- Starting the Enfield Diesel at -1,5°C can be difficult. you can do the following tricks: add lighter fluid to the intake air (NOT eather-based liquids like the "quick start-spray", this may ruin your diesel engine, as it has a much higher flash point, and should only be used by petrol engines!!!). 2.) Change the engine Oil from 20W40 (summer oil) to 15W30 (normal oil) or 10W30 when under zero. 3.) it is possible to add oil to the air intake, this will increase the compression, however large amounts of smoke will appear when the engine starts. 4.) Add 15% Petrol to fuel tank, only do this under freezing temperatures. 5.) Warm the intake air, this is difficult, but the most effective thing to do. Keep in mind that when running at freezing temperatures the engine oil SHOULD UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES be changed twice as often as under normal conditions. I know very few people do this, but oil you can buy at any fuel station, but a new motor you can t !!!

I went to the toilet poured myself a drink, came back and the guy was still pumping like a mad man.
Sounds like a fun weekend mate.
:)))))) :))))))) bhahahaha bhahahahaha bhahahahahahahahahahahaahhaahahha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dude, please use a comma. It seems like you have a bar in your toilet from that comment.
but, his toilet is in his bar.. he added the comma before "came back"..
After all that effort, and gasping for breath, you're greeted with a nice big cloud of diesel smoke. Refreshing.
I love the smell of Diesel in the morning!
@@dieselmotorbike2781 well spoken
The police would never catch you on one of this. They would simply lose you in the clouds.
...just like squid and octopus do in the water.
can now kick a rugby/football a distance of 2 miles with his right foot.
Clown...my sides are sore laughing at that comment...Haha
5:17 Thank God. My leg was cramping up just watching you.
Right it finally started but this would never start at -2 degrees. In the end it started because the guy got so hot that it raised the temperature of the surrounding air by a few degrees.
Lol man... u r damn funny..
Just pour hot boiling water over the head, and then it will start with one kick!
(i have an enfield with a 13 HP diesel engine)
I too have a RE diesel bike.
From where you are?
Bob, there is a port on the cylinder head with a rubber bung in it, add a squit of WD40 (NOTHING ELSE) and it will fire first time. I've owned a diesel enfield for 10 years now and use it daily in the UK whatever the weather.
atleast you get nice and warm before going out for a ride. haha..
Hi
As a Enfield Diesel owner my self i have a very different start procedure. I can see that you are not using the decompression valve technic... hence you get very tired :)
My way:
On ordinary diesel fuel:
10-30 degree celsius, set the decompression nod so it stuck, if not stuck, kick until it get stuck, kick with hand gently until it release, then kick again (with your foot) with a LONG stroke, not so fast as a 2 stroke, but firm, it's not a Harly so no need to jump high for show :)
-5-10 degree celsius, set the decompression..., when released add approx 1-2 cm.
-25-5 degree celsius, pore one cup of boiling water over dieselpump, then same as above, you need to find how much to add after release for stroke when it's cold.
All above will be done on first KICK.
Yes you read correctly -25 no problem.
The decompression nod is on the right back side of cylinder head.
Running on pure RME will keep the injector and exhaust perfectly clean, hence i run/ran on that.
Engine might object when switching fule, but just add extra stroke after decompressor released, like if was colder.
So summer RME and winter Diesel.
I have not run it on public road since 2001, but during 1998-2000 i drove it in Stockholm Sweden 1.5 year all year round.
For a Total of approx 27000km, i changed the front gear for a +3 bigger, top speed 115km/h laying on tank :)
Well 20 cm snow on the highway running att 80km/h and cars sounding their horns.... why one wonder :)
It still sitt in my garage waiting for refurbish of wires and possible a makeover for a cafe racer look :)
What is front gear size is , I mean what is meaning of +3 , I have same bike in working condition I want to change gear
Absolutely right
remind me not to buy a diesel motorcycle
A better perfume than Diesel has not yet been invented.
He'd use less calories (and time) walking to wherever he should go...
@@dieselmotorbike2781 absolutely
An absolutely awesome bike! I would love to own one some day! Speaking of which, I have a diesel motorcycle already, it's fully home built, and it has a starting system to get around this problem. It has a tank of propane which goes to a copper pipe with holes in it that wraps around the intake. -20 degrees out and I just open up that propane and light it off and she's ready to run in 2 minutes. Starts on the second kick every time.
