Kudos to you, brother. Seriously. This channel is a must visit for all Himalayan owners. You're so informative with your videos. Keep up the great work! Thank you so much for your work.
glad that these videos help friend. will continue to share what i know .
How much often does we have to check the spokes?
My spokes broke why can anyone tell a small piece also broken from hub is it safe to ride or should I change the hub
Great and informative video Ben!
Can we also use our spokes as a music instrument? 😝😂
Video was good but your voice is great.
Thanks buddy 😊
Thanks for sharing 👍
Hi Ben, useful video! My Himi Bs6 pulls to the right when driving short straight tracks free hand.. Have you ever faced similar issues? any hint to solve? I tried re aligning the front forks and the front wheel, handlebar. It seems to be a common issue.
Hey i have the same issue, where you able to find the reason
Thanks , very helpful.
Good 👍🌹
Nice video Ben, just wanted to ask you that what are the issues if we tighten the spokes a little too much and what if the spokes are loose. Just want to understand the difference so that I can directly go and tighten it whether it is tight or loose. Also till what end we should tighten the spokes. Appreciate your reply..
And the video is been liked..❤️
Jayesh Prabhu too tight and your wheel will start warping ( you will feel a wobble , your rim will start flexing/ bending and so you will need to True your wheel rims ) . Too loose and your rim will be prone to bending when you hit a bump or a ditch at high speed , also heavy load too will start to bend your rim . Tighten to a point where it seats firmly and then a 1/8 - 1/4 th turn ( counter clockwise to tighten ) . Also you will never need to loosen the spokes unless you have a rim bend . That process is called WHEEL TRUING
@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN thanks Brother for such a quick reply it is helpful
All RE problems, one solution watch uncle ben's video ❤️
Very helpful video. Thanks Ben.
Glad to hear that

If this video help .... It help 😁
what if i have around 3-7 spokes a bit loose on my rear rim can i just tighten them in order or does my wheel get unbalanced if i do that
You can tighten them without any worry if and only if they are LOOSE . over tightening is the problem
Honestly, this video is the best
Such informative video brooo thank you so much. Can we upgrade sokes ? if yes then i am waiting for that video.
The stock spikes are fantastic. You needn’t upgrade them .
Hi Ben, Does loose spokes also leads to unaligned tyre or a play in tyre?
In the wheels . Yes
Hey Ben,
From few days, I feel my hima has some balance problem. It doesn't feel stable.
Not sure if I need to adjust spoke or tcone bearing problem.
Bike is only 7000km driven.
Any way to check ?
No sound from handlebar
Air pressure, forks, fork oil, spokes, rear wheel alignment( bearings )
@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN
Air pressure I always maintained 27(front) & 34(rear) as per manual
what do you mean by rear wheel alignment ?
&
What to check in fork ?
just found your channel ... subbed 👊👍
Freedom Rider 😊 thanks friend
Very useful information, pls keep up the trend.😊😊
Thank you, I will
What size of the himalayan spoke ? I am searching cor spoke tightner on amazon. Just want to confirm the size. Is it 14 or 15 ? The service center charges 1000 for it. So thinking of doing it by my own😎
The service centre balances the wheels . That’s a different process . I am talking about adjusting loose spokes in this video . Get a size 6 open end spanner
Messed with mine today and nothing metric fit tight.. ¼ inch SAE fit perfect ~
