In the old days you were just check the oil. Check the air pressure in the tires. See how much gas you have in the tank. Then you switch the key on kick start the bike and you're on your way. Oh the Royal Enfield 350 single is a simple bike bullshit it's like everything nowadays.
By modern standards the Classic 350 is a very simple bike, easy to work on, service and repair. Now would I like to go back to setting points and ignition timing, adjusting carburettors ………………. 🤔 Hope you enjoyed my video 👍😁
I had a similar problem with my Classic 350, I’d left the engine running and the oil temperature had exceeded it’s max recommended temperature, giving an engine malfunction light. Living on Lewis and my nearest dealer being in Aberdeen that was inconvenient to say the least so I bought a similar tool from Hitchcocks. Really easy to use and it was able to diagnose and clear the fault in seconds. Excellent tools!
Did you phone the dealer in Dundee? I was in the Dundee dealer back in July or August and overheard a phone conversation from an owner from the islands with this program. They suggested that he could contact the Enfield breakdown service and have the bike transported to Aberdeen or Glasgow. An excellent reason for buying this tool. Hope you’re enjoying watching my videos, ride safe 🧽
My fuel x unit packed up after one year. Whatever my warning lamp came on. Bought one of these and found the O2 sensor faulty. Removed and it was black as hell. Cleaned with carb cleaner and all fine for a few miles, then same again. Cleaned and removed fuel x. No problems since.
That’s interesting, this is the first problem I’ve heard of with the FuelX unit, thanks for the info. Good to know that the diagnostic device detected the issue and you were able to resolve the problem. I no longer have the FuelX on my bike. I removed the free flow exhaust as it was far too noisy for my liking and removed the FuelX at the same time.
Excellent video! even though I no longer own a Classic 350 I hope to test the Hunter 350 in the Spring. Let’s hope they have the updated software when delivered to dealers.
Very interesting and informative yet again, thank you. If your bike was not under warranty I bet the dealer would charge more to clear the code than your unit cost. Regards Edward.
Thanks for providing a great tip on dealing with a common problem. I've been coveting a Classic 350 to have along with my Himalayan. It would be perfect for riding around the back roads of Central Pennsylvania. Your red chrome version is one of my favorites among a lot of beautiful color choices.
Brilliant,Thank You. Subscribed a little while ago and enjoying your content. I had saved this video ‘just in case’. Well last week it happened the engine light on my meteor illuminated, thus I came back to this video ordered the exact same reader, code P0196 displayed, apparently quite common according to the forum’s. Now cleared and riding safe in the knowledge I am doing no damage. Once again thank you so much.😊
Hi Mark, great to hear that my video has been useful to you 👍 It’s a handy bit of kit to have in the toolbox, I’ve also used mine on my Triumph Bonneville to read and clear fault codes by removing the Euro 5 adapter.
@@tigerness5555 Great minds and all that 😀 I also have a Bonneville and once the Meteor was ‘ All Clear’ tried it on the Bonnie with adapter off. Very pleased with this bit of kit, once again thanks for producing your content, probably going to take both for a ride today once the frost clears down south, guessing it is a little colder in Bonnie Scotland.
I’ve had mine for almost a year and covered over 3,000 miles. I’ve not had a single issue whatsoever, great engine and bike. Great to hear that you enjoyed my video 😁👍
Great video - I had a sense that you had setup the "fault" but that's a great way to show how it works! Just as an FYI, you can buy bluetooth and/or WiFi OBD 2 readers that plug into most vehicles since ~1996 I believe. With an app on the phone, you can do all that and way more. I always check everything out before I take trips or someone borrows the car. Fantastic, and very inexpensive! Ride Safe 🙏🏼
Great to hear that you enjoyed the video 🏍️👍 The fault reader I have as well as having the red euro 5 connector also has a standard OBD2 connector. I’ve used in on my Triumph Bonneville using OBD2.
I had the same problem with mine at about 300 miles, the dealer re-set the code and it's been fine since ( another 1500 miles) they said that there was a similar problem with the Meteor, and that there was a new firmware upgrade that solved the problem, which apparently is just that the settings are far too strictly set for the European models. At the time they were waiting for the Classic 350 firmware up grade. As I've had no further problems I haven't bothered to get it re-programmed. I think mine might have been caused by ticking the engine over in a small shed where it was breathing in its own exhaust fumes, cured that problem now by fitting a heatproof rubber pipe which fits on the silencer and goes through the back of the shed. ....Ride safe 🦄
Good video! I almost bought one of those bikes but ended up with a 1961 AJS instead. No problem with codes there, when something goes wrong, it might not tell you or you have to figure it out yourself. I can see how one of those gizmos will be handy.
Great video. I’ve got a meteor 350 & recently had the management light come on straight after it’s service. Took it to the dealer, who erased it. Next day, early morning 6 degrees C , came on again. OBD reader seems the way to go.
Brilliant video, I'll be ordering one as I have the eml light on. Bizzarly mine came on, I left the bike for over a week as it was bad weather, when I went back to it the light was off as if it reset itself but soon after it has come back on, so I need this tool.
Outstanding presentation. I don't feel Verarscht (German) at all. It made the point very well. Having just bought a Meteor this would seem a "must have" tool. Keep up the great work.
If you watch the video again you will see the eBay details of where I bought it from. The Euro 5 adapter came with the meter. Great to hear that you enjoyed my video 🏍👍
Awesome video. I own two RE 350's. A classic and a Meteor and wasn't aware they were equipped with that ability to download the codes. I have a code reader and will try that out. Thank you 😁👍
I really wish RE placed a small analog clock where the RE emblem is. The old instrument console also had white dials for the speedometer and tachometer.
If you watch the video again it shows the eBay seller I purchased mine from. You can also get one from Hitchcocks. Hope this helps and you enjoy my video 👍
Yes this will clear the fault code, but the idea behind the code reader is to find the cause of the fault in the first place. Hope you enjoyed my video 👍
Thanks for the tip… I do like the Royal Enfeild 350 Classic but I gotta ask are those fenders and side covers plastic?? I have a Triumph Street Twin and I think there is way too much plastic on the bike. Bit of an old school biker….
Hi Ross, The fenders and side covers are good old fashioned Royal Enfield metal, very little plastic used on this bike. Great to hear that you enjoyed the video 🏍️👍
Well, I have a Mutt Hilts 125cc. Had it 3 months. Been at the dealership for 1 of them. Brand new in August. Engine fault symbol kept coming on. Various issues. Pain in the backside. Still, I passed my motorcycle theory and hazard perception test yesterday. Hopefully taking lessons in the new year. My dream bike is the 350 classic. Just works of art! Can't wait! 👍
The Classic 350 is a fabulous bike, mine has been totally reliable since I got it. Good luck with the rest of your rider training, like many you could be at the start of a life long love affair with bikes 🏍👍
