Stilllll waaaiiittting on more videos, info, and availability date....

The ONLY thing that caused me concern was the highway cruising capabilities of the Himalayan! EVERYTHING ELSE was PERFECT! PLEASE make the engine and "performance mods" videos an URGENT PRIORITY? Why else would the biking community be so eager for a 650cc version? Cheaper power options would make this bike even more desirable!

Thanks for your great comments. I know this may sound too good to be true, but it does work and we have the testing results to prove it. We are not trying to sell you some Gimmick part here. It is no mystery as when RE designed this motor this is probably the design BHP figures they had. For various reasons like most manufactures they have to restrict the motors performance. We have simply gone back to what this part was probably designed like when the motor was on the drawing board. I case you have not guessed the new part is a de restricted (not high performance) cam shaft. We have a lot of experience in making these camshafts for several Euro 4 bikes as the stock cams are severely restricted for several reasons. WHY NOT A BIG BORE KIT ? YES -that would look like the obvious route especially if familiar with the previous generation RE motors. But you would be wrong. We looked hard at the stock and big bore motors data and it is obvious that the motor cannot breathe properly at higher RPM. Look at the many posted dyno runs yourself. After further work we found the lack of breathing was not the normal culprits of air intake and exhaust, or even the EFI tune. But the problem was the camshaft was simply not allowing the motor to breath correctly. Hence we have designed a new camshaft that will keep the low speed torque , but also allows the motor to breath and perform correctly at higher RPM. Why has nobody done this, again several reasons. The main reason being stock cam does not have enough material to simply regrind the base circle to gain any real benefit, as the lift, timing, duration and overlap all needed to be changed. So we had to make a cam from steel billet and do all of the R& D required to make it work. Again due to the cam design this is not as simple as it sounds . Production cams being made now and we hope to have them ready for the end of the year. But like almost everybody in UK manufacturing, our cam maker has a large workload at the moment and working during Covid restrictions has delayed everything. So if you are reading this PLEASE don't ask to pre order or ask when they will be ready. We will get them on our web shop as soon as we can, I promise !

Really looking forward to see the next video! Hopefully you’re on schedule for the end of the year release! Cheers and keep up the great work you do!

Interesting work going on. Thanks for the vid, and looking forward to the update!

These videos are really good, I like the style, relaxed and genuine.

Glad to see you’ve been hard at work, keep it up! 👍🏻

Very interested, and I think that I’m not alone. 20% increase in power is all the bike needs. I look forward to the next VID on this. Thanks for teasing us. Hope is all we need :-)

Jesus Pete, dude! You tease me with an "inexpensive mod" that will boost power 20%, and then tell me I have to wait until the end of the year for you to debut the video about the product?? BTW, LOVING my Himalayan! Also, LOVING your exhaust for the 650's Hope to get an Interceptor in the spring, and the first thing it's getting is one of your 2 into 1 exhaust systems! Cheers from the US.

This is great for me I’ll be getting the scram in a couple of weeks and I’ll be making most of these changes, I’ll be getting in touch soon then, thanks for taking time to explain the mods

Awesome video. You are an engineer who knows when it is better to go with existing options and perhaps most importantly, when a backyard mechanic fix is perfectly fine.

Great to hear a new cam will sort this out! Same situation on the 900cc T100 cams then. I fitted a EJK controller on my classic 500 I had laying around and made it a lot nicer to ride, similar to the booster plug. Hope to see the cams out soon!

Excellent, thank you. May still buy one.

Good stuff guys!

The Himalayan is underpowered for motorways and dual carriageways but it is designed for unpaved roads, so no-one should complain. The power output is perfect for rough surfaces, and the engine is quite torquey bottom and mid-end.

Planning to stay tuned to keep on top of what your future plans/products are. 👍 Subscribed.

Three good points: Those GG Front brake pads, Replace the chain with a high quality one and that rust preventer spray- Good stuff, thanks

Got a set of the TEC bar risers on my Himmi now. Great mod, good quality at very reasonable price.

