Having launched the new variants of the Bullet 350 recently at Rs. 1.12 lakh (ex-showroom), Royal Enfield has gone a step further and revised the service interval across its motorcycle range in a bid to reduce the cost of ownership. The bike maker has announced that it will commence the use of a new set of processes and technology, coupled with a new mix of semi-synthetic oil, for servicing. These initiatives will now increase the service interval on its motorcycles from the current three months/3000 km to six months/5000 km.
