How to fix a Royal Enfield BULLET TRIALS 500 Motorcycle that does not start?
- A
  Anthony SmithJul 28, 2025
  If your Royal Enfield Motorcycle engine won't start, first ensure the ignition/engine stop switch is in the “ON” position. Also, check the fuel level and fill the tank if it's very low or empty. If the lights or horn are very dim, or the battery is completely dead, replace the battery. Another potential cause is a blown fuse, which you should replace with the appropriate one. If it blows again, contact an Authorised Service Center. Finally, check if the spark plug cap/wire is disconnected and reconnect it. Also, verify that the gear is not engaged and the side stand is up. If the ambient temperature is low, use the bi-starter.

Why does my Royal Enfield BULLET TRIALS 500 have poor pickup?
- C
  Carol FerrellAug 8, 2025
  If your Royal Enfield Motorcycle has poor pickup, and the engine RPM rises disproportionately to the motorcycle speed, check for a sticky clutch or if the clutch has any free play. Also, verify that the rear chain isn't excessively loose, causing it to slip on the sprocket; if so, adjust the rear chain to the correct tension.
