Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Hi all! Today, I tried to remove the tank of my bike to install mobile charger. I saw in many videos there are two hoses under the tank, one for EVAP & another for water overflow drainage. But in my bike(BS6), I saw only EVAP hose. There is no overflow hose. But there is an outlet under the tank for it. Is that how it is supposed to be in the bs6 models?

Hope everyone is doing good in this difficult times.. last week i took my bike out for a spin and noticed MIL lights remains on all the time on m himalayan BSIV bought on sept 2019 so i took it to the ASC and suddenly lights went off asa i reached ASC.. LOL ! Even after multiple On/OFF and small spin here and there MIL lights did not turn on.. but it started again from last 2-3 days so i followed KARAMKAZE MOTO videos to verify the code and the code which i received was 4 long 5 short as per some guides found online it suggests 02 sensor circuit malfunction.. just in case if it is O2 sensor will RE honor under warranty although i have clocked 17.5k kms but i have premium extended warranty if not how much do they charge to replace..

This is what i discovered online..
MIL BLINK CONTENT

Engine will start but not perform to its potential. MIL will glow continuous

LONG 0 SHORT 6 Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) circuit malfunctioning

LONG 0 SHORT 9 Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) circuit malfunctioning

LONG 1 SHORT 1 Engine oil Temperature (TE) circuit malfunctioning

LONG 1 SHORT 7 O2 Sensor circuit malfunctioning

LONG 4 SHORT 5 O2 Sensor heater circuit malfunctioning


Engine will NOT Start but will crank. MIL will glow continuous

LONG 3 SHORT 3 Injector circuit malfunctioning

LONG 3 SHORT 7 Ignition Coil circuit malfunctioning

LONG 4 SHORT 1 Fuel Pump circuit malfunctioning

LONG 6 SHORT 6 Crankshaft position circuit malfunctioning

I am amazed to see the same on my bs6 Himalayan! The overflowing tube is nowhere to be seen.
i today pulled the tank to clean the the engine from top and noticed the same.
Did they forget to put during assembly? Only Enfield has the answer

Hey people, hope you're in good health.
My 2021 Himalayan had clocked 5k kms. I've decided to ditch the official SVC s and will be maintaining it myself with the help of local mechanics. Did the oil change myself and put in motul 5100 15w50. I felt the engine is quieter and the biggest difference is in the smoother great shifts.
Anyway, I dipped the air filter in soapy water to clean it, reading on the internet that it could be done. Once it dried up I installed it and the Bike's running fine. Didn't I ruin the air filter? The paper element inside the filter looks fine to me, though I feel something's wrong. I won't do this again and it's not recommended right? I'm a noob so your inputs would be helpful to me. Yet I've seen enough of the SVCs to not want to go there again.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan



Hi, I just bought the Himalayan on 1st Jan 2019 after doing lots of research. The bikes under my consideration were 1. Dominar 400, 2. Himalayan, 3. Interceptor. Obviously, I was going to spend my "Hard Earned" & wanted a clear winner this time as last year when I bought Gixxer SF it was always in my mind that I could go for NS200 or maybe Apache 200. I managed to take all these 3 Motorcycles for a long test ride (50-70 kms) I first took the Interceptor & I was amazed by its refinement & performance. So far, the Best RE Product. The bike is capable of doing High Speed (130-140) cruising all day long & can smoke any other motorcycle that we see on Highways in terms of acceleration or top speed. However, I came to feel the lack of Adventure Tourer Stance & Practicality. Moreover, I wanted a motorcycle ASAP & waiting period for Interceptor in my city is 4 Months. Next Day I took Himalayan for a spin. Coming from a 150-160 CC segment, the power delivery & torque output felt at par. In the second gear, as soon as I opened the throttle, I was at 80 km/h in no time. This was not expected from Himalayan. I spent more time on it & Himalayan started to grow on me. Did a fair bit of off-roading & it was a piece of cake for it. I was comfortably doing 120-125 km/h on the Highways & Himalayan still a lot of breath left for quick overtakes & felt like I'm utilizing just the 70-75% power of it. I quickly decided a winner for me because this was what I needed. During long rides, the cruising speed I require is 110 km/h & that's what is safe for Indian roads. I came back to the dealership & booked the Himalayan. Next day, I still had a doubt in my mind that shall I go for the Dominar as it's Rs.20+ thousand cheaper, comes with 5-year warranty, 5-free services, 5 years 0-dept insurance (Free of cost). I went to the Bajaj dealership & asked for a Long Test Ride. Fortunately, they were able to provide me with a long test ride that too without a pillion. As I started my ride, the Dominar wanted me to just rev it up & do quick acceleration. The bike is quite rev-happy & can do wonders in terms of acceleration & top speed. But wait, is that the same feeling that I got on the Interceptor? Is this what I needed? I took the same route for Dominar that I took for the Himalayan. I felt it had lack of comfort on broken patches & off-road. However, it's a superb Handler on the road. The speeds I was doing on the Highway was 120-130 it was quite comfortable. So, the question came, what did I exactly need? Does Himalayan justify the premium of 20K extra over Dominar? So my answer is "Yes it does". The build quality, that feels to last longer, after-sale support of Royal Enfield compared to Bajaj, extra-features like the gear shift indicator, ambient temperature display, compass, tall windshield & the biggest one the ride comfort. The Himalayan is a true adventure-tourer that I really wanted. It is an SUV on 2-wheels. In terms of performance, Adventure Tourers are not meant for Quick Acceleration, revving the engine till deadline. How many times do you do a drag race? I came back from my Test ride & was confident about my decision. The BS4 Himalayan is quite reliable, I came to know about that from sources & now I believe it is. I also read this comparison blog in which Himalayan is compared to Versys 300 & BMW G310GS. You know what? Himalayan is a winner there as well.

Pick Himalayan & you wont regret.
