Great video. Not relevant for me right now but it will be when I've got some decent miles on my Euro 4 Himalayan, which I bought as brand new old stock. Thanks again 🙂
As usual great stuff by the both of you. Never mind the housework, you can give us a tour of the garden so that we can see how well green fingered Sue has done as it's now mid summer!
Excellent video, Ian. Very informative. I like the thought of having a helper. You are lucky. Tell Sue I can cook, scones, and crumpets, and muffins while she helps you, help us. 😂 No slip of the tongue concerning your next _______. Anticipation....
Thanks for a great video, explained in a way that I now understand the sag and how to set it up with preload, I prefer the long form videos and I had a quick browse through the head bearings video, but will watch it fully when it becomes time to change them on the scram 411. I tried to look at the channel membership to see how much it was and what options there were but got no response on clicking the join button. Don x
Good video you great people, just like watching ya both, great team, love it, back to the normal routine I like it better, thanks both take care, NW biker dude
Great video! Clear as day! Could you give me an idea for my weight of 92kg please,I could guess around 30mm but I'd prefer your expert guess than mine! Thanks again
I think you might be about right. When you try it if it's too soft just turn it one more complete turn tightening the spring clockwise. Try it again and it should be fine. At 30mm if you think it feels OK just try turning it softer anticlockwise one turn. You might find it is even better than before. I have actually backed mine off one turn myself. It is now perfect. I have test ridden it as you will see in my next video out on Monday.
I may have missed the comment, but I was curious about the grub screw location. Are all the holes in the collar threaded to accept the grub screw? Otherwise I could see difficulty in tightening it when it’s located on the back side of the shock. Your comment about sitting and drinking coffee and chatting with friends all day may cost you your lovely assistant.
No there are two threaded holes but only one grub screws. When you adjust the shock just make sure the grub screws is point to the left hand side the you can get to tighten it up ok.
I need some advice on my Himalayan, but unrelated to this specific video. My lithium battery died on me leaving my bike stranded for a few days until I got a replacement. I fitted the new one by the "side of the road, " was rushing and installed it with the wrong polarity. I pressed the starter button couple of times and heard a clicking and then realized the mistake. With the battery now correctly installed the bike cuts out in motion and everything dies (and hopefully not me) and then all comes back on again. Sometimes it will not restart. The battery icon is showing on the display. How can this be repaired? Afraid some damage has resulted from my stupidity! Thanks for any advice!
It's hard for me to say as I would need to check it out. When the engine is running is the battery ligh on then. When it cuts out and won't restart,when you turn the key on can you here the fuel pump prime up. If you can't check the battery terminals are clean and tight. Check the fuel pump relay under the right-hand side panel that it is got a good connection even swap it with one from under the seat as they are the same relays. Try this first. When the bike is running get a electric meter and check the battery voltage with the engine running it should read about 13.5 V - 14.00V to make sure you did not blow the reg ectfier. Sorry it's hard for me to say as I would need to look at the bike ,these are just somethings for you to check.
@@iantoy7778 I have ordered an electric meter. Checked the new battery this morning with the charger and it was run down again after being fully charged yesterday, shortly before the short run up the road and the problems started. Could something be pulling all the power out of the battery in such a short time? I remember now, that I did leave the light on whilst talking to someone for a while without the engine running, but not for that long. However, this also happened when I picked up the bike after having installed the brand new battery as described before, ie engine cutting out and then surging and battery light on with the engine running.
@@iantoy7778 I checked with the new purchased meter. Reading without the engine running is 13.37 and running reads 12.83. The battery light did go on and off whilst riding and also everything died including the engine.
@@gcgopro6912 It sounds like either regulator rectifier problem or a dead short somewhere. Check the earth lead where it goes to the frame. Take it off, clean it with sandpaper and put it back on. The bike isn't charging , it's only running on what power is in the battery. You need to get the charging circuit checked out.
That was priceless for me. Thanks very much. And an excellent assistant.
Our pleasure!
Good evening Ian.. What a team you are both.. setting the sag brilliantly explained. Cheers Phil 🇦🇺
Cheers Phil. We make a good team😂

Well explained process of setting the sag,looking forward to your thoughts on the result once you have taken it for a ride. Thanks for the videos.
Coming soon!
As usual great stuff by the both of you. Never mind the housework, you can give us a tour of the garden so that we can see how well green fingered Sue has done as it's now mid summer!
I'll try to get a video of the garden done for you this week. Cheers Sue
