I'm taking my new 2023 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 for its first work commute today. I'm taking it easy for another 100 miles to complete the break-in period, then it's going to be road trip time! This is a long commute video, so skip around with the chapter markers below.

Time indexes:
0:00 First commute on the Hunter 350!
2:44 Recommended break-in procedure?
4:30 First refuel for the Hunter, operating the center stand and fuel lid
6:52 First fuel economy numbers, not accurate due to previous under-fill
9:35 The slow idle is still messing with my head
12:45 Plans for custom exhaust, tuning computer, and other touring aids
14:05 Starting the freeway commute, valve check/adjust intervals?
17:08 No complaints about the bike so far, but the horn is a joke!
18:59 Smooth engine and pleasant vibrations, speedometer deviation
21:15 Brakes feel good so far, but I haven't exercised them yet

47:47 Early morning ride tomorrow to finish the break-in miles?