Nice video. I went one tooth up on the front and to save buying a new chain, went one down on the back. Will cruise along happily at 80+ (5Krpm) now!! Aftermarket air filter, Lextek exhaust (baffle in) and NGK iridium plug has possibly helped too! I'll be buying some EBC GG pads off you very soon too! Thanks for the good advice!

I’ll see you in December.

Nice video, like all the mods. Could you clarify/show how you fitted the bar-end mirrors/cuffs in your next update. I have a 2020 Himalayan with M8 inserts in the handles bars. The mirror end caps use M6 bolts. Did you drill the end caps? Thanks.

Hi George... I managed to buy a cam.. Happy days... Just wondered what chain you fitted with the new 16 tooth sprocket? Thanks.. Keep up the good work!

I love my Himalayan and am looking forward to the power upgrade!

Interested in changing front sprocket to 16 teeth, but certainly need more power. Intrigued by your designed camshaft. Waiting for updates!

Thanks a lot! Спасибо!

Have been a Royal Enfield motorcycle owner since 2005. Had riden their old 1981 iron die cast models where the gear and clutch pedals were in opposite positions. (lol..thats another story) Currently riding a 2013 Thunderbird 500. In all these years the only problem which i find RE has, is to give its motorcycles the right amount of power. The Himalayan is a fantastic bike, but i along with many of my friends in India wished it had a little bit more power with compatible torque figure.

Does the new cam obviate the Booster Plug at low rpm?

Hi there, are you planning on doing similar modifications for the new Euro 5 model?

This Vid has me chomping at the bit! Any news on the mods to the Himalayan? Desperate to know😉

At last a bloke who can talk propa im really fancying a himalayan is the next video out or have ah missed it all the best

Can't wait to see your power boosting solution, I've been toying with a Hitchcocks big bore kit but really not a fan of materially changing the engine. I imagine there must be power there with the fuel mix to be gained with it being euro 4/6 & designed for markets with lower quality fuels.

Love my RE. waiting for the Upgrades PLEEEEEEESE. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just found your vid re performance upgrade of the Himalayan, is there any news on release of this please!

Do you have a part number for the EBC brake pads? Thanks

Hope you are all well, and come out of lock down soon. But, please give us something (video) to keep our morale. Love from the States.

Any news on the upgrade for Himmi ?

Will the new cam work with the latest version of the Himalayan ?

Any idea if/when your USA online store will be selling Himalayan parts? My wife just got one, and I'm seriously considering replacing my 2014 CRF250L with one as I'm wanting more of an adventure bike than a dual sport nowadays.

I’m looking for the video on the cam etc ... is it gonna be at the end of 2021.. ????

I keep bolting more bling onto my Himalayan, lol.... Iooking forward to a few more horses to help me power through the madness and get up that next hill.

TEC BP, what do you torque the head down to?

Nice vid George xden

Any word on the camshaft for the Himalayan?

Hello, constructive video, congrats. Two notes: speed is not an issue to fix, it is reset of social biker's perspective to "enjoy landscape" mode. Second, more practical, wind deflectors are cheap and work on top of windshield. Please do more videos, thanks.

First time my bike fell over it bent the gear lever. Have you got any further with designing one with a folding tow bar? Can’t see one on the site.

Hi, I am considering to buy a motorcycle and Royal Enfield is my first, however I am little confused between classic 350 and Himalayan. I have to take such bikes which I can do in day today life, this is my first bike and can also go on tour. Whose maintenance cost is not too much and mileage is also good.

what model bar-end mirrors are you using? Id like to do the same as I have hand gaurds as well.

Will the camshaft be available here in the U.S.?

We are still waiting for promised upgrade......any news?

Hi would the mod fit a 2021 euro 5 Himalayan ?

Royal Enfield is on a roll. The following models up for launch in the next 12-24 months - Classic Roadster Shotgun Hunter Sherpa Scram Flying Flea and An Electric Motorcyle Hopefully you will work on a few of them once they're launched. Also BSA will be launching its 650cc motorcycle by the end of the year.

