It is a new demo with 186 miles on it.  Anything I should watch out for?  Any maintenance items I should expect?  How soon should I change the oil, and, most importantly, I live in Denver, so we're a mile above sea level.  Any adjustments or tweaks i should make to compensate for this?  Any input is much appreciated-thank you!

The EFI is programmed and real world tested to work as advertised at an altitude of 18,000+ Ft above sea level.

 The one thing to watch out for is the sudden onset of an acute condition known as perma grin.  It occurs on the first ride.

Enjoy the bike.
No matter where you go, there, you are.

@retrobikeguy:

Welcome to the Forum.  This bike looks pretty good. 

There is a separate Section called Bullet with UCE Engine in the Forum where all the newer bikes (like the one in your picture) C5, G5, B5 are all discussed in detail there.  Lots of info.  You can read the threads or do a search on a topic.  The search box is on the top left.

2009 Royal Enfield Black G5

Congratulations on about to buy a C5. I don't know much about the EFI Enfields except everyone loves theirs. You shouldn't have any problems with the EFI in Denver though. Others will let you know about the maintenance.

BTW, are you looking at that at Sportique Scooters? If so, I put a few of those 186 miles on it. I test rode both a C5 & G5 there. Didn't buy one because I love my 2002 and can have only one bike.
