A friend has 2016 model of RE 500, Classic Dessert Storm. He is a doctor and has used it very sparingly. Recently he has decided to shift to US and wants to sell his bike. He offered it to me at good price but I have heard a little about Fuel Injection problem in RE 500 and am little hesitant to buy, even though I absolutely love the RE 500s.

Any suggestions?

My 35 k km and 8 year old Thunderbird 500 is absolutely fine and hale and hearty. Apart from changing the battery twice, there is absolutely no problem whatsoever. The OE stock electronic fuel injection is also fine and working alright.

Whats the average yearly maintenance expense for RE 500? Moderately run, only in the city.

Did you buy it actually?
How difficult was the repair?
I am checking Midas phone number here at the moment as i need to deal with the similar issue in my car. Would be nice to know what amount i can expect to pay.
