Royal Enfield Rolls Out Official Fix For Non-E20 Motorcycles

Royal Enfield has announced an official solution for riders of older motorcycles that are not compliant with E20 fuel standards. With India moving toward wider adoption of ethanol-blended petrol, the company has launched E20-compatible carburettor kits to help owners of legacy models adapt without compromising performance or reliability.  

The kits are designed to address issues such as material degradation, corrosion, and reduced efficiency that older motorcycles face when running on E20 fuel. By introducing revised seals and upgraded components, Royal Enfield ensures that its popular models from the BS3 and BS4 era remain roadworthy and compatible with the new fuel standards.  

Key highlights from the update include  

• Royal Enfield launches E20-compatible carburettor kits for older motorcycles  
• Available for Classic 350, Bullet 350, Thunderbird, and Electra models (BS3 and BS4)  
• Kits feature revised seals and components to prevent corrosion and material wear  
• Ensures smoother performance and compliance with India’s ethanol-blended fuel rollout  
• Supports government’s push toward greener fuel adoption without sidelining legacy bikes  

Industry experts note that this move strengthens Royal Enfield’s commitment to sustainability while protecting the interests of long-time riders. By offering retrofit solutions, the company bridges the gap between evolving fuel standards and the large base of existing motorcycles, ensuring continuity and customer trust.
