Royal Enfield Himalayan Oil Change (Step by Step) 

Hey, man.. That’s my website. It’s fun to watch someone change the oil following the guide. Good video and I appreciate you using my guide.

Congratulations on your Himalayan. Air cooled engines will last a lifetime, this powerplant has many advantages , so you will have great experience with your bike riding it👍

Young man, First step is to ride or warm up your engine to temp!. #2 You should have losened/taken off the oil cap before/prior to draining!. And that goes for almost every engine in the world, It lets air into the crankcase so it does't create a vaccuum while draining, It will drain your oil will faster and more completly. When you remove the oil filter (Right side) tip the bike to the right to drain more oil out!. Never use loc-tite on these bolts!. Tourqe them correctly. If your going to continue to use Loc-tite, make sure you remove all the old loc-tite off the bolt threads and you may even have to use a tap to clean out the internal threads. the continuious use of loc-tite without cleaning the threads will keep building up and your bolts will strip out even before getting them tightened up.. I also presoak/submerge my oil filters in a mason jar filled with new clean oil, pull it up with a piece of wire, let excess drain off and install..Just a few tips from and old mechanic with 55 years + of riding.. Good videos, And I like your bike and color!.

Fit a magnetic drain plug as well. You will find out why. Initially drain on side stand Then put the bike on the centre stand and get another 100 ml of oil, remove gallery drain plugs and get another 500 to 800 ml out if it. Never locktite the 8mm head bolts on the filter, or the screen you will rip the threads out of the case, ask me how I found out. And it was only blue locktite

Thanks for awesome videos. I did first time oil change. When job was done I observed steam coming from oil filter cap. I tied carefully screws and replaced gasket. The steam appears after the bike warm up. I was wondering is that ok? I can’t remember this steam before but I hope it’s fine

On2FT, I think you should get a maintenance stand that can be elevated so you don't have to work on your bikes on the ground.

The strainer behind the oil drain plug has a deeper side and a shallower side. Which side faces up?

I see you still have the original exhaust. I replaced mine with a straight through downpipe and race can. Flies now.

So you re-use the o-ring for the drain plug cover panel the metal screen lives behind?

Warm up the engine or not? I’m a bit messy so I like to put down an oil absorbent mat from my local auto parts store.

Thanks for your efforts. I have gone with an expensive full synthetic as there is no viscosity degradation over the life of the oil change. When you only have 2 litres of oil there's hardly any price difference to worry about and the extra protection on an air cooled motor is well worth it IMHO. Change filter with oil

What oil pan do you use and where did you get it? I like the size.

2.5 liter ? please tell me !

So I just did my oil for my 1st time the the other two times was a shop but I’m left with 300 ml of oil is that ok?

Website says Yamalube 15w50 fs. Haven't tried that. Been running the Motul for several years.

Bro my engine oil is beyond second line a little bit Is it overfilled?👍

I also have a 2021 RE Himalayan, but my Drain Plug is a 22mm, but you say 21mm. Just a fyi caution to others.

Thanks nice Vid. I'm also in Flag. I'm helping a gal out that's riding to the tip of So America so this will come in handy
