Hey mate. I watched your wheel balancing video last night and it slightly raised my eyebrows because I fitted new Motoz tyres to my 2021 Euro4 Himmy a couple of weeks ago. I too balance both wheels with an identical static balancer. In my case Definitely balance the wheel without the cushdrive/sprocket assy in place. I have the same fixed bearing in the cushdrive plus the typical two roller bearings separated by a tube spacer in the main wheel. I achieved a perfect balance with cushdrive assy removed.

Recogniced your channel today, good and informative videos, thanks!

Helpful! I will be doing this on my 2TR-FE sometime this fall

I’ve seen this tacitly debated in a bunch of Toyota HG videos(guy doing the repair debating with himself). Gasket Masters doesn’t do it with Felpro HGs. The Car Care Nut has done them without it too(and he always uses OEM HGs). I can’t see how it’d hurt so I’m going to do it on mine when it blows. Thanks.

Just had my 3000 mile service done on my Scram 411 and the rear wheel is cocked a bit. Thanks to your video, I ordered the alignment tool and will be checking it when it gets here tomorrow.

Invaluable confidence building video. I've replaced and repaired many bicycle tubes and tyres, but never on a motorcycle. Your video has given me the confidence to attempt a tube repair, or tyre replacement on my Himalayan. Thank you 👍

Thank you for this. Love the no BS straightforward instruction (gives me the confidence that you know what you're doing). I've subscribed and look forward to following your other Himalayan footage.

Great video my friend. I just got done riding my Himalayan on the MABDR. I ran into some alignment issues after tightening the chain. I like the tool you're using. I think I'm going to get one. Question, when I set my chain to the 25 setting and drop the bike back off the service stand it feels so tight but I guess that's normal right?

Good video, well explained and good close ups showing exactly what is required. The problem I have is that after following this approach using rhe same chain alignment tool the adjustment marks are well off. The disc side is a full mark and a quarter furrher back than the chain side. Can the alignment marks really be that far out. Do I ignore the marks and trust rhe chain alignment tool?

I have been considering these bags for my Himalayan but haven't put too much thought into it yet. Is it in your opinion that they will not work with leaving the exhaust in the factory location? Even with a heat Hope you ride your motorcycle shield.

Thanks for that insightful tutorial and explanation to how you do it. Looked like your rear breaks was missing one of its cotter pins.

Great video! I’m running the same tyres, loving them 👍 E-07 enduro rear and an E-07 plus front combo …. The front feels a bit heavier/self centres but the payoff is confidence on the trails.

Hey brother - first of all... love your content! I have a 2023 RE Himalayan and I feel the same way as you about the bike - it's a great bike for moto-camping. That is exactly why I bought it. As a side note, I'm highly interested in your long-term take on the value of the TEC Cam for the cost and effort (for someone that is not mechanically inclined like me). I am currently seeking a good tank bag. Can you reply with a link to the one you bought? I've been eyeing an SW Motech Micro Pro Tank bag, but honestly (and this will sound superficial) I don't like the way it doesn't follow the contours of the tank. Not trying to do a plug, but here is my channel that I'm just getting ramped up - would welcome your advice - www.youtube.com/@ghostmoto1. Keep up the great work!

Good advice, take your time don`t get mad. I agree with your technique. There is a device, a cable with a valve cap fixed one end, so you can pull the valve through the hole with the cable. I still prefer your method, as I would lose that tool in no time!

Yooooo

Could you tell me what size the tires are? Thanks

Very good info! I see lots of riders changing bearings at low mileages. Keep `em coming please, this is gold.

Excellent and very good sound advice, it's something I carry out as a matter of course on my Himalayan.

I don’t want to tell you how to suck eggs but if you leave the inner tube out before you put the tyre on you have 50% less chance of nipping the tyre keep up the good work

That looks convincing, gonna get me a motion pro tool, I know they are a quality manufacturer. Thanks!

Just looked at a couple of your video's, all good and clear common sense and easy to follow your explanations. Very useful clear, simple and user friendly for any Home Mechanic wanting to work on his/her Motorcycle and save some cash. Good uncomplicated video's keep posting!

