Tanks for that 😂 Got the same problem,you're a legend 👍

So you don't replace the large o-ring that is used on the seal plate?

My rattle is coming for INSIDE the tank. Any ideas?

I do hope that you find your new Classic 500 as good as I find my 2018 Classic 500. Looking forward on a review later on.

An update video of how you find in the bike after running it in would be great

At one point it showed me error E05 on Bosch Maxx 7, after a while the hose from the valves burst. I didn't knew that trick. I just tried to clean the holes with a small nail. of the shower. Thanks a lot, I'll try it.

What a great tip, i will look into this solution of yours on my bike. I own a 2018 Classic 500 that got 19400km on the odo by now and the bike has worked flawless all the time. Once again thanks for the tip.

I've happily subscribed to your channel. I believe you're offering a fresh approach to issues that many have just accepted. I've owned my Classic 500 since 2015 and the rear wheel alignment still perplexes me. In the end, what was the ultimate solution for you? Was it just aligning the the rear axel to be parallel to the swingarm pivot bolt with your custom tool, or were there other considerations such as the alignment between the front and rear wheels. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Sir! You helped thousands of us!))) ❤

Thank you, another addition to my knowledge of my 500 EFI. Much appreciated!

I Love my 2018 Classic 500. I have only 4,800 kilometres on it now. It makes so many noises this gives me an idea where one of the noises comes from and how I can deal with it. Thank you! In my part if Canada my bike is now parked until temperatures rise to above freezing and thus safe to ride again. That means I have time to do this! Thank you!

An interesting video, I have the same problem with my 500 Tribute black with 8000 miles on it.

Great, thank you for the video! It is a good feeling to have an idea where rattling noises may have their origins. Compared to not even having a notion.😅 Congrats for having removed another annoying noise.

RE Classic 500 EFI Euro4 petrol tank has developed an increasingly loud rattle at certain engine revs. The buffers on my bike seem to be made of hard fibre rather than compliant rubber and they have worn after only 3,250 miles. This is how I removed the tank, what I found and, in the absence of better improved aftermarket parts, attempted to fix the problem. I might try to source some suitable compliant rubber to make new buffers in the future but this is working well for now.

Great video - love the idea of preventative maintenance - would love to see some more along a similar vein.

Great tool by the way

Hi great vidio i to have the same problem with my bullit adjusters are useless i got a tip from one of the indian users measuring the distance from the adjuster nut to the end of the adjuster bolt i to had my bike pulling to the right not to bad now but just cant get it perfect

Nice video sir I have the same bullet 500 it's a real beast.

How do you put the face back on?

Thanks for your great effort and solution of this little but important problem. A simple solution which makes life so much easier. Keep on sharing your good ideas. 😊

Thank you, excellent advice! I also have a stealth black Classic 500, although I have added a bit of chrome here and there. I will follow these procedures, makes a lot of sense, cheers.

Great vid, good mods. Shame they can't do that in the factory, but sorting that and other build quality issues would no doubt drive the price up somewhat.

Good video...bike belongs in a skip...indian shite

The two studs on the gauze filter, are they just the two bolts which came fitted to the bike, but with the heads sawn off?

Looking forward to viewing more of your travels with the 500.

Nice tool! 🙌🏻

Hood tops. Thanks. How did you lock in the studs? Lock tight?

Thank you for this, great tip!

The main rattle l had was my teeth! Miss the old thumper though. Thanks for the video sir

A great job, thoughtfully executed. However, the standard pipe is quite restrictive, especially the double skinned down pipe. There are a couple of suppliers who provide exhaust systems designed for the 500 efi. I have one fitted on my 500, and the difference was noticeable. The EMU copes perfectly well and I have experienced no adverse effects. I thought you may like to know. Great channel by the way.

Brilliant 👍

I am aligning the rear wheel by measuring the distance between the center of the wheel axis to the end of the swing arm back plate on both sides of the bike. I just use a ruler. If the distances are equal, it is fine. I agree, i consider the marks as useless.

I’m a bit confused, (easily done!) Are you saying when tightening the axle locknut the sprocket nut is turning too and this is swinging the whole of that side forward? Surely just using a spanner on the sprocket nut to hold it in place while torquing the axle nut would alleviate the problem.

Very good solution, l have the same problem......

I bought a cheap tool of E-Bay that is magnetic. You place it on the rear wheel next to the sprocket, there’s a rod that go by the chain, by which you can see if the wheel is out of line.

I have had a similar problems, I will try your solution. Thank you.

i have managed to track down and purchase a 2016 desert storm 500 total milage 23 only , yes these 500s with very low milage are about as rare as hens teeth , i hope you will enjoy your new 500 .

Thank you, sir, for recounting your experience with Royal Enfield motorcycles. Your account was really useful and well-delivered. Years ago I put many miles on a really pretty, little BSA 250 cc, single cylinder Starfire. I loved that bike on the twisting, narrow roads around my home in Kentucky's Cumberland Plateau. I then "graduated" to a 650 cc Thunderbolt twin which was a fine machine. But almost immediately I realized how much I preferred singles. Before I die I'd love to ride a Royal Enfield 500. I used to fantasize about a Matchless G-80cs 500 scrambler. It was a revelation when I first saw Royal Enfield.

Worth a try. Thanks.

Thankyou dear

Much as I appreciate that your frame may have been twisted out of line by poor engine installation (a drawback I guess of the engine being a stressed member), are you sure you are carrying out the straight edge procedure correctly? On my bullet Trials 500 the front and rear tyres have different widths....the front being narrower than the back. Using a straight edge as I think you have used it in the video ( tyre sidewall front to tyre sidewall rear) without accounting for the width difference is bound to lead to alignment inaccuracy. Check the other side and I suspect that it will be a mile out. Of note however, on my bike, even with the tyre widths accounted for, it still pulls to one side....I've given up!

Very creative. Good job 👏

These single cylinder g model mskes one of d best sound ever

How long are these bikes being built? It's simply not good enough this day and age.lovely bike pity sounds cheap build.

I've have similar frustrations on my 2020 Bullet 500 Trials. Your sliding point tool assumes that the frame accuracy forward of the swing arm pivot right down to the headstock and front fork/wheel is going to be perfect. I have concluded that it is not. My latest method involves a steel straight edge with stand offs to get the measuring points on the rear wheel higher up (by clearing the mainstand).. and then measuring back to the front wheel on both sides front and back. It's a right faff that I have wasted hours working on....and guess what?..the bike still pulls to one side. I've actually given up trying to better the results that I have obtained and concluded that the frame and or wheels are manufactured to very lax standards of accuracy. Such is the quality of this model of motorcycle....It ain't perfect that's for sure!

I think I would just buy a nice Hitchcock Motorcycles exhaust. A lot lighter and sound amazing!

Enjoy your new bike. Our weather is just warming up over here in South Australia

Is that a gear indicator next to the left handlebar mirror?

sir....do you have an idea on how to stop my royal enfield classic 350 from leaking petrol around the fuel petcock....i think my petcock o ring just got flattened

Keep bringing such vidoes. 🙂
