Royal Enfield Himalayan High Altitude Carburetor Tuning

[@cpuuk]

I believe you are adjusting the pilot mixture screw (fuel side). By turning it to the right you are reducing the fuel... when the air is thin, you need to also thin the fuel to maintain the air to fuel ratio. Modern injectors do this automatically, but good to see old fashioned carb adjustment.

[@God-is-love-]

Thanks for explaining in details

[@MotoHolic]

Very informative video! I always wanted to know what does one need to do with carb when going to high altitude. It turned out to be very simple. No changing jets or sticking a wire in it - just turn one screw until you are happy with the engine idling. The explanation is simple and easy to follow, thank you Pavlin!

Everybody needs to know this information and the cameraman is excellent. Thank You

[@TheLeo6890]

I need to set up for 5000 meter elevation to pass the Andes this is helpful, thank you!

[@motorcycleadventures]

Glad to help!

[@asif8672]

Thanks for sharing pavlin this will help everyone own carburettor base motorcycle. I would like to add one more step to improve it even further replace main jet to 2 number below for example if u have 119mm replace it with 117mm and ofcourse adjust mixer as mentioned in the video this will help alot

Met him today a wonderful person, thanks for your time

[@PedroMartinez-nl1gr]

Thank you for the instructions. I realize this video is 3 years old, but if you don't mind I have a question. I'm preparing for a trip to Patagonia and the altitude ranges up to 5000 meters, I was told and I don't think is correct, that if I increase airflow to the carburetor by means of a direct fan to the air filter or inject pressurize air via small 02 tank this will help. I appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you

[@motorcycleadventures]

No it won't! You need to adjust the carburetor.

[@PedroMartinez-nl1gr]

@@motorcycleadventures That's what I thought after watching your video. Thank you.

[@andreasbrandstetter9221]

But that's just the idle mix screw. It's active to maybe 1/8 of throttle. So it won't affect anything above 1/8 throttle.

[@motorcycleadventures]

It works.

[@justinsolomon5561]

Nice video I just got a xtz660 it's great but the fuel gauge says it's empty when it still half full is this a common fault it's really annoying anyway to fix it thanks enjoy your trip

In your other video, your speed-meter device broke, how? was is a new bike and that thing just failed? thanks for the videos.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes, just stopped working.

[@RidingBones]

@@motorcycleadventures thanks. what other bikes are on the same class as the Himalayan? I like it a lot, but Id like some 50hp and a similar torque.

[@Mladen_Hadzija]

It is useful video. Thanks.

[@jel1406]

Hello, yes I have a problem with my Himalayan. It switches off even in hot weather, after I have driven it 3 to 10 min. What can I do?

[@motorcycleadventures]

No idea!

[@rehmatali2379]

I had such same problem. Can you help what to do

[@dikydiky7252]

Now I know why suzuki drz 400 still exists. steel frame, carb, and simple instrument panel but have fully adjustable upsidedown front suspension. Hopefully suzuki will answers with the next DR BIG (reborn) .

[@TanjaminKhan]

Thanks for sharing.

[@motorcycleadventures]

My pleasure!

[@kiwiscoot2318]

Hi, thanks so much for your informative videos. I just purchase a Himalayan based on your honest information. Could you do a video on servicing like valve adjustment please? No info on that in the service manual. Thanks

[@motorcycleadventures]

I don't have that information.

[@ravichandrasrisailam1975]

how about installing power tronic in himalayan

[@gerardomusano6919]

Good things for all of the motorbike riders

[@Tenzy1999]

Sir why my motor bike silencer pipe is overheating at 1 to 2 minutes of the starting

[@motorcycleadventures]

Because of the catalytic converter, if it has it.

[@grantplaster3858]

I’m pretty sure It doesn’t matter if it’s carburetored or fuel injected. The air has less oxygen and affect the fuel to oxygen ratio

[@motorcycleadventures]

It does, but on carburetor you need to adjust it or the motorcycle won't start and work anymore. On injection you don't need to do anything.

[@MohankVBM]

if your visit list is having Bangalore. please come home and stay. We love to welcome. 👍.

[@vinodbhosale2103]

Hi sir...😎

[@teneretraveller8980]

Good to see regulator rectifier out of the way, although it might get not there from heat of the engine. Good video, but prefer fuel injection these days. Swapping jets is a big faff!.

[@ArunachalboyYes]

Looks like this video is shooted in india

[@motorcycleadventures]

True!

[@VadaiGod]

My engine gives some tok tok tok sound when i ride in higher rpm.

[@VadaiGod]

Does that need to do with carb, because bike is sluggish is higher rpm

[@Heavywall70]

This sealed me never wanting an RE YA lost me at carburetor Even Harleys are fuel injected
