could you show how to charge the battery once you remove it at home. That is one of the major issues faced during lockdown or when your bike is kept idle for more than 1 month.

[@ijs_diy]

@@leftlobestrained check out the jump starting video that would help. For charging you can take out the battery and connect it with you home inverter directly after removing Inverter battery and keep the charge on low if inverter has that option otherwise keep it as it is. Inverter should give enough charge in 4 to 6 hrs. Usually jump starting work fine.

[@leftlobestrained]

@@ijs_diy forgot to mention thanks to the lockdown..got a flat tyre too..so jump starting won't happen. Don't have an inverter option too 😔

[@ijs_diy]

@@leftlobestrained then the only thing you can do is to take some neighbor Hood friend's help and get it jump started with his Motorcycle or car or take the battery out to his place if he has a inverter. Otherwise you need to buy trickle charger or battery tender. Charging with car is not possible just jump start is possible. For flat Tyre , if it is only a air leak the try to get a foot or hand pump to fill it.

Well explained brother

I am in the USA and have a 2019 Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor. Your video helped me figure out how to get to the negative post on the battery so I could install a trickle charger. Thanks!

[@harshasridharan4009]

Hi Inderjeet, I just followed your video, and took out and charged my Interceptor battery. Great instructions, and they worked like clockwork. Just one thing, tell your viewers to take care when attaching the belt to strap on the battery, it's quite tough. Thanks for a great job!

[@ijs_diy]

Thanks and sure would keep in mind.

[@btechrohit]

I was able to replace battery very easily following your videos. Your guidance is best on what I could find on this topic on internet. Now I feel confident. In my case, battery didn't turn out to be a reason for non starting of bike, rather it was loose spark plug. ( But useful learning) Appreciate if some guidance can be there to troubleshoot spark clubs as well. Thank you.

[@ijs_diy]

Thanks ❤️ Would try for the plug part.

[@Raynorvd]

Swapped to a very light li-ion battery, your step by step help made it a relaxing, easy job. Many thanks!

[@GrtSatan]

I will be pulling my battery and connecting it to a maintenance charger prior to parking the bike for the season. Enfield recommends draining all the fuel for long term storage but my usual practice is to fill the tank and add fuel stabilizer, then run the stabilized fuel through the system for a few minutes prior to parking the machine . Any thoughts on this? It has served me well in the past on both fuel injected and carburretted machines and prevents the formation of rust inside the tank.

[@ijs_diy]

What Re has recommended in the owners book is something which most manufacturer/companies recommend here in India, but again your way of doing the storage process is also right adding fuel stabilizers prevent moisture and rust. Taking battery off is important which you are already going to do so I see both process as correct. We don't have to do seasonal storage here as weather is good for riding all year. Also if possible keep both wheel off the ground to avoid flat patch on the tyre.

[@lalramtiamahrangdo9084]

hi inder.. i am currently in the process of putting the battery back right now, but the screws that hold both terminals can't seem to tighten. i am wondering if this is how it should be?

[@ijs_diy]

No the screw should tighten properly use a different tool or try new screws

Hi is it only required to disconnect negetive coupler for stopping discharge for 1 month

[@ijs_diy]

Never tried it . I always disconnect both terminals.

[@adityaneelkanth]

Sir my GT650 is 3 years old. Yesterday i wasn't able to start it. On self start, there's a tik-tik-tik sound and entire meter warning lights fluctuate. There's no engine cranking. Checked all fuses and they are fine. Could it be because battery is dead? Because horn, indicator, lights etc are working

[@ijs_diy]

Yes probably the battery is too weak to crank the motor. A weak battery might give current to lights and horn but the amps gets too low when u press the self starter.

[@adityaneelkanth]

@@ijs_diy thank you so much sir :)

Why is your air filter box cover inlet pointed straight up instead of to the rear and down. Looks like a water trap.

Yes i noticed it too and it was fixed correctly that day only. It was probably done by some novice RE mechanic at their workshop.

[@hormuzdyrgabba9889]

Thank you Inder, one question I have this peculiar problem of battery light comin on whilst the bike is running. So I followed your video to remove and charge. It showed full charge within 10 mins . Any idea

[@ijs_diy]

Probably the rr unit is faulty and battery is getting over charged . Get the charging current of alternator and rr unit checked , service center would do it and replace the rr unit if needed.

Had starting trouble checked battery got drained and also the sides of the battery was concave will the battery work if charged again or have to get new one without second thought

[@ijs_diy]

Depends on how it holds the charge. Get it charged and check the volts with pressing self, if it drops below 10 then definitely time to change. 2+years is a good time to change for weak batteries max stretch is 2.5 to 3 years.
