Sensible what Ben has stated here is a good idea, remember this would work ONLY when the battery has some juice/charge to make sure the ECM and pump/injectors get the required voltage. If you have a completely dead battery, that's as good as a dead meat and it won't start, unless you have a carburetted bike. Rest of the procedure is beautifully explained by Ben.
I found a trick as well since my bike has juiced out of battery in the pandemic (Wave 1) and there were no shops to buy a new one. That time I used to do the same thing but instead of 2nd gear I use 3rd and it is better to have a helping hand to push it. Actual trick is to sit on the rear seat by extending you arms to the handbar as the bike tends to skid if sat in the front seat. Sitting behind adds that weight and give a bit of extra friction for the tyre to crank the engine. Just wanted to share it!
It is a good solution for you but if it happens to you in cold weather it would be better to take some cables and connect to another battery. Although the best solution is to anticipate the problem and disconnect the battery terminals if you are going to leave the motorcycle unused for a while. Also sell on bikes market some small, very light portable batteries that are used for this problem and you start in a hurry. On the other hand, doing this exercise in the cold is very bad for your body, especially for your twins, you can have a fiber break and be left without riding a motorcycle for several weeks, so it is best to use your head and a cable and connect to another battery. Thanks for the video and take care.
yes, true. but these are essential skills which every rider/biker should posses. Riding / balancing /motorcycling in itself requires skill which should be looked at holistically and not partly. As far as ability to take on weather is concerned , kindly dont represent everyone.
I thought I would share this, I see people changing batteries all the time when they are just low on water. After 2 years my 2022 Himmy battery started giving me problems starting and the trickle charger stopped charging. So I pulled the battery partially out of the holder, pealed back the long sticker about 1 centimeter, so I could see the long service strip, I then pried it out with a knife and saw that all the cells were low on water. I then filled them with naturally distilled (rain) water using an injector with needle and then closed it up. Put the battery back on the motorcycle trickle charger and six hours later it indicated that it was fully charged. throwing out a battery just because it is low on water is like buying a new motorcycle every time it runs out of gas. Of course the sticker over the service strip helps hide the fact that you need to service them and gives the false impression that it is truly no maintenance. Also using a black plastic case means that you cannot easily see the internal water levels. You actually have to open the battery and look down the tiny service holes. All this is simply a great strategy to sell more batteries.
It's very risky task.. Jump on the motorcycle during. push motorcycle you can fall down motorcycle.. I am using rechargeable battery Jumpur power bank. to jump battery. I carried during the riding
Hi Ben I would like to address one issue, I have a BS4 Himalayan and just yesterday my magnetic coil was completely burnt and had to replace the coil, after reading on the internet came to know this is a common issue faced with all Himalayans, don't know whether you have faced this issue or not but it would be really helpful as to why this happens and if there is any solution for the same. Looking forward to your next video 👍
Thanks for this video Ben. Just day before it happened to me aswell, as I tired starting my bike after 2 weeks. Since then been thinking how to push my bike to nearest workshop, and should I have to replace the battery with new one. I will try this.
I’m sure it’ll help, and well done! I periodically ‘roll-start’ my Himi, if parked on a decline. But have never done that ‘side-saddle’ move you did - smooth! Yup, 2nd gear; and if standing on it, bounce some weight down while popping the clutch. Question: though warmed up, you re-started it without pulling in the clutch lever, though in neutral, does that not add additional drag on the starter..? Thanks for your efforts ~
@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN yes, sir. You did say to leave it idling a bit, then go for a ride. I don't know that leaving it idling does much to recharge because there's not much extra voltage being generated. So I didn't see the point in the initial idling, best just go for a nice ride. It's a very minor point, it's not important and I'm probably wrong anyway, seeing as I'm a noob 🤣
this is happened to me one time when my bike was idle for about 15 days and believe me I had a lot of sweat that time while running along with bike. 😐. but again maybe after 5-6 try I was able to start the bike with same step.
Sir. I bought Yezdi Adventure in November 2022. The battery is dead, the warranty is over, a new battery costs ₹8000. No other battery is compatible, I am told. What do I do?
Ben i am facing an avarage issue with my bike while riding in city i bought my bike a month ago and till now i have to fule up 3 times full tank and when i am checking avrage from trip its saying 15 kmpl so what u suggest how can i increase or solve this issue from service centre pls help me for this issue
@@dhruv2591 240 in main before trip f(reserve) starts is way too good mine does it around 220+ - bs4 2019 model After reserve (trip f ) kicks in u can ride around 150 kms but its not advisable to drain the fuel as we have fuel injector. I fill up my tank after trip f hits 80-100 mark in city and while doing trips ill start looking for a fuel station after trip f starts
Yes, Naveen. What you could just simply do is put your vehicle in 2nd gear. Post that, you can either be on a slope area or have someone push you while depressing the clutch. Once the vehicle is in motion, release the clutch which will jumpstart the bike.
yes, true. but they are essential skills which every rider/biker should posses. Riding / balancing /motorcycling in itself requires skill which should be looked at holistically and not partly.

