Loved the Super Meteor 650 but there are 3 deal-breaker issues for me

I am not sure whether Royal Enfield is keen on solving this problem as the motorcycle has been out for a year now.

BHPian Theron_blr recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I took a 500 km test drive of this monster a while back which helped me figure out if I should buy this beast or not.

Here are my main problems with this bike

• Suspension: So far, I have not heard of any viable replacement options for the suspension. I'm not sure if RE is keen on correcting this part since it has been out for a year.
• Front heavy: Compared to my Avenger, I can feel the heavy front, especially when making U-turns. I think if the angle of the front wheel can be changed (red line), it may help reduce the front weight. Is it possible to change this angle?

• Handlebar is far: The standard handlebar is wide and forward, so I have to stretch forward and my upper back has to open up, putting some strain on it. The blue line represents the reach. Is there a way to bring the handlebars a little closer up by a few inches and maybe reduce their span?

I loved the bike except for these 3 deal-breaker issues.

Here's what BHPian Waspune had to say about the matter:

The stiff rear suspension of the Super Meteor is a well-known fact. However, I have read that setting the pre-load by 1/2 steps makes it more compliant. It might sound counter intuitive, but it seems to work as per a lot of YouTube reviews of Super Meteor in the western market.

So I would urge SM owners to try doing this before thinking of an aftermarket suspension. Would help other prospective buyers as well!