I cannot find ad OBD connector that looks like the one on your bike. I can only find a black 6 pin female connector with 5 wires connected. My bike is a 2022 350 classic. Do I need a different connector ?
My bike is a 2022 UK specification Euro 5 model. The red connection is behind the right hand cover beside the battery. Hitchcocks do a meter and have some information along with it. Hope this helps. accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/47731?cont_page=information-and-services/Royal-Enfield-350-Classic-Accessories
Just thought i would pass my experience on to you and your subscribers. i was captivated by the reviews and simplicity of the RE Himalayan had a test ride on one last June and was really surprised. You can easily flat foot it and its road presence is larger than you think, it is under powered but we have a lot of country winding roads and a lot of easy green lanes near us. Its no Honda but gives you more confidence on gravel roads because if you drop it you won’t damage anything its built like a tractor. I swapped the CB500X for a 2022 second hand Himmy with all the bells and whistles metal panniers, engine Guards, with only 147 miles on the clock. At 300 miles i decided to change the oil and filter as suggested in the service schedule made sure i took it easy for the first thousand miles. I went to north Wales with my two sons for a three day tour every time we stopped for a break or get petrol the bike would not start first or second time but would start eventually. After some research on you tube it was suggested a faulty relay switch so i replaced them all and the problem was fixed. The first week in January on the first dry day i went for a spin, about three miles from home i was going uphill at 50mph and the engine just died it would turn over but not start so i let it cool down turn round and head down the hill to bump start it, It did go and got me home but was making a horrible rattling noise. I got in touch with royal enfield they picked it up and took it to the nearest dealer to me. They got in touch on Monday its got to have a top engine rebuild camshaft new barrell and piston total cost £895.00, so for a bike that is only 9 months old and covered 2000 miles is a lot of money. Royal enfield won’t cover the cost because i did the first oil and filter change thereby invalidating the two year warranty. Foot note ... I passed my bike test in 1972 on a Honda S90 Sport and since then have had many bikes i am no mechanic but have always changed the oil and filter on my bikes at three or four thousand miles in my mind i thought it would prolong the life of the bike. So to sum up if anybody is interested in a second hand R E Himmy please make sure it has got RE approved service history for the first at least the first two years. All the best Bob,
Sorry to hear about your misfortune with your bike. It sounds to me like one or both of the tappet adjusters were either too tight or have slackened off somehow resulting in the damage. Definitely not something you would expect from a bike with such low mileage. It does seem that some dealers will honour warranty claims so long as you can prove that you have used genuine RE parts and followed the RE maintenance schedule. If it was my bike I would strip the engine and determine what was needed and rebuild the engine. I’ve no great faith in dealerships. Hope it all works out for you in the end.
Thanks for your reply it is much appreciated, When the mechanic stripped the engine he said that the spring in the camshaft key faltered so a new camshaft was fitted but when he started the bike up the engine filled the workshop with smoke. He removed the head and barrel the piston was scored a new barrel was ordered from Hitchcock's, because of the engine rebuild it needed another oil and filter change after 300 miles, costing another £60. this was to ensure a years warranty on the work Total cost now at £926.36. Royal enfield customer services wanted to know the registration, engine number and who supplied the bike this was given to them on the 8 of June with all my contact details and to date still no reply Now another problem has arisen, the suspension is making an awful creaking sound or could be the swing arm seizing up. To say i am disappointed would be putting it lightly, i feel that i have wasted money on a bike i had planned to use during my years of retirement. Instead its spent 6 months of my 12 month ownership in and out of garages. The bike has never seen a gravel driveway let alone a green lane, all recommended servicing advice was adhered to and the bike was run in gently . its such a shame because when the bike is running right it is really good fun and ideal for what i wanted just bimbleing around the country lanes. perhaps a classic 350 would be more reliable no bad reviews so far. Cheers.
What a terrible experience you had there. I am wondering who had the bike for those first 147 miles and how it was treated. However, the damage has been extensive and it would seem that it has been far worse than would be expected. Sounds like a lubrication failure to me. If you used the correct grade of oil and the filter was properly installed possibly an oil pump failure. I have the feeling that the filter must go in one way around and not the other way. Is a mistake of that kind a possibility? Just guessing here - but perhaps that could lead to oil starvation. This would impact camshaft and bores first probably, which sounds like what has happened. @@bobstersbike
that engine light fault is a legit fault on some bikes, I had it come up, and was advised by an Indian TH-camr to have the key off then twist the throttle onto full and hold it there, then turn the ignition key on then release the throttle and turn the key back off again. When I started the bike the fault was gone. have had to use that fix twice now and works well.
My scanner in for a Euro 5 bike, if yours is also Euro 5 and has the red diagnostic port then yes it will work. Check out Hitchcocks or eBay for a suitable scanner for your bike. Great to hear that you enjoyed my video 👍
Not sure who made my scanner, I purchased mine from eBay. I did a search on eBay just now and this looks the same as the one I have. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284525345984?hash=item423f083cc0:g:2WIAAOSwXmNhjXB4&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8HyvZLQQW%2BY1AwhFfd3ckjtBOAYMI6Z6FTZ2xCBkFGEUwa51FHG61WoEuJIJJ8Ggm0GG9Pe7tlnxw%2B53b%2FPGHswXvuHviPy6Ie5xeXcqmsGWaHwltTbbjkwlfY6KE2Nz%2BdkFgsr0ukfaf%2BOWj%2FmdrLE0DyBPoG6M%2FnFlS9ani1lFNg8YZ33zz5502dl%2Bg6ho7tqgBkp4wR%2FBHzHL0ugzXjub3niPyOxJbJFgpvkpfPmZfrveFuc5KUak7oq1iJWau6WhLcm6lU6P%2F9yUKfAgLDnfJPO7q4n2vBP5dlakm7uo2YiUB2k7J1nBLa5XmXrhJQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMvtHU7-Zi You can also purchase one from Hitchcocks, hope this answers your question and you found my video helpful 👍
Hi K, I just did the full 1,500 miles break in period as per the handbook. It was a rather boring experience but my bike now performs great and has been trouble free for over 3,000 miles now. Hope you enjoyed my video 😁👍
Royal enfield motorcycles are easy to diagnose issues and easy to do self maintenance as is already. I myself found learning to maintain chrome finishes, oil changes, and chain lubrication enjoyable as part of the experience as a motorcycle owner. I would only go to dealer if there is a recall.
My nearest dealer is 150 miles away, this is the main reason that I have not bought a Classic 350. I wish RE would have service agents for areas such as mine; I cannot figure out why they do not.
