I have watched a lot of videos of first service for Enfields. This is by far the best. Great job Gents!
Thanks sooo much!!
Woohoo finally found one in American English language. It's like a breath of fresh air from all the India and England ones I've been watching. Especially those Indian ones, my God! They start in English then like 1 minute in the video it's all Hindi. LOL Made this so simple and easy to understand and big thanks for mentioning the tools and specifically the sizes(and in text on the video!) of everything. I'm coming from the car world and was a little intimidated since I have never worked on a Motorcycle, but I have worked on plenty of cars. I didn't realize how easy these Royal Enfield 350 bikes are to work on. It's like the simple man's engine. Thank you for posting!
Glad to have helped! I’ve thought the same!
Watching from Ireland , great jobs lads, especially with the tappets. Will be back for more. Keep safe☘
@@johnbarrett9144 thanks much! More coming!!
Very useful and formative
Thanks a million 4 sharing this guyz !
So glad to help!!
Great over view for those wanting to do their own servicing which dealers charge silly money for what is a very simple process..
Just to add something that I've discovered servicing my 350 .
If you also unplug that small grey connector at the back of the rocker cover it makes removing and refitting the cover way way easier.
I also carefully removed that black mastic from the gasket and head so its not stuck on.
Not leaked ever since as its only a splash fed area.
Imo the glue is just to hold the gasket during manufacturing on the assembly line.
New ones dont come with a little tube of mastic and its not in the Enfield spares catalogue So imo and Ive proven it . Its just not needed.
Stuart Fillingham has also done this on his channel.
But be careful you dont drop bits of mastic down the cam chain hole when pulling it off..
All the best guys.

Thanks Lee, and some good tips!
11:10 - it is very easy to chip the paint on the tank/frame (ask me how I know!) when lifting the tank. Put some soft towel between frame and front of tank to avoid it. Thanks for the video - very good.
@steven-vn9ui oh agreed! And thanks for the kind words
Terrific video. I often wonder if these motors are assembled at the factory with tight valve gaps because they all seem tight and then the second time you do it they are perfect - no change. Tight valve gaps are bad. Can cause burned valves. You mentioned 10 Nm on the "Head Bolts." I think you meant valve cover bolts. Good idea to stick a towel on your tank when you are working on the bike to avoid any mishaps. Don't ask how I know. That oil was not too bad.
Haha yes valve cover bolts! You have so many good observations! Thank you for your kind words!
This is awesome. Thank you for making such a thorough and comprehensive video. I know I'll be referring to this video again in the future for maintenance on my 2023 RE Classic 350.
I'm so glad to have helped. These are really good bikes to perform maintenance on and practice your maintenance skills I believe :)
Thank a lot for this video, this is very detailed video and appreciate for sharing this. Only thing I am not able to find link to buy the parts , would you mind adding Link to the parts to buy from.
Great question…to be honest I order the consomables on eBay :)
Good job. I think I have only watched one other video that shows how to do this and is clear and shows good camera angles. Like another comment I read on here most of them are from India and it's hard to understand and a lot of time the camera angles are bad, and they go too fast to see what's going on. I personally take mine into the dealer to do the valves. I believe that is done every 6000 after the initial 300-mile service. If I am wrong about that let me know, but I think I saw that somewhere or read it in the owner's manual. I do my chain frequently and I do the oil, oil filter change every 3000 miles myself. I am coming up on 12000 miles on mine and I will take it in for the service, and you are right about the expense but for me sometimes it pays to let someone else do it. Someday maybe I will give it a shot and I will definitely use your video for help.
Thank you! Yes Every 6000 miles after the first service. Dealer is safer, and self service is cheaper by far! :D
I learned in pilot training, there are procedures and there are techniques. Procedures are what must be done. Techniques are how we get them done.
Because I am lazy, I came up with a technique that is more work initially but makes the job easier in the long run. Essentially during subsequent services.
At 13:50 you tell him to leave the gasket in place. Instead, remove the little side plate and CAREFULLY remove the silicone at the semicircle. Set the gasket in its normal orientation onto your cardboard and spray the upper surface with 3M adhesive. #77 or 45 will do.
Clean the mating surface on the valve cover and secure the gasket into the groove. Set it aside to dry while you adjust the valves.
On reinstalling the cover DO NOT use any other sealant. You don’t need it. From now on the gasket will remain attached to the cover making reassembly far easier! Don’t forget the the little side plate over the semicircle.
TDC has to be on the compression stroke. Your method could result in the crank being 180° out. Also the screwdriver method gets you close but there are marks on the cam that are far more precise.
If you don’t have a 14mm Allen socket you can simply put the bike in 3rd or 4th gear and rotate the tire to rotate the engine.
For Classic owners the seats are held in by two cross chassis bolts.
Royal Enfield’s video shows not removing the 17mm plug. They simply remove the screen and drain from there.
While doing this service it’s a good idea to lube any pivot points like the brake and clutch levers. 😊
One final note. The valves are quiet when they are too tight. It may sound better but it will lead to early demise of the valves. Loud valves are happy valves!
Dan you have sown awesome points and
Techniques! I’ll pin this one
Excellent job and well explained. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!!! Glad to help/share.
At 21:51, there was a sound and you quickly said “turn it off!” What was that sound and what was the fix?
Haha good catch..that’s an oppsie I left in by mistake. It was actually just the fuel pump priming. I got scared but it was nothing ;)
@@MCCJustMotos Thanks. So we shouldn’t worry if we hear that same sound.
hi guys thought i was been clever ! had bike running in 1st gear brush cleaned then spray lubed then had a senior moment put on glove grabbed rag held loosely chain caught the rag yep you got it sprocket cut a quarter of my thumb off last week ! should no better after 50 years on motorcycles cheers guys
Oh my gosh that is terrible! I am so sorry to hear that. I mean its a warning to all but wow...I hope your healing okay at least?
Thank you healing well but shorter lol ! Yes people may learn from this i have , great vids guys ! Bill.
What happened at 21:53 when you cut the engine and video then cut back in with the seat removed with no comment?
lol…I think I just was cleaning up the bike a bit felt it was a step backward to take the seat off again.. so I guess I was a bit embarrassed lol.
@@MCCJustMotos I thought maybe you heard or saw something and ended up having to open it back up. Glad to hear that wasn't the case!
i know a dude that used a rag to clean motorcycle chain while it was running. lost all his fingers
I’ve seen stories just like that…crazy! Don’t turn your bike on to clean the chain!
What is the mileage on 1st and 2nd service?
First Service is 300 Miles, then 3000 miles.
Thank you
@@MCCJustMotos Thank you.
