When starting a Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle in the morning, you have the option of using either the self-start mechanism or the kick-start method, depending on the specific model you own. Both methods are designed to start the engine effectively, so it ultimately comes down to personal preference.

Here are the general steps to follow when starting a Royal Enfield Bullet:

  1. Ensure the motorcycle is in neutral: Make sure the bike is in the neutral gear. The neutral indicator light should be illuminated on the instrument cluster.

  2. Check the fuel and ignition: Ensure there is sufficient fuel in the tank, and make sure the ignition switch is in the "On" position.

  3. Self-start method: If your Bullet has a self-start mechanism, you can engage it by turning the key to the "Start" position and pressing the self-start button. This will activate the electric starter motor to crank the engine.

  4. Kick-start method: If your Bullet has a kick-start lever, you can use it by placing the bike on its center stand (or using the side stand if it's stable and safe), pushing the kick-start lever downward with your foot while keeping your balance on the other foot, and giving it a firm kick to rotate the engine and start it. It may take a few attempts to get the engine running smoothly.

Note that the specific starting procedure may vary slightly depending on the model and any additional features or modifications. It's always a good idea to consult your owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended starting procedure for your particular Royal Enfield Bullet model.

Overall, whether you use the self-start or kick-start method is up to your personal preference and convenience. Both methods are designed to start the engine effectively, so choose the method that you find most comfortable and suitable for your needs.