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN also make sure you don't have any accessories that require power directly connected to the battery; that may be draining charge as well. Always connect via an on off switch.
Motorcycling is an even bigger exercise isn’t it brother and yet we embrace it without questioning it . Likewise we should always have a positive attitude towards learning fundamentals.
Champ instead of putting in so much hard work just buy a TV set top box adapter(12V-2amps) [Rs120/-].and add a male-female adapter (Rs 15/-,available at electric and hardware stores)to a wire for the pin portion with +ve&-ve points already shown oñ it,and the other end of the wire to the +ve and -ve terminals of the battery.plug into the electric switch, the set top box 2 pin adapter and voila 15 minutes battery is charged.hassle free solution
If this is so much hard work . Then riding a motorcycle is even more hard work . Kindly ADD solutions . Not ridicule methods that have been proven to work throughout time .

good one buddy.
Extremely helpful especially for bikes without a kickstart which is very common nowadays!!
Helpful video as ever Ben. And done on a down slope makes it even easier (unless you mess up, then the push back up the slope is not pleasant 😊 )
Have spoken about the same in the video
Very good video. Thank you from England sir. You've helped me fix my problem

Thank you so much ❤️ Ben bro it's real helps me....👍
This happened to me yesterday, I had to push the bike in first gear, push and start! It is like seeing myself in this video😂
Glad you liked the video friend
@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN we should do Collab ride soon! 😊
Very useful video Ben 🙌Thank you for the info for using second gear instead of first while jump starting👍
Yes , the first is better on 2-3-4 cylinders .
Fantastic... Much needed one. Tnx bro
glad it helped.

Yes, it’s not good for the starter. I just couldn’t help it . Had the camera on one hand .
I've been trying to start my bike but not working as rear wheel is not getting enough traction. Hopping on the bike while pushing it looks scary 😬
Nice technique. But idling for a few minutes is not likely to do much. Taking it riding for 15 minutes is ideal. Or get a battery tender.
Watch the entire video before assuming things brother
@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN I always watch your videos all the way to the end, buddy.

time to change your batter

Sir. I bought Yezdi Adventure in November 2022. The battery is dead, the warranty is over, a new battery costs ₹8000. No other battery is compatible, I am told. What do I do?
pls connect via Instagram and share pic of the old battery
It happened to me just after delivery i just kept the key on battery was dead
3:28 superman on wheel😂
Bhai how are u so knowledgeable about bikes. Are you a mechanic?
have spent half my life with mechanics. thats all.
Hello Ben.Appreciate the effort . As always a value add video..what is the rear plate you are using?
Making a video on the same . Tom or day after on the channel
@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN sure thanks. I cannot thank you enough for the your guidance on motul. Now Himalayan is too refined with this Motul .
Just a small doubt, carburetted bikes can still start with completely dead battery right?😬
Thanks in advance.
If the battery is dead...it's dead. Fuel system.makes no difference
No. You do need some charge left
Have tried this quite a lot, works everytime.
Does it work when the battery is completely dead?
no it will not work when the battery is out completely.

Thats avg speed on the trip not mileage
@@pervekkala1211 but also trip kmpl i am getting is around 240 on full tank which is not xceptable right…

Thanks!!
Will it work to all types of bikes and is it safe them doing it multiple times
Not very healthy if done repeatedly
@Ben, how to get rid of the noise that started at 2:50 mins?
Is this due to the dust/sand in the rear disc pads?
Rust . Totally normal . Don’t worry about it. Ride for some time and things will be fine
don't think it work with a dead battery, if the voltage is below 8-9v then it will not work(I think so), plz reply if I am wrong...
yes , if its a dead battery nothing will wrk.
Ben, is there a more simpler way like borrowing a neighbor's battery & jump starting? is it possible?
Yes, Naveen. What you could just simply do is put your vehicle in 2nd gear. Post that, you can either be on a slope area or have someone push you while depressing the clutch. Once the vehicle is in motion, release the clutch which will jumpstart the bike.
Good idea, but one needs the skills to synchronise the actions 😊
yes, true. but they are essential skills which every rider/biker should posses. Riding / balancing /motorcycling in itself requires skill which should be looked at holistically and not partly.
What is the reason, the new Bike with the new battery is broken?
Is it the same as the BS 4? The gear - Sensor showing the gear-number on the Instrument is direktly on Batterie + ? So it takes about a week and the battery is empty....
Ask your RE - Dealer!! In Europe they change a piece in the electric cables to bring the contact of the sensor to 15, also on ignition+ !!
To repair this, it costs nothing and takes 15 minutes.....

How do you do the above change? Thanks
It’s a 3.5 year old bike with a 3 year old battery . Just a little weak
Does it work on bikes with slipper clutch?
It does but better in 1st gear
How does your battery die in 10 days of non usage? I have left my Himalayan BS6 for 2 months untouched and it has cranked up n started right away!
cause its a 3 year old battery. it doesnt retain charge for longer periods now a days.

it works on every motorcycle.
Will this work with the modern fuel injected bikes ?
Yes
