Thank you so much brother.. it really worked, and also a better treatment rather than other.. thanks bro...!! Wish to see some more detailed video's about royal enfield..
Great tips. My problem is bike kick starts in the morning without any issue; however when i ride for few kms and them come back and keep it power for say 2 hours and come back, i doesn't start. It takes lot of kicking and pressing self start to get it started. Battery is fine . I just got it checked today

@@TwoWheelLunatic Yesterday, one of my relative requested me to take care of their TB350 (old) because their son (owner of the bike) passed away last month, they said that the bike was parked for 3 or 4 months and cannot be started (kick & thumb). I randomly search on RUclips last night to get some knowledge because I never own one. So, that was how I found your channel. Tomorrow, I'm gonna check out the bike with roadside (local) mechanic. I think battery will be the problem. I'll let you know my progress.
@@TwoWheelLunatic You are right, it's a battery, but still functioning. We drained the petrol tank (water got inside), check the electrical lines, lubricated engine, checked all functioning, everything looks fine. Then the mechanic told me to ride for a while to charge the batt. But the problem is engine die often while running which I refered to mechanic but in vain. What step will I take next?
Next thing you can do is, get your battery charged. It is the battery which is creating problems. And also - Bike alone cannot charge the battery. It does, but not with much efficiency. Hence I’ll recommend you to get your battery charged and then check what happens. Keep me posted!
For Thunderbird I will always prefer the stock mirrors. Bar end mirrors are aftermarket and there are a lot of chances of bar end mirrors getting stolen. So always go for the stock RE mirrors.
Hi my TB 350 was not started for 2 months.Todat when I turned the key,my instrument clusters lighted up,so glad my battery is ok. But when I kick start it with the choke it starts,but when I switch off the choke the engine dies. What do you recommend I do?
Hi, I have an old RE Thunderbird 350 which develops a starting trouble once it is switched off, may be for a shorter trip of 5/10 kms, and if tried to restart, it doesnt. I try to open the fuel tank cap, to let out air presure, if developed in the fuel tank and may be it creates an air lock! can you please guide? its a kick start old model. battery is new, all other parameters are also ok. it starts but after many kicks! am not able to figure out the exact root cause!
This is exactly problem with my thunderbird Twinspark 2012 model. Its starts in the morning or any time in the day for the first time. After 5 to 10 kms ride, it then creates problem to start and takes lot of kicks to start
My bullet is 3 year old.. had lots of troble while starting the bike at morning..!!.thoght its battry problem..!!..now i replace the battry also...installed new one. I will apply your tqniqe and let you know..!!
Friend, I am going to start my bike after it had been idle for 4 months sitting in my basement. Before I could attempt, thought of researching and found your advise. Looks promising. Will update. obviously, I believe unless the battery isn't drained completely, which I doubt it wouldn't have, your formula should work !! Good video, thanks !!
Hey! I am pretty sure, the battery might have drained a bit, and you might face some issues while starting the bike. You can try out my steps, but, if in case they don't work, get your battery charged, because that would only have been the problem and nothing else :)
Thank you brother. In case of My bike, kick after starting, if I try to accelerate, engine stops. Even after idel running it for 3-4 minutes also problem remains.
Keep your bike on center stand for 24-36 hours with more than HALF the tank of petrol. After 36 hrs, follow the steps in the video and try to start. Hope it works!
Thank you brother.. I always keep my bike on centre stand only.. It starts in 1 or 2 kicks only. But, it will not accelerate.. if I try to accelerate, it will stop. Even with choke on also same issue. Normally after water wash, this problem is more severe. Regarding Petrol level, I wilk make full tank this time and try as you told. Thank you.
My TB 350 had been idle since past 7 months...when i turned the keys, even the display light didn't start. What can i do. Pl help I tried pushing it and starting. Didn't work
Hello!I'm having a tb350.when i try to self start it,it gives a much noisy crank sound from the engine...it becomes an embarassing situation.... What to do and now the kick start also stopped working
If you have kept your TB on the side stand for a long time,the crank sound is normal. Since the oil is on the one side it cannot reach the engine properly and hence kick start wouldn't also work. Check if your battery is fully charged and the bike has petrol. Keep your bike on the double stand for a day or two and then try if it starts. If it still doesn't work please let me know. Will find a solution! Hope it helps ;)
@@TwoWheelLunaticthanks for your reply Bro...after pulling the clutch the kick becomes a bit normal but only for 1-2 attempts...after that it becomes hard again
What I usually advice is go through these steps first : 1) Make sure your instrument console is properly lit up and your battery hasn't drained in a while. 2)Dont turn on the engine kill switch. Kick start the bike 10 times. 3) Now turn on the engine kill switch pressing the choke simultaneously.If the bike still doesn't start,try using a jump starter.Or if it is a Fuel Injected motorcycle,like mine is,try to hear that the motor is making a sound for 4-5 seconds. If not,you might have a Fuel pump problem. This might help you. If you need any help further, kindly ask in detail. Thanks - Priyam.
My bike is Thunderbird twin spark ice 350 2012 model. The bike starts with kicker but even though the self motor and battery is new I'm unable to start the bike with self . The engine does not start without applying the choke even after riding the bike. Please help me know what to do. Thank you.
Power start runs on battery. In this case, your starter is not working. So you need to get your battery checked because the old thunderbird starts without battery when kick starting (The best part about old Royal Enfield's!) Please get your battery checked. Might be low on charge or you might have to buy a new one. There's no other problem. Battery is the issue. Hope this helps. Do let me know if it works or if you have any other queries. Thankyou! :)

