Thanks for taking the time to explain the resolution. I still have a few queries. Shouldn't it blow the starter fuse? I am also getting the similar display turn off issue. Occassionally, it would produce a nasty sound and just shut down! Later the RPMs would come up very slowly and the bike would run. They once replaced the woodruff key, but I don't know what exactly happened. Is it possible that the engine could backfire under some circumstance, and cause this extra load on the starter components?

Thanks for sharing the difficulties.

Good video Tim, enjoyed Muchly:)

Hi Tim Priest. Can tell you’re missing us all. See you soon x

Another great upload Tim! Can’t wait for the next one. Always great to see you as a happy chap😜😘🙌

Nice one Tim hope to meet up again......H

Nice one Tim .. Brings back good memories.. Take care bud 👍

Nice video Tim, A long time coming but worth waiting for. Great edit and happy memories :)

you need to add a map with your route on it

Another great video.

Always great to see your smiley face Tim. I'm looking forward to getting back to Scotland myself maybe next year. I haven't road a bike in Scotland since I was 18. Some 16 years ago. Beautiful place, 😍

Brilliant video. Brilliant grammar. Thank you.

That big step is a challenge going up it

That was blooming brilliant Tim.. Loved it.. A little more straightforward than last time 😉..What a beautiful area.. One question though .. Does Chris weld the scoot back together after each outing ? How does that thing stay in one piece? Anyway, much respect to you Tim and take care 🙂👍

Love it Tim. Always a blast, giggle and adventure when I go out with you 😂

YESS, PRIESTY BOY, loving the videos big man, keep it up -Adi

I removed all starter motor cables and tested solenoid, cleaned all cable connections. Also opened starter and cleaned copper commutator. ALSO found a multi pin connector with too much conductive grease, Cleaned thoroughly and now my 2018 Carburettor Himalayan starts with a short press of starter button. Also I placed a DC Amp clamp on Starter cable. Starter draws 60 Amps on startup. (Peak draw) I can send you a photo it you PM me.

Hi Tim, I have watched a number of your videos now and I have thoroughly enjoy all of them, especially the work/repairs & Mods on your bikes. What are the black covers you have fitted over your Hand Guards/ Bark Busters on your Himalayan. Thank you

Only Tim can film and do what Tim does, I like your Abstract photo's very arty farty:)

Made me laugh jumping in that water 😂

Remember it well Tim 😂

Nice one Tim.. Brings it all back.. Beautiful scenery and good company.. 👍

After removing all starter cables, plus starter soilenoid, and cleaning all cable connectors, battery cable connectors and stripped starter motor, cleaned commutator, and oiled starter end bearing, also cleaned one multi pin cable connector. Cleaned all earth cable connectors. My Himalayan ( 2018 Carburettor model) starts with one short press of starter switch. I also places a DC Amp clamp on Starter positive cable and noted it draws 60 Amps peak DC on start up. (The multi pin connector was full of factory grease, I think cleaning if fixed my poor starting problems)

That should be good for another 10K miles atleast now Tim. I still have the original pads on my Himi at almost 18K

Can't get any more stupid than this.

Also my R-E starter motor said 0.7Kw 12Volt. So that's 700 watt. 700/12 = 58 amps. Does that sound correct? Has anyone put a DC amp clamp on there starter motor cable to measure starting Amps?

Great video Tim!

Thanks Dickie. That's absolutely where I was told about the Bahco. Mostly I only use that and a hand full of open ended.

Nice one Tim.. Those little Bacho tool kits are great..Recomended to us whilst at Nathan’s weekender at Sweetlamb if I remember rightly..Take care bud 👍

Thanks for great info. I going to pull my starter now and check it. From RE manual, Starter motor bolts, Torque value is 10-12 Nm or 1.0-1.2 Kg.M. that's for the mounting bolts...... I removed my starter. Mine is Perfect inside. I recorded the Starter Motor label info.12 Volt 0.7KW, SM-6870A, 53 100 00000, R.E Part No.:574039/C Varroc Engineering Pvt Ltd, Pune India (mine starter manufacture date15/01/2018).

Thanks anyway for your answer.

I love watching your home grown trips, tech stuff, servicing, you have the gift mate!

Tim....I think you've been kind with the editing- fab time and hope to see you next year 😂! Miles

Good morning Tim. Pleasure to meet you at the Dragon! P.S. You're not Geff. (Ive dropped you a like and subscribe)

Nice one Tim..Gutted I couldn’t make it up there and had to cancel…Nice to see Chris on your vid..Take care 👍

Great video Tim, and thanks for the extra little push out of the mud at the end 😁 pleasure to meet you and will see you next year 😁

That was a great watch Tim, always good to see the Dragon through someone else's eyes.... captured the atmosphere brilliantly. Cheers. 👍

Apart from breaking down on way it was a fantastic weekend loved the vlog

Very entertaining Tim. 😂 Cheers!

Hi, my name is Eduardo. Nice video. It seems to be problem I have now. In my case I was riding the bike and suddenly it stopped, and then every time I try to start it the starter does not work and all the electrical circuit shuts off. Was the same what happened to you? Were you riding the bike when problem appeared? Thanks.

Bru that was tough …hats off to you man …well done

Imma be home 5 you better be oli up

Excellent video Tim!

Class

Walking boots and no armour, brave man. Tenacious too!

Was wondering how well a Himmi would fare on Bastard Lane but was really impressed by the scooter going down it.........

Can u please share the part no. Of one way bearing of electric starter assembly of himalayan

Cool. Nice to see some Himalayans down it. 😊👍
