Restoring an old Royal Enfield Bullet 500 ES

First approach for restoring a Bullet 500 ES.
The bike is about the year 2002/2005, it is the ES model.
It didn't work when I bought it used, then trying to figure out what problems it had I disassembled part of the electrical system.
The automatic electric start does not work, the switch on the right side of the handlebar has probably oxidized or damaged.
Furthermore, the spark plug did not spark, after carrying out some checks, the 12 Vdc voltage reached the coil and the contacts of the points brought it to ground ok, so I checked the HV cable and it did not count with the coil.
After having restored the HV cable, I cleaned the spark plug and also the contacts of the points, starting with the chick start on the first try.
It remains to check the electric ignition part, next step.
In the meantime, it's nice to hear the mighty noise of the 500cc piston.

So next is to mod to bobber, so repaint and other mods needed.
