royal enfield himalayan O2 sensor cleaning 

No friend it will not help . A slight better throttle response and slightly better fuel economy is all that you can expect. Reset TPS and check your EVAP systems condition before you conclude anything. Also use the choke for a good 30 secs during cold starts .

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN thanks Ben. I watched another video that talked about moving the ambient temp sensor to the front of the bike and adding a booster plug to fix missy throttle and stalling. Not absolutely sure if i want to go that way coz winters only last for 4 months where I am at and then it gets pretty warm. I’ll check out what you said and get back with findings. Cheers :)

@@Kislay_Joshi yes the only way is to richen the mix . A booster plug or piggyback ecu ( I have a powertronic) . And cold starts will be totally trouble free. Also a solid engine that will not run hot .

size queen fouled / dirty sensor is caused by a variety of reasons . And as far as reach is concerned I am afraid you will have to remove the pipes to get access to the Same.

Thank you friend 😊

thanks for the acknowledgement

How do you know it’s an O2 sensor error

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN The Royal Enfield workshop guys checked the error code with DOLE tool and confirmed. They are suggesting to replace the O2 censor but after my experience with them in past one month I want to try this method of cleaning the sensor. What’s your opinion?

@@SantanuBiswas cleaning the O2 sensor is to be done as a periodic maintenance procedure to keep it reading right amount of O2 in the exhaust gases . This will not work if it’s a faulty O2 sensor in the first place . Anyways you can def give it a try to eliminate contaminants on the sensor and see if that does away with the error code . After cleaning you will have to reset the ecu to see if it has worked . For this you will have to take the bike to RE or try the trick from KARMAKAZE MOTO ‘s video on resetting ECU on RU-vid .

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN Ok. Thank you. Will update after trying.

Never

you might have not connected your coupler properly , or worst case scenario is that you might have spoiled your O2 sensor .

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN I had turned on the bike without O2 sensor once just to know what happens 🥴🥲

@@martinjohny2135 yes, that is the reason. you will have to go to the SC and get your error codes erased.

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN thanks brother 👍

ha ha , so do i.

vsk mn you should NOT have used wd40. Kindly get yourself a carb or throttle body cleaner and clean again .

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN Sure, will do that one more time bro. I didn't soak it for long, sprayed, few sec later wiped off throughly. Air dried a bit and reinstalled. Went for 180km ride today. I guess, any excess wd40 might have gone from the sensor. Will clean it one more time though, with the Carn cleaner

@@Rhydon_46 wd40 doesnt vapourise completely . it leaves a residue and so it is vital that you have it cleaned

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN yeah bro sure. Am going out to buy any carb cleaner available. Will clean it one more. Don't wanna take chances. 😇

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN bought one Magsol throttle plate and intake cleaner.. In spec it is written that it is Oxygen sensor safe and VOC compliant.. I guess it will be ok

Soak overnight in petrol

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN will diesel be safe or can you use the throttle body cleaner for spark plug ? don't want to purchase only for the O2 sensor cleaning.

Aditya Malgaonkar diesel can also work . But the throttle body cleaner can be used on a whole lot of things . I will make a video on spark plug cleaning , throttle body cleaning ( without removing it from the bike) , injector Cleaning etc .

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN looking forward to it. .. also just as an idea can you do one on bare essential tools for Himalayan regular maintenance and basic on-road repairs? I am making do with an Allen key set, open spanners and few other basics for now but was wondering whether to add a socket wrench set (1/2 inch) .. and if I do that then can I just avoid the 1/4 wrench set and open spanners as well? It's not merely about saving money but also about saving weight. What are your thoughts?

no, too harsh for the o2 sensor. soak in petrol for 5-6 hrs

Spray the same rust remover or WD 40 on to the rusted outside part . Let it soak for sometime (10-15 mins ) and then try . Keep hitting only the nut gently with a spanner to loosen up the rust