Please post dyno numbers of the new cam. 20% should be ~ 30hp. I bet you get another 3-5hp from upping the compression to 10:1.

Love your mirrors and hand guards! Brand?

So any update on this cam?

I took the daft upper front mudguard off, now I can fit a toolroll

Any news on this mod? 🤔

Very interested in the power increase mod. Sitting on the fence about getting a Himalayan.

Any update please???

Off topic a bit,but any one know where I can get those bar end mirrors from that will fit over my hand guards ? Cheers

when's the "20% more power part" coming out? Thank you.

Hi, I've got a question. The handlebar end mirrors that you mounted on the himalayan. Are the original Enfield mirrors or from a third party? Excuse my bad English. I am an old man from Germany. Glückauf, Oppa Uddo

How much for supply and fit ?

19:50 what headers are you using?

Does your new Mod use the Booster plug and air filter or do I bin those?

Seat concepts makes a seat 1.5 inches taller and with a denser foam for longer rides

Love the goldie-lookin-chain. I’m tired of adjusting the OEM chain. What brand & pitch count? Thanks.

Hitchcocks offer a 462cc piston upgrade, will that work with the cam upgrade you offer? Not sure an 20% increase in bhp is enough, that would be about 28bhp, and with other bikes in this range having between 34-43 I would want at lest 34bhp if not 38! I want to be able to cruise all day at 75 and still have power to overtake up to 90 quickly!

Still awaiting a video regarding this cam upgrade

Ok guys... here’s the deal. My bike is in France and I go back out there in early December. Hence “around Christmas time” for the 20% booster is simply not good enough. You need to step on the gas please! 🤣 Plus I have the best roads and off road in Europe to test it on! The Alps Maritime. Hence I should get priority.

George, or anybody, do you know if the rims are tubeless compatible? Now everyone is going to come back at me with don't you know you have to have alloy wheels you eejiot? But my Interceptor and the Intercontinental both have spoked rims that are tubeless compatible. So, seal the rims and mount tubeless tires and forget about punctures, more or less.

Thank's for the video, it's always good to be able to see what people are doing with the Hmmy. I do however need to take issue with your statement about it struggling to keep up with traffic as this is just not true and is misleading. I have owned my Himmy for two years now and never have i struggled to keep up with traffic as it will crack along at 60 all day long and in fact, with the excellent handling and torquey engine is a hoot in the lanes where it will keep up with any traffic doing the legal limit which when all said and done is 60mph. As for overtaking, yes you sometimes need to be a bit canny with that and no, you are not going to get passed on the Himmy in marginal situations where a more powerful machine would do it with ease so, i'll give you that. I regularly cruise the bike at 70+ without any fuss (it may struggle against a v. strong headwind at that though) and will top a genuine 80mph, not bad for a 24.5 bhp. engine. I will say that the Himmy's best speed is in the 50 to 60 mph. range where it is really comfortable to use. As for the stalling issue, yes, there does seem to be something going on there. My bike used to stall but now never does and will start from cold and go straight to idle while i close the workshop doors so, it's not all Himmy's that have the problem. My bike by the way is totally standard and at still has at, 5,000 miles the original plug. As for doing a distance on it well, that's down to the needs, likes, want's of the individual rider isn't it? Granted, it's not a GS (my other bike by the way) but it does very well over distance but, the seat isn't that great i have to say. Last year i took my Himmy the 120 miles to the ABR Adventure Bike Festival, loaded with all my camping gear it was a delight to ride and i took great pleasure in working with the bike to get the best from it. When at the venue i took the Himmy out on one of the TRF's ride out outs where it performed as well as anything else there then i belted it round the 4K off road track 3 times taking in all the "experts" sections ( i binned it big time on one) and it just lapped it up, nothing broke and it took me back home again, no bother :) Didn't mean to bang on, sorry :) The Himmy is a damn fine bike but, i will agree some of the mods. you suggest can and will improve it. Oh. yes, the front brake is shit and i will be putting EBC pads in :) Cheers.

