Royal Enfield Himalayan Oil & Filter change motorcycle maintenance

After the valve clearance check its time to warm up the engine and change the engine oil and filters

I’m a master mechanic that knows to watch your video b4 I do my first oil & filter change on my new Scram411. Wow your tips are a great mess saver I must say. Loved the AL foil trick, the removal a cleaning of oil screen and fake screw on airbox lid! Thanks from Pueblo West Colorado Rocky Mountains!!!

Yeh they didn’t design the thing for mess free maintenance 😂

[@Mixologist-fc4sc]

My stealer wanted $600 to perform the first service. I just watched videos and did it myself for $80. They probably use crappy oil too. Now I'll learn how to adjust the valves.

[@bikerdood1100]

Valves are quite easy access to the inlet is fiddly

[@SCOTTMEISTER007]

Thanks man! Just ready for my first 300m service. I'm a bit of spas and never changed the oil or done any maintenance really on a bike or car, even though I'm old. I bought the Himmy thinking I could do that kind of real blokey stuff myself, so thank you so much for helping me along that journey, you made it very simple and clear!😁

[@bikerdood1100]

Hope it helps

clean work

[@bikerdood1100]

If only 😂

Thanks for the video. I just bought one of these earlier this year and will need to know where all the parts are. But I would never wash a strainer with water. I would use WD40 or the equivalent to that.

[@bikerdood1100]

That would work

[@stevetaylor8698]

Thanks for this. How much oil did you actually put in to get the to oil level we saw in the sight glass?

[@bikerdood1100]

It was a couple of litres I think, may have been slightly over.

[@thudtheace]

The spec is 1.6 to 1.8l. Also don't pre-oil your filter, you want to purge the air as quick as possible when starting the engine, and a pre-oiled filter will resist that air purge a lot more than a dry filter, so I never pre soak my cartridge filters in oil.

what is name of that ruber u said u can change ocasionaly, when i am searching oil kit on ebay, i always find only oil filter and gasket without that part

[@bikerdood1100]

Some oils filter kits will come with the seal included

[@luissalido4187]

What torque wrench are you using? I can't find one for the life of me, thanks.

[@bikerdood1100]

Mines actually a bit too small need one with higher limits to be honest I’m sorry I can’t check at the moment as I’m in northern France making a video

[@FlyingWombats]

What are the 3 silver washers that come with the filter kit for?

[@bikerdood1100]

The drain plugs

[@FlyingWombats]

@bikerdood1100 I know of the drain plug that uses the copper crush washer. Then there are 5 8mm bolts associated with the oil change, but none of those have washers. Are there 3 additional drain plugs?

[@reavsie1]

You don't need to touch the oil drain bolt as you have to remove the whole cover to get to the strainer. At least that is how I did it, couldn't see any downside.

[@bikerdood1100]

Bit splashy I expect otherwise no