Hi dude .. Thanks for the useful info . My TB (Customized) was halted for a week and day before I applied the same trick and it worked . Now today when I tried the same thing , it didn't , I accidentally left the fuel knob on that day, so it overflowed . Battery is a month old only , horn is not working today , backlight and indicators working fine. A friend helped me to get it started "Dhakka start" but after running for 500 mtrs, it shut down , and after one more push , it started but shutting down immediately . Choke leaver is jam too . PS. I have old model twinspark TB Please help bro .
The advantage of owning the Old Thunderbird is : it can atleast START without battery. The problem with your bike is the battery. Get it fully charged once and let me know if the problem still persists. Thanks!
I have changed battery for my thunderbird 500 3 months back it got discharged as i haven't started it for month now it's not starting what should i do??
FIRST OF ALL : Tell me which company's battery you are using. If it's Exide, throw the battery away. The reason I say this is because Exide batteries last not that great. Buy SOLANCE battery (Here's the link for the video I have made For SOLANCE battery) : ruclips.net/video/zPKO0QXbEeY/видео.html Now what you should do is : 1)Remove the battery from your bike and get it charged from your local battery dealer and Install the battery. Your bike will start!
After 25 days, today I tried to start my bike. But it is not starting. I followed your steps though it was not starting. What to do? Can you please say in steps?
Would be great if you can explain me what's happening with the bike. Is the display turning on? Are your headlights turning on? Are you able to honk? If not, then probably your battery is dead and you need to get it charged.
My bike was idle for about 2 months. I tried your suggested steps. It doesn't work. Please help. I have noticed the following: In the beginning your video says says the console should work. For me, when I switch on, the backlight is lit, needles swing normally and the digital pane shows numbers etc. However the backlight switches off after few seconds. Hope it's normal. The other difference I found is that in the 2nd step, when I switch on the red button, I see a red logo in right dial along with a mild hissing sound from the engine. Is it normal?
Sir ek Baar Kisi mechanic ke pass jakar bike ka wiring check karvao. Shayad battery ke sath jho wire connect hota hai vo loose ho Gaya Hoga ya fir wire kat Gaya Hoga.
Can u help me bro my Thunderbird doesn't start with kick start when I kick start the console keeps restarting each time when I click self start or battery or even light the console turn off and turns on again
Hey. The problem is with your bike's battery. Get it charged and then follow the steps in the video as I have shown. If the problem persists, you might need to get a new battery for your bike. No other problem since these symptoms are common ;). Please reply to this thread If your problem is still not solved. I'll be more than happy to help you.
@@TwoWheelLunatic after kick starting and going for a distance my bike turns of automatically ik weird right when the engine is on the console turns off and bike goes off too . Even I thought the battery I'm not sure I have to change it but I can't drive to the service center either have to call a mechanic
It sure is the battery. And if in case it's not the battery, you need to clean your relays with WD40 and get the wiring checked. But I would suggest first get your battery checked. Whether it is charging or not,or if it is a faulty battery that's causing the problem. Which company's battery do you use? And since how long?

Is it better to have bar end mirrors or stock mirrors on TB 350?
For Thunderbird I will always prefer the stock mirrors. Bar end mirrors are aftermarket and there are a lot of chances of bar end mirrors getting stolen. So always go for the stock RE mirrors.
