Royal Enfield Monsoon Tips
TAPPETS:
Tappets on the loser side are always a boon for us riders. So if the noise doesn’t bother you don’t worry about the tappets. Just make sure to see that they are not too loose so as to jump out of their settings and leave u stranded in the middle of a downpour.

CONTACT BREAKER POINT AND CONDENSOR:
For the guys with point condensers make sure to clean and grease up your point plates and the auto advance mechanism behind the point plates. Clean up the points, set the gaps as per your settings and put an ambassador fuel lid rubber over the point cover so as to prevent moisture or water drops from going inside and causing problems.

AIRFILTER:
Change the air filter too. Old air filters are already dirty with the pounding they have taken in the dusty summers. Add moisture and water spray from the roads to it and your bike is literally suffocating. Let it breathe. An air filter will only cost you 30 bucks.

CONTROL CABLES:
If you haven’t changed your control cables, I would insist you to change them now…but before changing them, a small discomfort to go through…oil them yourself…take a small plastic bag and cut a hole the size of the diameter of the control cable on one side of the plastic bag. Slip one end of the cable through it and tie it securely in such a way that the cable doesn’t slip out of the hole. Pour engine oil or any other lubricating oil in the plastic bag to a level enough to submerge the end of the cable inside. Hang this whole contraption at some place where nobody interferes overnight.

The oil will seep through the outer and lubricate the whole inner cable and form a thin film of oil throughout the length of the cable. Be sure to put something on the floor to avoid oil drops there. Do this to all cables. Accelerator, clutch, front brake (for those with drum brakes), decompressor and meter chain. Try to get the clutch and brake lever covers…like the ones offered on the Honda splendor or the Kawasaki bajaj bikes to prevent water from getting into the cables.