I am absolutely worn out watching that start procedure,..but I just love the idea ( and sound ) of having a Diesel engine in a Motorcycle, especially a Triumph. This is the best of both worlds.
But he has to get a block heater and light weight oil for cold weather riding.
Hats off to you......such hard work, but still one of the funniest videos on youtube!
Just change engine oil to 0w40. It stays in liquid form no matter how cold the weather. I use it on my corolla and my 250 honda nx on winter. They start every time nicely, even in -30°C. Or just take a hairdryer, place it enabling to warm the engine and the cylinder. 5-10 of warming is usually plenty enough. This I use when I do my monthly engine warmup runs on my GSX 750 inazuma, which is stored on cold storage during long finnish winter.
wouldnt wanna get kicked by your right leg ! lol . thats a very cool old bike man ! nice
i would get a hairdryer and warm up the air cleaner housing .
No, only women do that.
@@dieselmotorbike2781 Because it's not manly or because most men don't have a hairdryer ?
@@dieselmotorbike2781 hey I have same diesel engine motorbike and it still working well, 👍👌, and giving milage of 80 to 90 kmpl
@Al Morrison use a paint stripper gun. Real men have those. th-cam.com/video/eVvO1tKKjRQ/w-d-xo.html @7.07 minutes
@@dieselmotorbike2781 what
I know what I'd do with the lighter fluid lol
Hey Boss, it's just me again. Don't worry I'll be into work today. What time? Oh, lets say sometime early this afternoon. If not probably tomorrow. What do you mean I'm fired???
*Grin*
:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) :):):)))))))))))))))
What is even more astonishing is that seat, this man is tough as nails.
3:10 not such a cold start anymore
sell the engine and just pedal your way to work, lot faster
Rinus R But less fun.
That lighter fluid worked a treat!
Better workout then I have at the gym.
I love the way that the bike turns through 45 degrees before bike starts. If he'd tried for much longer he would have turned right round.
not suitable for people with weak knee
I have same bike
Maybe you could build an electrically-powered device to turn the rear wheel. In high gear...turning the engine over. Perhaps a configuration like a rock tumbler drive, or a cable spool roller. Front brake on, of course!
I need a nap now.
1) Can't imagine a more dangerous thing than starting this bike: if the engine fires back while kicking, they will find you on the roof;
2) Good luck walking tomorrow. I had a leg aching starting a 70 cc Scooter that did not fire up.
I think this is not a proper way to start a diesel bike
It's much simple,this man is trying hard without using proper technique
Taurus dancer
How many times u break the kick spring?
😅😅
Oh Bob, that was painful, but I'm still a fan of diesels motorcycles. Amelie ,thanks for the Naphtha info, sharp lady
bro get a heavier flywheel and get that thing fitted with elecctric starter...it pains me to see you doing that shit... i too own a diesel bullet and am from india....
very hard work, stinking, loud, slow, weak, old technic, neighbours
hate you - and these are only the positive characteristics (you realy must love that thing) ;-)
Alter! Respekt, Du hast nicht aufgegeben - Super!
Irgendwann kauf ich mir auch ein DIESEL-Moped, momentan favorisiere ich allerdings eine SOMMER mit HATZ-Dieselmotor.
Nein, man darf NIE aufgeben!!!
ja, zu der Sommer kann ich (und alle anderen) sich nur positiv äusern. Sie hat einen E-start, und ausreichend Ps, und das zeuch vom Sommer hat auch wirklich hand-und-fuss.
Your bike needs attention. Specially diesel should not start like that.
you dont even know how to kick start it.. ull just break your legs
That must be amazing to drive. A complete travel in time.
i think he is not aware of decompression lever
i know you probably don't want to modify it, but why not put a little port on the intake runner so you can drop the starting fluid in post filter?
if india decide to make a weed wacker God help us
There's issues it shouldn't take all this bs to start it
Trick i use that helps is rolling the bike in 1st gear with clutch in a few meters back and forth, then starting the same way as I'm rolling, it's a PITA but it works
Please turn the key first

solid investment for 2014 > starter instead of kickstart
no thanks, Ill rather invest in burgers...
