    Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

    Does anyone have the BS3 and BS4 wiring diagrams? Would be really grateful if I can get hi-res scans of the same. I am at "[email protected]". Getting ready to install some aux lights and want to figure out a way to relay the headlamp so it doesn't run when engine is off.

    Pretty please?

    Thank you.
    Though the engine is a smooth one by RE standards, it isn't by far the smoothest out there. The vibrations you observe and the ticking sound shouldn't be a concern per se, especially during running in period. The bike will heat up, and once heated up, will produce sounds of varying intensities. At around 3k to 4k KM mark is when the bike comes to a good break-in period. Don't ride the bike at really slow speeds, vary the RPM, you can touch 100 kmph every now and then. Follow your service schedule. For the most part, the bike is a reliable one.

    Cheers!

    Hi . I had already asked here directly through her blog. She did not ride this way.
    At this very moment , no way for Iran with a over 250 cc bike, in addition of getting a visa anyway
    For Pakistan , i was told different things; most often the only way was with an army convoy for several days, if there is one .
    So the " STANS" might be the destination through Turkey and back the same way. Not sur .

    Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

    Two things before I left .
    1) about the "strange noises" , the " weird feelings " on this bike . No worry. All bikes and riders are different . you have to feel it. For a long times, on various types of riding.
    Himmie is one of the easiest , versatile, simple and obvious I had ridden in 49 YEARS - licence in 70 for 125,
    Just ride more
    2) Groups can be good fro learning , sharing . IRL
    have a nice day

    Thank you.

    Dont think, dont worry, just ride. Sound is okay as the engine is new. It will settle on its own in few thousands kms. You may notice different varieties of sound ;-) This is with all enfields whether old CI engines or new
    BS4 engine in REH produces bit more humming in starting.
    You can show it to mechanic once just for peace of mind.

    Also, i suggest you switch to Motul 15W50 after 1500 kms as liquid gun is crap oil, you will notice the change immediately.

Although I have very good experience with this tyre in my classic with different size though.

    Also after a long run when I come to halt there's a noise from my exhaust probably that of catalytic converter anyone experiencing the same?
    I think its not a good idea to change the tyre size. Overall stability is best with stock size.

    Upsizing the tire would send the ABS calibration for a toss and the ABS won't work as effectively as it would with a stock tire. Remember, ABS is calibrated for a specific tire size and rim diameter. Altering this would mean the ABS calibration won't get the right reading and cause intermittent working of the system, in your case fishtailing or completely non-operational in worse cases. This is why manufacturers recommend sticking to the right tire spec especially with ABS equipped vehicles.

    The sound is is because of the can con cooling down, which is normal, nothing to worry and it is present on almost all vehicles.

    Cheers!

    Just buy a reflector/glass sealed beam that fits in Classic, any brand like Minda/Hella/Lumax, type is (P43T/H4) just for your confirmation. Factory fitted halogen bulb can be used that comes in Himalayan.
    Ask your mechanic to replace the reflector, its a direct replacement (Tell him to use bigger pins to hold the sealed beam with ring more strongly, he knows it)

    You wont have LED parking light after this as these reflectors does not have that option (for BS3) , anyways useless for BS4 as headlight is always On.
    Thanks for the update. One of my close friends own an Himalayan. This information might help him.

    I forgot to add a misadventure with the Avenger mirrors. They did not work due to limitations in alignment at the handlebar angle I preferred. Broke the left mirror in trying to rearrange the mirror angle. So be careful when getting an Avenger mirror

    Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

    Anyone has the detailed wiring diagram of the BS-IV?? Found a shop manual online but the wiring scans were too low res to be useful.

    Light focus is far better now. I am quite happy with the headlight.
    I recommend to change it if you find your headlight not bright.
