We fit the Hitchcocks Motorcycles Performance Camshaft to the Royal Enfield Classic 350,
This film hopefully will be useful to anyone planning to fit the Performance Camshaft themselves, and it also covers refitting the Right Hand Crankcase which did not go back on at first! hence a previous film and I would like to thank everyone who got in touch with help,
There are already another 2 films on RU-vid fitting the Camshaft, the original film by Hitchcocks Motorcycle, here is the link;
• Hitchcocks performance...
And easily the best and imformative film by Tiger Ness, link;
• Royal Enfield Classic ...
And the person to first bring to light the refitting of the RH clutch casing is Glyn Owen around 28 mins on his film, Link;
• Part 13 - Engine Pain...
Glyn was right some folk will scratch their heads at refitting that casing! I knew I did!
Oh lastly I did not film the 12,000 mile service as previously filmed the 6000 mile service which is the same, so here are links to that service. Part 1
• 6000 Mile DIY Service...
And Part 2
• 6000 Mile DIY Service;...
Cheers Bruce

Just what we've been waiting for. A really good instructional video with a lot of tips, e.g. don't drop the bolt in the engine! When I do mine I may fill the gap with a bit of bubble wrap, as I'm quite clumsy.

Great film Bruce!! That's really helpful to me, I'm fitting my cam this week and I hadn't thought about the camchain direction tension, will have to watch out for that. I'm terrible at dropping things too so will have to carefully count all the bits or I'll be in shtuck. It sounds really good, and revvy, can't wait to see the ride film, do they recommend a running in period? Yours and Tigerness' films are so good I'll have to think of a unique angle for mine, I'm sure something will happen 👍Glad it all worked out for you

@Coastriderscotland 4 месяца назад

Hi Glyn, just stuff a rag in under the cam in the timing chain and it should be safe from dropping anything inside 😜👍

@Trev350 4 месяца назад

Three things I take away from this one Bruce...#1 what a great bunch of folk own these bikes. #2 that euphoric feeling when you finally solve a problem that was making your head hurt. #3 that final clip of you ripping down the road , giving it the berries! You simply can't do that on a 140 bhp "naughty boy" bike, and that's why these Classic 350's are such brilliant fun. 😊

@colford8354 4 месяца назад

@timparish172 4 месяца назад

A good clear video Bruce, I did mine last year and haven’t regretted it at all. One thing you didn’t mention is that the four rocker retaining bolts need to be replaced with new bolts (Hitchcocks have them in stock) as they are single use only. If you put the old ones back in they can work loose.

@Coastriderscotland 4 месяца назад

I did the same with my Hunter 350 , DNA air filter , Hitchcock Kent camshaft , got rid of the catalytic converter , and put a Enfield precicion free flow silencer on from Hitchcock ( plus baffle! , work better! and does not make the neighbors angry 😇. The bike runs much better , much quicker if needed for overtaking ( safer ) , sounds better , top speed plus minus 130 km and use a little bit more fuel but that also depens how you ride it , . 😁 . these changes are totally worth it , i love my Hunter 350 this bike is fun fun fun . and i love my Interceptor 650 too this bike is fun fun and faster ,lol ...

@bobbod8069 4 месяца назад

Just another one. I'm happy with the seventy-ish mile per hour limit on my Classic. However I quite often struggle to get up to that, at lease on the few roads that warrant 60 -70. It's true that I have quite a large lard content and maybe that's the main problem. But it would be good the know how the new cam performs at the upper end.

@Coastriderscotland 4 месяца назад

It will deft be better at what you want in top gear, like yourself happy with the top speed as it wont blow up with the rev and top speed limiter! It pulls better on hills now as you will see in the next film on Friday 😁👍👍

Glad to see you sorted the cover out, on your video at 26 minutes 33 seconds it looks like the lower forkleg is bent back, noticed there's damage on your crash bars on that side, or is it an optical illusion,

@roberthocking9138 4 месяца назад

Great video, but most of all I would like to see how you released the fuel tank, its got hoses and plugs all over the place underneath. Also what hp and torque increase do Hitchcocks claim ?

@Coastriderscotland 4 месяца назад

Hi i have done the tank removal in several maintenance films, sesrch through my Classic 350 Playlist fir service films, The first few times you remove them it seems hard until the fuel connector pipe has been disconnected/re connected a few times, Cheers Bruce

@cleeveofford1720 2 месяца назад

Hello Bruce, thinking of installing the cam in my 350 classic, just wondered is it worth it? What do you reckon, does it make that much difference, or is it an expensive add-on for little improvement? Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

@Coastriderscotland 2 месяца назад

Hi, the cam question and other mods comes up often regarding if worth doing?, I think if you can afford more than one bike and/or own a bigger faster bike then i would leave it stock and just enjoy the bike as even stock its fantastic 👍 what i like is the noise of my bike now, and the cam adds a different note, But i guess you have to decide how much you want to spend on your bike, and wether your keeping it long term as i planned from first day i rode it, so i have not really answered your question and really only you can decide, It has more mid range now but your still stuck with the 73ish mph top speed

@hunterrider349 4 месяца назад

How did you get rid of the catalytic converter on the hunter, i didn't know anyone made a decat pipe for the hunter

@ottohesslein3230 Месяц назад

At the 5:53 mark, he says the last thing you want to do is drop the bolts into the engine. I tried this as the final step and I don't recommend it. He gave bad advice here. The last step of dropping the bolts into the engine should be eliminated from the procedure.
