      If your Royal Enfield Motorcycle engine won't start, ensure the ignition/engine stop switch is in the ON position. Also, check the fuel level and refill if it's very low or empty. If the lights or horn are very dim, or the battery is weak, discharged, or completely dead, replace the battery. Check the fuse and replace it if it's blown. If it blows again, contact an authorized service center. Finally, check that the spark plug cap/wire is connected and reconnect it if it's disconnected.
