  • Here's a look at the pilot or promo clip on what i plan to do if I go ahead with the 25 part series on my Roadside Cook and Ride adventure in the Australian outback .
    My thoughts being this series could take a good year to complete all episodes
    Plus I've also added a very special bonus om how to adjust your valves on any of the new model Royal Enfield Classic 350 or the Royal Enfield 350 Meteor
    Both share the same motor.

      well your right the sun shines quite a lot ...maybe too much...lol plenty of bird life too. where i live i have heaps of roads to ride or tracks too plus the scenery differs differs from place to place.
      plenty of riders live in the city so its a fair hike for them to travel but i often bump into them on dirt roads -not so the sealed as they are going too fast...lol

    Hi, I have a Meteor 350 with the same engine, so I thought I'd comment. These tips aren't in order, because I have to explain something separately about the valve adjustment itself. One, I got all the parts and tools I needed before starting; that's key! On E-Bay, you can order a first service kit from India; it'll have the oil filter and all the gaskets you need. Two, if you remove the valve cover gasket, you will destroy it because of that semi-circular hole on the left side; it was put in there with black RTV, and it's a bitch to get out. Three, when removing the gasket, you'll need to use something that's softer than the aluminum in the head; you can use a credit card, hotel card, etc. for removing the gasket material that's stuck to the head. Four, you'll need rubbing alcohol to remove the rest of the RTV around the semi-circular hole. Five, when reinstalling the gasket, I put six dabs of RTV in the valve cover track, so ask to keep the gasket in place for when you flip over the valve cover for reinstallation. Finally, when adjusting the valves, I used the go/no-go method; I'll explain below.
    When adjusting the valves, first, I had a special tappet adjustment tool; this is a combination socket wrench with a screwdriver in the top of the socket; this enables you to hold either the nut or screw in place while adjusting the other. It's a LIFESAVER! Something like this is worth its weight in gold: www.amazon.com/CTA-Tools-2218-Engine-Adjusting/dp/B006Z58XQ2/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3E72BATJFPQEL&keywords=valve+clearance+adjuster&qid=1646308142&sprefix=valve+clearance+adjuster%2Caps%2C58&sr=8-2 Now, for the go/no-go method.
    What I did in setting the gap was adjust the tappet so that the next bigger size would barely fit in the edge or side of the tappet. IOW, I'd take a 0.10 mm feeler for the intake, then set it so it would barely fit in the side. Then, I took the 0.08 mm, inserted it, and it had minimal, i.e. just discernable, drag. I did the same with the exhaust tappet. I took a 0.20 mm feeler to it, and adjusted it so it would barely fit; then, I took the 0,18 mm gauge, and again, it had minimal drag. The amount of drag you're going for is the same that you'd feel when pulling a sheet of paper between two, glossy magazine, e.g. sandwiched between two copies of "The Economist" or something similar. When the drag is barely discernable, you're there. For me, the go/no-go method worked. Like you, my bike ran SO MUCH BETTER after I was done!
    Before I go, I'd like to thank you for showing a better approach for dealing with the ignition coil and its associated connections. That gave me FITS! So props for showing me a better way to do it next time. Cheers... :)

    A flat blade screw driver will keep the screw from turning (i.e. from changing the clearance setting) while you tighten the lock nut.
    Having the crank just near TDC is sufficient - it doesn't have to be exact since the tappet clearance while the valves are closed is constant over a large span of degrees.

    • @ridewithwarro
      @ridewithwarro  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      yeah your right there but i had one problem....no flat screwdriver ...lol i thought about going to the auto shop to buy a set but seeing i don't respect tools i decided to just do it on the fly...lol

      yeah i had no plans but a few asked so i put it together. yeah its a lot easier to do than the 650 with much less work and easier to get the gasket on even while its still attached.
      id say if i had used a new one i would have pressed it into the tappet cover and ran a bit of sealant like on the factory job
      so far so good after 300 klm

    most videos just now are people reviewing the bike, but not actually owning it, so I'm not gonna learn what it's like to live with day to day and how easy or hard maintenance jobs will be.
    I prefer to do my own servicing as well. That way you know it's been done right.

    • @oknevals
      @oknevals 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I mean, one can just insert stick through the spark plug opening and find when it changes direction as the wheel is slowly turned. There can be only two positions. When both valves are loose, it is TDC or close enough.

      @ridewithwarro  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      if or when i have to do it-i'll watch this clip again myself...lol best tip by far is if you can avoid it -leave the factory gasket alone.
      once you pull it i'd say a fair bit of careful clean up is required prior to seating a new one.
      seat old one from plug side and i bet if i'd used some gasket sealant to hold it in i may have been able to seat it completely by myself...
      hard to say but possible

    I remember what a fiddly job it was last time so I've bought a set of tappet spanners, they're not expensive and would be ideal for your bike, have a look on Amazon or eBay.

