This is the damaged fins. Do you people think that I should go ahead and replace it? Will this cause any heating issue as it is damaged from the front end to where the air flows the most.

Hello Himalayan owners, I am back with another small concer regarding my bike.
I gave my Himalayan for a quick wash today, got her a good pressure wash, came home and futher cleaned the chain and lubed it.
To my suprise, I saw the front oil cooler fins to be completely bent, tried to remove the guard and straighten the fins with a screwdriver.
I couldn't do it, fearing to futher ruin the fins.
What should i do? Is it fine if 50% of the front fins are damaged, and the other end is all good?
What will be the cost to change whole cooler?
Thanks you.

Hey Jerry43 Due to water ingress Cone set catch up rusting issue. It's common problem for RE, Art of Motorcycles, Bangalore make plastic cover to stop the leak, also there are waterproof grease available in the market (Maxima is good one) you can use that too extend life of cone set bearings.
For warranty, It is not available only for regular service parts like brake pads, engine oil and too some extend tyres.
I will suggest you to learn more about Himalayan to avoid frustration and general habits for RE.Leave a comment:

Hello people,
I have a small query regarding the issue i was facing while riding my Himalayan.
Mine is a bs6 Himalayan 2020 one.
The steering was little tight at a particular position, so i asked the ASC to check and they regreased them at 3rd free service.
Yesterday, i went for my 4th free service.
I asked them to change my fork oil and check the cone set as I am having issues while riding.
The handle is all too tight.
They changed the fork oil and only put 400ml per leg when the manual says 455ml per leg.
To which they denied and said that if they put 455/leg, it will become too tight and what not.
Then they checked the cone set and said that it needs greasing, but i asked them to change the cone set under warranty. Which they denied and said it is chargeable.
I denied and said, that cone set comes under warranty if it's a detective one. (That time i didn't know if cone set comes under wear and tear)
They could have given me details about it and just get it replaced under wear and tear.
Then the service person just regreased and put it back. I was still not happy with how it was working as it was tighter than before.
On the way back to home, the handle became too tight and I was forced to get it checked from an experienced mechanic, the cone set needs changing because of rust.
Do you guys have any idea about warranty details about the cone set?
I had filed a complaint against them, that i could have met with an accident and should have given it to me before cheking.Leave a comment:

Paper based air filters are cheap not reusable and so change them at regular intervals. A non functioning air filter may ruin your whole engine eventually. Oil Based filters can be reused after a wash and oiling.Originally posted by hemanta View PostLeave a comment:

The last guy who worked on the bike could have removed it for some reason and forgot to put it back. Take it to the SC once or just buy a pipe that fits long enough to reach under your main stand from any local store.Originally posted by Jerry43 View PostLeave a comment:

Make a video of it when ever it light is on and theen take it to the SC. most probably it will be replaced under warranty if found faulty.Originally posted by ashutosh.k View PostLeave a comment:

The O2 sensors aren't cheap. From my experience O2 sensors cost upwards of 1500 + for motorcycles and upwards of 2k for cars, given the brand and manufacturer. Try replacing it under warranty, since you're already under warranty, RE will replace it for free. If not, raise a complaint and get it replaced, O2 sensors aren't cheap it isn't a part that would fail so early. Good luck.Originally posted by ashutosh.k View Post

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 1 SHORT 5 Rollover Sensor circuit malfunctioning
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.Originally posted by blackspark3 View PostRe: 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?
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 answerAttached FilesLeave a comment:

Thank you. It was loose, when I started the bike on stand, saw the sprocket moving erratically.
Ripped of the rear tyre after checking and re-tightening the axle nut..
After inspecting the cush rubbers, saw 3 of it worn out. The rubber was gone and it looked totally faded..
Due to lockdown, no shops were open, checked with one of the shops nearby. No help.
I then had to use it anyhow, referred few threads from the internet that it can be reused. So used old cycle tyre tube cut outs and inserted it between.. then checked for play. It is now super tight.. snug fit!
Now the bike moves and feels free and no jerking it makes..
My bike has clocked 14k kms. So i believe that the cush rubbers needs to be checked every 5k or every oil service..Attached FilesLast edited by Jerry43; 06-06-2021, 01:42 PM.Leave a comment:

Upon wear, the rear sprocket will move ever so slightly front and back and that's only actionable by hand with significant force applied, where normally it shouldn't move an inch, if the play is easily replicable with hand your cush drive is weak. If the sprocket and chain kit themselves move laterally, you have either a loose axle for loose sprocket lug bolts both are equally dangerous. Start off by inspecting your rear axle torque, make sure your chain is slacked right. Perhaps, a picture of the rear wheel would help.Originally posted by Jerry43 View PostYesterday I was checking my motorcycle out. Cleaned it as it was very dusty.
I cleaned the chain and lubed it. While i was cleaning off the excessive lube from chain, i noticed some play in rear sprocket.
I am not talking about the play of the chain sideways, but the entire rear sprocket was moving sideways.. i am suspecting cush rubbers or bearings, but i hear no sound.. what could be the issue?
Hope it helps.
Do not wash any filter element with water and what not. Replace a filter if they're dirty enough; jugaad can be applied and carried on virtually any part, but it doesn't always mean right. It's more about the filtration efficiency rather than a clean looking filter. Do not wash filters with water, and esp., soap water, they will make the paper brittle and cause chipping when they dry off. Replace the air filter at the recommended interval, the bike will be more than happy. All filters are meant to be replaced when they are due, do not re-use one use filters, unless absolute emergency.Originally posted by hemanta View Post

Try removing the rear wheel and fitting it again. I have a feeling you may realise that a nut that goes into the rear axle (near the rest brake caliper) is missing.Originally posted by Jerry43 View PostYesterday I was checking my motorcycle out. Cleaned it as it was very dusty.

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.Leave a comment:
