Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Thank you B7ACKTHORN! So, yesterday evening got the bike from SVC. THE PROBLEM HAS SOLVED! Asked them what they did. They connected the diagnostic tool and showed me the throttle push(TP) values and it's battery voltage values and said they had slightly increased the battery voltage value in accordance with the throttle push. And also said they had removed the tank and adjusted something in the fuel injection part.

I tested the bike and it was all fine. I tested the bike today morning and the engine stalling never happened. I tested extensively taking the bike through every nook and corner in my locality, the engine cutoff never happened!

I hope it never creeps in again! I love this bike and I am happy right now!

Another thing I complained to them was this knocking sound from silencer when the bike is left stationary/parking after riding it. It's not the engine tick tick sound. It's like 'tup' you know like a sound from a tin can. It comes 4-5 times and goes off after some 4-5 minutes. They said it's due to the gas from the catalytic converter and said it's normal and nothing to worry! I hope so!

Later, I will share my thoughts about the bike and also I have some questions regarding modifications. Will post that sooner!

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

That's great! Now, even I can't fathom as to what "tweaking" they did, if all seems good, then that's all that matters, though they could have helped you in getting insight as to what specifically they did. Honestly, from what you've posted, I couldn't infer a thing or isolate to what. But, do keep a tab on the issue for a week.

Ride safe!

Cheers!

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Had the OE handlebar replaced with one from Thunderbird X -higher by 30mm and the bend comes closer to the body for a more relaxed posture.Cost Rs640 for the handlebar and Rs226 labour charges-Rs866 total

[MENTION=102876]blackspark3[/MENTION] ,my bike stalls too when cold and in slow speed riding but not as frequently as your's did -guess will get it checked up at the RE ASC if it continues to do so-completed 1250 kms yesterday in 37 days of ownership

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

ZB, can you please post a better picture of the handlebar. The image is not visible, requesting you to reupload the picture with a cockpit view. Were there any issues with the routing and cabling? Hope there was no tight spots with cables, especially accelerator and clutch cable. Would like to know more on this.

Cheers!

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

@B7ACKTHORN
Was not present at the ASC when this was done-but find no movement constraints on reverifying after your post.The cables and wiring surely does'nt look pushed/pulled-the fact that the OE trained staff did this change -infact it was suggested by the chief mechanic when i talked to him about changing position of OE handlebar as i found it to be too low especially while riding standing up.

This photos getting automatically deleted is a big problem [MENTION=39214]B7ACKTHORN[/MENTION].
HERE is another photo showing the rise of the TbX handlebar

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Thank you for reverting, and yes if it fits on the stock upper plate without a fuss and not fouling up with the movement of cables and switchgear, I reckon it's a job well done. I would love to get a better view. I mean from your view point while sitting on the bike, so that everyone can get an idea and instead of risers that are costlier than the handlebars themselves, this should come in as a quick reminder for people looking for the mod.

Thank you.

Cheers!

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for pre worshipped 2018/2019 Himalayan in Delhi. With my budget I can have only used Dominar or used Himalayan. Mind says dominar heart says Himalayan and this time I let my heart win.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Hello everyone. I've been following this thread for some time now. I had booked a BS6 Himalayan (Lake Blue) on the 19th of March which would have been delivered to me by the end of the month had normalcy prevailed. I'm from Delhi and had been looking to buy a bike for leisure (no daily commutes). After jumping from the Xtreme 200S to the FZ-25 to the Jawa 42 to the Dominar 400, I ended up choosing the Himalayan (). Why, you'd ask? I wanted a bike with versatility which is easy to ride, comfortable and could also prove to be a potent tourer on the highways and hills. I had settled on a Jawa 42 but the super low ground clearance made me rethink my decision and the powerful torque on the Himalayan sealed the deal for me. Can't wait for the world to heal and the lockdowns to be taken down.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Welcome to the boards. One thing the Himalayan does above everything is, do things at its own pace and style. No hurries, no chatphata, helps you gulp in everything passing by and with sofa like comfort, and a great riding position. Do post your ownership experience, post relaxation and when you get hold of your motorcycle.

Cheers!

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

can someone guide me how to set idle rpm on royal enfield himalayan bs6..?

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

In Classic 500 (EFI) there use to be a brass screw which is used to set the idle rpm, I would strongly suggest don't touch it.
its not advisable to fiddle with the EFI system if you don't have proper tools. Saying from personal experience.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

There is a big BRASS IDLE Screw on top of the throttle body, you turn it counter clock wise, the RPM increases, if you turn it clock wise it will reduce the RPM. You need to remove the tank and see the top of the throttle body and adjust it by turning quarter of a turn. Always adjust the idle at cold. The RPM should be set at 1150 to 1200 this way when the engine warms up, the idle will be set to 1450 to 1500. This can be done at the SVC also.

Cheers!
