Good to hear, dead_piper! And yes, touch wood - may you have many more peaceful miles with your Himalayan.

I've not booked as yet, but I've been waiting since May to own the Himalayan and have fought the impulse to opt for other options in the meantime.

With due respect to all who've booked earlier and have been waiting months for the BS4, how long do you think one should wait after the first deliveries start happening in order to get second/third batches?

Any info would be much appreciated. [emoji111]��

I have been in constantly touch with 3 different RE people, twitter, email and company store Bangalore. The company store has very less information, they give me different date every time I talk to them. The latest was of October( which was ending July initially ). The twitter people are damn sure that I will get my bike this month(September). The official from email says September end (in block letters).
So RE themselves have no definite timeline for the deliveries I suppose.
I think only after the first batch you can guess the idea of release of subsequent batches.

I received a call today from Teknik Motors Indra nagar and requested to make the payment as vehicles have arrived. Once I made the payment I can take delivery in 2 -3 days. So mostly by next week I can have my REH BS4 for which I've waited more than half a year after booking.

As per company store Jayanagar, they should be the first ones to get vehicles as all the stores in Bangalore get vehicles from them. They are shitting me for sure now. I'll call them tomorrow now. Also I saw few reviews of people on YouTube who got the delivery.
I'll call them tomorrow now.
Thanks man.

Congrats on the new one!
Hard Clutch? Possible options - Either oil the clutch cable, see if it isn't tight somewhere, if nothing works, try classic 350's clutch cable.

Ride Safe

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Spoke to RE Company store Jayanagar. They told me to make payment after which the delivery will take 10 days.
I have booked for Granite Color but now I'm more inclined towards Snow(for which they told me it would take 25 days). I'll try to negotiate at the time of payment.

Can anyone recommend me which online payment mode should I chose(RTGS/NEFT ?). This is my first bike and first online purchase for huge amount.
