Dear brother in heart. I am so very grateful about your simple and effective videos. You enable myself to DIY even as a mechanic in beginning. By your advice I did change the entire chain kit today. Formely I changed the tires and did a few more adjustments. I also appriciate your videos from the mountains which inspire me to travel there one day by myself. So please keep going!
Thanks mate, that brings a smile to my face. It is indeed a simple machine to take care of at home. Also the pleasure of working on it makes the overall experience of owning it even more meaningful. To many more happy miles,, cheers :)
Another invaluable, easy to follow and highly informative guide. You are teaching me so much about this bike. If I need to do something on my Himalayan, yours is the first channel I review. Thank you so much from the UK.
Thanks for all your maintenance videos. Successfully replaced the front and rear sprocket, and the chain by following your guidance. That front sprocket was on so tight!
Thanks mate, glad you found it useful :). And yes the front sprocket does seem to be over torqued but its mostly the Loctite. No less tough to break free ;) But would be easier next time. cheers :)
My sprocket nut was on so tight (at 13,600 miles) that even with my wife standing on the brake pedal, the wheel would turn before the nut would release. After a little thought, I found a Phillips head screwdriver that would fit through one of the holes in the back rotor, pushed it through and let it rest against the caliper, and leaned on my breaker bar. Success! So, if you don't have an assistant (or a wood block), or RE put your sprocket nut on really really REALLY tight, this is another way to keep things from turning.
Hey mate, really glad to here that, trust me, mine has done a bit over 14000 miles, and not been to service center yet and I would like to believe it never will ;) Yup saving the money is one but also, I cant have anyone touch any of my bikes, Himalayan included, serviced and cared for at home. Now to be fair I have made mistakes here and there, but nothing major and thus far all of them are holding up nicely, the oldest one has done over 100000 miles, naah no ones touching them :D cheers
@@leuheanrede I just did mine. I smeared some moly grease on the spline for the sprocket (saw that recommended on another YT channel - not sure if it's necessary but oh well). My nut was very hard to undo. I had it in gear (a mistake I won't repeat, as you mention, it strains the gearbox too much) and was standing on the brake lever and the wheel still turned when a friend tried to undo the nut! Had to use a long , long extension bar to get it undone. I replaced the 15T with a 16T and didn't need to break the chain - just slip the old one off and slip the new one into the chain and onto the spline after backing off the chain adjusters all the way. Back in the 70's we used to take off partly worn sprockets and turn them around so the new face of each tooth engaged with the chain. It got more miles out of the sprockets for us. RE seem to want around 100 lb/ft torque on that countershaft nut but reading other bike forums 45 seems fine, especially with the lock washer, so that's all I've torqued mine to. Makes it easy to remove next time. Thank you for the video! I always learn something from them, thank you for taking the time.
@@tinthangvlog6289 it's hard to get the front sprocket as a standalone piece. However, you might get one from the showroom spares if you're lucky or you can buy it as a set altogether which is much more easier.
Thanks mate, Idea is still to keep the motorcycle rolling trouble free with out of showroom kinda smoothness, really glad you found this useful, cheers ;)
Hi.In this you could have flipped/inverted the chain and would get a newer chain like feeling.i use 90 grade gear oil for lubricating the chain.it then runs super smooth.soundless.i own a BS3 2016 himalayan and maintained it like crazy.Motul engine oil.NGK iridium plug,nitrogen in tyres(MRF-Mogrip meteor M.better than Ceat)and this baby flies(perfectly tuned carburettor giving a mileage of 42 with power).No bragging but experience of owning and riding superbikes since 1979.
Thanks for the video. I have just done mine and replaced with 16 tooth. I did not have to undo the chain, just slip off the sprocket with the chain and slip on the new one with the chain.
