Heat is caused by catalytic converter (a small bulge) in the header pipe just beside right foot, not from radiator, you could have wrapped further down covering the full catalytic converter part which should have reduced some heat
I have talked about the hot air felt on the right foot when the radiator fan kicks. Other than that there is no heating issue. Anyways I will do some more testing and share the results 😊
I feel this is unncessary. If you are not able to live with this level of heat then this motorcycle is not for you. Maybe try a splendor or something. Honestly watching people do this makes me annoyed. This will not only cause further unwarranted issues but also void any warranty claims you might end up in because of the wrapping. Understand the basic essence of a motorcycle each part is exposed in a way that it can dissipate and manage heat in its own way. If you cover or wrap it there is no way it will be able to do that. I would suggest to remove it immediately before a major mishap happens.
Thank you for the info. There is no heating issue in the bike and I have mentioned this many times in my other videos. Especially the one in which I talked about the daily commute. In this video I have talked about the sharp hot air you feel when in tand still traffic. Mostly turning off the engine helps because it stops the fan. However I was looking to solve that specific hot air issue when the fan kicks in. And this is as always experimental I will remove/update accordingly.
@@OnceARider In summer heat dissipation will be a big issue. You feel more heat during standstill cause of reduced airflow and consequently more heating. This cover will trap even more heat, and thats the reason you feel heat is reduced. It would be better to leave the pipe exposed.
@@hariharanm1964 your points seems to be valid but there is one more theory I wanted to test. The wrap helps trap the heat inside and this helps hot air escape even faster and there is slight improvement in performance. I will remove those wraps soon if they have any negative impact. Again thank you so much for sharing the info. I will pin this conversation so that anyone who watches this video and thinks about trying this mod would know these points. 😊
Believe me bro , ur pipe will be rusted fully and the heat u trapped inside damages the catalytic converter and other components of the exhaust and Ur pipe is going to rust in no time..believe me I have the experience of using this wrap...
It's not recommended to use these wraps, the wrap will absorb the water if it rains and it will damage the pipe over a period of time causing rust issue.
Exhaust pipe rust anyway with time, but will observe for some time if it has more negative impact than positives I will remove it. However there is another theory that it keeps the heat inside and this helps air exit faster and there is slight improvement in performance so It is experimental for now.
Sure.. here is the list of tools I use 1. set of ring and open end spanners 2. 1/4" socket wrench set 3. 24mm ring spanner for rear tyre 4. Slide wrench 5. Good pair of pliers. with there tools you do 99% of service/maintenance of your bike Below are some useful product link. Ring spanners: amzn.to/4c6EjWZ Open end spanners: amzn.to/3yeIt1p 24mm spanners: amzn.to/4dpP3AY socket wrench set: amzn.to/4cgFnrs slide wrench: amzn.to/4dvyxzx Pair of pliers: amzn.to/4dtMiOY
@@OnceARider, thank you for taking the time to list all the tools with the links. T70 is needed for cone set adjustment and may need a 1/2" wrench. Do you know what Torx bits are needed for the fork alignment?
I think 1/2" wrench set is not really needed and I am not sure about the Torx bits, I haven't worked on the forks yet. May will update once I get chance to work on those.
Hello... It didn't make a huge difference, so I removed it. However the solution to the heating issue is using a good fully synthetic oil. I will be uploading a video on this topic this weekend.
@@OnceARider thanks mate. I am also looking for that. Another thing is I am facing right side pulling issue. How to resolve that? Service centre is saying that below 60kmph this will happen as an official statement by royal Enfield. Is it?
@@thumptales right side pull is due to suspension setup both are not same. The left one is for compression and the right one is for rebound. Hence the right suspension doesn't support the weight of the bike and it pulls towards the right at low speeds. You can say this is the character of the bike and I would advise not touch it. However if the right side pull is bothering you then, you can get your front rim spokes ture in a way they pull to the left to counter it. But this will cause your handle bar to turn left automatically when standstill.
That is not the case.. the heat exits with better efficiency from exhaust. However this mod didn't make any significant improvements so I removed it the very next day. ✌️
I will remove it soon. Just testing it for now whether it is making any difference or not. If it is useful to some extent then I will get my exhaust ceramic coated and wrapped.
It's not about engine heat issue, in fact I never felt engine heat on this bike as I have told in my previous videos. It is about the hot air you feel on your right foot when radiator fan kicks in. This only happens on right the foot where the exhaust pipe is present hence it is clear that this is not a engine heat issue otherwise same would be felt on left foot as well. That why I am experimenting with the wrap.

Looks like this might solve the heating issue 👍. Will be waiting for your updates in your upcoming videos.
Yes.. will update soon.
Yeah after this i will wrap my yezdi adventure pipe too waiting for updates
Will this cause rusting on silencer pipe
I am not sure about it but I think, it should not cause rusting. And there are many benefits of wrapping it.
Yes brother it will cause rusting issue over a period of time
100%
can you list the tools and bits you used for this job? I have a Himalayan too. I want to do some basic service and adjust alignments on my own.
Sure.. here is the list of tools I use
1. set of ring and open end spanners
2. 1/4" socket wrench set
3. 24mm ring spanner for rear tyre
4. Slide wrench
5. Good pair of pliers.

Is the heating reduced onto your right leg?

Which torque wrench set you are using?
It is not a torque wrench, it's a normal 1/4" socket wrench set.

@@OnceARider thanks brother for the information. Very much informative.
Heating issues solved, rusting issues oncoming
Yep.. removed it the very next day, it didn't make any significant improvements.
You will destroy the valves.. all the heat guess where is now..
That is not the case.. the heat exits with better efficiency from exhaust. However this mod didn't make any significant improvements so I removed it the very next day. ✌️
But brother it will cause u rusting issue in the pipe over a period of time . Better u can avoid the wrap bro
@@allinone10438 it is experimental, will observe it closely and will remove if it has some adverse effects.
Remove this as soon as possible. This is going to completely destroy your exhaust.
Hello.. yes, I removed it the very next day after testing it.. it was a candle that cost more than the cake situation. It hardly made any difference.
you are destroying your exhaust . it create resting verry fast
I will remove it soon. Just testing it for now whether it is making any difference or not.
If it is useful to some extent then I will get my exhaust ceramic coated and wrapped.
Wrap is the worst discussion you can make .
It is experimental anyways and looks like everybody has negative experience of it. I will remove it soon. Thanks for sharing your view.
Riders never do such stupid modes with any of ur motorcycles.....these kind of foolish....modes have nothing to do with...ur motorcycles..
Totally agree bro.. that was a bad decision.
This will cause rusting in the exhaust pipe! never use this.
Yep.. that was a bad idea, I removed it the very next day.
No need to waste of money
True, it was really a waste of time and money
You can use the engine ice coolant for more heat reduction.....