Would it be possible for you to provide here the actual URL (link) for that scanner? Searching by the seller's name does not turn up that specific unit you have. Thanks.
Simply search eBay for “Royal Enfield 350 2021- Onwards Compatible OBD FI Scanner” and quite a few come up. Alternatively you could get one from Hitchcocks at this link: accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/47731?cont_page=Royal-Enfield-350-Classic-Accessories Hope this helps and you found my video useful 😂🤞
@@tigerness5555 Thanks very much. Glad you provided the Hitchcocks link. Done business with them before and always fast, reliable service. Your video was quite informative for this EFI/ECU numpty. Would really rather deal with carbs!
Had same problem on mine , ran perfect with the light on , took it for a run, got it warmed up , turned off and restarted it and it’s been fine ever since
@@tigerness5555 In india , we prefer more mileage than power . Old model provide mileage around 50 Kmpl while cursing but also with additional gift of vibration . New engine was vice versa of that 😭
Unfortunately it can’t reset the service light. But it’s an easy job, just follow the sequence in this TH-cam video I found. It worked for me 😁 Hope you enjoyed the video 🏍️👍 th-cam.com/video/RnFjdzyYas8/w-d-xo.html
i have a 2022 classic350 stealth black, i had the same issue, however it sorted itself out, after giving the bike a days rest it hasnt come back on and that was 3 months ago
Hope you enjoyed my video and found it useful. There wasn’t actually anything wrong with my bike, the video was to show how to rectify a fault on the bike should it occur. Hope your enjoying your Classic 350, great little bikes 🏍️👍
i had the warning light come on just after the warranty expired on my 125, so went to the stealership, and it was an oxygen sensor issue too. all they did was clear the code and tell me to come back if the problem re-appeared, charging me £40 or so. a year later it still hasnt and no issues. i looked online and you can get a bluetooth obd connector and use it with a phone app, which is what i'll do the next time. these gadgets can also be used with your car, so well worth it, if not for any other reason than to know there's no major issues and you can still use the vehicle without worry that you will damage the engine if it's a minor issue and you can still drive it. GL
Great to hear that you enjoyed the video and hopefully found it helpful. Yes the meters do come in handy from time to time, well worth the investment 👍
Hope you enjoyed watching my video 👍 You can’t erase the service spanner warning with this tool. There are lots of videos on TH-cam showing how to do this simply by using the Trip2 function.
Great video. Of course every motorized piece of equipment (except for my chain saw) that I own at this time has a diagnostic port, and I've been thinking about buying one of those readers. I think you've convinced me. By the way, that's an absolutely palatial garage you have! If mine looked that nice I think I'd move my Lay-Z-Boy recliner in there!
I would like to ask you, have you tried to look at the color of the spark plug which should be hazelnut in color to indicate a correct air-fuel mixture? in my case it is very light almost white and means too lean a blend. how to solve ?
This was only a demonstration of the ODB tool, I don’t have any problems with my bike, it’s running perfectly. Hope you enjoyed my little video and found it useful 🏍👍
Hi Giuse Yes I’ve looked at my spark plug and the colour is correct on my bike. These bikes run very lean mainly due to strict Euro5 regulations. If you’re bike is running too lean the first question to ask is have you made any modifications to the inlet or exhaust. If you have perhaps fitting a FuelX may rectify the fuelling issue. Hope this helps and you found it helpful.
Sorry that I’m not able to help. I don’t know what differences there are between UK and US bikes. Presumably US bikes do not have to comply with Euro 5 regulations. Hope you enjoyed my video and found it useful 👍
I own a $37,000 Harley and I wish my problem was so simple. My Harley has a recall that needs to be repaired. The brake lights won't go out. The dealer has to replace the rear master cylinder and the brake light switch. They say it will take two hours for the repair. So that's a one hour trip to the dealership, a two hour repair, and a one hour trip back home. In the old days I could just adjust the swutch and the problem would be repaired. But Harley, now a days have made it almost impossible for the home mechanic to do much more than an oil change on their newer machines. If it were not for my wife's serious health issues making us go to a trike, I'd never own another Harley. I like the RE 350 Classic. Now that is a great back road macine, one you can enjoy every ride. Thanks for the video.
Hi Gene, There’s a lot to be said for having a simple bike that’s easy to work on, the wee Enfield is definitely one of them. My Triumph 900 GT Pro is bursting with electronics and is way more complicated. So far it’s been trouble free, long may that continue. I hate the hassle of having to go to the dealership for repairs. Hope you’re Harley stays reliable and gives you many more miles of enjoyment. Great to hear that you enjoyed my video 👍
@@tigerness5555 I'm fed up with Harley so I might buy a Can Am next. We must stay with a trike due to my wife's many health issues. She has battled cancer eight times, had twelve surguries in ten years, maxed out on Chemo, radiation and cyber knife treatments. She is currently on Immunotherapy treatments and will be every 28 days for the rest of her life. We went to a trike when the cancer in her brain caused her to have seizures. Our thought was if she had a seizure while we were on a two wheeled machine it might cause an accident injuring both of us and possibly others. We think if she were to have a seizure on a three wheeled machine I should be able to pull over and tend to her needs. Three wheeled machines are not near the fun or enjoyment of a two wheeled machine, but at least we are still out in the wind attempting to enjoy the day. Ride safe and enjoy every journey.
I had a similar issue with a Dacia. The car was only a few days old when the engine went into emergency mode. Called the breakdown service, and the guy detected a piece of code he didn't recognise. He deleted it and the car hasn't missed a beat in the 5 years since. That code reader is next on my shopping list.
Has anyone had this problem with a de-cated pipe? I've considered removing the CC and adding the DNA filter and intake plate. If anyone has made these simple performance mods please let me know if something happened or nothing happened. Thanks
I have a 2022 Classic 350 - I installed the DNA filter and new cover, the Hitchcock decat pipe and then the fuel x lite module. I did all 3 sequentially - no error codes as I worked through the installs and I have almost 300 miles on the bike now. I also added the Hitchcock 16 tooth front sprocket. Upon each install I noticed improved engine performance and now with all 4 mods installed the bike’s performance is definitely better than stock. Runs smoother, better exhaust note, better acceleration, and 5th gear now feels like a 6th. Highly recommend these mods. Ride safe! 😊
@@tigerness5555 Yes indeed! Appreciate all your videos and followed them while making the mods to my bike. Very helpful and well done!! Thx from Ohio USA. 😎
I had this with my Meteor. It’s common, the oil temperature parameters are set too narrow. Cold oil causes it to think there is an engine issue. Royal Enfield are well aware and are working on an ECU update for this engine
