Royal Enfield Himalayan | TPS | Throttle Position Sensor | Check and Adjust DIY 

Thank uu

Thanks mate, I am glad you found this useful. We are lucky that our model has all these adjustability. Newer models have different throttle body with no idle adjustment or TPS sensor adjustment😉

Hi can you share your no, it's not working for me on my Himalayan

Thanks mate, I am really glad that bike; is running good after adjustment, we have got to love the simplicity of this beautiful machine. Thanks and cheers :)

Really glad that you found this vid useful mate, thanks and happy DIYing ;)

My pleasure mate and thanks, I hope this comes in handy and resolves the issue, Cheers :)

@@leuheanrede nah mate. I'm having to replace the entire throttle assembly. The throttle body is apparently malfunctioning. Hope the warranty covers it.

Thanks mate, I am glad the video was useful🙂 cheers

🙂 we all started at some point, but glad to hear it's running fine now, cheers

Greetings mate :) indeed that plug is a bit of a hassle, have known a few cases where it has come loose. I am glad its all ok now, thanks and Cheers :)

Thanks mate 🙂

Thanks mate, really glad to know that you were able to resolve the issue. It's a simple fix and goes a long way in keeping the bike ride and sound healthy. Cheers :)

Hey mate, thanks for your kind words. Now unfortunately, I have not worked on 2022 himalayan, I have looked at the throttle body of new models and found them to be different in design and function. So not sure if TPS adjustability is available. Please do let me know if it is. Cheers

Hahaha and I thank you Sir for tolerating my nincompoopish vids :D, I can only hope you found this vid handy to resolve any issues if they existed, cheers :)

@@leuheanrede again, you are the who deserves the thanks. Please don't thank me for just acknowledging that. And don't sell yourself short, the videos are PERFECT the way they are. Please please don't beautify it with 'production quality', it's definitely not needed. Just practical facts! -from an old Y350 rider from the '90s. Past my prime but still got 2-stroke thunder in my heart!

Thanks mate, much appreciated , Cheers :)

Thank you mate. I really appreciate it. Cheers :)

Thanks mate, really glad that you found this useful. Have a good one. Cheers :)

Thanks mate :D This is the easiest one to access and check/adjust, so thought why not Cheers :)

Thanks sis, Cheers :)

Thanks mate, glad to be of assistance, have a good one. Cheers :) email- solacedrecluser@hotmail.com

@@leuheanrede thank you. We will definitely contact you. Right now our country is in lockdown due to Covid.

Thanks for such kind words mate, I really appreciate it. :) Idea for these DIY's originated from the love of all things mechanical and truly enjoying those parts mash up together and start singing in harmony like a perfect note as you mentioned. I am truly glad to be of assistance and to learn that you have started DIYs. Kudos to you mate, and i will try to make sure to keep loading simple and true to best DIY vids, (among other nonsense which you can ignore :), because there will be some nonsense getting uploaded for sure ;) ) Cheers :)

Thnkas mate, glad to know you are finding the content useful, that adds fuel to the fire, thanks and Cheers:)

Thanks mate :D

Thanks mate, glad you found it useful, cheers and Happy DIYing :)

Thanks mate :) cheers

😄haha. Indeed mate. Happy DIYing. Cheers

Hey mate. Its same accross the board for all machines. Cheers

Hey mate, yup new himalayans have a new throttle body with integrated sensors unit, not much can be done on them

Thanks mate, yes start with setting the correct idle setting only then move to TPS. But to be honest that was a common issue on BS4 model, cheers

@@leuheanrede I'll give it a try!! Thank you!

Hey mate, first check that TPS senor cable is connected properly, it does come loose, the following vid will explain where it is located, but dont adjust it yet, first adjust the idle properly. even if after doing these two steps the issue isnt resolved then adjust the TPS sensor. Also i consider that Spark plug is properly adjusted before getting into these steps. cheers :) idle setting - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VhkReLSSIfs.html spark plug adjustment - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EnMukroeGbY.html

Thanks mate, glad you found this useful, cheers ;)

Hey mate, yes you can but to be honest i have not faced any overheating issues, if your bike is overheating you need to get to the core issue, like is engine oil ok and topped up, is plug of right heat range and adjusted to speck, are clutch plates good, is lever play properly adjusted, etc, I have ridden it on long tours and in Delhi heat where temp rises to 47-48 but no heating issues, hope it helps, cheers :)

Heyvmate bikevis idling very low it seems or maybe the TPS CONNECTOR is loose. When you start what is the idle Rpm it shows

