Hi sorry for the delay in reply, been traveling.
Any zero dep plan from showroom comes with 5 years Tp by default that's what I was told by my dealer ( Soniya motors Bhandup ) whichever plan you opt for you get 5 years Tp along by default . 1 year zero dep + 5 years Tp for 19k and 5 years zero dep + 5 years Tp 29k

I've also done same thing while Purchasing mine Himalayan Sleet ABS on August 16th..

Got my first service done yesterday..
Done some minor changes...
- Added crash guard from HDT CUSTOMS
- Rear saddles from Zana
- Flasher unit from Simtec
- Dual Horns from Hella
- Handle bar raiser (added original)

PLANNING on getting
- Tank protector (coating)for tank bag protection,
- LED indicator replacement (Simtec ones didn't fit as they were bit longer will use it on my Karizma)
- Auxiliary lights
- knuckle guard


Any suggestions do let me know...
Is there any WhatsApp group ??

Hey ashutosh,
How much did you pay for the insurance with the above criteria opted(5years-[OwnDamage+ThirdParty] & Zero depreciation)?

If possible can you attach the bike showroom's quotation slip?

Hi All, This is going to be my very first and long post in this thread so please ignore mistakes/error.
I was in search for bike for daily commute 60km to and fro and occasional long ride to Konkan and Goa and wanted pillion comfort as my wife doesn't like street sporty bikes most of which has forward leaning seat so I didn't have much options other than ( Jawa, Dominar, Himalyan and interceptor 650 )

I test rode jawa and himalyan back in May 2019 and booked it instantly and thought to wait as dealer said this has long waiting period and I had a bike which I thought would go for few more month beside I liked jawa as well due to body to weight ration and other features, fast forward to August 2019
Recently avenger started to give lot of problems and I started to lose my patience because jawa is not gonna get delivered before 2020 or later so I started my lookout again for new bike and after digging internet and research found out there are few ( Dominar 2019, Himalyan 2019 and brand new Re Int 650 from Enfield )

Being 5.3 I was pretty sceptical about taking test ride of these bikes as these are bigger bikes, stands taller and heavy. I have been using friends avenger street 150 for almost an year so had zero exp with big bikes but anyway I decided to try and test ride these bikes, so I visited ( RE showroom Soniya motors at Bhandup ) and asked for test ride they gave me Himalayan, I took my wife as pillion and test rode for 1-2km as we were late and it was peak traffic hours so couldn't test rode properly but my wife felt comfortable as a pillion and we decided to come back early another day and asked if I could get long test ride for which they agreed so decided to come back on off day but while returning my wife noticed Int 650 there and liked it alot.
So I thought to test ride that as well and I did it next day for almost 5-6 km in traffic, open stretch and oh boy that bike roared being shorter I didn't find it difficult to ride at all even in traffic and I was completely sold but I knew this is not the bike for me because parking and putting on main stand won't be cakewalk as well as a friend ( proud int 650 and GT 535 owner ) suggested to not get int650 if my priority is pillion comfort, so I dropped that plan and continued to stick to Himalayan in between I test rode Domi 2019 but my wife completely decline to test ride that as a pillion so dropped that plan and I took another test ride of himalyan and rode for almost few kms didn't find it difficult to handle/maneuver but gear was hard to shift Maybe due to TR vehicle but anyway I went ahead and booked ( Himalyan Sleet Abs 2019 ) it with lot of confusion whether to go for it or not and honestly I'm still confused even after making 80% payment.
But anyway nothing can be done since payment made so I thought learn to ride and live with it and hope to not regret my decision. Anyway, I decided to not buy insurance from dealer and buy it separately but here's the catch dealer said I'll have to handover insurance copy to them before registeration then they will be able to go for registration but every insurance website I have been checking for insurance is asking for registration date few of insurance provider doesn't even have option for " himalyan abs 411cc" most of them just shows STD Petrol 411CC so not sure if I chose STD Petrol 411CC then my worry is, would it cover my bike because it's ABS, as well as insurance is bought after registration or before and which insurance should I pick between ( comprehensive and zero dep ) and do zero dep covers TP ( sorry for Noob questions ) beside which insurance provider should I go with. It would be great help if answered and provided the amount you all paid for Insurance ( comprehensive and zero dep ) not sure if it's the right thing to ask.

one more thing I noticed other 2 Himalayan were there in their godown because they said Sleet color has arrived for the previously booked customer and I want to have a look at them but after checking both I noticed both had 2km run on tripmeter when enquired they said it's tested before getting delivered to dealer, is this true.

Hi all,
I recently bought himalyan. Went to a short 60 km trip. Did a little off-roading at night to find a camping place. Overall it was fun trip. But only concern was handling was not up to the mark for me with pillion.

When I ride alone it was just fine. Even with lighter rider it was just fine. But my friend weighs 80 kg, and even though my feet doesn't touch fully while riding alone but when he sat my feet was touching ground comfortably.

I have read and watched videos saying that pre-load adjustment is essential part while riding with pillion. And even while riding alone, depending on rider's weight. This is done by adjusting rider's sag. There is a simple method to adjust pre-load (rear mono shock) so that rider's sag comes within specified standard range.

My question is did any of you guys have tried adjusting the pre-load. The c spanner or hook spanner which can be used to adjust rear monoshock is not present in toolkit. Have to try in hardware stores wheather they have it, or does RE sell it. Please let me know your thoughts on this topic.

Thank you Vj, and yes, got Od + Tp for 5 years and added zero dep !

Thank you for your response.
How is acerbis compared to RE ones?

RE provides one for Himalayan. Is for about 2000. Check with your local dealer

Just to add on to what fellow Bhpian mentioned. It's better to go for a bundled package. For motorcycles it's compulsory 5 year third party insurance and optional own damage insurance. So, showrooms usually make it a bundled package covering both OD and TP insurance, which is a one-time upfront payment. Being a new bike, I'd strongly recommend OD insurance cover taken, as anything can go wrong and god forbid if you happen to have a crash or something, then you have to pay every single paise from your pocket to get the damages sorted, which is "expensive" by all means. You have the option of increasing or "nil" the OD damage cover. But, a nil OD damage cover is dangerous. Pick at least two years OD damage. And zero depreciation is another add on cover over these existing policies, so that will be a few hundreds to thousands more depending on the CC of the vehicle. Make sure you ask a separate quotation for insurance and the options, this will give you a clear idea as to what can be considered and you can save some money during upfront payment.

Hope it helps!

Cheers!
VJ