Hey mate, Kid you not, I want to try 16 tooth socket myself but lack of availability is holding me back. Just curious to know what were the gains on highway runs? cheers
@@leuheanrede Wow. I got mine from the local dealer in Perth (cost be $65 AUD). Then a bought a complete DID X-ring chain and two diamond cut (made in Germany) sprockets (16/38) from Carpimoto in Italy (on line) for $180 apprx. AUD delivered (five days from the order). On the highway it drops about 400 RPM at 100kph and it spreads the gear changes out which suits the torquey motor. Engine feels less stressed and revvy. You lose a little bit for walking pace off-road (not much, but manageable in 90% of situations). I reckon the bike now feels 'perfect'. My riding is a good mix of long road (110kph), dirt road (80kph), off-road (30 kph in sand, gravel, mud, water crossings, hills, clay, thick scrub/bush), and it is the perfect bike. I've had BMW GS1200, DR800, DR650, SWM650 in the past. Hope this helps
I go to RE services center for front sprocket change 2 month before. They told me that one is around 1000. Advice me to change the whole chain set .I say no to them because my chain is not that much bad. Now I was thinking about change whole set because of discomfort sound and vibration from that but your video solve my whole problem money and time. Thanks alot once again sir.
Hehehe, indeed a bit high, i mean comparing to Yamaha, they are like 150, so its more than double, i dont even know what th complete set costs, hmm, next visit and i will enquire, and yes, even more is still cooking :D cheers :)
Hello there. Thanks for your helpful videos. Been working on getting that front sprocket loose all day now. Six foot scaffold bar extension still won’t budge. I would give up but I notice there is a problem behind the front sprocket. What I assume is a protective plate, secured by one bolt just above the sprocket, has sheared and is now loose. Do you know what this part is called? I have had a good look on exploded diagrams but can find no reference to it!
Very informative video. Thank you. I have also rode 16 thousand Kms now and my chain is making lot of noise. When tightened, it got fastened too much at some points and loose at others (when checked by manually rolling tyre for identification). Can you please guide me what part needs a change? How can I check if my present chain links are in good condition? Cheers!
hi friend, I hope you are doing well, so if I understand correctly, as soon as the front sprocket shows signs of wear, it must be changed and this will prevent the chain from wearing too much, so it will last longer a long time, on my Himalayan I have 23'000 km and I heard some strange noises coming from the chain, I think that it must be that, I will change the front sprocket and my chain looks good condition, the rear sprocket too. Sincerely François
Hey mate its been long 🙂 Thanks I am well, hope you are staying safe too. And 23000 kms I mean that is commendable. That shows how well you have taken care of your chain. Now you only run a slight risk if you change the front sproket that it might wear out soon as the worn chain will make its way to fit into teeth. But that will give you good 4 to 5000 kms I bet if you change now.
@@leuheanrede Hi friend, yes it's been a long time, this Wednesday I changed my tires, I put on Metzeler Tourances to drive on small roads, they are very quiet and pleasant to drive, I do not regret my choice (with the strap technique to support the tire and the piece of wood to hold the spacer in place, it's super easy, I also adopted your method to put the valve in the rim, super cool) and today Friday, finally I changed everything the transmission, the front and rear sprocket plus the chain, I had the kit, again no chain noise, it's the top, so I'm good for this summer. But in a few thousand km I would change the front sprocket, that's for sure. Receive my best regards and have a good weekend despite the covid, cordially François :-)
Thanks mate, really glad you are finding these vids useful :) as for the 16 teeth front yes can be done, aftermarket options are available, but you will have to add 2 links to the chain of find a suitable longer aftermarket chain to go along, cheers :)
Have issue with my chain sir. Some spots are really tight while there are some spots which are really loose. Pls suggest me the way to diagnose and solve the problem
Hey mate, how much kms have the bike done, Tight and loose spots are normal, just remember to adjust the chain on the tightest spot. these can last for about 20-30 k if timely maintenance is done. I have a vid on chain adjustment plz check it out and feel free to ask if any questions, cheers :)
@@leuheanrede The bike has done 12k+ km. I meant some spots are really tight , extremely tight and some are extremely loose. No way to adjust the chain as it supposed to be
Hey mate, I have used many brands thus far, just to mention a few, Motul, Castrol, Magsol , Yamalube, LiquiMoli(worst) etc. and other local brands, but experience with Motul has been a the best thus far. And thats decades of use if I might add. A very close friend of mine vouches for gear oil and I service his bike myself so have seen good results but I am just not ready to make that move yet ;) Cheers
Hey mate, I have not geared it, I have just changed it to stock. Idea was to demonstrate how changing just the fron sprocket can add to the overall life of the chain, cheers :)
I'm from Kolkata. I've been looking for this part from all most last month but couldn't find it. Till date I've placed order for this item on 2 different RE Service Centers but as per both of them the company isn't providing this for any unknown reason. Can you please guide me from where would I get this. And if you happen to have another one in your stock, can you please send it to my address. I shall arrange to transfer the product price and cost of shipping beforehand. Please do let me know. Love & respect for your consistent good work. Warm Regards.
