Royal Enfield Himalayan New ownership
Hello folks,
Finally, I own a Royal Enfield Himalayan. After riding Vespa for 2 years and saving whatever I can, I was able to get hold of her.
Its been 1 week since I bought the Himalayan. Wanted share experience with you and gain some knowledge from you.
Delivery of the bike was nice and simple. I got a March manufactured bike. In Karnataka, vehicles manufactured from April should have HSRP number plates and there is a lot of confusion with RTO and dealers about it.
Few of the things I experienced:
1. Clutch is too hard and it is painful to ride in city traffic
2. Compass is not accurate. When I compared with mobile compass, it is showing wrong direction.
3. Heat. A lot of it
. Need to see after 1st service.
4. Exhaust which has brass texture has turned bit blackish near the engine. I hope it is normal.
5. It makes huge sound when shift gears. 1 to 2 or 2 to 1. 3-4-5 is smooth and no sound at all.
6. When I manoeuvre bike, I am getting a bit late response from it. I checked tyre air pressure, it was bit lower than the specified. Maybe that is the issue.