Good god. I'm tired just watching you do that lol. Beautiful bike.
And this, folks, is why the electric starter was invented. I'm curious if this engine has a glow plug (and if it's working).
It is a direct injection engine. No glow plug, just compression starting. The electric starter is great. But in freezing conditions requires a fresh battery, that needs to be recharged over night from AC outlet. Even in warm summer the kick start is hard. 20.7:1 compression and a coupled gearbox is taking power.
That seat looks so uncomfortable, like taking a ride on an old wet park bench.
Glad I can get my tractor started with electric start and a little starter fluid, looks like a nice bike.
your technique is so wrong... i have the same taurus diesel 325 original..in india.. i am half ur weight nd cant start it 100 times quicker without using tat kind of force
and I was just curious for the trick how to start a diesel...
It's good morning exercise before heading to work.
yes, and my neighbours love the smell of Diesel in the morning!!!
Very nice bike, I really like the video. What year is it, thank you
Man, I'm worn out just watching this guy!
😰😰😰😰😰
His right calf muscle probably 2x the size of his left!!😱😱😱😱😱
😆🤣🙃🤣😆😁
Zis eez a royal Enfield Taurus.
In southern India farmers used diesel powered pumpsets generating a meager 5-6 hp for 300cc capacity and some fieldhands thought why not shove it into a royal Enfield bullet (petrol powered with 350cc engine) .
Seeing this the actual company also started to use these greaves now I guess lombardini engines in the bike as OE fitment keeping everything else the same.
The poor bugger managed to start it is testament to his perseverance, as even in India it's difficult to start unless you know the proper synchronisation of kicking it.
I guess a simple modification would be to use a pull starter.
We can't use heaters and what not due to the prolly low capacity (6-8Ah) battery being used.
Now in India even the petrol fired engines are notorious to start a wrongly timed kick can end with shattered foot or shin bones.
Even now you can buy the petrol fired ones they boast oodles of new technology nowadays and have to wait ages to have one delivered as the wait times have stretched so long. Btw they're plagued like anything with such problems as misaligned chassis, chassis getting cracked, chewed up sprockets , wheel perpetually out of alignment , bearing being chewed and spat out etc.
Just put a Hatz Dieselengine into it, it hurts to watch you kicking for 5 minutes to earn only 6 HP. The Hatz has at least 11 HP and may be easier to start, because it is ment for our climate, not pretty warm india. ;-) Just look at it, Jochen Sommer produces really fine stuff. I know it because I had an internship at his workshop. He is a great guy and his product is flawless.

This is never gonna start even an elephant kicking..!!
It did start in the end... :-)
Even the "petrol" Royal Enfield was a pain to start... What about the "Glow Plug" (light it from the battery, then instant start (well ignition of the diesel fuel that was injected)... Compression does not look all that good??? I would like to see it with 3 pots? each with a fairly long stroke & "glowplug"...
You would burn the same number of calories walking wherever you're going as it took to start it.
Are you kicking through compression? No no. Ease the kicker through compression, just, then stroke the thing. You then have flywheel momentum to get it past compression and start. Works on big singles. No throttle on the gas bikes, diesel? You don't want it to kick back, might break some thing or another. Good show.
does it generally need that much kicking to get the engine started ?? or was it because it has not been started for a while... ?
Don't tell me you go through this every time you ride it.
Hey what you are doing is wrong instead on the engine cap or valve door on your front right when sitting on the bike there is a rubber plug just pull it up put few drops of diesel in it n start it only takes half kick, your clutch plates are worn or your clutch is not adjusted properly.
Never in life it took me more than half a kick to start it. Try putting a self starter it's done in India.
Cold? Several tricks to NOT get it started. For as much as I love diesel, I'll steer clear of this one. Walking seems easy in comparison.
and another thing with all that kicking you are like putting a hell lot of load on the kickshaft and the whole gearbox and clutch...thus reducing their life..get it fitted with starter...if your bike has original company fitted engine mounting brackets...let me know, then you can add a starter with ease...
Push-starting it might be more efficient.
