Is there a way to disconnect ignition wiring without taking off the gas tank?
@@DennisTudos it’s been awhile but I don’t think so
What an awesome video, thank you sir.
Thank you
Thanks man!
thank you
FYI, the proper (and simpler) way to remove those pushpins is to push the pin in from the front, then remove it. When replacing them, push the pin back through so it's sticking out the front, install the pushpin then push the pin until it's flush again.
@@rdpfc2155 thanks!
That 4 minutes of my life I'll never get back thanks 😅
@@davidholmes3449 if you watch the series, it will waste more. I don’t disappoint! 😅
Hello, just came across your video while searching for videos on how to reassemble the engine on a Himalayan. recently my bike had an issue where the exhaust valve broke off and damaged the top end of the cylinder and piston. had it towed to the shop and they took apart the cylinder. just trying to figure how all the parts go back together so that I can fix it myself. the shop wanted $4600 to repair it. your video appears to be the most thorough. but I can't find part 3 of this series. hope you do more videos. I'm subscribing. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
@@MrBikercat look in the 462cc big bore series. I’ll check out what is going on here.
@@MrBikercat check out this series. It is complete. Not sure why it’s missing a part 3 but I’ll investigate. Look up 462cc big bore kit for the disassembly and assembly instructions ua-cam.com/video/jfZaBusAIqg/v-deo.htmlsi=ZAN5kHWUdJXDkAkj

Nice, thanks!!
Thank you
It is a big bullshit to take out this battery. I just did it but I suffered 1h with it. Now I am curious how I will put it back at spring. They put those cables like a 5 y old kid.
What’s the purpose of the tape?
@@RagnarLothbrok2222 the battery terminals are so close to the frame. It could close the circuit on the battery if both terminals touch. I have no idea how scratched up the frame is on other people’s bikes so safety first.
You used the wrong bolts for the right side. That's why it's too long.
It’s a aftermarket kit, probably made to fit early and later models. The 2020-2021 models are a little different. That’s why I bought a 2022
Nice video !!!!
GREAT video! Perfectly informative. Now I know that my Himi is Euro 4 with total of two relays. Thank you so much.

can use only daylightt ?
@@kittitouchsamniangjam4636 I don’t understand the question
This is the second video that i saw and at the end don’t show the motocicle from the front. I dont know how how much the protector covered, in case of accident.

Where you connect indicator fuel gauge Negative wire sir ?
@@gouba2307 the motorcycle I installed it on, doesn’t have a fuel level sensor. Try a common ground on the frame.
@@Mytwistedvoices thankyou . I will try it
Too fast to read the comments in the pictures. So much lost information. No sound to hear the words either.
@@stubrown6903 press the space bar to pause. I’m not good at speaking, too many times I listen to others and I don’t understand their words (the way they are facing etc). Other people don’t have English as their first language, they may not understand either. (Also) I play music when I’m working on my bikes. I dislike turning it down to try to hear someone. This is my reasons.
Very helpful but that last step putting those 2 original screws back in took me a while
@@andylubetkin6579 I’m glad you finished the install!
Excellent, clear and well=paced. Many thanks.
Thanks for the vid I could get the fuel line off

Awesome thanks after watching your video im gonna get the daytime sensor also@Mytwistedvoices
@@garyfogle-e2n I would skip it. I started to have issues with it later, maybe adding a separate relay might work

@@whitetonguemotorcycling I have a lot more video but it was useless when the project went no where. I’m out of the country for a few months. My son will ride it home when it’s ready.
Can someone tell me the bolt spacing of the calipers?

The caliper to the mount bracket is 80mm center hole to center hole. Hope this helps
@@Mytwistedvoices that helps a lot! Thank you very much.
Can someone tell me the bolt spacing of the calipers?
Why wouldn’t you just use a bearing separator to pull the bottom bearing? I’ve done it that way on every other triple tree I worked on
17 seconds in the video explains this decision.

