Adjust The Valves On A Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Motorcycle

     A little tip and expansion on this vid.......The adjusting is made easier if you remove the cover plate fixing stud.  Also, after slack has been adjusted out of the pushrod, tightening the locking nut can alter the length of the pushrod, making it longer. I've found that with the fixing stud removed, its possible to get two 13s and a 12 in there and hold the two thirteens immobile while tightening the locknut (the 12).  You may also find that adjusting to the point just short of perfect is the way to go as the lengthening caused by the locknut will take it to perfect.

Only the high-end bikes come with a fuel gage. Otherwise, you drive until the tank hits reserve level (the bike will sttteur because it doesn't have fuel). You flip a valve under the tank to release the reserve in the gas tank. You've usually got 50 miles or less to find another gas station.The valve is 3-way. You can shut off the flow of the gas entirely. I use the kill switch on a bike, let out the clutch, put down kickstand, turn off ignition, and turn off the gas more as a fuel leak prevention and theft deterrent. To run the carburetor dry, I think, is unnecessary but would hurt anything. A dry carb would make the bike harder to restart.
