mumbai to Goa without any hiccups. Depends on how u maintain the bike.
@nitinbhartiya11 UCE 500 carb was a newer version, it will be better by design, alot of UCE owners convert their UCE 500 fuel injector bikes to carb, I had a desert Strom too 500, it's definitely a better bike, maintenance and power wise. All holds its on.
Can I get the link for the same logo stickers as on your bike tank?
I want these same stickers on my new chrome bullet
Stickers you can get it made at the local shops who do radium work, logo u will get it at RE stores or Spare part dealer
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries do local shops give the same quality stickers like RE give?
Quality will differ, but its cost effective, esp when u park u bike and people tamper with it, orginal logo is 600 a piece
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries from where I get the original ROYAL ENFIELD logo the same as on your bike? If you know from where to buy…please provide buy link
Also I want the buying link for the same fuel opener (round)
Beautiful bike.. What is the crusing speed on the highway?
80 to 100 depending on road conditions
Bhai aap ye continues 1 week use karte ho tho kitne baar petrol bharvara padta hai bhai ? Please answer me
Depends on how much u ride mileage is around 35 km/litre in city
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries ok thankx bro for answering me 🤍 and can you make a video on modification of machismo 500 bullet answer me if possible sir !
Is its still throwing oil
Nope, engine is a Gem
first tanks for this informative video .Can we fit big punjab silencer and standard fuel tank in it .please reply I am thinking to buy it
Not sure about the tank, but silencer is pretty much a standard fitment, check with a good mechanic.
Really awesome brother, can you please tell me your suggestions about machismo 350 kick start, am planning to buy one and am selling my dominar, bcoz am mad on bullets
Are you looking to buy a new one or a second hand bike! Incase you buying a new one the UCE engines are quite good, I would however personally suggest you wait till next year as the BS6 engines will be launched and you can have the latest bike in the market.
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries Thank you so much for your information brother, actually I was using classic and Thunderbird uce before 2 years, but those bikes are not like the old school avl or ci engines, that's why I planned to go for an avl one and also the bs6 versions doesn't have a kick start and I will never consider those RE's. I need a pure Bullet like old one...
@Riccky Ramesh then I would suggest u look for a good well maintained AVL 350 or 500... Depends on your usage, however the self start is a failure on the 500 on the AVL 350 it lasts a little longer. Check old for AVL bullet bikes. Please do note... even the AVL engines need good maintenance from time to time, Cheers and safe riding.
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries Thanks a lot brother ✌️✌️
@@ricckyramesh5012 I've Machismo 500
Wanna try it out as test ride? I'm from Navi Mumbai.
Btw self start is really a pain in this bike.
Did using 750 ml oil solve the clutch socket issue 😀?I have a cast iron 5 speed a mine has broke twice
Yes, but then again it's a temporary fix, suggest u remove the self start mechanism and just use the Kickstart
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries Mine doesn't have the self start though😅either way I changed my riding style to use the clutch less, so it hasn't broken since...
Hello bro my grandfather had this(machismo ) bike it ws bought in 2004 n after 2006 he passed away (long story). since then no one has even touched this bike its still in the storeroom. I ws thinking about starting it myself,Do u think it will start or should i bring some showroom expertise to check n start?
Sorry to hear that, if you in Mumbai can suggest a few good mechanics, if it's in the storeroom, you will need to check multiple things.
1 - Wiring replace
2- Engine oil
3 - gear oil and Clutch oil
4 - you will need a new battery
5 - all cables will need to be replaced
6 - Tyres replace
Is it a 350 or 500
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries its 350 and I'm from Goa (lockdown is going on so i can't really bring any mechanic but after lockdown is over ill bring some mechanic n check all the things u mentioned above) thankyou😀 again for replying 🙏
The tyre bearings may need to be replaced, suggest you buy the parts from an authorised RE service center, you will also have to replace the fork oil, brake pads front and rear, if you need any other info do message, will guide you with the same, you can connect with me on Instagram Curlybikerr
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries Thank you for the advice and i will surely connect u on insta if i need any guidance 🔥

Any idea where I can get bend pipe for LB 500?
Can you tell me the model number of Irridium plug? I have 2009 model. The bike is running smooth... I too have removed the sprag clutch :)
You can order the bend pipe from the Royal Enfield stockist in Mumbai, however it's a little hard to get, you can search for a second hand one from any of the bullet mechanics and get it powder coated, mine was also rusted but post powder coating it's back to it's original shape, as for the sprag clutch yup...it's better removed, bike kick starts in one kick :)
NGK Iridium lX - BR9EIX u can buy it online in Amazon and also check on NGK part finder online
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries Thanks bro. I am based in Pune. Could not source the bend pinp in Pune.
Call Nerul RE spare parts store Mumbai, the owner is Mr Ashwin, he might have it in stock. Plot No 16, Sion - Panvel Expy, Sector 1, Shiravane, Nerul, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400706, India

Bro I'm having a thunderbird 350 avl . It was a good engine but it emitted a little smoke. So I did the whole boring work, the smoke emittance stopped. But now it started making noise in the engine , especially when it is started through self start , sometimes while kick start. Even I changed a new self motor bro .
Any suggestions to rectify it bro??
Could be the self start bearing, get it checked by an expert mechanic, if you in Mumbai you can check it with Anthony from Juhu
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries thank you bro I ll try it out and let u know 😊....
Can you share how much BHP does it produce?
It's around 23 bhp@5000rpm and 40 nm torque @3000rpm
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries thanks man
What is the top speed?
140 tops but actual reading might be around 135 due to speedo error.
Tell us more about that decompression chowk
All the older bikes have the decompression, lever, I changed the position for better leverage, and u get the lever in any RE specific shop, go for the "Pital" Bronze one as it's longer lasting.
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries mechanic told me that decompression doesnt work in machismo500 and i always have hard time with kick start... Now they have told me to spend 10k to install self and self bearing

Hi, how is the thunderbird handlebar? Is it comfortable?
Are you referring to the the Thunderbird cruiser handlebar or Thunderbird X handlebar
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries i m referring to thunderbird x handlebar which i guess you have installed.
Yes it's is very comfortable, both for city and highway
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries thank you, i m planning to install on my standard 350

Change to Standard UCE engine carburettor
@@Motorcycletraveldiaries i want my machismo same as stock not interested to change things then there will be no difference in machismo and standard bullet i wanna place machismo as my showcase in my house
Machismo carburettor might be hard to get, u can source from second-hand market or check from RE spares dealers. If you are lucky you might get one.
What about vibration , oil leak compared to other re models
Better than the original Cast iron engines but yes it's an inherent fact that oil leak and vibration is present, depends on how u maintain