Good video! I run my chain a little slacker as i ride off-road a bit. I also adopted applying the rear brake whilst tightening up the axle nut to avoid it moving… bit difficult without an assistant but can just about manage with long spanner reaching over and a screwdriver on the other side 👍

Nice video - very comprehensively explained!

Patience Patience Patience, well done,not boring educational Thanks for taking the time to make this video

With the bracket installed the angle with the header pipe was still ok so it would seal? I have a problem with my pipe being too close to the stock RE panniers and when I tried to adjust it away from my pannier, the lower front corner of the header contacted the bolt next to it on the frame. I'm hoping this might help with my problem. The pannier got so hot it melted the plastic corner on the pannier, and it also rubbed a spot on the metal and pipe.

Jave-a nice day ❤

FYI, you are supposed to use the metal bar end weights, not the plastic spacers. The spacers are included only for the very early models that did not come with bar end weights.

Thank you for the video :)

I have the tec cam currently in a box in my garage. I take it out and look at it from time to time 🤩

My RE guards have saved my himi from a few drops but your new ones look nice! Do the acerbis ones interfere with the screen at all? I don’t want to move the screen from low as I’m happy with the aerodynamics

I don't want to ruin your man cave time ... Let's start from basic energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only change state ..... The royal Enfield hand guards job is to protect hands without damaging your handlebar. The product you are showing 2 point contact 100 percent sure it's no movement in x axis and z axis impact force will transfer from hand guard to handlebar.... and handlebar will bend ...and I am sure it's 🎉 ride with bent handlebar..... Fii the same reason clutch lever has a v notch or pilot hole on it . On time of impact it will brake from notch and not functionally damaging it...

One point Handguards do NOT protect your hands in case of a fall. these are only for wind protection and Debrie from the front bike. 2point handusrds like Barkbusters , protect the levers in case of a crash, but not protection for hands. best option is not to fall.

Well in India we add accessories from outside, in everything cars, bikes motorcycles.. Brand accessories are crappy in all kind of vehicles.. There's an economy for accessories alone here.. Getting it modified with speciality accessories(like barkbusters) is the right thing to do.. Oh and yes those brand original hand guards or usefull only in heavy traffic(for India) where u might crash into other vehicles sideways..

Yes you are right i had the same problem and adjusted that screw now its running great. Cheers 👍🏾

Much ado about nothing. Agreed they are pretty crappy - first time I dropped the bike he black plastic broke. But, meh, they came with my bike so I'll keep them until I can bothered to change them... or until I feel they're really just too crappy for what I expect from them. However, I applaud your choice of beer. And dog.

Excellent video lots of useful information. Had mine in for 7000 miles and recently added a dna filter and cover. Tried with a free flowing exhaust but seemed better with the stock one apart from the weight ! Nice to see you use a bent feeler gauge to get the correct gap…. See lots of CZcamsrs sliding the feeler gauge in at an angle so that has to give a bigger gap ? Ride safe

Lovely and clear info…. Mine runs fast when hot and it’s been something I’ve been meaning to do thank you ride safe

I’m installing the non-ultra bulb In my Interceptor 650. Fortunately the headlight housing is huge and it already vented. Can’t go wrong with Cyclops.

I believe the manual suggests not removing the plug just until the head cover is loosened, makes sense, sorta. Did you see the 2 foot ribbon of silicone when George removed his cover? jeez thanks for those points mentioned, literally can`t wait to get my cam installed, I put the dna filter kit in, and you can immediately feel the improvement. I am also fitting hitchcocks quality valves for the full effect

Mine idled at 1200 brand new., over the next 3000 miles it gradually increased as it bedded in. Adjusted it at 1500 when I did an oil change and tappet adjustment, reset it again at 3000 miles and adjusted it again. Haven't touched it since. About 1/2 turn total clockwise.

Excellent. I put mine in over two years ago and now have done 25,000km, never looking back. Great video with good tips. Thank you.