Very difficult to push start
Rear wheel would tend to lock up and tough on the gearbox.
This guy probably spent like 10 minutes trying to start this bike...... get an electric start for the love of god. You get more then enough exercise keeping that thing upright.
I had a diesel bullet once, ofcourse in south India there was no such thing as a winter but still...in December or Jan, I would wake up early to start the bike and let it idle for a while...before I made a trip anywhere.
My God what a pile of scrap , still , good excuse for being late for work !! .... Here's the evidence boss !
.... and that's all there is to it!..... ha, ha, .... I thought you said at the start that there are several tricks that you can do, Bob...., what are the others?!....
zum ankicken besser vom hauptständer nehmen. der rahmen kann das auf dauer krumm nehmen.
Dann bau ich an andern ein!!!
LOL. This bike has lots of soul, but my Yamaha would have been down the road 5 minutes ago even on a cold morning.
Why bother? Far less effort to walk, and much quicker and less smelly and polluting.
Gasoline is called Gasoline in English ... and well, you should use proper primer and you flood the engine, that's the reason why it didn't start.
Nice thing about this motorcycle. You don't need a gym membership. It's included. 🤣
I thought of buying a diesel bullet but after this noo as an antic bike my rx 100 is better than this
When "for ever" lifespan and 120 mpg....just isn't worth it!
Easiest way is to put a teaspoon of oil into the starter plug. Then kickstart. Will only take 3 kicks max!
A little spray of ether works wonders. Or you could drill out the cylinder head and fit a glow plug...
he wants to take that lump out and replace it with a petter diesel engine out of an old dumper or cement mixer. That, is hard work!
Mine will definitely have the electric start option..
Monsieur, this is torturous! But I applaud you for it..you must have a healthy "Self-deprecating' sense of humour.
'Naphtha' is what makes up ZIPPO lighter fluid.
BTW, Mon amour...Engine bearings, be they crankshaft or connecting-rod, make an audible ("clanking") noises when they become badly worn... when the tolerances become UN-tolerable. With the racket that your machine NORMALLY makes. I fear that those abnormal warning-sounds will be camouflaged.

Oh finally waited for long time
I could come from the market by this time, seriously wasted my time
Better You Could hav poured Hot water On engine
It would have been started on 1 kick
wouldn't like a kick in the nuts from this guy
I dont kick people in the nuts, I kick people in the ars!
I bet your right leg looks like popeyes arm after starting that :)
Yes please, contaminate the oil in the air filtering system with lighter fluid, thbat will make it run better ¬¬
Also, aren't there add-on kits with heating coils in the fuel lines and tank for just those scenarios in pretty much every modern Diesel/Ethanol engine?
And why buy a powerplant designed for 30 + ºC when you have temps below zero?
Please say it's at least a return style fuel pump
böyle motorum olsun benzin döker yakarım.
I think you should also get a diesel refrigerator, washing machine and air conditioner.
God damn it you are not setting the Amps right ,if you set the amps right then it’s a feather touch feel
Habe mir für meine Taurus einen Gaskartuschenlötbrenner besorgt.
Für kalte Zeit im Winter den Zylinderkopf ca.3/5 min,vorwärmen,dann kommt er sofort.

I guess it lacks compression when cold. Probably thinner oil like 5W40 would do the job and starting wouldn't last that long. Or maybe a few drops of oil onto a piston would make it sealed and make an ignition possible much sooner.
Why would anyone want a diesel motorcycle? What possible advantage could there be? Lousy power, hard starting, smokes like a chimney...what am i missing?
What re you missing? 200+ mpg and the chance to see the country side roll past really slow, while not being able to hear the other road users abuse you ;-)
All good.
i thougt he will run in the end to the bus station :-)
I am glad I have a Honda, but good exercise
Painful to watch...Not something you want to do on a day you slept in for work.
Use compriser liver i have 1997 model very easy single kick start
I don't understand why diesel bikes never caught on.
Far easier to heat the intake pipe with a flame maybe a gas torch?
Or like we did with our diesel equipment, a rag soaked in diesel wrapped around a stick and set alight and then held near the intake to draw "some" of the flame into the cylinder to aid combustion by heating the air and the vapour
