    Well, at least it looks like the battery and the terminals are accessible on the Guerrilla. Looks a fair bit easier than the Himalayan 411 and the Meteor. This is the first job I do with any bike, so good to see that it should be straightforward !
    Cheers Dave,

      It certainly is an easy install on the Guerrilla compared to the Hunter and the Scram. Yep gotta get those charge leads on straight away. 😀👍🏻

    Makes a nice change to have easy access to the battery, some bikes can be a right pain. Your video is sure to be of help, especially the importance of disconnecting the negative first and reconnecting last! Am I old fashioned to still use Vaseline on the terminals🤔

      Cheers Paul, it certainly is a lot easier access to the battery on this bike, 10/10 to RE. Yeah disconnection and reconnection sequence is very important and overlooked at times I’m sure.
      It can’t do any harm to add some moisture ingress protection to battery terminations, even modern ones. Can you believe there isn’t any Vaseline in our house 😂😂👍🏻

      @@ianhughesroyalenfield thanks Ian. Just over 200 miles done now, did 90 of em last Thursday evening, weather forecast was dry, but can now confirm the bike handles really well in the wet! 😂 I have first service booked for 27th September. Now that I’ve gotten to know the bike I’m loving it more and more and can’t wait to get out and ride it. I think getting the rear suspension set up right is important. I softened mine by 3 stops following my initial ride and it does handle much better now for me, feels really planted in the bends. 👍🏻🙂

    It's funny, because you exchanged the scram for the guerrilla but I am thinking about the scram at the moment

      Hi Stefan, the Scram is a marvellous bike, I loved mine a had lots of fun with it. 😀👍🏻
