That’s kind of you . Glad that these videos help fellow bikers

Ha ha .. bound to happen brother . We have the same steed and pretty much have similar riding preferences and also have KZfaq channels 😆😆😆

Thanks again!

Curious, how did things go? I just bought a classic 350 and it has a bit of a rattle after heating up, still under 300 miles, hasn't had its first service yet.

Thanks again!

Thanks 👍

Thanks

Can i do this without prior checking on the whole tensioner? Just so you know i did what you did and it became a whole lot SILENT but i'm kinda worried if im putting too much tension to the extent im damaging the timing chain? Keep in mind mine just ran about 4,000km and the reason i followed your video is that I am bothered with the noise it is making on the left side of the engine which is more likely the timing chain noise.

@@marcocalilung4511 there is a way you can determine the additional pressure being applied. Look for the no of grooves / notches that are sticking out on the ratchet rod before you insert a spacer . And then insert spacer and put the tensioner back and go for a nice quick ride ( high rpm’s included) . Now open the unit and count the additional notches that are sticking out . 1-2 notches more is nothing for you to worry about . Ideal is 1 . If it is 2 then ride the bike in a soft manner for atleast 100 kms ( just a guess) or more so that things align gradually.

Also this is an alternative if you cannot procure a new spring but have to buy a whole new tensioner unit . Also the right spacer compensates for loss in spring pressure ( compared to a new one ) .

Get a TINKEN lithium based grease

Sorry Timken

Buy the interceptor tensioner 470₹ I guess and take the spring from that and use in the tensioner of the Himalayan

Hello! could you tell what kind of noise did you have on your Himi before? Was it a tic-tic noise or a sort of metallic friction/ vribration?

That may be time engine problem. Check and conform

@@marzadmuhammad5212 Replaced the timing chain as well the tensioner and the issue still persists.

Might be the auto decompression mech on the cam, the retaining spring fails and you get a ticking noise.

Hey bro is your problem resolved ? how do you fix the ‘tik tik’ noise , this same problem im facing with my himalayan BS6

​@@siddhantingole1222 what about yours?

The tic . The metallic vibration can be a lot of different things

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN for sure! But what about you?! What sort of noise did you have?

Not sure yet brother .

take it to SC or a good mech .

Hi Paul , I will def check with a brand new Himalayan and revert . Also yes a ball bearing will be perfect .

I put 2 ball bearing of 4.5 mm . It is ok ?

Yes you will have to re align the cross bar that holds the tank guard and also realign the stay on to which the speedo console is mounted.

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN thanks a lot buddy.. you have always been helpful

Yes friend , I should have but it’s a minute difference in noise in my case and the camera microphone doesn’t capture it .

take it to a welder. 2 mins job for him to remove the jammed nut. or buy a new timing chain tensioner set. 450 rs

New chain tensioner . Can’t buy gasket separately.

yes , very much a possibility. loose rocker arms cause a lot of noise and should be replaced immediately . But what you refer to as a knock is a vast topic highly misunderstood.

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN the guy showed me the rocker arm, and also showed me the camshaft, camshaft shaft had some marks which according to the mechanic was coz of the loose rocker, he asked me to get both things changed, what should i do, because the knocking sound is very loud.

@@as7635 yes change both

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN okay bro, thanks

Yes

Thanks mate.

could you share the link?

The components inside the engine have higher tolerances , that’s why . This is the nature of the engine . DO NOT WORRY.

how is it? is it still noisy?

@@marcocalilung4511 no... They fixed it 😁

Yes . We get the whole tensioner unit and not the spring .

Yes I am. same name

Same name