Hello. Could you post the results please
Sure, I’ll get to work on it. The results is a completed seat, better for a shorter person. Just not professional looking
@@Mytwistedvoices If it is functional, it will be very helpful for me too. If you could, please do explain the process.
@@visangh do you live in the United States?
yes please
Your video tutorials are always excellent. Thank you for taking the time to do them and here’s hoping for many more.
Thank you! It’s tough to consider the steps between instructions, consider “common tools” I have pneumatics and fancy equipment and how to breakdown sections in parts someone can follow. Jumping around helps no one.
I am looking into buying a cam and my first choice was the Tec, but they stopped answering my e-mails in mid stream. So now I am looking at Hitchcock's stage two cam. It appears to be a billet build as I do not see a decompressor in the picture. I am having problems with popping and stalling at idle and am changing the valves and hoping to eliminate the decompressor. Is this vid using data from the Hitchcocks stage one cam?
Hitchcock’s is from billet now, they don’t have the decompressor anymore. please go to their website for updated information. If you’re having idle issues. 1) adjust the TPS to .67 v. 2) replace the spark plug with iridium 3) eliminate the parasitic draw. I have videos on all three. “Follow on maintenance” video in the 462cc will show how to adjust the TPS. Adjust to .67v not .50v. Hitchcock’s sells an iridium plug and parasitic draw harness (I have a DIY video too). Worth every penny.
@@Mytwistedvoices I did all that with the help of On Two Wheels Ben, eliminated the Euro stuff as well. Added the Fuel-X pro and no real change to the stalling. The bike still pops and backfires through the intake and dies, always around idle. A mechanic who works on RE bikes said it sounds to him like a valve not seating right, or the cam decompressor failing. I figured I might as well go for 30hp if I am going to have to pull the head anyways.
@@Mytwistedvoices I also saw no real specs that I could use to justify buying the Kent cam over the cheaper and more popular Tec cam. I would like to be sold on the Kent cam with dyno charts and such. My guess is that the two cams are the same except for price and that is why Hitchcock's doesn't give technical data. They are selling on what is called in marketing, prestige pricing. The name brand and the generic may be identical in all ways but some people want the prestige of having the most expensive. I have done business with Hitchcock's and they are great, but I told them I was a value based customer. Sell me on why I should buy the Kent over the Tec. It will be interesting to see if they respond and how.
@@danielben-avraham1539 sounds like you did your homework with the failing camshaft. I how you get the valve situation straightened out. It isn’t hard to use valve grinding compound to lip the valve, just takes a little time and tools. GL.
Thank you. Very clear!
U most live down south
Congrats on these videos. I am by no means a mechanic. I've always been better at breaking things than fixing them.... But I'd never have gotten the job started without these posts. Sadly, when I got the head off I found a big chunk missing off the side of the piston, so I now have to strip down the whole engine to clean it out. This will feel like an ancient explorer going off the map without your videos. Well done. Excellent work.
Good Luck with your project! There is a lot of good feed back with this video series. I am curious how your piston lost a huge chunk of metal? What state are you living in?
In the sunny state of Hertfordshire (said with a degree of irony since the sky here is rarely anything but grey..) in the UK. My own fault. I ran it dry through poor maintenance, so I figured I might as well upgrade if I had to take the head off anyway... I'd have attached had a pic if I could, but it looked like someone had taken a bite out of the side of the piston. Couldn't see any bits with an endoscope, so I guess I just have to bite the bullet and start stripping. A cautionary tale for any that don't take routine maintenance seriously enough..
@@steveogrady893 these bikes need good routine regiment. I have a video called Weekend maintenance.
Excellent thanks a lot very informative + no sound makes it for a perfect tutorial.
Writing a script increases the time. I found that people follow along in their garages or outdoors. I found that some important words are hard to hear, the words I put are large and to the point.
Love it thanks for the work
That's great tutorial. Can you tell me the model of the windscreen? It's much better looking than stock one
I have a DART fly screen. I like it. It only blocks the wind on the highways.
my sensor is lighten up all the time, do you know what can it be?
Is it plugged into the battery?
@@Mytwistedvoices it's plugged on the speedometer, which is plugged on battery. The rpm, turn lights and other stuff works perfectly, but the sensor doesn't work properly, I tested passing the magnets in front of it, and the speed doesn't change. The sensor light is always on.
@@flamelacacio8150 sorry, I miss understood. Two wires provide power the other is for sensing. Open the connector and make sure there isn’t a bent pin. Check the sensor for plastic or covering.
Thank you for the great video! I was dreading re-installing my battery after having it on a tender all winter - now I'm ready to jump in and get it done after work today!
Please let me know how it goes!
@@Mytwistedvoices Success! Thanks again for this detailed & clear video 🙏
Do i need to disconnect battery? :o
At 2:18 in the video, I disconnect the battery. It’s good practice because we are going to disconnect electrical connections.
Also fuel will be exposed and we don’t want electricity.
@@Mytwistedvoices i see! Thats good! Yes i look at video, really good, thank you so much
Really helpful. much appreciated and thanks for posting your video.
Why do you need a hydraulic press?
Where did you buy them?
Triumph dealer on EBay. These are the factory OEM.
Hi MTV , do you have an e-mail address or are you on any of the socials so I can ask questions privately ? atb
Do this again, (I saw you. I went to Facebook and messenger you but it said you didn’t have messenger) Try to join “Triumph Trident 660” on Facebook. I’m a moderator there. But there are resources at the Himalayan site. Just answer the questions with “looking for mtv on all the questions “… this time I’ll accept. My bad we will get this right.
I accepted your request, I can’t seem to tag your name but it’s in the member area. Please ask what you need (sorry about the delay)
Can you help me? When I start up the menu settings of my speedometer, it says directly C2871. I can't enter a code or anything else. I have the version where you can add the speedo cable on the back of the sensor.
I am not familiar with that version. Make sure all the wiring is hooked up.