I had to change charging unit, stand sensor, all relays on my interceptor 2021 model in the first six months. Totally, my motercycle was in the service center for a month in first six months. They have to put better parts in these new models.
I’ve heard of many owners having issues, especially with relays. So far I’ve been lucky, not had a single problem with my Classic 350. Hope you enjoyed my video 👍
Hi Roman Sorry to hear that your having a potential problem with your bike. It’s very difficult to say what the problem actually is from your explanation but it may be: Exhaust and / or inlet valves require adjustment. Cam chain adjuster defective. Worn cam chain. Low octane fuel used. This can cause pinking under load (pre ignition) a rattling sound. An air leak from the inlet or exhaust manifolds. I very much doubt that the oil is the issue. I would suggest you take the bike to an experienced motorcycle mechanic. Hope this helps
Surprisingly enough my 2012 Kymco LIke 200i has a built in diagnostic computer. A red light comes on for 3 seconds and if there is a problem it gives a series of dot and dashes and those can be found in the shop manual, there are 26 codes. The manual gives you the component that is most likely the cause. The 2012 is the one and only year that has the feature , all other years need a code reader similar to the one that you used. Or has to be read with the dealer reader that is only available to the dealer. So far no codes and has run perfect all these years. All machines should have this feature.
Thanks for the Kymco info, very interesting which sounds like a brilliant idea. The dealers won’t like it though, they want you to come in and let them fix it for lots of money. Hope you enjoyed my video 🏍️👍
Hope you enjoyed my little video 🏍👍 It’s a useful inexpensive tool to have. I used it the other day to clear a fault on the Bonneville, by removing the Euro 5 adapter. Worked great and so quick.
I love older bikes as well, I’ve had many. But you have to move forward, it’s brilliant to be able to plug in a diagnostic tool and interrogate the data, can save so much time. Hope you enjoyed my video 👍
Thank you, hope you enjoyed my little video 🏍👍 The idea is to try and encourage other owners to work on their own bikes and not to be so reliant on dealers.
So many here report the same problem. There was no problem with TN’s bike; he deliberately disconnected the sensor to test the device. If the 350 turns out to be reliable it’s another gadget for the drawer but if there is a real problem, how many here have the skill set to fix it? If not, still another gadget for the drawer?
Hope you enjoyed my little video and found it useful 🏍👍 Most people don’t watch TH-cam videos to the end so won’t have seen that it was only a demonstration of the tool.
clever but it did make me nervous , i just placed a deposit on my own 2022 halcyon green classic 350 , i’m glad i watched though to see my mind , my first thought was , oh no did I make a mistake going for a royal enfield? everything i’ve ever heard is they are really good bikes
Great to hear that you enjoyed my video 👍 These bikes are proving to be very reliable. I’ve done over 3,000 miles on mine and not had any issues whatsoever. They’re also one of the simplest bikes to service yourself if like me you hate going to the dealers. It’s a fantastic bike, I’ve sure you’re going to love your Classic 350 🏍️😁
I’m not sure I understand the ‘clear code’ section of your demo. In a real life scenario, how could you be sure you’ve fixed all faults and there isn’t a second issue the EMU is picking up that may have triggered the first?
If you have found and rectified a fault detected by the scanner, you then need to clear the fault code from the ecu. If a second fault is detected which has not been rectified then the scanner will detect this when the engine is restarted. Only when all faults have been detected and rectified will the scanner give a clear reading on restarting the engine. Hope this makes sense to you and that you found my video useful 🏍️👍
No that’s not necessary, clearing the fault code will not change any ECU settings. Also the correct method of re-calibrating the ECU is the following. Step 1 - Check that the oil temperature is less than 40 degrees c (a cold engine) Step 2 - Start the engine and allow to idle until the oil temperature reaches 115 degrees c (this is approximately 30 minutes) Do not touch the throttle. Step 3 - Turn off the engine and DO NOT START FOR 30 SECONDS. This is from the Royal Enfield Service Manual. Hope this helps 👍
Je ne maîtrise pas l'anglais, et j'ai compris cette belle petite machine présente des soucis de surchauffe ? Ça m'ennuie un peu j'aurais aimé pouvoir acheter cette jolie moto. Bien à vous cordialement.
Hi Fantomas, That’s the first time I’ve heated anything about overheating problems with this brilliant little engine. My bike has been totally trouble free ever since I received it, it’s now done over 3,000 miles. Perhaps it depends on the country you live in, it never gets too hot in Scotland 😂. Then again in India where they’re made it can get very hot. Hope you enjoyed my video 👍
@@tigerness5555 Bonjour, merci j'ai acheté cette magnifique machine et j'en suis très heureux. Je vis dans les hauts de France non loin de Béthune/Arras et environ 45 kilomètres de Lille. Merci d'avoir répondu, désolé d'avoir été tardif dans mon retour. Bien à toi ✌️ Il ne fait pas très chaud dans les hauts de France 😂
O2 sensor faults will be the scam of the decade. The problem is they are so cheaply made and people do not get the engine up to full running temperature. The challenge here is that for an mot, you cannot pass the mot with the error shown. They are relatively expensive to replace and this is the con. Very sad really
Surprisingly for a motor cycle in the UK, the tester does not take any notice of the engine fault light because so far at least, motorbikes are not tested for emissions. My Triumph Street Twin had an oxygen sensor fault and I spoke to my very experienced tester about it and he told me that on a bike, this is not tested. On cars of course it is. My bike passed two tests with the oxygen fault causing an engine fault light to show on the instrument cluster.
In the old days you were just check the oil. Check the air pressure in the tires. See how much gas you have in the tank. Then you switch the key on kick start the bike and you're on your way. Oh the Royal Enfield 350 single is a simple bike bullshit it's like everything nowadays.
By modern standards the Classic 350 is a very simple bike, easy to work on, service and repair.
Now would I like to go back to setting points and ignition timing, adjusting carburettors ………………. 🤔
Hope you enjoyed my video 👍😁
I had a similar problem with my Classic 350, I’d left the engine running and the oil temperature had exceeded it’s max recommended temperature, giving an engine malfunction light. Living on Lewis and my nearest dealer being in Aberdeen that was inconvenient to say the least so I bought a similar tool from Hitchcocks. Really easy to use and it was able to diagnose and clear the fault in seconds. Excellent tools!
Did you phone the dealer in Dundee?
I was in the Dundee dealer back in July or August and overheard a phone conversation from an owner from the islands with this program. They suggested that he could contact the Enfield breakdown service and have the bike transported to Aberdeen or Glasgow.
An excellent reason for buying this tool. Hope you’re enjoying watching my videos, ride safe 🧽
No, I bought it from Ecosse in Aberdeen, just a bit closer than Dundee for me!
Had a lot of hassle with oxygen sensor on car after cat theft. These little box’s are a god send. Wish I had a lovely workshop like yours 👍 nice vid.

