I'm 78 and had a heap of bikes in my time. I've owned a Stella for a couple of years and just love it. At first I wasn't sure about the heel/toe gear shifter but after a week, I got used to it. Now I wouldn't change back. So much more comfortable and doesn't scuff the toe of my boot.
@@tonysuffolk4651 it’s sooo good right!?!? I’ve made a few specific Hilto shifter videos on this exact bike. I do recommend a genuine Royal Enfield wide footpad upgrade for the shifter, even better..:D
There are some important features: 1. Your bike has a side stand cutoff sensor. Meaning your bike will be turned off when you push down the side stand. Also the bike will not start when the side stand is on use. 2. The bite of the brakes are very good. One day I was about to hit a dog when it suddenly appeared on the road. I pushed the brakes hard, and the ABS saved me from great danger. I hole this helps! Meteor is Love! ❤️❤️❤️
I want to make a correction to your (1.) statement. If you approach the bike and first shift it into neutral then you can start the engine. I have a new Meteor and I generally do this - start the bike and let it idle and warm up for a minute. On the side stand. It is true, I have found, that when you are riding and you come to a stop, if you push the kickstand down, Yes the engine stops. If you put it into neutral on the side stand then you can start it.
On mine, you flip the petrol cap open, and you'll see a small red button. Pressing this gives a nice nitro boost for overtaking quicker! ....... sorry, couldn't resist. I love my Meteor. The only thing I don't like on my Meteor is I find the clocks way too bright for riding when the nights get really dark through the winter. It feels like a torch light shing right into my eyes.
Thanks for the video. I love mine . Remember when adjusting chain to do so on the side stand not the centre strand( otherwise the drop the back wheel sits at on the centre stand , will mean the chain will be to tight when you drop it off the centre stand ) . Whilst on side stand adjust so you've 25 mm of movement. You will find the centre strand great for oiling the chain 😁😁
Just is tip regarding use of the spanner to adjust the rear suspension: Flip the tool over 180 degrees so that the end part (the end of the hook) is pulling when you try to rotate the adjuster and you will find no tendency to slip..... as is the case with the way you were using the tool. The same applies to a lesser degree when using a tool with a non-symetrical end such as a typical adjustable "water pump" pliers or open end adjustable wrench.
There is also a hidden phone charger under the clutch plus the beam of the headlights is adjustable additionally the trip F lets you know how much you have rode the bike after it was in reserve plus if the bike falls due to an accident the bike turns off the engine by itself.
I have the bike and love it, however I'm not crazy about the heel shifter as you can't adjust the front shifter up if you prefer toe shift up and down. If you adjust it, it binds on the bottom of the frame, and also makes the heel shifter too low, if you did want to use it.
I totally understand your position on that! I do like the Heal-Toe shift on this bike, but I think you can convert it to a pure toe shift like on all the other 350 bikes. For a cheap price too!
Really enjoying your UA-cam channel. Super helpful technique to use the center stand. Will practice using it on my RE Classic 350 (2022). Did I spy an LED headlight on your Meteor? Do you like it? Can you please post the link please? I was thinking about getting one for my Classic 350. Ride safe!👍
We have two, one exactly like yours but we have a small black instrument screen & we also have the Brown & Black coloured Supernova which comes with the touring screen & chrome highlights on the rims...
@@MCCJustMotos - I like the Stellar Red, the touring fairing on the Supernova causes buffering on My helmet at higher speeds closer to 100km/h... But both are smooth as silk gearboxes. I own two Moto Guzzi's myself, my wife has the Stellar red & we only recently bought the Supernova second hand for our son with only 1000km on the clock, so it's pretty much not even run in yet...
Those springs are almost if not useless,as soon as you sit on it the tiny gap between the bottom 6 coils closes up making it basically solid block of steel,swap this shocks soon as
I think you'll find that the Royal Enfield 350 meteor Stellar is the only model in the 350 range that comes standard with the tripper navigation system & a back rest. The only other model that seems to have it standard is the new super meteor 650.
According to the 5 dealers spoke with it changed for 2023. Even though it was “standard” they did not come with it in the states. Same for the scram and Himalayan. They came standard 2022 but disappeared for 2023. Im guessing the Chip shortage is about over and Tripper is standard once again for newer models.
Good informational video, I think I have been using 9 features subconsciously however what I didn't find in my meteor 350 is the USB charger, I feel like the dealer installed for you.
Great review of features but....please ditch the mindless background 'music'. Your content stands up well for itself, the background is too loud. You don't need it.😊

Agree on gauge briteness
I actually wish you could put the tripper into dark mode all the time

Those are amazing bikes 4 the money 💰 😊
So true!!!
Here's another little know fact, under that same right side panel is a red connection plug, which is the obd2 scanner port 😉
Oh nice! Thanks!!!
What is obd scanner,and could you please give the specific location wher it exactly is
@@timoz8648 it is a connection to hook up an obd (on-board diagnostics) computer code reader. I don’t know where it is, I have not looked for it.
to adjust time in your main display long press the trip changer button.

Cool deal
I have same bike royal Enfield stella red meteor 350 , just amazing to ride and everyone looking to me
Yaaass!!
I like the Hunter 350. I have no use for one but remaking the 535GT on this platform would be pretty cool.
I feel ya on that. Not here in the state yet, but I’d like to try it out!
Those springs are almost if not useless,as soon as you sit on it the tiny gap between the bottom 6 coils closes up making it basically solid block of steel,swap this shocks soon as
Yeah, not the worst I’ve felt but defiantly not the best!
@@MCCJustMotos price point means they can easily be upgraded to Tec or hagon shocks for little money definitely worth while
Actually you can fit the hunter rear shocks on the meteor, which are better, or there is the endurance gas shocks from India

I was enjoying your video but after 1,45 secs I just had to turn it off because the background music is so irritating.
Fair enough, thanks for the 1.45 sec of time! 😂
Should be ROCK & ROLL😅
I did not get any paper manual along with the bike. Rather I was asked to download the manual that was uploaded online and get it printed.
Where did you buy it?
In India
@@mrityunjayjoshi9603ahh yes in America they come with a paper manual. India might be different 🤔
Hey bro this stellar
Thanks, it is Stellar!

Awesome! The usb is a STOCK feature not dealer installed. I wonder if it’s only USA?

It’s a Meteor 350 Super Nova
And the 650 super meteor looks like the meteor 350, not the other way around 😂
@@MCCJustMotos Are the 350 and 650 built on the same frame? Asking for a friend.

pity about the over loud " music" it adds nothing to an otherwise good video

Please just don't use any music at all. Good video! Terrible soundtrack.
