With an RE, pretty much anything can be good or go wrong right after getting delivered.

But jokes apart. Start off by checking the documents for valid insurance and what not, check for clean papers. Secondly, make sure the wiring of the bike is in tact, which is a tell tale sign to know if the bike has been abused. Too much exposed, shoddy and taped wiring would mean a potential problem later. Secondly, the general PDI follows here, lights, brakes, engine, tires all much be checked to satisfaction, MAINLY BATTERY before taking the keys.

Finally and importantly, make sure the service record was followed by the prev owner, and replace engine oil if necessary, if the previous owner didn't. Warranty does play a big role when it comes to Royal Enfield. Warranty is applicable when periodic services are followed and logged in the owners manual.

That's pretty much it.

Also, Check for Chassis carefully for crack or repair.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

The 3rd service of 10k km / 12 months has come up and looking at the list of R ( parts to be replaced ) seems this is going to an expensive one . I feel there are just too many parts that are noted to be replaced

What's the usual cost of this service ? Unfortunately it's either service cost or warranty. Since warranty is for 2 years.

The third service shouldn't cost more than 1900 approximately including oil, lubing, washing et cetera. Don't bother about the replacement chart, stick to the basics. The quote "Why Fix Unless Broken" goes hand in hand for this motorcycle.

I completely agree. But since it clearly mentions that it needs replacement in manual, these guys might just say it will impact warranty if not done as per manual. Let's see anyway will go for it this time as loosing 12 months warranty isn't a small thing. Else I wanted to quickly shift to Motul 5100. Removing Evap has anyway made the engine a tad smoother and responsive even after 100km/hr. But my sweet spot now is around 80-90

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Guys I've been having having problems with the Royal Enfield showroom in Shillong, when I bought the bike 2 months ago I got a bent handlebar and bent gear lever. They gave me a new gear lever but they haven't changed my handlebar. I went to the showroom several times but they kept on saying that there is no stock, earlier I went to get a screw for my windshield but they said that they didn't have that either and the workshop is in really bad condition too.

First off, why was the handlebar and the gear lever bent on a new bike? Aren't you supposed to do a proper PDI before taking the delivery?
Secondly, drop a detailed e-mail to Royal Enfield regarding these issues and the condition of the showroom. They should be able to take care of it.

Was the bend in a brand new bike or you did you happen to fall in your bike bending your handlebar and gear lever?

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

HI mates
About the services .
the chain is supposed to be removed at 10 kkm. Obviously it has to be done around this ( mine is washed up at 11) .
The same for the air filter , not necessary is some cases
BUT
You can find a DID Xring chain with reinforced sprockets , not so expensive. Will last at least twice more if you do not grease it too much !!!
and alose a Kand N washable air filter ,will last the life of the bike if you clean it carefully.

will do it on mine

in which case, your bike should have been damaged during transit or during PDI by the guys at the SVC. But, why didn't you thoroughly check the bike before signing the cheque. You are entitled to ride the bike, check if everything is fine, and then give the final OK for purchase, I am surprised how you missed it then, and now you're able to find it. Eitherways, you can try asking them to claim it under warranty, but I highly suspect they will consider it as a faulty part because you already rode the bike for such long without informing them in the first place. They'll recommend you to claim it under warranty.

Nonetheless, keep your observations posted.

Cheers!
