Thank you very much, this is very helpful for me, i just bought a used bullet 500 classic efi and have to bring it home for a very long ride and first i do ist setup the carburator perfectly fine with your help.
Hope while doing this I don't end up in a big 'screw up'...lol... A very very informative and practical video my friend. Haven't come across such simple instructions on TH-cam. You've helped a lot of people. Keep your videos coming...
Hi Frank, thank you for your positive comments. Carb setting is a very simple process so nothing should go wrong if done correctly. I have also written a detailed tutorial on some issues that might arise with improper carb setting and how to rectify it. Please go the the link below to know more enfieldmaintenance.blogspot.in/2016/03/bullet-standard-500-carburetor-ucd33.html
Good Informative Video. Thanks for Sharing. And you are just fine the way you have presented. No need to change based on what others feel or think about your presentation skills (You are good and you will get better ). Do Keep sharing instructional videos like these.
Thanks Ramesh. Your positive comments keep me motivated to make more videos. I have not being posting videos past few weeks as I was in leh. Expect a flurry of videos now that I am back. 👍
+Enfield Performance Welcome back, hope u had a great trip. I had posted a query on your web page, can you kindly provide me you opinion/advice please. that would be so helpful. cheers.
Hi All, I own a Bullet Standard 500 & got my first service done.. There's a lot of pickup noise/slapping noise in the engine.. Is this common across all Standard 500 models or am I fooled by the service engineer? Also, will tuning of carburetor help solving the pickup noise issue? Help much appreciated.. Thanks in advance..
old machine push rod-system poor quality of sapres=old bullet, despite of all the earlier bullet riding is good with the very special beating but this new UCE engine is totally faulty ,stay way from efi engines
Amazing man ! My carb achieves its highest rpm at 4 turns (8 half turns) and remains constant till 5 n a half turns (11 half turns) and 6 turns the rpms drop (12 half turns) so i generally keep it at 5 n a half turns(11 half turns) im definately gonna try 4 turns n see since thats where my bull achieves the sweet spot ill definately benifit on the average ill let u know after a week thanks for video mate . . . Amazing job 👍
+Enfield Performance man i tried the way u showed us in the video . . . and it turns out my carb achieves highest rpm at 6 half turns from fully closed position . . . it remains constant till 11 half turns and then at 12 half turns it drops and i have been setting it at 12 . . . but if i go with 6 the engines gets heated up too soon and it kinda runs outta juice while ripping it . . . i can climp uphill at 110kms per hr on 12 turns but cant cross 90 uphill on 6 turns
+Enfield Performance i do know if that i will be missing out on the mileage if im.keeping it double than what the bull needs but im pretty happy with the performance and yea also the deep bass thump at 12 half turns is kinda amazing . . . so tried both ur way and my way but liking my way but did understood alot of basics via ur video really appreciate it man good job 👍
nice video... good tell me which tachometer are u using ? i guess this is the one which easily available in any shop and ebay. i question is what is the frequency of this tachometer. is it 8.333 hz or 16.66hz? it suppose to have 8.33 hz for single cylinder 4 stroke engine.
I can do it,but want to confirm that im gettting a good position after 3turns full and between 3.half and little over it.want to know can i run in these position whether ill get mileage in exact that rising change position,,.
Hi Rishi, I am afraid I don't understand your question. If you are asking whether you want to test it on different number of turns to check which on is best. yes you can try doing it. just don't ride too long. As a lean setting if ridden too long can harm the engine by heating it up and a rich setting can soot and foul up the spark plugs.
half a turn above the optimum setting should be fine. half a turn below the optimum setting if it is not heating the engine too much should also be good.
hi I purchased a k&n e0900 performance filter for my bullet 500 do I rejet my carburetor for getting an exact performance? service centre guys told me run with the stock settings bcoz am using a stock exhaust
Hi bro, I did this on my 1981 year RE bike. I got 2 complete revs in factory setting and I changed the revs to 1 and half by checking 4 times. Now, my bike performance increased. I have done this on 24th Dec and performance is good and went for a ride of 50kms. On 25th Dec I didn't ride my bike and while I starting my bike on Dec 26th, It's not starting. I turned the idle screw click-wise for acceleration and it started but, when ever I'm decelerating it is stopping. Smoke also coming more while accelerating. Previously, my bike is good with no defects. Could you help me ASAP?
Nagaraju Nag hi nagaraju, during winters most bikes will stop while idling as engine does not heat up properly. easiest solution is to just increase the idling. However in case smoke is coming out it means your bull is running rich. You can try resetting to old factory setting or retune the carb for the winter setting the same way.
I thought something bad going to happen to my bike but, restored with factory setting. After few days I'll try again the above method you showed. Can you tell me how many revolutions we have to turn the idle screw ? Thanks, helped a lot ;)
@@vickyvinay23 You should remember the screws position before changing the position of it. This helps to fix when there’s any issue with the performance or mileage. If you don’t remember then take it to a good mechanic and he will solve the issue.
Hi anant , my tachometer is connected to the alternator. Since alternator gives out a spark for every rotation of the engine by measuring the spark you can measure the rpm. Any competent auto electrician should be able to hook it up.
