I would add: Remove the push rod cover and pour a little of the new oil in there. It negates the "dry start". Also, remove the quill bolt from the timing chest while draining the old oil, there is old oil behind it and it will drain into the sump. Just pull it and wait a few minutes before replacing it. Soak the filter in clean oil before replacing it. Otherwise, great job.
Thanks for the tutorial brother🙏🏼 Have a 68 with the exact same operation but 5spd gears on the right. Will not shift past 2nd gear..changing all the fluids right now
hey, do you find it difficult to push the bike off the centre stand? i find your centre stand at a much forward position. I have the same issue with my classic 350.
Thanks! That’s not a bad idea. It’s a very thin element and I’m not sure how much it would hold but, an ounce of (cavitation) prevention may that literally takes 3 seconds of time may be worth a pound of no-oil headache ;)
Yes and no.... It has a separate gearbox side lubricant...but its not oil. Per the manual its grease! Use green grease and you have to get it warm by riding and its best to and suck it out with a hand pump. The manual says to bake the grease in a pan to get it hot enough to pour it in (no joke). There is an approximate 2' nut/cover on the left side. I stuffed the green grease in a plastic bag and squeezed it into the reservoir. I probably should make a video lol.
@@MCCJustMotos I respect your decision, if you ever make your mind up your mind to sell it you can reach out to me at aulakhparmvir@gmail.com. Also, remember anything’s for sale if the price is adequate.

Thanks for the great tip! You ride a Bullet i’m guessing too? What year/Color?
Great video, thanks for the tip on cleaning the oil filter.
Thanks Max! You have a Royal Enfield too?
@@MCCJustMotos Yes, a bullet electra. It's a great fun bike. I'm reliving my youth.
@@maxwellkaan awesome!!

Awesome, glad I could help! Let me know if oil change did it!
Nice step by step video brother!!!
Thanks! Now I can’t wait to get some wheel time with this thing!
Very very nice
Thanks you much!!
Great video, thanks. My Bullet looks exactly like yours but was made in 2000. Do you know anything about what kind of oil to use in the gearbox?
Cool! Yes I do, I’ll check in the AM (for me) and lee you know.
That's a good looking motorcycle 😁✌
Thanks Karthik!
@@MCCJustMotos please make more videos about the motorcycle 😊
@@karthiksubramani4102 I plan on it! I have a whole Bullet 500 Playlist :)

Hmm I have no issues..here is my latest bullet, it only has a center stand..czcams.com/video/5qTgZ7E8Qdg/video.html
thanks .
I would add one thing : soak the filter in oil before installing

Do the big bore 540 kits fit on this 500?
Not sure.....I know hitchcocks would be the folks to ask :)
I found same bike but it seems it has electrical issues. Is it worth it buying to fix?
Hey Diwash1! I love these bikes and the electrical to fix is not very hard if you know a little bit about what you’re doing. They are very good bikes
Is there separate gearbox oil? And do you have to change the oil on the primary side? Thanks

@@MCCJustMotos thanks for letting me know 👍
@@MCCJustMotos yea a video would be helpful 👍👍thanks man
@@MrJasy46 of course!
@@MrJasy46 I’ll try and fit in a video to my schedule next time I need to change!
brother please change air filter also on ever service
you not change clutch oil also
Smart choice, thanks!
Hey, can I buy your bike? I have been looking for a bike like this for months.
Sorry...I only have my sidcar Royal Enfield for sale now...czcams.com/video/rZd0wA5Nf_M/video.html

Is this the AVL engine?
I don’t believe so. They AVL’s were cast aluminum and this is an Iron Barrel engine
Cast iron.
yup :)
nice vid, but please do the oil change from the otherside of the bike. the pipes get fucking hot
Thanks and GREAT suggestion!!