Hey mate, motousher.com is one site where it is available but very expensive so I suggest keep requesting RE SVC people to source this is look in local automotive market as they might be of assistance. Unfortunately mine too arrived almost after 7 months and a lot of damage was already done. I believe next would be complete chain set change. Cheers :)
Kindly let me know that from where did you get the front sprocket as it's not available in the showroom near me. Is there any online store from I can get it.
Yup, same issue with me too, i sitll have a few things that are on back order with no ETA :) i think shipments are getting delayed cos of covid, fingers crossed, jaldi aa jayega now that things are easing up, cheers
Thanks for another excellent video, I'm in. You forgot to mention the torque setting of the spanner when tightening the sproket back in place. The manual reports a rather high value 13-16 Kgm, I tightened mine to the lower value, which I think is already more than enough, what's your opinion on that? Thank-you, and keep up the good work 👌
Thanks mate :), and yes you are right, i didnot mention it, reason being you might have noticed that it was not only over torqued from factory but there was also some red Loctite residue so 16 Kgm is like 150 Nm and again a bit too much i think, there is a risk of damaging the threads too.
The torque on a lot of the fasteners feels a bit high. I usually try to get it within 10% of the value written in the manual, then use a marker to draw a vertical line across the fastener. Any non-vertical lines need attention.
@@gauravchopra8892 glad to hear that mate :) and I sure himalayan would have out performed the expectations too. Where were you, I mean what places were visited.
@@leuheanrede thanks a lot but its not about adjust the coneset. I think my issue is in coneset base or poor quality coneset. So the coneset damaged repeatedly.
Hey mate, bought it from royal enfield service center only. Had to place it on order as they didn't have it in stocks, but arrived finally after long wait. Cheers
Hello once again sir. I have motul 7100 10w50 oil in my himalayan. I covered 500 in two days including 50km full throttle. I noticed around 100ml engine depleted. Is it normal??
Hello sir, yes that is totally normal and is a very good practice to top up oil level every 700-1000 kms to keep things inside the engine in good nick for long life, cheers :)
@@gurpreetgagan7671 hahahaa thanku sir ☺ Junaid bhai is a true gem of a guy. I am surprised you noticed the details there too :). Thanks again and cheers :)
Indeed mate it is, but if timed correctly and changed pre-emptively it can add to chain life, like say if doing it after 20000 kms, the chances are that we are too past gone and chain will indeed eat up the front sprocket in no time but say for example if done at 12000 kms, things are different ;) cheers :)
:D How do i answer this.. well i am cheap, or lets say cost effective, i have just completed a 19000 kms and worn out second set of Stock Ceats, and to be honest i am gonna go again for same stock ones third time too ;)
Yup mate, if past 15 to 18k depending on condition its best to get a complete set, Service center guys dont like changing just the front either, they always advise to change complete set, cheers :)
@@leuheanrede Really my rear spocket was cleard & shape of teeth idon't know front teeth how was that ..but helpfully your vidios very useful now days 😘😘thankyou very much bro I always waiting next video❤️❤️
Hi Wana check, I tried it in service centre they mentioned they only have full set not front one. I tried to source. It from local market via Rolon they also don't have. Do you have any idea any compatible or other manufacturers who sells
Hey mate, naah, there is no cost effective option available. I say that because there is a 1400+ inr sprocket available at moto usher website, but that doesn't make any sense, I mean we can get the whole new chainset assembly from RE at 2300 and some change. That being said, RE service centers can order just the front one if you give them the part number, mine arrived almost 4-5 months later.. So that's one way to go, give them the part number and order it. Other than that there is no other viable option currently Cheers
@@leuheanrede appreciate your response bro. I also placed same in there part distributor. Since last 4 month. But no luck till now. I got Rolon full kit in 1750 which they provide to RE as OEM. But checking atleast must have 2-3 in stock so next time have not to go for full kit
