Can I Get a Modified Enfield Silencer from the Royal Enfield Showroom?

Hey Rider, as of now, it is not possible to get a modified silencer from the Royal Enfield showroom. This decision has been influenced by the Indian Government's stringent measures against sound pollution caused by aftermarket exhausts, particularly those fitted onto Royal Enfields.

Recent Changes in Regulations

The Royal Enfield has halted the manufacture and sale of exhausts, other than the original ones, due to the government's strict actions. The government has taken measures such as issuing fines (called chalans) in major cities, which can escalate in severity if the exhausts are too noisy. In extreme cases, they can even break the exhausts from bikes, causing damage to the vehicles.

In addition to this, aftermarket exhausts have been found to violate the emission norms set by the government. This has further intensified the ban on modifications.

Historical Context

Not so long ago, the situation was different. If you had asked a couple of months ago, I would have been able to say yes, modifications were indeed possible. However, due to the recent changes in regulations and the government's strict stance, it is no longer feasible to modify the exhausts in the traditional sense.

Steps to Take Before Modification

If you still wish to modify your Royal Enfield's exhaust, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the current rules and regulations. Understanding these guidelines can help you avoid any legal trouble. The best approach would be to consult the Royal Enfield showroom or website for any authorized modification kits, which are likely to be within legal bounds.

Conclusion

Remember to ride safely and responsibly. The mandate for noise-reduction aims to improve the overall environment, so we should all respect and adhere to these new regulations.

Thank you for your understanding.
