Ben, we chatted in the past about my 2021 stalling constantly when approaching idle. After 2 years of research and replacing every part that you and I could think of, I finally found the problem. I remembered my dad telling me that he replaced the decompressor cam on his 69 Harley with a manual decompressor because it was giving him problems. I could not remember the exact problem he had, but it seemed like it was a stalling issue. My Himmy when at idle or approaching idle would pop and then die especially during de-acceleration. So I said I have nothing else to try so I will replace the cam. So I installed the Kent High Performance cam and thank God, no more stalling. Upon inspection the small spring on the original cam was too long and the decompressor had been just flopping around and rattling from the day I bought it. No wonder it was dying. If anyone is suffering with stalling near idle you might consider just upgrading the cam. Get rid of the decompressor. The power increase alone is worth the upgrade, but you will get rid of the de-compressor rattle along with any stalling at idle issues you may have.
Thanks for taking the time to video this install. I've had my tech cam in for quite a few thousand miles now and I noticed the difference, not massive but a more balanced power delivery especially in the mid range. I look forward to your findings. Ride safe
Thank you for the upload Ben. I have just purchased a Lake Blue Himalayan, and a TEC cam is on the way. I have been looking forward to this upload! Thank you from Texas USA!
@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN will do! The bike is used with 5900 miles (9500 kms) and it will be ridden gently for a few weeks until the cam arrives. Do you see any issue with that? Thank you for the quality video and reply
Did this cam on my bike as well. It seems to pull a little better then it did before, nothing drastic tho. Top end also slightly noisier then before. I had to raise the idle speed a little bit as well. I was trying to go for more midrange, not to sure yet if I got it have to run it in some more so time will tell.
I fitted the Hitchcocks stage 1 cam, the one that is the reprofiled STD cam with the standard decompressor, to my BS3 and it works fine. A noticeable, worthwhile improvement.
Hi Ben & Mo' ... you guys did a really good job. A quick question... since fitting the new cam, do you need to load a custom 'map' to the ECM to match the new cam profile (to optimise spark timing, fuel & air mix)?
the map that we both run on our powertronic piggy back is custom . most of it is advance 3-5 degrees through out the rev range and the fuel ratio is also up by 5-10 % almost 80% of the throttle operations. so never felt like the bike needed a new map. Zero hiccups . but can i tune the PT to make a custom map to suit the new lift and operation , for sure i can . i am planning on taking the bike to a dyno facility about 350 kms from my place.
@@sergeantc6122 too tight inlet or exhaust valve . .08-.09 mm inlet and .22-.24 exhaust valve clearance. Pls get it done from an expert . Looks easy . But one needs sufficient experience to understand the right RESISTANCE/ GRAB
@@ONTWOWHEELSBENturns out I was one tooth off on my timing chain. I just took it all back apart, moved the chain over one tooth and put it all back together. It’s running great now. Thanks for your video man, I appreciate it.
sir pls make a detailed video about all the performance upgrades that you have done till date and kindly mention the links or contact numbers where we can buy them.very curious to know
Just after i ordered mine, you posted the video that you got one aswell... I wanted to do some other changes first and now its time to install it with the help of your video! As soon as i found somebody to borrow me a Torque wrench Because i'm far from home Hope it goes well! its the first time for me opening an engine except the Valve covers...
Hi Ben Thanks for sharing. I assume this camshaft will allow more air to be inserting to the engine Cylinder by allowing the valves to open for longer time on each combustion cycle. and in that case I believe you need to change the map you are using in order to allow the ECU to inject more fuel . Otherwise you will go too lean ( especially on low RPM's ) correct? BTW - don't call it Ben For God's sake ... give it a name of its own like the Black Rhino or H.B for Honey badger indicating it's tough personality 😉
Bro just curious. Have you trained with Himalayan as a royal Enfield crew. You are doing some extremely technical things which a normal person won't dare to do. Or may be you are a mech engineer. Kindly shed some light abt your technical knowledge of bikes.🙏 Also if we have knowledge, can a single person do it all by himself or we need an extra hand for helping
These TEC camshafts are garbage and are an underdeveloped products made by people who don't know what they are doing. You need to think very carefully about what you are doing before installing one.

The earlier you fit in the cam the better the internals will synchronise. So do it asap . 😊

How has it got grit under the rocker cover? Excellent video
Very informative, thank you Ben
My pleasure!
Hi Ben,
I have a cam with me now in India. How do I get the fueling adjusted on the stock carb? Any links to Jets or jet sizes you can recommend?
It isint made for the carbed version . It is not just fueling . It’s more to do with the ignition timing . Kindly double check with the vendor
Nice one Ben! Thanks for the video and all the information. Thinking maybe spring of 24.
Be well.

hi ben can we fit the cam on bs3 models as well
BS4 and BS6 only
No

Could you share the link of torque wrench you has been used 22:32
3-15 NM

How does it perform ? Reviews?
Does it worth Ben compared to stock?
Yes
Nice cam but haven't been able to buy one in the US ?
Strange .
hope you didnt forget the half style circlip or whatever it is which you removed at 9.59 in the video... great video though 👌
No , we haven’t .

This is amazing info thanku so much
Hello man, it's possible remove the descompressor from original camshaft?
@@eduardodemattos4250 yes , by grinding it off
Did you use the Permatex ultra Black or the fast cure product?
Ultra black
Does the valve clearance change with the new cam?
No .
@@ONTWOWHEELSBENthanks for answering. Any idea why the bike would stall and not idle after cam upgrade?

Do you know if anyone has ever tried to use a paper gasket.🤔
in theory it should work because the top cover bolts are all 8-12 nm torque.

Holy.. they blocked the oil canal for the cam with the huge amount of sealant.

No it wasn’t a washer . Pls watch again
sorry, my mistake@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN
I don't know why RE hasn't taken any effort to get it done or care to genuinely answer about the noise!
These TEC camshafts are garbage and are an underdeveloped products made by people who don't know what they are doing. You need to think very carefully about what you are doing before installing one.
I truly don’t know about the engineering aspects of the camshaft . Can you pls elaborate on why you call it garbage .