My fuel x unit packed up after one year. Whatever my warning lamp came on. Bought one of these and found the O2 sensor faulty. Removed and it was black as hell. Cleaned with carb cleaner and all fine for a few miles, then same again. Cleaned and removed fuel x. No problems since.
That’s interesting, this is the first problem I’ve heard of with the FuelX unit, thanks for the info. Good to know that the diagnostic device detected the issue and you were able to resolve the problem.
I no longer have the FuelX on my bike. I removed the free flow exhaust as it was far too noisy for my liking and removed the FuelX at the same time.
Excellent video! even though I no longer own a Classic 350 I hope to test the Hunter 350 in the Spring. Let’s hope they have the updated software when delivered to dealers.

Thanks for providing a great tip on dealing with a common problem. I've been coveting a Classic 350 to have along with my Himalayan. It would be perfect for riding around the back roads of Central Pennsylvania. Your red chrome version is one of my favorites among a lot of beautiful color choices.
Great to hear that you enjoyed my video. The Classic 350 is a fabulous little bike, as you say it’s perfect for quiet back roads 🏍👍
good to see u here too i love your vespa and himlayan ride videos.
Brilliant,Thank You. Subscribed a little while ago and enjoying your content. I had saved this video ‘just in case’. Well last week it happened the engine light on my meteor illuminated, thus I came back to this video ordered the exact same reader, code P0196 displayed, apparently quite common according to the forum’s. Now cleared and riding safe in the knowledge I am doing no damage. Once again thank you so much.😊
Hi Mark, great to hear that my video has been useful to you 👍
It’s a handy bit of kit to have in the toolbox, I’ve also used mine on my Triumph Bonneville to read and clear fault codes by removing the Euro 5 adapter.
@@tigerness5555 Great minds and all that 😀 I also have a Bonneville and once the Meteor was ‘ All Clear’ tried it on the Bonnie with adapter off. Very pleased with this bit of kit, once again thanks for producing your content, probably going to take both for a ride today once the frost clears down south, guessing it is a little colder in Bonnie Scotland.
Well done, you!
It is good to know that your diagnostics work.
Great to hear that you enjoyed the video and hopefully found it helpful 👍
it’s good to hear , you are one of many i have seen on youtube who rave about RE dependability
I’ve had mine for almost a year and covered over 3,000 miles. I’ve not had a single issue whatsoever, great engine and bike. Great to hear that you enjoyed my video 😁👍
Great video - I had a sense that you had setup the "fault" but that's a great way to show how it works!
Just as an FYI, you can buy bluetooth and/or WiFi OBD 2 readers that plug into most vehicles since ~1996 I believe. With an app on the phone, you can do all that and way more. I always check everything out before I take trips or someone borrows the car. Fantastic, and very inexpensive!
Ride Safe 🙏🏼
Thank you, great to hear that you enjoyed my video 🏍👍
Very informative! Thank you sir! I noticed recently even our local Aldi sells these for €20 so price shouldn't be an issue.
Great to hear that you enjoyed my video 👍
The Aldi tester is fine but it doesn’t have the Euro 5 adapter that is needed to fit the Classic 350.
Informative video,thanks.....would you need a separate reader for a different bike? i.e. One for each bike you own?
Great to hear that you enjoyed the video 🏍️👍
The fault reader I have as well as having the red euro 5 connector also has a standard OBD2 connector. I’ve used in on my Triumph Bonneville using OBD2.
I had the same problem with mine at about 300 miles, the dealer re-set the code and it's been fine since ( another 1500 miles) they said that there was a similar problem with the Meteor, and that there was a new firmware upgrade that solved the problem, which apparently is just that the settings are far too strictly set for the European models.
At the time they were waiting for the Classic 350 firmware up grade.
As I've had no further problems I haven't bothered to get it re-programmed.
I think mine might have been caused by ticking the engine over in a small shed where it was breathing in its own exhaust fumes, cured that problem now by fitting a heatproof rubber pipe which fits on the silencer and goes through the back of the shed. ....Ride safe 🦄
My bikes running perfectly, this was only a demonstration of the tool.
Hope you enjoyed the video and found it useful 🏍👍
Good video! I almost bought one of those bikes but ended up with a 1961 AJS instead. No problem with codes there, when something goes wrong, it might not tell you or you have to figure it out yourself. I can see how one of those gizmos will be handy.
Great to hear that you enjoyed my video 👍
Great video. I’ve got a meteor 350 & recently had the management light come on straight after it’s service. Took it to the dealer, who erased it. Next day, early morning 6 degrees C , came on again. OBD reader seems the way to go.

Brilliant video, I'll be ordering one as I have the eml light on. Bizzarly mine came on, I left the bike for over a week as it was bad weather, when I went back to it the light was off as if it reset itself but soon after it has come back on, so I need this tool.

Would be nice if you'd leave a link to the cable you're using to connect to the bike. So many cables on amazon, hard to find the correct one

Outstanding presentation. I don't feel Verarscht (German) at all.
It made the point very well.
Having just bought a Meteor this would seem a "must have" tool. Keep up the great work.

Great to hear that you’ve enjoyed my video and found it helpful 👍
I really wish RE placed a small analog clock where the RE emblem is. The old instrument console also had white dials for the speedometer and tachometer.
There’s a digital clock in the LCD display which works very well.
The space where the emblem is for the Tripper navigation unit.
Very helpful, just ordered one of these readers. Gone up a little in price. But that’s to be expected.😊
All part of the service Mark 🤣
Very useful tool to have.
Can you post a link as to where you got the OBD 2 reader please
If you watch the video again it shows the eBay seller I purchased mine from. You can also get one from Hitchcocks.
Hope this helps and you enjoy my video 👍
In many cases,if you have fixed the fault,disconnecting the battery for a short while then re connecting should clear the fault code.
Yes this will clear the fault code, but the idea behind the code reader is to find the cause of the fault in the first place.
Hope you enjoyed my video 👍
Thanks for the tip… I do like the Royal Enfeild 350 Classic but I gotta ask are those fenders and side covers plastic?? I have a Triumph Street Twin and I think there is way too much plastic on the bike. Bit of an old school biker….
Hi Ross, The fenders and side covers are good old fashioned Royal Enfield metal, very little plastic used on this bike.

Well, I have a Mutt Hilts 125cc. Had it 3 months. Been at the dealership for 1 of them. Brand new in August. Engine fault symbol kept coming on. Various issues. Pain in the backside. Still, I passed my motorcycle theory and hazard perception test yesterday. Hopefully taking lessons in the new year. My dream bike is the 350 classic. Just works of art! Can't wait! 👍
The Classic 350 is a fabulous bike, mine has been totally reliable since I got it. Good luck with the rest of your rider training, like many you could be at the start of a life long love affair with bikes 🏍👍
@@tigerness5555 I think you may be right!
I cannot find ad OBD connector that looks like the one on your bike. I can only find a black 6 pin female connector with 5 wires connected. My bike is a 2022 350 classic. Do I need a different connector ?
My bike is a 2022 UK specification Euro 5 model. The red connection is behind the right hand cover beside the battery.
Hitchcocks do a meter and have some information along with it. Hope this helps.

Just thought i would pass my experience on to you and your subscribers.
i was captivated by the reviews and simplicity of the RE Himalayan had a test ride on one last June and was really surprised. You can easily flat foot it and its road presence is larger than you think, it is under powered but we have a lot of country winding roads and a lot of easy green lanes near us.
Its no Honda but gives you more confidence on gravel roads because if you drop it you won’t damage anything its built like a tractor. I swapped the CB500X for a 2022 second hand Himmy with all the bells and whistles metal panniers, engine Guards, with only 147 miles on the clock. At 300 miles i decided to change the oil and filter as suggested in the service schedule made sure i took it easy for the first thousand miles. I went to north Wales with my two sons for a three day tour every time we stopped for a break or get petrol the bike would not start first or second time but would start eventually. After some research on you tube it was suggested a faulty relay switch so i replaced them all and the problem was fixed. The first week in January on the first dry day i went for a spin, about three miles from home i was going uphill at 50mph and the engine just died it would turn over but not start so i let it cool down turn round and head down the hill to bump start it, It did go and got me home but was making a horrible rattling noise. I got in touch with royal enfield they picked it up and took it to the nearest dealer to me. They got in touch on Monday its got to have a top engine rebuild camshaft new barrell and piston total cost £895.00, so for a bike that is only 9 months old and covered 2000 miles is a lot of money. Royal enfield won’t cover the cost because i did the first oil and filter change thereby invalidating the two year warranty.
Foot note ... I passed my bike test in 1972 on a Honda S90 Sport and since then have had many bikes i am no mechanic but have always changed the oil and filter on my bikes at three or four thousand miles in my mind i thought it would prolong the life of the bike. So to sum up if anybody is interested in a second hand R E Himmy please make sure it has got RE approved service history for the first at least the first two years.
All the best Bob,
Sorry to hear about your misfortune with your bike. It sounds to me like one or both of the tappet adjusters were either too tight or have slackened off somehow resulting in the damage. Definitely not something you would expect from a bike with such low mileage. It does seem that some dealers will honour warranty claims so long as you can prove that you have used genuine RE parts and followed the RE maintenance schedule. If it was my bike I would strip the engine and determine what was needed and rebuild the engine. I’ve no great faith in dealerships. Hope it all works out for you in the end.
Thanks for your reply it is much appreciated,
When the mechanic stripped the engine he said that the spring in the camshaft key faltered so a new camshaft was fitted but when he started the bike up the engine filled the workshop with smoke. He removed the head and barrel the piston was scored a new barrel was ordered from Hitchcock's, because of the engine rebuild it needed another oil and filter change after 300 miles, costing another £60. this was to ensure a years warranty on the work Total cost now at £926.36. Royal enfield customer services wanted to know the registration, engine number and who supplied the bike this was given to them on the 8 of June with all my contact details and to date still no reply
Now another problem has arisen, the suspension is making an awful creaking sound or could be the swing arm seizing up. To say i am disappointed would be putting it lightly, i feel that i have wasted money on a bike i had planned to use during my years of retirement. Instead its spent 6 months of my 12 month ownership in and out of garages. The bike has never seen a gravel driveway let alone a green lane, all recommended servicing advice was adhered to and the bike was run in gently .
its such a shame because when the bike is running right it is really good fun and ideal for what i wanted just bimbleing around the country lanes.
perhaps a classic 350 would be more reliable no bad reviews so far. Cheers.
What a terrible experience you had there. I am wondering who had the bike for those first 147 miles and how it was treated. However, the damage has been extensive and it would seem that it has been far worse than would be expected. Sounds like a lubrication failure to me. If you used the correct grade of oil and the filter was properly installed possibly an oil pump failure. I have the feeling that the filter must go in one way around and not the other way. Is a mistake of that kind a possibility? Just guessing here - but perhaps that could lead to oil starvation. This would impact camshaft and bores first probably, which sounds like what has happened. @@bobstersbike
that engine light fault is a legit fault on some bikes, I had it come up, and was advised by an Indian TH-camr to have the key off then twist the throttle onto full and hold it there, then turn the ignition key on then release the throttle and turn the key back off again. When I started the bike the fault was gone. have had to use that fix twice now and works well.
Hope you enjoyed my video and thank you for your informative comments, very helpful 👍
Hi Tiger Ness. Very educational. I own a Himalayan. Is this scanner suitable for my bike as well ?
My scanner in for a Euro 5 bike, if yours is also Euro 5 and has the red diagnostic port then yes it will work. Check out Hitchcocks or eBay for a suitable scanner for your bike.

