Hi .. has anyone been able to find a solution to the popping sound of the bike ? Is it due to un-tuned carb ? Also, does any one have any updates on rejetting ?

I booked REH from Bengaluru Teknik Motors on March 1st 2017. I contacted them again yesterday and I was told that to make the payment on or after 27th of May and the Machines will start delivering from June 1st week. Mostly by 5th June I can expect my 2017 REH FI BS4 Granite black vehicle. On-road price is 2.01L INR.

Thanks

As far as I know there is a marginal difference in the power O/P which .5 BHP in the FI edition of REH.

Btw I am an happy Himalayan customer. Sure the bike has issues but one needs to understand what the bike is meant to do. I have seen people using the bike as a dirt bike and coming up with issues. Please do note and understand that this is an adventure tourer and not a dirt bike. It has button tires, doesn't mean that it is meant to be jumped off a ramp or used like a motocross.
This bike is meant to take you places and cover distance at the same time. Learn to love the bike. I hate it when people say to me that its a dirt bike take it off the road and jump the ramp n etc., which annoys to an extent but i feel sorry for their under developed mind which lacks in understanding capabilities.

RE India promoted this bike as a dual sport really aggressively at launch

Well well.. if you go by the ads all axe deo users would date the hottest woman, Complan drinking kids would be 6+ feet tall

And, that's why cool dudes started to buy that deo, one even sued the deo company on the same false premises when he couldn't get laid even after spending thousands on the bottles.

Oh wait, a bunch of Himalayan owners also sued the company. I'm really starting to see a pattern here buddy!

What's your definition of an Adventure tourer then? They are supposed to do the off road duties pretty well. RE India promoted this bike as a dual sport really aggressively at launch, I hope you saw CS Santhosh's video, embarrassing nonetheless.

Its not people, RE sold this bike as such.

Regards.

Take it or leave it 😂
Look the way, royal enfield doesnt give a damn
Go buy triumph Tiger
Peace out

I agree you you, An adv tourer should be able to take me anywhere be off / on road. if it is not able to do it then it should not be called adv bike period. RE has promoted this bike as an adv tourer / dual sports. If you want a soft roader there are multiple options available in the RE stable itself..

Typical RE fanboy response, sure I'll leave it. Cheers.

I think somewhere deep down each one of us wants the Himalayan to succeed. Its a bike conceived in India to take on the goliaths of motorcycling world. The company itself has risen from the ashes.

Each one of us is a spectator screaming "go himalayan go.. You are almost there, just fix a few defects"

Waiting is definitely a better option than to book the first batch of any bike, may it even be Himalayan fi. who knows what issues it might have.
I had a phone conversation with two of the biggies who are in charge of the Himalayan from RE and they definitely sounded worried about the hard fact that the bike has so many issues and complaints. They may take their time, but are on it to solve the niggles.

Update for REH owners in bangalore: There is a Himalayan camp going on which includes free check up and replacement of some parts if needed free os cost (excluding oil charges). Please get in touch with your service station or Company Store Service to book an appointment.

Advice i can give people is that "never go with the first batch of any bike" It will have issues. Even duke had issues and still has issues, The only difference is that people deal with it in a mature way. What is happening with the Himalayan is that people seems to have high expectations. For the money we are spending for the bike, it is a gem, an absolute beauty. I am sure there are many owners here agree with me on this.
There is no other adventure tourer available for the price. Dominar and mojo are power cruisers, duke is a naked sports/street. Set your priorities straight and go for one.

There is no right or wrong bike. Its like choosing a companion. If it clicks and you see magic between you then that is what you should lean towards. Maintenance comes as per your usage and up-keeping. Its like a kid, you spoil them and they are hard to keep, you treat them the right way and they end up being amazing.

peace!