@@TravellingNoomad my pleasure mate 🙃 Yup rolon it is, same thing when bought at RE costs 2300 plus taxes. I am curious though as to why other RE service centers are not able to source just the front sproket. Fingers crossed i hope mine would keep sourcing them, I mean chain is done for now, might be changing the whole set soon, but need the front sproket for future 😉
@@leuheanrede let me know if you get it in spares, source me 2 of these 😉. Also I was looking for some technical details I have one source in local market they were asking what's the pitch size of spocket, if we know they will try to available to me. Saw your killar kistwar video. 👍
Hey mate, how much Kms done, mine was ready to be changed at around 12kms but had to wait for it to come at service center. thus changed at 16000+ kms and it was almost about to give up at that point. Cheers, :)
@@leuheanrede 13000 kms. I always use 90no gear oil. Chain and rear sprocket is brand new. But front sprocket teeth look like hook shape. They took 350 rs labour charges
@@deepakpatelji well, to be honest it has not been made easy by RE. This is the only DIY that requires additionally additional tools for the first time, but from second time onwards it's easy. So 350 is excessive no doubt but somewhat justifiable too🤓 cheers

Hey mate, iit as exceptional :D and yes all the way to Leh, will posts vids soon, they are in pre-edit stage now :p
Maine bhi February me parts order kiye the. Aaj tak nahi aaye :(
buy Gopro head mount or chest mount, video aasani se bana paoge.
Yup, same issue with me too, i sitll have a few things that are on back order with no ETA :) i think shipments are getting delayed cos of covid, fingers crossed, jaldi aa jayega now that things are easing up, cheers
From where you have purchased
Thanks buddy for video...
Thanks for another excellent video, I'm in. You forgot to mention the torque setting of the spanner when tightening the sproket back in place. The manual reports a rather high value 13-16 Kgm, I tightened mine to the lower value, which I think is already more than enough, what's your opinion on that? Thank-you, and keep up the good work 👌
Thanks mate :), and yes you are right, i didnot mention it, reason being you might have noticed that it was not only over torqued from factory but there was also some red Loctite residue so 16 Kgm is like 150 Nm and again a bit too much i think, there is a risk of damaging the threads too.
The torque on a lot of the fasteners feels a bit high. I usually try to get it within 10% of the value written in the manual, then use a marker to draw a vertical line across the fastener. Any non-vertical lines need attention.
@@alaskanuni a torqued nut does not need loktide. This nut is secured by by the safetywasher.
Awesome video bro ☺️
Thanks mate, cheers :)
One teeth of my front sprocket simply broke at 14200km mark-and changed the whole chain set-will change only the front at the 24000km mark
Hey mate, been long. Hope you are keeping well :).
Yup, 10 to 12 interval will be good. Lean a bit towards 12 though cheers ;).
@@leuheanrede by God's Divine Grace,all well-was in the mountains last month with the bike-guess the off roading wore the sprocket extra fast.
@@gauravchopra8892 glad to hear that mate :) and I sure himalayan would have out performed the expectations too. Where were you, I mean what places were visited.
What year is your bike ? Is the process same as on 2021?
Make a vdo about coneset its always makes problem. A kat kat noise comes from it. 😥
Hey mate, hope this helps, cheers :)

@@leuheanrede thanks a lot but its not about adjust the coneset.
I think my issue is in coneset base or poor quality coneset. So the coneset damaged repeatedly.
Bro, can you pls tell me from where you procured this sprocket, will be big help to me. Thanks bro.
Hey mate, bought it from royal enfield service center only. Had to place it on order as they didn't have it in stocks, but arrived finally after long wait. Cheers
@@leuheanrede Bro , thanks for the immediate response, I will order it thru local dealer here.
Bro, you said your ordered on feb and you got now. Can you please tell from where you ordered the front sprocket?
Hey mate it was ordered from RE service center only but got delayed because of corana, usually it would have been about 15-20 days, Cheers :)
@@leuheanrede but unfortunately I am unable to get that from the RE Service Centers.
Hello once again sir. I have motul 7100 10w50 oil in my himalayan. I covered 500 in two days including 50km full throttle. I noticed around 100ml engine depleted. Is it normal??