Hi Vignesh, for leh ladakh this setting would work out. in case you feel hiccups on the mountains you can choose to make it half turn leaner. This video I mainly aimed at Bullet however if you get the concept you can apply to any carbureted motorbike.
hi ashwani follow the instructions and fix it yourself. get detailed description here enfieldmaintenance.blogspot.in/2016/03/bullet-standard-500-carburetor-ucd33.html
+ashwani lamba Hi ashwani. please read the detailed guide it has a point about engine knocking too. In case still it does not go away there might be another problem which you'll have to get checked.
Do i need to change my carb jets for a free flow silencer? Ive installed greasehouse megaphone silencer and the engine misfires sometime... So can i use the same method as shown in ur video?
Sandesh kini The misfiring in free flow silencers happens due to EGR pipe. It is specially pronounced when you are down throttling. The easy solution is to block the EGR pipe as mentioned in the usage tips in the blog enfieldperformance.blogspot.in/2015/11/red-rooster-performance-exhaust-review.html
Can you please confirm after effect on blocking/closing the ERG. Also Today i was trying to block but the hole is too big to be blocked by ball baring. Can you give some light. Or tomorrow i will be using close head nut to block it. Need info if there is any issue after closing it. I have STD 500 Mash grey model. Also i have order tachometer from Enfieldzone. can you share detail video on connection. if you can share via whatsaap will be good, i believe edinting video will take time 7303423456.
Sandesh kini Hey bro. this method wont stop misfires. your bullet is misfiring as ur silencer is free flow and does not create enough back pressure for the EGR to work properly. you will need to bloxk the EGR with a ball bearing or nut for it to stop misfiring
superb video! I'm gonna try and do this today. Can you post a contingency plan at the end of the videos? As in what we can do if something goes wrong. Tnanks
Hi Aditya, I am myself not very good at Bullet electricals so would not be able to explain the DIY of tachometer installation. However I can tell you this much that the wire from the tachometer is connected to the alternator. In Delhi you can purchase it from chawla auto spares. If you want to purchase online you can get it from royalenfieldzone.com
I checked most of the videos shows doesn't how to connect a tachometer... I tried to connecting it to the negative side of the ignition coil... Still failed with my std500... Wil wait for ur video
i own a RE CL350 and the problem with my bike is while running the engine seems to stop in betwwen as if there is no fuel and no power is going to the engine... i need to keep revving up the engine so it does not stops and on the signal while m still with the engine idle it stops for no reason shall i adjust the fuel screw or the idle screw m confused.... and i am scared to do it myself... i can get my bull to you if u can help me out and tune up my engine so that i never face the problem in future
hey bro. Seems to be the problem with idle screw. There is nothing to be afraid of. Just note the thread as shown in the video and in case you want to be extra careful mark one of the knobs of the idle screw with a marker. Then start the engine and turn the idle screw Eicher till the engine stops stalling at idle.
bro i have tuned the engine but now want to set the idle rpm so i got a tach hour meter... what it should be set on the tachometer like 01 RPM or 02 RPM ???? its a CL350cc single cylinder 4 stroke twinspark 01 for (spark plug fires twice per revolution) 02 (once per revolution) 03 (every other revolution) 04 (hour only will not display rpm) the default for the sandard model is 02 (once per revolution) i am confused on what to set it 01 or 02 ?
Paresh Vaktania It is 02. Though even without tachometer you can set idle. Just keep turning it till you fell the engine is about to stall. stop right there and the idle is set.
Not at all Harjot, I encourage all constructive feedbacks for my betterment. I hear you when you say that videos should be made in Hindi. However these videos are seen by people abroad as well and I want them to be able to understand me too. Let me find out some way to attach Hindi audio separately in existing TH-cam videos. Might be that would be a viable solution.
Hi terrydeep. The procedure for tuning both the carbs are similar. if you can send me a pic of your carb I can help you identify the screws that are involved.
Thank you Harjot for your frank comment. Professionally as a designer and a photographer most of my work happens behind the camera. Due to this I am a tad nervous when I am put before the lens. Additionally while I am handling the manual work and speaking, I also have to handle the camera and mic. Which shows in the video. Through these videos, while I am trying to help the Bullet Brotherhood, I am also trying to help myself get better in speaking in front of the camera. So here's hoping for better quality videos in the future.

No idea bro. I bought this tachometer from Karol Bagh. It connects to the alternator and gives out reading based on the number of sparks.
does it give exact reading? what is the idling rpm u get?
It is pretty accurate. I get an idling between 900~1000.

Sir this one request can you do the review of royal Enfield standard 350
sure Harjot, however it might take some time as I will have to find someone willing to lend it to me first. Anyways will keep this request in mind.
hi!
could your provide me instructions on how to install a tachometer.
also please guide where to get the same in india

I am myself not very good at Bullet electricals so would not be able to explain the DIY of tachometer installation. However I can tell you this much that the wire from the tachometer is connected to the alternator.
In Delhi you can purchase it from chawla auto spares. If you want to purchase online you can get it from royalenfieldzone.com
is this procedure applicable to classic 350 UCE?
Yes. Works the same way. After you do it a couple of times, you'll be able to do it instinctively even without a tach.
Can u plz make a video how to connect a tachometer to this std 500...