Sorry about the sound, (hence part sub titles). The joy of Summer living in the peaceful English countryside with crazy birds, hailstones and chainsaws

...it's almost Christmas... please release the promised FIX ! Thanks

Also, would the booster plug work in Australian? Being warmer climate?

Is it possible for someone to either send you a new Himalayan and have all these mods done or buy a new modded bike from you?

So, can anyone comment on the fuel modification needs of a more efficient cam? Being that the cam increases the engine's breathing efficiency quite a bit (more air in), I would assume something must be done to supply the additional fuel as well. So, does the cam necessitate a Power Commander, or the like, with a custom map, or does the MAP sensor compensate and allow the ECU to use a different area of the stock look up tables to supply the requisite fuel to compensate for the additional airflow?

So? Any news?

I am intrigued to know what you have done, I sold my Himalayan recently due to the lack of power. I only took it on the motorway once and that was enough, I do miss it and if you have got the answer to the lack of power then that might be the holy grail for this bike.

Intently watching

20 percent increase that is 5 more BHP. Can u share links of the parts you used.

Guys, I'm dying waiting. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....

Would you ship to Mexico? 😁😎

I've sort of got the feeling the development of the 650cc twins have taken priority and the project camshaft upgrade on the Himalayan has been shelved for whatever reason,. That's probably why TEC Parts aren't giving any replies to potential customer inquires.? Either that or maybe the product has failed on the test bike and they are working on a solution.? It would be nice to know what exactly is happening.!!!

The cam man i need the cam

FIVE MONTHS AND STILL WAITING! We are just coming out of lockdown into PERFECT bike buying and RIDING weather and this delay means any upgrades we do won't be completed until NEXT YEAR! ....Thanks! Just forget about getting stock levels up and publish your performance results and characteristics! ...THEN just take the orders like a "Hungry Hippo", instead of sitting around WAITING like a wallowing hippo!

We need some good news guys, come on and show us the cam.

Trevor Moyle Trevor Moyle 6 minutes ago Well it very much looks like Hitchcocks have now beaten Tec Bike Parts to it and have developed and produced their own camshaft, which they now have available to purchase. It's shame really I thought this would have been available from Tec Parts by now, unfortunately however we don't know how soon it will be available or for that matter if ever?, due to not getting any updates to our inquiries over the last 8-months.!!!

This is the bike I’m going to buy when we are allowed to be people again.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

A supercharged Himalayan!?

Stilll waiting

royal enfield decided this would be a bike in process.....they put it in the market and see how it started to fall apart so they could start fixing it. Let's see if in a couple of years it gets to the point where I feel safe buyiing one. It also needs more hp and a liitle bit more torque....the bajaj dominar 400 has more torque and hp and feels better on highways.

A carb would help a lot. Is it a Mikuni? These things clearly need a big bore kit, hotter cam, bigger valves, a carb, and lighter performance exhaust.

Get a 477 engine upgrade and its a perfect bike

I think a lapel mike would make your narration more discernable. It would make your voice stand out over the bird, hail and echoes off the walls. I couldn't understand you many times in this video.

Hello? Hello.....? Still on hold here....

The way I see it is, if you need all those modifications to suit your needs you are better off with another options, even with a 25 year old if what you want is mechanical simplicity. Now, if you like the model and more importantly enjoy the DIY, well, excellent then.

I would appreciate more information about the modifications soon, as I want to tell Santa Claus, and this year due to the China Virus he has to have 14 days quarantine after each delivery

I don't know where it leaves the Himalayan now that the factory has stopped making the 500 engine. In India they dropped the price to $3000 and you can buy one for that at the factory door as international sales have come to a screeching halt over warranty claims. It honestly is not worth the risk of owning an orphan. The 650 will continue.

gone strangely quiet re the new cam!!!