Hello brother, long time :D How are things holding up. Any plans for this year, if covid allows that is? Good to hear from you, cheers :)

@@leuheanrede arey sir yaha sab ek dum badiya, I hope aapke waha bhi sab theek hoga. Baaki next trip iss area ka plan kar raha hun Gunji Uttarakhand 262546 maps.app.goo.gl/3JgHKVrHx6sHiJYv8 🙏

I think your issue has to do more with the minimum idle rpm rather than TPS. Mine took at least 2 attempts at start until I raised the minimum to 1,000-1,100rpm cold

Yes mate. You wont believe it but it's often the simplest of the things that we over look. Plug in a multi meter and get cracking. And please do let me know if any issues or questions. Cheers

@@leuheanrede Even I have the same problem. What can I do to solve it?

Hi, so yes you are right, there is some fueling issue around 3000 rpm, It is not smooth, That is how the ECU has been mapped. Now I have tried a few things in hopes to make it better. Adjusting the TPS did make some difference and now bike has done 20000 kms so I think I have gotten used to it. As you said on highways at higher RPM its smooth already. Unfortunately Mojo one is non ajdustable. I am soory but did I talk with you about this on insta, my memory is failing me.

@@leuheanrede Yes, we have shared our views on insta. Thank you.

Hey mate I do not have the factory specs on BS3 carb ones but stick close to universal .5 v and will take care of it Cheers :)

@@leuheanrede thanks for the speedy reply.I had a feeling your video probably would not pertain to my bs3 relic.I wonder if the Service Centres even bother with this check.But guess I will go with your advice of sticking with universal values.Thanks again and stay safe.

@@anilgangolli6681 I am also having stalling problem with my bs3 model, sent to authorised service center 2 times, but still the problem exists

Hey mate. How many miles total and what's the status of sparkplug, when was it last changed and adjusted, is it stick bosch ur5cc or have you upgraded to some thing else. and when was last valve clearance done. Has the carb been cleaned, a simple retune after clean can do the trick.

@@leuheanrede Yes, i have replaced sparkplug with titanium plug 1 month ago, tried everything except this TPS check

Yes mate it would but only if the torx screw is loose. As that holds it securely in place once we adjust and tighten it back. Cheers :)

Hahhaha, really glad you asked mate :) I did a BS4 to BS3 headlight light on off conversion plus also ABS on off switch, all in that old model switch gear so had put the sticker on for a couple of day to get familiarized with the setup ;D there are the vids Cheers Royal Enfield Himalayan | Battery saving tip | Low Beam / ABS On | Off Switch Option | Replacement ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ybSUd87mYhw.html Royal Enfield Himalayan BS4 ABS On/Off Switch | Handlebar Mount | DIY ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oTWdykKZLY0.html

TPS . sensor

Hey mate, limited movement could meant that the tool you are using is making it harder to access that Torx screw. As for stalling, does it happen at low RPM, High RPM or anywhere in the rev range?

I did mine and that's fairly easy! You need to loose the T20 torque screw to move it!

@@leuheanrede No. I can able to access the screw and can loosen it. Stalling happens when I shift to every gear. If I reach max speed of 1st gear I'm getting dip. Similarly 2nd, 3rd, 4th. In simple words, if I throttle more to speed up the vehicle it dips there. I donno whether I answered your questions or confused you🙄. Pls share your email/ Contact number

Take the bike for a ride, for warming up the engine. When the bike is warmed up try increasing the idle rpm. Idle rpm adjust video is done by leuheanrede.

Yes, here you go mate, check that all TPS , MAP, O2 sensor cables are properly connected and do warm it up to ajdust idle ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VhkReLSSIfs.html Cheers :)

Hey mate, has the carb diaphragm been checked for leaks and the rest of the passage for intake too, what is the color of the spark plug when you take it out,

@@leuheanrede Not checked diaprham, Checked spark plug color, it's good, and I am using Iredium spark plug, Adjusted TPS sensor myself to 0.56, same problem exists, after starting, it is running 2km fine without any problem, after 2km, it is giving missing and stalling, then after 3 min, it's starting again and stalling for every 200meters, I have checked the air hole of fuel tank, it's good, I don't think it is fuel problem, any suggestions please?

It could be a loose connector to one of the sensor or a bad sensor itself if the bike is not going above 90. This vid just covers TPS sensor For fluctuating RPM please try to adjust the idle, I did a vid some time back, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VhkReLSSIfs.html This is only applicable for BS4 models

Hey mate, few additional questions. Have you checked that evap hose is connected properly. And please do check all the electrical connector are properly connected, including this TPS one, loose connector can also lead to missing. Its hard to pin point just one thing without riding the bike.

Evap system disconnected in my bike.when i put on servicecenter they tell me electric system working good there is no fail.but y

@@himalayanblender7248 what is the fuel level at the time this happens. And what condition is the spark plug in. How many kms total?

Hey mate. How many kms done in total. I ask becos for initial few 100 kms it is normal. After first service as the new parts are run in, things will get better. May I suggest that 2-3 mins of warm up in normal temperature is a bit too much. Idea is to warm it up for like a min say as we put our helmet jacket gloves etc on and start riding. There is no reason to give fast throttle at this time. We are suppose to ride it slow for first 5 min s as good practice at normal throttle speed. But as for the issue of stalling, its new so let it run for a 1000 kms then we can adjust the idle. I have done a video on idle adjustment if you need to do it and the bike has done over 1000 kms please have a look at idle adjustment. As for second issue, that sound should always be there when we turn the key on given that on off on the handle is on. If you are not hearing it that means probably the electrical connection on the pump on right side of tank is loose. Please check that. Considering yours is a new bike I suspect it's just the loose connector. If it was old then I would have suggested to check for wiring cut or fuse. Very few chances of pump failure in new bikes. Always keep 3-5 ltrs or above of fuel in tank to avoid any pump related issues in future. Last would be to check if battery is charged. Its a new bike so don't worry about tps at this point. Maybe later.

​@@leuheanrede I rode my 444kms till now! and due to lockdown conditions, I can't take the bike to the service center and service on wheels is also not available due to pandemic. my first service is pending! and ignition fuse I have checked yesterday it was good no issue in that. and my tank is half right now and before that, I have encountered an F trip for around 3 to 5 kms. and I have also checked the connector below the fuel pump yesterday it seems ok to me but I'll check it once again. and can you plz tell me what can I do about the fuel pump issue? ​if it not resolved! because sometimes I got frustrated when my new bike didn't get started

@@Hemant._.Dhiman thats good, don't worry after the service things will get smoother, lockdown should get lifted in another week or 2 hopefully. About the pump issue, I am not sure i understand correctly whats happening. So ignition on and kill switch on. And the pump doesn't start. Is that what you're saying

@@leuheanrede yes! Sometimes i can hear a fuel pumping sound. But sometimes dont and that condition my bikes engine did not start i have to turn my key to off position and again it to on pisition until i hear the fuel pump working sound!

And sometimes its to embarrassing in traffic conditions coz its new, and it stall in second gear! And that time it did not start i have to move it to the side until it start😅 (but since its crossed the 300kms in total the stalling problem is less now)

Hey mate. That happen when one of the wire connectors come loose. Please carefully check, if need be unplug and plug the ones on throttle body. TPS one will the the first one I would check, it seems connected but it's not. Once you are pressing it in you should hear the click.

@@leuheanrede thanks for your reply. I did press clicked the throttle plug as u said. No improvement. Anything else shud I check ?

@@raguramravikumar1884 ok so were you trying to adjust TPS.

I am asking cos if sensor was moved out of range then also it will not give correct reading to ecu and bike would stall as soon as we give any input on throttle. Please elaborate how it started. Did you change or adjust anything. Or did it just happen like out of nowhere

@@leuheanrede I have this stalling issue for a very long time, taking it to various service centre's dint help. After watching this video I thought there's something with the tps. I unplugged and plugged it back heard a click. But didn't help.

We should, I dont want to go into details of when we can't. But please follow standard procedure. Some time for DIY video shooting purposes I press starter just before the pump sound is about to die out. It has to be timed perfectly but dont mess with it. Cheers :)

He mate at the time of shooting this vid i was running NGK CR8EIX, but currently i have switched to NGK CPR7EAIX, cheers :)

@@leuheanrede Interesting plug choice. Any reason you went for a hotter plug with a projected tip? and how much piston clearance do you have with the projected tip on the CPR plug?

🤫 idea is to test all 7, 8 and 9. Ideally 7 is closest to Bosch UR5CC that comes as stock. So technically not hotter then stock. And I must say NGK 7 is running the cleanest thus far as should be expected. 9 is just too darn cold to be honest and test results show that. 8 is kinda ok and sits perfectly in the middle. I keep switching after every 500 to 700 kms. And there is enough clearance for CPR as well. Not sure but maybe in future will post test results 🙃 cheers

Hey mate, yes same parameters. But first we need to adjust the idle screw properly and only then move to TPS.

