- Are you struggling to start your Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 after it has been sitting idle for months? In this video, I share my experience of trying to start my Continental GT 650 after 4 months, but the bike refuses to start due to a dead battery! But don’t worry-I’ll show you the exact step-by-step process to diagnose the issue, charge the battery at home, and even replace it if necessary.
Many of us face this problem when our motorcycles sit unused for a long time, especially during winter or when we don’t ride frequently. The most common reason behind this issue is a weak or completely dead battery. If your bike is not starting and you’re wondering what to do next, this guide is perfect for you!
What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅ Why my Continental GT 650 didn’t start after 4 months
✅ How to diagnose a dead or weak battery
✅ How to charge your motorcycle battery at home easily
✅ When to replace the battery & the best way to do it
✅ Step-by-step DIY guide to fixing the issue
✅ Finally, successfully starting the bike after fixing the problem
This method is super easy, and you don’t need any advanced tools or mechanical skills. Anyone can follow these steps at home and bring their bike back to life!
Step-by-Step Process to Fix a Dead Bike Battery:
1️⃣ Checking the Battery Condition - First, I tried to start my bike, but it didn’t crank. The dashboard lights were dim, which indicated a weak battery.
2️⃣ Inspecting the Terminals - I checked the battery terminals for corrosion or loose connections. Cleaning and tightening them is crucial.
3️⃣ Testing Battery Voltage - Using a multimeter, I measured the battery voltage. A healthy battery should have around 12.6V; mine was far below this.
4️⃣ Jumpstarting the Bike (Optional) - If you have jumper cables, you can try jumpstarting using another battery. However, I decided to charge mine instead.
5️⃣ Charging the Battery at Home - I connected my battery to a smart charger and let it charge for several hours until it reached the required voltage.
6️⃣ Installing the Battery Back - After charging, I reinstalled the battery and checked the connections.
7️⃣ Testing the Bike - Finally, I pressed the starter, and guess what? My Continental GT 650 roared back to life!
This is a simple and cost-effective method to revive your bike without taking it to a mechanic.
When Should You Replace Your Battery?
If your battery doesn’t hold a charge even after charging, it might be time for a replacement. Signs that your battery needs replacement:
✔️ Repeated failure to start even after charging
✔️ Battery voltage drops quickly
✔️ Swollen or leaking battery
In such cases, replacing the battery is the best solution. I have also explained how to replace your battery at home step by step.
Why You Should Maintain Your Bike’s Battery
Regular maintenance can prevent such issues. Here are some tips to keep your battery healthy:
✔️ Start your bike at least once a week if not riding regularly
✔️ Use a battery tender/charger if you leave your bike unused for months
✔️ Keep battery terminals clean and tight
✔️ Avoid leaving accessories ON when the engine is off
By following these simple tips, you can avoid the hassle of a dead battery in the future.
If your Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 or any other bike is facing a similar issue, follow this easy guide and fix it at home. No need to visit a mechanic or spend extra money when you can do it yourself!

Thanks bhai meri gt me bhi yahi problem aa rahi rhi , aapse ek question hai ki hame apni gt roz start karni padti hsi kya ?? Please reply 😢
Meri bike v mai bohot rarely use karta hu. But agar hafte mai v 2 baar start krloge yaa thoda chala loge to battery down nhi hogi.
@@AryanSinghRai me Roz hi chalta hu bhai fir bhi ho rha hai 🥹🤧
Fir it might be a possibility ki battery faulty hone ka issue hai. In case agar 3-4 sal purani battry hai to thand m ye hina normal hai
@@AryanSinghRai ok thanks brother 🙂🥰
My battery is not charging while using the bike jumpstart karne ke baad
Then might be a possibility that your battery is gone. Is that too old?
@AryanSinghRai no it's a year old orginal that came with the bike
@@MannerlessBrute this is very common with Gt and interceptor. Try charging the battery if it still doesn’t work. Then unfortunately you have to replace the battery. Also before doing that check the fuses some times they also casue issues and you will think the battery is gone.
