Q. I have read so many complaints about tbd500,like efi problems,sudden break downs etc.Is there any problem with tbd500.Is it so unreliable bike?dealers are also saying old tbd is not coming if u are booking one you will only get an old piece is it true - Thunderbird 500?

Theres LOTS of prblms with TB500. Every few months something or other has to be replaced. In 3 yrs I have replaced at 1/3rd of the original parts...some just wear out, others break down. Chain sprocket- 2 times, Fuel guage-2 times and still doesnt show correct fuel levels, ignition assembly 1 time, headlight toggle and indicators assembly-1 time, complete wiring- 1 time, battery current relay-1 time, speedometer assembly support bracket- 3 times, ...the list goes on...and I havent done 50,000 kms in 3 years !!!....DONT BUY TB500 and if you already have then SELL IT OFF !!!

Yup u would have to buy 500x Not a sudden break at all,it requires regular maintainance over period of time, the chain sprocket creats a lot of noise every 3 months so a chain spray is a must. Thats it. The bike is a great experince to drive and at highways jst wave the car drivers u r passing by at 3 digit speed

My TB500 was purchased in 2012....once fuse blew away. ..rectified. ..15000km fuel pump rusted. .I changed to carburettor. ..from then on no problem. ..72000 km done. .happy. ..new TB. .no experience. ..but RE has a strong R&D ..may be they have perfected.
