Royal Enfield Scram 440 back on sale after brief hiatus, bookings re-open

Royal Enfield has re-opened order books for the new Scram 440 in India, after sales were stopped a few months ago. The new Royal Enfield Scram 440 was launched in January this year as a replacement to the Scram 411. While the model witnessed several improvements over its predecessor, including a bigger and more powerful engine, several issues with the bike forced the makers to stop sales for sometime.

The issue was related to a faulty engine component on the Royal Enfield Scram 440. The component, the ‘Woodruff key’, which connects the rotating parts to shafts and is located within the magneto assembly, needed to be replaced. Due to the issue, the motorcycle would fail to start after stalling in the middle of the ride. The issue was evident in some of the early bikes dispatched to customers. Royal Enfield then decided to suspend sales when the deliveries were still in their infancy, till the issue was resolved.