WHICH MODEL YEAR???? WHICH ENGINE OIL U USE? U GET SERVICE FROM OFFICIAL SERVICE CENTER?FOAM WASH OR SIMPLE WASH?
Royal Enfield Classic 350 Reborn, not changed the oil yet, will be servicing it myself and a simple wash 🧽
Royal enfield motorcycles are easy to diagnose issues and easy to do self maintenance as is already. I myself found learning to maintain chrome finishes, oil changes, and chain lubrication enjoyable as part of the experience as a motorcycle owner. I would only go to dealer if there is a recall.
Hope you enjoyed the video 🏍️👍
These bikes are so easy and fun to maintain yourself, like you I stay well away from the dealers 🤣
My nearest dealer is 150 miles away, this is the main reason that I have not bought a Classic 350.

i had the warning light come on just after the warranty expired on my 125, so went to the stealership, and it was an oxygen sensor issue too. all they did was clear the code and tell me to come back if the problem re-appeared, charging me £40 or so. a year later it still hasnt and no issues. i looked online and you can get a bluetooth obd connector and use it with a phone app, which is what i'll do the next time. these gadgets can also be used with your car, so well worth it, if not for any other reason than to know there's no major issues and you can still use the vehicle without worry that you will damage the engine if it's a minor issue and you can still drive it.

Hi Giuse
Yes I’ve looked at my spark plug and the colour is correct on my bike.
These bikes run very lean mainly due to strict Euro5 regulations.
If you’re bike is running too lean the first question to ask is have you made any modifications to the inlet or exhaust. If you have perhaps fitting a FuelX may rectify the fuelling issue.
Hope this helps and you found it helpful.
@@tigerness5555 thank you for your answer I have on my bike the red rooster exhaust and Fuelx lite

I clearly do not have this red connector on my Classic 350 (2023, US model). Could it be a different connector on US bikes??
I think I might have a Euro4 connector, which I can't find a cable or adapter for - will keep researching
Sorry that I’m not able to help. I don’t know what differences there are between UK and US bikes. Presumably US bikes do not have to comply with Euro 5 regulations.

I own a $37,000 Harley and I wish my problem was so simple. My Harley has a recall that needs to be repaired. The brake lights won't go out. The dealer has to replace the rear master cylinder and the brake light switch. They say it will take two hours for the repair. So that's a one hour trip to the dealership, a two hour repair, and a one hour trip back home. In the old days I could just adjust the swutch and the problem would be repaired. But Harley, now a days have made it almost impossible for the home mechanic to do much more than an oil change on their newer machines. If it were not for my wife's serious health issues making us go to a trike, I'd never own another Harley. I like the RE 350 Classic. Now that is a great back road macine, one you can enjoy every ride. Thanks for the video.
Hi Gene, There’s a lot to be said for having a simple bike that’s easy to work on, the wee Enfield is definitely one of them. My Triumph 900 GT Pro is bursting with electronics and is way more complicated. So far it’s been trouble free, long may that continue. I hate the hassle of having to go to the dealership for repairs.
Hope you’re Harley stays reliable and gives you many more miles of enjoyment.

@@tigerness5555 I'm fed up with Harley so I might buy a Can Am next. We must stay with a trike due to my wife's many health issues. She has battled cancer eight times, had twelve surguries in ten years, maxed out on Chemo, radiation and cyber knife treatments. She is currently on Immunotherapy treatments and will be every 28 days for the rest of her life.
We went to a trike when the cancer in her brain caused her to have seizures. Our thought was if she had a seizure while we were on a two wheeled machine it might cause an accident injuring both of us and possibly others. We think if she were to have a seizure on a three wheeled machine I should be able to pull over and tend to her needs. Three wheeled machines are not near the fun or enjoyment of a two wheeled machine, but at least we are still out in the wind attempting to enjoy the day. Ride safe and enjoy every journey.