The next closest dealer is 5 and 9 hours away. But I sure don't want to drive that far for warranty work or service intervals that if I don't keep will void my warranty.

      one can easily remove the tappet cover and replace it without damage several times but if outright careless -not so lucky

    Hey Warro, just catching up with these past videos. Hope you had a great Christmas with family! I reckon the best thing to do is the pre-bend the flat feeler gauge slightly as best as possible to have just 20mm of flat to not have the holding hand end touching either the gasket in place or any other part of the head. This stops the gauge bending between a point of either the valve tip & the head. The full 20mm face of the gauge will be the only part sliding.

    Thinking of returning to motorcycling after a 13 year hiatus, with a planned job relocation from dense city life to the rural countryside. The REC350 seems to fit the bill. I'm watching as many DIY videos as I can (thanks Warro and Stuart F.) as the nearest RE dealer is a 5 hour round trip. Only real problem I foresee is that I might need Warro to send over wife for that pair of hands that might be needed. Is there a servicing job that definitely requires a dealer's mechanic expertise?

    • @ridewithwarro
      @ridewithwarro  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      ive done that job a couple of times just to get some photos.heres what ive found out.
      1. dont remove the original rocker cover gasket-it can be re-used several times.
      2. if you place a small amount of gasket maker on all 4 sides of the rocker cover and from right side of motor feed it through and then press the gasket in the centre and work ones way around each side -then lay the cover flat on the cylinder head it mates perfectly and no need for additional help.
      then grab a torck and lift the rocker say 1cm and shine the light about to inspect that it is seated.
      back to the gasket -there not cheap to buy -i think i paid aud $35 for mine and was only bought as a reserve. its a lot more work involved if you pull a good gasket just to replace it with the other.
      i think its just a trick to get more sales on the spares and more $$$ in the severice
      while fitting and taking photos i removed and replaced the same gasket on the blue bike about 8 times

    That is an interesting clip. Perhaps you might want to put a small amount of silver anti-seize on the spark plug threads to make the spark plug easier to remove the next time. My guess is that it was so hard to remove because of its very long threads. Also, here is a tip: You can buy stepped go/no-go thickness gauge sets that make it easier to get the correct valve lash gap using only one gauge. I believe Amazon sells them. When tightening the valve lash locking nut it is very helpful to use a screwdriver to hold the adjuster in place while you tighten the locking nut to keep it from moving and tightening up the gap.

      i think that one runs hotter. not 100% sure as i'm really just a rider. what i can say if you ride them hard in the eary stages...you'll certainly know when it happens
      my score so far 2 inlet valves on 2 bikes and again riding hard 4 power losses on 4 other new bikes
      the other power lose version goes like this.if one rides the same hills on every bike. one gets a very good idea how it pulls and runs. then you decide to push them harder and faster and suddenly out of the blue it misfires/coughs and you drop power immediately...but not much.
      next day you ride the same hills and on the test hill you have to drop down one gear just to clear the rise.
      too late damage done and that bike will never be as good prior to the early days. say if some-one else gets on and rides it. they wont pick the difference and will have no idea its lost power.
      this is where owning 15 of them new comes into play. so best idea cash em cheap and buy again.
      in those days i was making huge $$$ breeding birds so buying a new enfield every few months was just play money.
      breed 6 birds buy a bike-sell bike buy another.......lol that easy and not only just bikes.
      so treat the bike well in its early life and you'll be much happier in its later life.
      some-times they crap out early and in other bikes not till it hits several thousand klm but if i bought used -i would never touch a used bike with sports exaust because i know from first hand experiece -one you put it on the game changes and throttle gets a workout

    Hello ,cracking vid,had the gt535 for about a year put about 3 thousands miles on it ,really enjoyed most of them miles but I think the bike was spoilt by a hitch cocks nose fairing and the handlebars under the top yoke it looked the business but the vibration was hideous at times,I now have a Suzuki 250 v-strom which is a awesome bike but I really miss the sound of the single cylinder and I really like the marsh grey colours but not sure if the 350 will be a lot slower than the gt535,cheers again neil 👀

    • @ridewithwarro
      @ridewithwarro  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yeah i had a 535gt myself back in 014. ordered one in on the first shipment. i didn't go that much on the riding position as hard on the wrists.
      had a very nice gearchange though. i also think it was put together better than any classic 500 i owned and there were many...lol
      the 350 is a good ride and thats why i bought two. on flat running it would stay within range of a 500 on a legal cruise but would lose out on the hill climbs.
      so 60 mph/100 kph is a pretty easy run for it and i'd say would cruise at that speed for hours on end.
      thats out limit here or where i live.
      two things im happy with. i was the first to add the heel and toe to the import models and this is by far best mod and two running 500 rear shocks.
      this green doesnt ride anywhere near as good the blue i fitted the 500 shocks too
