I checked my 2010 G 5 Deluxe and the is only one oil drain hole. Way over on the left, in front of the kickstand is this thing...what the heck is it, and what does it do?

That is the shifter u c at the bottom of the photo.

That is the auto-chain tensioner for the primary chain.

This is a bit like asking these two how they know that's their hand on the end of their arm!

Someday, Gypsyjon, somebody is going to ask a similar question, and you're going to be the one to answer it, and the enquirer will be amazed at your knowledge...

Hey JVS, is that a color service manual that you have?

JVS · **Reply #7 on:** March 19, 2013, 07:37:30 am

^ Yes, however, it is in PDF format. The link I got it from doesn't work anymore. It is about 13.2MB.

Anychance you could post it somewhere? Or email? Google is pretty forgiving.

I have the B&W paper one but snagged the color pdf as well. Sometimes it's just way easier to tell what's what in the color pics.

It was on the web somewhere, don't recall where.

Royalista · **Reply #12 on:** March 19, 2013, 11:18:52 pm

I found it by google-ing on manuals for RE UCE. So sorry can't remember which site it was on. However it is titled "EXPORT-SERVICE.pdf". Maybe that can help?

Ah, for me it was EXPORT-Manual.pdf, and I tried finding it yesterday. When I did and clicked on the link, it always gave the 404 error. However, to make things easier for everyone, I just uploaded it.

Here's the link - http://www.2shared.com/document/4QWlSgKQ/EXPORT-Manual.html
When it prompts you for a password, put in (lower case) - enfield

This is the workshop manual for the three export models E5 G5 C5 with color illustrations; the one you can buy in hardcopy. size is 13,5MB

export-service.pdf is 1,9MB and has 41 pages. A comprehensive service manual, with color pictures and all the torque figures.

I'm still looking for the source of export-service.pdf

In the meantime I found this:

For those who know French:
http://www.royalenfieldlesite.com/spip/spip.php?article294
has quite a lot of documentation on bullet, EFI's included:
spare parts catalogue, workshop manual, service manual electra, etc.

https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=d74671e4419dc6ca&resid=D74671E4419DC6CA!113&id=D74671E4419DC6CA%21113
Is the link for a load of documents. Including both files (service-manual and service-export). There's no request for passwords.
It is the source where i found these manuals, and refound at last.
Do take a preview to see if you really want the specific document. You will also find manuals for the diesel bullets.
Have fun.

ummmmm... Who owns the copyright on these books?

Ducati Scotty · **Reply #20 on:** March 20, 2013, 04:47:59 pm

Not sure. probably RE. Since I paid for the paper one I don't have a problem downloading the digital copy.

The nice thing about Adobe PDF files is you can use the "search" feature to find stuff in the books.

For instance, if someone asks about the recommended torque for some bolt, I look up the bolt in the Parts List and then write down the RE part number.
Then, opening the Service Manual I type the part number into the 'search' engine and poke the 'go find it' button.

Often, the recommended torque for that bolt will be listed in the section that covers torques.
