    Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

    Thank you for greetings, mates
    In fact i did not do a job : the mechanics doest it, he is good , former working for KTM racing team , now retired in countryside places.
    I know a lot about spokes and will take care of it . Even if I am not so light( around 84 ) , the load will be less than 15 .
    On this well done himmie, it will be OK .
    And do not worry anyway, I am not leaving EU this time.
    Maybe next year with a pal towards eastern Russia , or , if am strong minded enough , ride and meet you guys ?
    It might be possible through Iran with maybe a boat afterwards ... a kind of reverse of

      From what I know the exhaust pipe is in stainless steel.

        That's great, VF. I do follow Ms. Itchy Boots too, her videos are extremely hands-on and not to mention Basanti.

        Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
        The girl said, 'NO!'


        And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

          Hello Himalayan owners!!!
          I was hoping if anyone can give some insight on how good the bike is for 2019 and beyond.
          It obviously didn't start nicely but with the new model, I guess it's on the good track.
          I own a P220 and comtemplating the idea of getting a bigger yet practical bike to live with.

            The thread is hardly 150 pages. 10 pages a day, you should read the entire ownership in 15 days maximum. Piece a cake? That should yield you all the information you require.

              The point is that you need to let the air or whatever ( in boat races , there is a special cooling system for the exhaust or on a jet plane )
              cool the air around the pipe , so a titanium is nice but will cost more than the bike ;
              and this tape will not so this job . in this case . On this bike .

                  Hello Folks,

                  Owning a 2018 Himalayan BS4 ABS model which I bought on December 2018, as of now rode 12.5k Kms. Wonderful machine to trip on. Just wanted to know one thing. Planing to upgrade to LED Indicator bulbs. Want to know what is the Fit for the Bulb. Is it straight fit or cross fit for the bulb. If possible, please any one post the pic of the Indicator bulb from the back side of the, so that I can understand it is a Straight fit or cross fit.

                  Your response to this is highly appreciated on this. Please try and respond as quickly as possible. Thank you.

                    No LED bulbs are a direct fit to the Himalayan indicators. They are 10w holder type bulbs and LEDs are mostly one piece construction or press fit types. You can install after market LED indicators with a little jugaad. Also, remember, LED indicators require a different flasher relay than the stock one.

                    Cheers!

                            I do believe it’s the simplest & most effective option for long rides. I’d spent some good amount of time & money on trying out options like memory foam padding, etc before getting the air seat.

                            Look no further. Give yourself time to adjust to the slightly raised posture & finding the correct air pressure once you start using them. The bonus is that you can adjust the air level on the go while on rides that span a few days for better butt comfort.

                            Headlight: The addition of a switch is only half the problem solved - the dismal headlight performance would remain the same.

                            I switched over to a LED bulb from a trusted source. Cost me 3k but it improved the light throw + brightness tremendously & no worries about impact on battery charge.

                            Both of the above changes were done when odo was at 9000km. Still running with a smile at 14000km.

                            Hope this helps!
                            Which led bulb did you use?

                              thats a BA15S/1156 base, if its for the indicators then it should be ba9s base.
