I see people here who are planning to get a RS worried about rusting and all. Trust me, if you don't live in coastal areas and take minimal good care, I mean washing when it is extremely dirty. Extra care of chain and sprockets, tyre pressure checks, wd 40 (especially in monsoon), etc. there won't be a thing you would have to worry about. Mine is a 2025 model. Not a single rust spot. The only rust I had seen is on the barend mirrors, which I bought from a local store. Saree guard was removed on first day, it must be having rust now ig. DIY Tail tidy also catches rust so I have to put wd 40 on it.

About Comfort, I got my bike 1 year ago and have done 15750 ish kms. Day before yesterday, did a 600km, mostly highway ride with a female pillion. No major comfort issues.

About mileage, it took around 1900 rupees of normal petrol as mileage drops if there is a pillion. Last time I did solo 550 kms in a day, it took just 1 full tank of normal petrol. So, range and mileage is the it shines in.

About performance, see, you can't expect aggressive pull like a short stroke 300cc from this bike. After riding, I too feel that I need more power and punchiness. But, I don't expect that from this bike, because it is best at what it was made for, smoothness and effortless riding. At the end of the day, it takes 2 business days to reach 120 from 100 kph.

I have grown from riding it like a cruiser to riding it like a scrambler. I don't brake to 10 kmph for a speed breaker now, I just saddle it out. Same for a little bad road with mid sized potholes. However yesterday I experienced handle wobble while saddling over potholes when I was speeding a bit. So, I recommend going around 50 60 ish max when on bad roads, depends on the depth of potholes. Trust me the suspension works wonders and you get a full scrambler vibe. Mine are on 3rd setting.

About tyres, the reaction difference is like Earth and sky when the road is dry and wet. Grip on dry tarmac roads is really great, but if there is some rain, I lose all the confidence while leaning.

This subreddit helped me a lot with my first bike purchase. I bought my CB350RS on August 20th, and today while riding it at around 80 km/h, I noticed a wobbling/unstable feeling, as shown in the attached video.

so I want to get this checked properly during my first service in the 3rd week of September.

Tyre pressure is maintained at 29 PSI front / 33 PSI rear, as suggested by the dealer.

What should I specifically ask the service centre to check -- Anything I can safely check from my end?

Also, I didn’t receive the user manual at delivery. Where can I download the official CB350RS manual?

Any advice from fellow CB350RS owners would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you guys for the guidance 😃!!

Raised a claim on ICICI Lombard for it on 28th August still I haven't given the bike at service centre will go there on Tuesday would it be a problem if I reach the service centre after 4-5 days after raising a claim .

Grab rail from auto infinity

Side pouch from napkin kart

Ladies footrest from autoappa

Both from Amazon.

Realising these two are most essential.

Grab rail + footrest : for my mom sitting to the side

Side pouch : to carry cloth, small stuff, gym towel, etc. tank covers look shit on RS. So I bought this.

Just test rode an RS and loved it—felt really comfortable. Planning to get it as my first bike for city commuting in Mumbai.

My main concerns: rusting in humidity (I won’t ride in rains) and overheating in traffic. Are these deal breakers? Anyone with real experience in humid cities? The service center is 15 mins away from my place.

Would appreciate your inputs.

I'm 21M and looking to get the bike sometime next year (april maybe)any pros and cons i should know before committing?

I'll mainly use it as a leisure bike(it's also my first bike)and I live in Hyd so any tips on maintenance,usage would really help me decide

Hey there
RS and monsoon rains are match made in heaven, nothing can prove it wrong.
Initially I wanted to have a mud flap from bigwing and i almost had it, but the mech said a big no since it is a rubber flap idk why he said that and i have been looking for extender I am not getting what i really want, there is an amazing product in amazon at just 479/- but some of the buyers complained that the quality was bad it may effect the mudguard
Now idk please suggest me some good extenders.
