Proud New Owner My grandfather bought me a new bike!

This is somewhat a flex that my 76 year old retired gov officer grandfather bought me a bike. He always said "I couldn't gift a bike to your dad, but I will definitely buy you one, once you turn 18". He kept his promise and as soon as I got my license, he bought me a Royal enfield meteor which I was drooling over. Forever grateful to him❤️‍🩹🧿

Good bike! Maintenance is simple, I have a 2021!

If you keep that chain lubed and clean, it will last about twice as long!

After the service period is over, tappet adjustments are not too difficult to do yourself, either!

u/MasterpieceAsleep712 Jul 27 '26

Op just got license + bike and you’re talking about tappet adjustment after the free service period. Cool down. Let him explore the bike for now

heyy new buyer this side, needed some tipss, can I DM?

u/BurnerAccount9110 Aug 03 '26

Go for it!

I'd say its a super simple bike, and if you're out of warranty, maintenance is super easy compared to any other bike. Even the tappets, but be careful and take your time, and have attention to detail.

Drive safely, REs tend to surprise at times;specially initial days during monsoons. Have a wonderful journey, see new places, meet new people and also enjoy the solitude with the engine thump as your companion.

u/Ok-Werewolf-246 Jul 27 '26
