My RE TB 500 Motorcycle Diaries

[J.Ravi]

Hat' off Ravi Sir Great travellers.

Thanks for the compliments and appreciation, suvnkr.

If battery is dead you can't start by kick.

I experienced that too. At that time, CTEK comes to my rescue. The 14 AH battery is very difficult to source. It is not readily available at many stores.

We have not received your new bike travel log long time. Any reason behind it.

Though I could do long drives frequently, I could not do long rides due to one reason or the other although itineraries are ready.

If 14AH battery is difficult to find, you can use Honda Activa battery. I am using activa dry battery on my classic 500 (carbed) from last 2 years and it is doing great.

Yes, I noted it first when I examined my son's one month old INT 650.

So, you are a bullet family

Thanks Mr. Ravi for quick answer.Sir, please tell me is there in-built battery inside? I have a Bosch Battery charger, brought from Amazon, but no battery inside.
Sir, is there any need for towing cable for emergency in long ride!

CTEK does not have in-built battery.

is there any need for towing cable for emergency in long ride!

Yes. I have one in my car. It helped towing my previous XUV 500 out of snow at Zuluk, Sikkim.

Inspired by your thread I've purchased a preowned TB500 (a TD vehicle) last month. Getting used to the mechanicals and comfort of the bike.