Has anyone had this problem with a de-cated pipe? I've considered removing the CC and adding the DNA filter and intake plate. If anyone has made these simple performance mods please let me know if something happened or nothing happened. Thanks
I have a 2022 Classic 350 - I installed the DNA filter and new cover, the Hitchcock decat pipe and then the fuel x lite module. I did all 3 sequentially - no error codes as I worked through the installs and I have almost 300 miles on the bike now. I also added the Hitchcock 16 tooth front sprocket. Upon each install I noticed improved engine performance and now with all 4 mods installed the bike’s performance is definitely better than stock. Runs smoother, better exhaust note, better acceleration, and 5th gear now feels like a 6th. Highly recommend these mods. Ride safe! 😊

Hi Roman
Sorry to hear that your having a potential problem with your bike.
It’s very difficult to say what the problem actually is from your explanation but it may be:
Exhaust and / or inlet valves require adjustment.
Cam chain adjuster defective.
Worn cam chain.
Low octane fuel used. This can cause pinking under load (pre ignition) a rattling sound.
An air leak from the inlet or exhaust manifolds.
I very much doubt that the oil is the issue. I would suggest you take the bike to an experienced motorcycle mechanic.
Hope this helps

Surprisingly enough my 2012 Kymco LIke 200i has a built in diagnostic computer. A red light comes on for 3 seconds and if there is a problem it gives a series of dot and dashes and those can be found in the shop manual, there are 26 codes. The manual gives you the component that is most likely the cause. The 2012 is the one and only year that has the feature , all other years need a code reader similar to the one that you used. Or has to be read with the dealer reader that is only available to the dealer. So far no codes and has run perfect all these years. All machines should have this feature.
Thanks for the Kymco info, very interesting which sounds like a brilliant idea. The dealers won’t like it though, they want you to come in and let them fix it for lots of money.

If you watch the video again you will see the EBay details of what I bought. Hope this helps.
Very interesting 👍
Thank you, great to hear that you enjoyed the video 🏍👍
Great fun
Thanks, hope you enjoyed my video 🏍👍
Nice garage. Like my living room.
Thanks, hope you enjoyed my little video 🏍👍
So many here report the same problem. There was no problem with TN’s bike; he deliberately disconnected the sensor to test the device. If the 350 turns out to be reliable it’s another gadget for the drawer but if there is a real problem, how many here have the skill set to fix it? If not, still another gadget for the drawer?
Hope you enjoyed my little video and found it useful 🏍👍
Most people don’t watch TH-cam videos to the end so won’t have seen that it was only a demonstration of the tool.
You cannot clear the code without fixing the problem
When you fix the problem the ECU will clear the code itself
I didn’t actually have a problem, I was trying to demonstrate how to check for faults and clear fault codes.
Hope you enjoyed my video 👍
clever but it did make me nervous , i just placed a deposit on my own 2022 halcyon green classic 350 , i’m glad i watched though to see my mind , my first thought was , oh no did I make a mistake going for a royal enfield? everything i’ve ever heard is they are really good bikes
Great to hear that you enjoyed my video 👍
These bikes are proving to be very reliable. I’ve done over 3,000 miles on mine and not had any issues whatsoever. They’re also one of the simplest bikes to service yourself if like me you hate going to the dealers. It’s a fantastic bike, I’ve sure you’re going to love your Classic 350 🏍️😁
It would be cheaper to put a bit of black tape over the light.
What a brilliant idea 🤣
Hope you enjoyed the video 🏍️👍
I’m not sure I understand the ‘clear code’ section of your demo. In a real life scenario, how could you be sure you’ve fixed all faults and there isn’t a second issue the EMU is picking up that may have triggered the first?
If you have found and rectified a fault detected by the scanner, you then need to clear the fault code from the ecu.
If a second fault is detected which has not been rectified then the scanner will detect this when the engine is restarted.
Only when all faults have been detected and rectified will the scanner give a clear reading on restarting the engine.
Hope this makes sense to you and that you found my video useful 🏍️👍
not 100% sure but i think you should let the engine idle for about 10 minutes after you clear all data from the ECU so it can re-calibrate.
No that’s not necessary, clearing the fault code will not change any ECU settings. Also the correct method of re-calibrating the ECU is the following.
Step 1 - Check that the oil temperature is less than 40 degrees c (a cold engine)
Step 2 - Start the engine and allow to idle until the oil temperature reaches 115 degrees c (this is approximately 30 minutes) Do not touch the throttle.
Step 3 - Turn off the engine and DO NOT START FOR 30 SECONDS.
This is from the Royal Enfield Service Manual.
Hope this helps 👍
@@tigerness5555 thanks for the info and taking the time to describe it so detailed :D
i learned something new 👍
All part of the service 👍🤣
Je ne maîtrise pas l'anglais, et j'ai compris cette belle petite machine présente des soucis de surchauffe ? Ça m'ennuie un peu j'aurais aimé pouvoir acheter cette jolie moto.
Bien à vous cordialement.
Hi Fantomas, That’s the first time I’ve heated anything about overheating problems with this brilliant little engine. My bike has been totally trouble free ever since I received it, it’s now done over 3,000 miles. Perhaps it depends on the country you live in, it never gets too hot in Scotland 😂. Then again in India where they’re made it can get very hot.
Hope you enjoyed my video 👍

Bonjour, merci j'ai acheté cette magnifique machine et j'en suis très heureux.
Je vis dans les hauts de France non loin de Béthune/Arras et environ 45 kilomètres de Lille.
Merci d'avoir répondu, désolé d'avoir été tardif dans mon retour.
Bien à toi ✌️
Il ne fait pas très chaud dans les hauts de France 😂
now put the bike on trickle charge as you will have near flattened the battery turning it on and off so much.
Hi David, thanks for the advice. I used a battery optimiser / charger all the time, a valid point though.
Hope you enjoyed my video 👍
You naughty Scots,but none the less smart move,keep warm🏴🏴
Great to hear that you enjoyed my video 👍
WELL done sir.
BEAUTIFUL bike.
BEAUTIFUL machine.
Regards.
Great to hear that you enjoyed my video 🏍👍
O2 sensor faults will be the scam of the decade. The problem is they are so cheaply made and people do not get the engine up to full running temperature. The challenge here is that for an mot, you cannot pass the mot with the error shown. They are relatively expensive to replace and this is the con. Very sad really
I agree, so far I’ve been lucky and never had to replace one on any of my vehicles.
Hope you enjoyed my video 👍
Surprisingly for a motor cycle in the UK, the tester does not take any notice of the engine fault light because so far at least, motorbikes are not tested for emissions. My Triumph Street Twin had an oxygen sensor fault and I spoke to my very experienced tester about it and he told me that on a bike, this is not tested. On cars of course it is. My bike passed two tests with the oxygen fault causing an engine fault light to show on the instrument cluster.
Too bad it can't be converted to a carburetor like I did with my 2013 Royal Enfield 500, and get rid of all that computer crap.
Why would you want to. Fuel injection all the way for me 🤣
Hope you enjoyed the video 👍
