Royal Enfield FAQs


Royal Enfield Cooling systems


Ever worried why heating is excess on your Enfield machines?. Yes there is huge tolerance on cooling systems between Royal Enfield and other modren bikes. Modern bikes have a coating on the inside of the cylinder wall on top of the iron (essentially) sleeve .. or in some cases straight aluminium alloy.

This coating is called Nikasil.  

  1. Nikasil is Nickel and Silicon.  And definitely yes your Royal Enfield motorcycles does not have this coating.
  2. This coating usually runs at about a 14 per cent Silicon Carbide ratio


So how should you ride your Enfield bikes?


  1. Vary your RMP. Do not drive long distances in same RPM
  2. Now when you drive for few 100 miles, there is more friction going on there. That's where the heating issues comes. And yes be nice to it. Some say ride it in your way.. Hmm no way.. The hone cross hatches against the rings will create a little more heat, so be aware of that..
  3. Just like sitting more in traffics, not good to overheat your engines. So its better to turn off your engines.
  4. Changing oil a lot - guess what, as all the bearings, camshafts, gear on gear wear themselves together create sufficient frictions and mating surfaces.
  5. Discs and Bearkpads as well create very gud friction. So better avoid sudden breakes, High speed stopping