Hello sir, yes that is totally normal and is a very good practice to top up oil level every 700-1000 kms to keep things inside the engine in good nick for long life, cheers :)
@@leuheanrede thanks sir . I also c your face one Junaid sir stories . You are really a charming gentle man.👍👍
@@gurpreetgagan7671 hahahaa thanku sir ☺ Junaid bhai is a true gem of a guy. I am surprised you noticed the details there too :). Thanks again and cheers :)
Isn't it better to change the whole set, sprockets and chain, all together? because the well used chain will never be perfect match on a new sprocket.
Indeed mate it is, but if timed correctly and changed pre-emptively it can add to chain life, like say if doing it after 20000 kms, the chances are that we are too past gone and chain will indeed eat up the front sprocket in no time but say for example if done at 12000 kms, things are different ;) cheers :)
Bro which is d best tyre for himalayn
:D How do i answer this.. well i am cheap, or lets say cost effective, i have just completed a 19000 kms and worn out second set of Stock Ceats, and to be honest i am gonna go again for same stock ones third time too ;)
Bro were can i order front spocket .
Any update sir?
When going service center full set change 😭😭😭
Yup mate, if past 15 to 18k depending on condition its best to get a complete set, Service center guys dont like changing just the front either, they always advise to change complete set, cheers :)
@@leuheanrede Really my rear spocket was cleard & shape of teeth idon't know front teeth how was that ..but helpfully your vidios very useful now days 😘😘thankyou very much bro I always waiting next video❤️❤️
@@suhailmjr thanks mate. I have been a bit occupied but yes next set of vid coming up shortly. Cheers 😊
Hi Wana check, I tried it in service centre they mentioned they only have full set not front one.
I tried to source. It from local market via Rolon they also don't have.
Do you have any idea any compatible or other manufacturers who sells
Hey mate, naah, there is no cost effective option available. I say that because there is a 1400+ inr sprocket available at moto usher website, but that doesn't make any sense, I mean we can get the whole new chainset assembly from RE at 2300 and some change.
That being said, RE service centers can order just the front one if you give them the part number, mine arrived almost 4-5 months later..
So that's one way to go, give them the part number and order it.
Other than that there is no other viable option currently
Cheers
@@leuheanrede appreciate your response bro.
I also placed same in there part distributor. Since last 4 month. But no luck till now.
I got Rolon full kit in 1750 which they provide to RE as OEM.
But checking atleast must have 2-3 in stock so next time have not to go for full kit
@@TravellingNoomad my pleasure mate 🙃
Yup rolon it is, same thing when bought at RE costs 2300 plus taxes.
I am curious though as to why other RE service centers are not able to source just the front sproket. Fingers crossed i hope mine would keep sourcing them, I mean chain is done for now, might be changing the whole set soon, but need the front sproket for future 😉
@@leuheanrede let me know if you get it in spares, source me 2 of these 😉.
Also I was looking for some technical details I have one source in local market they were asking what's the pitch size of spocket, if we know they will try to available to me.
Saw your killar kistwar video. 👍
@@TravellingNoomad thanks mate🙃 and pitch size is 525. I am myself trying to source this from open market for future, will let you know how it goes😉
Awesome!
Where did u order this?? Please take a min to help me
Hey mate, ordered it from Enfield service center. It was readily not availble so took some time and further delayed because of covid. Cheers :)
@@leuheanrede thankyou brother for your valuable time.. Keep posting diy vedios..you are doin a great job. Keep going
Give me the link of the sporket
My front sporket is gone too :(
Hey mate, how much Kms done, mine was ready to be changed at around 12kms but had to wait for it to come at service center. thus changed at 16000+ kms and it was almost about to give up at that point. Cheers, :)
@@leuheanrede 13000 kms. I always use 90no gear oil. Chain and rear sprocket is brand new. But front sprocket teeth look like hook shape. They took 350 rs labour charges
@@deepakpatelji well, to be honest it has not been made easy by RE. This is the only DIY that requires additionally additional tools for the first time, but from second time onwards it's easy. So 350 is excessive no doubt but somewhat justifiable too🤓 cheers
Good👍
Thanks mate :)
I want one frond sprocket
Hey mate, these are hard to get by, i ordered these 6-7 months back at service center, try it maybe its available now, cheers :)
Front sprocket shopping adress please
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks mate 🙂
try to show the process clearly and make videos short. Thank you
Thanks mate, true and honest advice is always appreciated. Cheers :)
@@leuheanredethank you again for the DIYs. 👍
