I also have a Himalayan (Euro 4 model), as well as my Classic 500. Interesting to see how many parts and connections are shared between the two bikes. I'm yet to take the tank off the Himalayan but I'm looking to fit a TEC cam at some stage soon.
Well worth fitting the TEC cam. You will notice a big improvement.
Thank you for explaining the Fuel Pump that is common across most of the Royal Enfield range of bikes.
You could solve all your problems and delete the fuel injection. Theres carb kits out there for the injected versions to revert them to gravity feed carbs, back to the good old days where the only electronic bits are the dash and cd ignition i
Nice repair. It always feels better when you can utilise the parts you already have. I had problems in extreme heat with the petrol pump dying on my BMW K75 (45 degrees in central Spain). In my case it was the ECU (fuel injection brain) that was dying in the heat. Temporary fix was to get more air flow around the ECU. Then later I was able to buy a second hand unit from Ebay, which fixed the problem.
Since I fitted the other fuel pump I have had no more problems. I think the fuel in the tank and pump was getting so hot it was causing the pump to expand. Not very good quality pumps I'm afraid.
It may be worth checking if the gas tank cap vent and the valve that operate the charcoal canister are working correctly, since the problem was only present when the tank was very hot.
I did try doing it with the cap open and also took the pipe off to the cannister. Neither made any difference. I was working through the stages as process of elimination. The pumps are not very good quality.
@@iantoy7778 Yep they still need to up their quality control more, in my bike there are some parts that shouldn't have passed the QC. Atleast the pump seems to be a basic one so I guess it is possible to source a third party motor
Mine also broke when I had my 411 .Mine started playing up periodically .took it to the dealership and was fobbed of.it also put a engine management light on .2 rides later and near Preston while doing lands end to john o grotes it finally packed up.royal enfield road assistance wasn't much help .long story short I had to pay to get my bike returned to Devon once fixed.
To be honest of the 3 Royal Enfield's I own the best quality one is the 500 Bullet. It's made far better and stronger than any of the newer ones. I was surprised at it's quality.
That kind of heat can’t be good for a bike. I imagine the fuel is expanding in the tank, making it difficult for the pump to function. You might consider getting one of those silver insulating blankets and cutting out covers to fit your tanks. Add a few magnets in the corners and put them on the bikes if you have to park in the sun. Should be able to fold the covers up and carry them in your pocket. That may lower the temps enough to protect the pumps.
So many problems with these bikes, failed rear shocks, headstock bearings, squeaking brakes, charging circuit/flat battery, general rust problem, chain wear, engine warning light, now the fuel pump. RE is getting a similar reputation to KTM for giving grief
I must admit I do miss my Honda NC750 X for reliability, basic servicing and fuel.
@@iantoy7778 Yes, my 2015 Suzuki DR200 never misses a beat even if I leave it parked for months. The thought of finding my rear shock seized never crossed my mind.
A bit to the north of you(RO) I have the exact same issue with my BS6 Himi, so indeed I have to consider replacing the fuel pump. Do you mind sharing the place where you bought the fuel pump from? Thanks!
I have 2 new fuel pumps in my workshop. I would be willing to sell you one it you are interested. The pumps cost me 83 Euro which is approximately 412 Romanian Lei. I am travelling to Romania next Saturday. What part are you in? Alternatively I could send it with Econt for 36 Lei
Thanks for the video. On my Euro 4 there is no boot on the fuel pump electrical connector. Also there is a spring clip on the vent side ( right hand) rubber tube. The petrol used to boil in the tank of my dark grey St1300 …. Quite disconcerting. Maybe a tolerance issue on the old pump too much heat and something expanded to the point it stopped working ?
Your thoughts on the pump are the same as mine. I took the spring clip off the pipe as it was a pain to get on and off. The pipe is a tight fit and has never come off on it's own.
Just replaced mine with 8,000 miles... bought it on EBAY for 1/2 the price than from the dealer. Came from India in a OEM RE box... I thought it was my relays, replaced them and same... fuel pump..... easy repair but again quality control ?
I get my parts from India. I have another spare fuel pump on it's way. Things are built to last anymore. Those days are long gone.
