    Question here is to identify it first. If you search something like "two pin accessory connector" anywhere, lot of results are returned.

    Last resort is to go to the local market with these photos and try finding there.

          Hope everyone is staying safe. Have you seen this video related to tubeless conversation kit. This costs around 5k. Interestingly many in comments have stated that they have used just high quality silicone gel to make the rim support tubeless tires, following the same method. With less than 1k cost. Any comments.

            Yes industrial grade silicone sealant can be used , and u can also individually seal each spoke point with 3m marine sealant. Then u can apply silicone layer or 3m superstrong tape (used for aquarium / tubs) .
            Important point is to clean the surface properly and let things dry for 24hrs .
            Silicone is available at hardware stores.
            Sadly things are all closed[emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

              Yes, some of the riders in our Tamil Nadu 650 Twins Group have already done it.

              The owner of Way2speed who has done the kit is a friendly chap and owns an Interceptor 650 and has done close to 30,000kms now.

              It's the most effective and in someways better than then ₹15,000 outex kit and less than half the cost too.

              Only limited skilled technicians being available and doing the job properly with patience seems to be a bit of strenuous exercise, but results are worth it and very satisfactory is what riders who done it have said.

              Cheers!

                Thanks for the details Indrajeet 👍 Would like to try if there are no other issues, ofcourse when things return to normalcy 🙂

                That's assuring 👍 Cost wise I feel this is one option which is worth a shot to make Int tubeless.

                  Hello guys this is a simple video i have made on how to clean the air filter of our Motorcycle.
                  At least this is something we can do while living under lockdown.
                  Hope you like it.

                  Next one on the fuel pump and starter relay would be uploaded soon possibly today it just needs some editing.

                  Hope you like this.

                    Hi everyone
                    Just made this small video on fuel pump and starter relay. This would be helpful in case u face breakdown due to pump or starter not working. Sometimes it is just a lose connection.
                    There are other diy videos on the channel if you want can check those out too.
                    Hope it would be helpful for someone.

                      Hello guys made this simple video on how to jump start your Motorcycle in case the battery fails due to long term non usage.
                      Hope it helps you, if u already don't know how to do it.
                      Process is same for all Motorcycles just the location of battery is different.

                        Very informative video. I drove down to my hometown to survive the lockdown, and I expect my battery to have drained n both my Interceptor as well as my CBR

                        I was thinking of buying a jumper cable before I get back home to start the motorcycles up. But looks like I don't have to - after seeing your video.

                        Can you share the spec of wire that you most recommend among the ones you had mentioned in the video?

                        I would be charging the motorcycles with my car battery - while ensuring that the car is not running, as advised by you.

                          I recommend 10mm multi strand wire the one use to make power line connection from main meter to house junction box.
                          Otherwise the 6mm or 8mm both works as these can easily take load of multiple ACs running simultaneously. The one i used in the video was a old wire from air-conditioning connection.
                          And you don't need to charge the Motorcycle battery from car. Just jump start the Motorcycle it take only few seconds and keep it running for 15 minutes or so. If it doesn't start in multiple attempts then get the battery charged from outside. Take 20 seconds rest in each attempt 3 or 4 attempts are ok.
                          Other thing which i have done is to charge the Motorcycle battery with house inverter. Did it once for a friend's Motorcycle we took the Motorcycle battery and connect it with home inverter directly after taking off the inverter battery and kept the charging at low current and disconnected it after 4hrs and it worked.

                                It's a a been a while since I posted here. So let me share some pics.


                                It's been absolute FUN 13,500kms so far. Never thought I'd own a Royal Enfield but here I am thoroughly riding, owning and enjoying one every day.

                                There is more than enough power for our roads. Loads of torque wherever you need it with just a twist of the throttle from that sweet engine. Even after almost a year she catches everyone's envious attention.

                                So simple and classic design lines, yet makes a lasting impression everytime you see her.

                                In 3 days it's my Red Queen's first anniversary and I was supposed to ride to Goa and be sipping Feni and exploring beaches..

                                Haha

                                But our Mother Earth has other plans and has sent us back to our homes and locked us to think about what we are doing to her by unleashing a pandemic.

                                Hopefully Mother Earth will be kind and we will learn as a community and triumph over this challenging times.

                                Cheers!
