Answer 2

Just check if the battery is 6V, 8V or 12V.

If you are going on a long drive, especially on bullet, the basic requirements would be:

1. Foot operated pump

2. Set of tubes

3. Spare Head light and Pilot lamps

4. Spare jet injections ( used in carburator)

5. Spare Brake pads

6. Spark Plugs

7. Tool kit ( Plug remover, 10,11,12,13,17 spanners, Cutting plyer, s***w driver (* & -)

Along with the above, some precautions needs to be taken for long drives, that too on a enfield.

Wear  Helmet

Gloves

Shoes ( preferably sports shoe)

Jacket

Jeans

Give rest to the bike for every 150/200 kms.

Dont push the vehicle to the limits, I had been to Mumbai on my Enfield and beleive me the vehicle is great on an average speed of 90-100 kmph.

Take care and most importantly have HYGIENIC FOOD