@@leuheanrede k dude let I'm check, but how to adjust the ideal screw limit, like a ideal means how much Rpm for ideal

@@mohammedabbas3620how much rpm does your bike idle at after riding for say like 20-30 minutes and when you stop at red light. It should be around 1200 to 1300 rpm. I have a vid on idle adjustment too in the diy maintenance Playlist. Let me know if you need I can post the link for that. Cheers

@@leuheanrede dude upload the link...

Hey mate, BS6 Classic doesn't have this adjustability, Sorry as RE has put in a completely different design Throttle body and sensors

@@leuheanrede sir, I have old model 2014 tps available thats why.

@@vipulmodi8728 aah got it. That should have the same setting. Will check and confirm soon and let's keep it simple bro, you say sir and I feel depressed about my age 🤓

I am really sorry mate, as that is not what I was aiming for. Just trying to get people involved with their rides. Truly sorry if I gave out wrong impression. But thanks for pointing it out. Cheers :)

@@leuheanrede Hey no no.. c'mon.. In fact really thank you so much for making such DIY videos.. I was merely seeking your input whether the Himalayan needs any more maintenance than say the Xpulse etc.. Esp since Royal Enfield has (had) a bad rap on online forums like xbhp.. Where apparently it was even advised sometimes for folks who are more mechanically-aware.. So would you say the ownership experience in terms of maintenance is at par with other bikes?.. Thanks for the feedback and again thanks for the videos.. They are worth watching irrespective of which bike one owns.

Oh. Ok got it :) Yeah in a way. Maybe I am overdoing it on Himalayan as you mentioned because of bad reputation it has earned. But things aren't as bad as what we hear and read online. That being said, I own couple of Yamaha's and they do fare better in terms of part quality. On maintenance front, I do same odd jobs with interval spaced bit longer too. No denying that Cheers :)

:D indeed, but I have actually ported the Throttle body by 1.5 mils Thus pretty much taking care of that. but might consider going for a power commander/powertronic ECU piggy back to further the fueling needs, if needed. Will update soon Cheers :)

leuheanrede, I thought about a power commander but it was just too expensive, booster plug was much much cheaper 👍🏻

@@KRAM-zb2vc indeed. That's why I am trying to convince myself that I dont need one :D

leuheanrede fair enough 👍🏻

Hey mate Excellent question. And answer short and simple is No. Now you might come across a person every now and then who might say that the answer is yes. Let's understand,why? TPS is working g along with other sensors like MAP, O2, crank speed, ambient temperature, engine temperature etc. And all these sensor send data to ECU which than decides how much fuel needs to go in engine and guides injector to supply atomized fuel vapors. And this happens in milliseconds. The input comes to ecu and the output to injector on and on and on. The cycle keeps going. If at any moment O2 senses rich mixture, again input to ecu and again ecu will cut back on fuel through injector. Just manipulating TPS will not help as ecu in few cycles will be able to sense rich mixture and cut back on fuel. For richer mixtures an ECU piggy back over ride or something like a booster plug will be suitable. Cheers :)

@@leuheanrede guessed it would be the way you described it here-but had a doubt that with the changing voltage,maybe the mixture changes around the stoichiometric optimum and maybe the TPS can help in richening the mixture.

Hey mate. Its hard to diagnose online but my guess is some electrical issue, hoping that air filter spark plug are clean. First check if all connector are connected to respective sensors properly and there is no wire damage. If can't find anything its probably best to have RE GUYS have a look with their diagnostic tool at service center

I do and so should you, eventually you will get a knack of when all system checks, fuel pump are ready so you can hit the starter. But please always do Cheers :)

Het mate That shouldnt happen with just changing the spark plug if the gap is ajdusted properly and in case of iridium, it should be .8 MM, please check gap and re adjust if needed. Cheers :)

@@leuheanrede yeah but it's a brand new spark plug which you recommended CR8EIX do you recommend I change the gap? Before it was stock one from Bosch and it was idling around 1.5rpm. But now it goes below 1 and sometimes stops when accelerating.

In that case some thing is seriously not right. Please understand my temptation to have a look at you bike and try and understand whats going on ;) But for DIY purpose, please refer to following vid to adjust spark plug gap and if even after adjusting the gap the problem still persists please switch back to stock RE plug to confirm if bike is back in rpm range gap for iridium - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cOGSWMMnTDI.html gap for stock - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EnMukroeGbY.html Cheers :)
