I just test rode the Himalayan and fell in love with it after 5 years on a Duke 390. However, I'm not keen on buying it new and looking for a pre-worshipped Hima. Anybody know of anyone selling their BS4 Hima in Bangalore? Would appreciate a lot. Thank you. -
You can just download an image or take a photo of your motorcycle, download it to your PC and edit in Paint on your computer and remove the fender and walla, you have a bike without fender. Looks are purely individual smutall, and you can try playing with the looks. Easy isn't it.Originally posted by smutall View Post

Has anybody removed upper mudguard of the front wheel of the bike? I wanted to see how would it look. Anyway lower smaller mudguard/fender would protect from splashes.Leave a comment:

Motul 7100 is a great oil too and some mechanics in RE showroom recommend it too. You can stick to 5100 which is one of the best mid range semi synthetics out there and easy on pocket. Flush is absolutely not necessary. Flushes are recommended for vehicles that have crossed more than 20k. For a brand new bike, not necessary. As a matter of fact too much flushing will ruin your engine bearings.Originally posted by blackspark3 View Post

Is your bike still under 2years/30K kms company warranty? If yes the stick with RE OEM Liquid gun till your warranty period is over.Originally posted by blackspark3 View Post
Also yes 2500-3500kms is max you expect semi-synthetic will last. Better to change it under that period. Max you can push it 4000kms
Don't listen to RE and try to use that oil for 5000kms like how they recommend in user manual.Leave a comment:

A little advice needed on changing the engine oil.
My Himma is on 7000km now. The oil was changed at 4000km last time with Liquid gun. I feel like I need to change it & I am planning to use Motul 5100 15W50. Do I need to use any engine oil flush before changing the oil? Is it a good idea? Or can I just simply change the oil?
Any comments would be helpful! Thank you!Leave a comment:

I would recommend you using oil other than Liquid Gun. The oil is suffice for the job on hand, but doesn't cooperate when ridden spiritedly or for that matter repeatedly keeping the engine on boil always.Originally posted by Jerry43 View Post
Just take care of the bike well, and it will serve long.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan
It's completely normal, mine use to heat alot. It used to rise up till 54.
Then it subsided after 1st service.
Just ride it often and complete the run in. It will start to open up.
After the second service. It is mostly around 42- 44!
And keep an eye on the tachometer, and don't lug the engine. It'lll be fine.Originally posted by kp. 1751 View PostHello people hope everyone are in good health. My himalayan tends to over heat a lot nowadays after the second service. I have ridden only 1k kms in past 7 months due to the current pandemic situation [emoji17]. The temperature sometimes goes upto 45 degrees. Is it normal or is there any way to rectify this issue?. Please help me with this.
Thank you.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan
Himalayan bs6!
I just came after a good off-road solo run to mana Village on my new himalayan!
It was a 1200 km ride!
Enjoyed every moment of the ride!
Clocked 7k kms in 3 months! Quite an achievement for me because before i rode a 90 model bullet 350.
Pros:
1. Excellent ride quality.
2. Good tyres. Sticks to the ground like anything, be it road full of gravel or slush or plain roads.
3. Torque: amazing torque, was doing all those mighty hills easily.
4. Super suspension! Only issue i faced was sore butt due to seat cover i installed for the stock seat. Which sags less and caused pain.
5. Efficient! Gave a whopping close to 39kmpl during my whole trip.
Cons:
1. wind blast, will install visor extendors. I was blasting at 100 continuosly at Highway.
2. Little vibey at particular rpms, which is understandable due to long stroke engines. Will throw the liquid gun oil away and pour motul or liquimoly soon.
Over-all, i really loved himalayan's performance.
Really, it is built for all roads, built for no roads.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan
After 6236kms with the rear OE Ceat tyres subjected to multiple cuts,punctures and tube changes , installed Apollo 120/90-17 replacing the rear Ceat.
Cost Rs2770 tyre tube set.
Replacing labour with spoke re-tensioning and rim straightening -Rs200.
After running the Apollo for 300kms ,on the rain caused slush of the roads of my office area,the OE Ceat tyre had better traction-so for slush,the Ceat is the better tyre-on dry broken roads and regular tarmac both wet and dry,the Apollo and Ceat are neck to neck-leaning hard into corners the Apollo with its big stiff tread blocks is the clear winner with no twitching and confidence inspiring feedback from the contact patch.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan
okay fine. Was concerned because the temperature went up particularly after the second service. anyways, thanks for the information.Originally posted by B7ACKTHORN View PostI don't find any problem here. New bike does tend to heat up, especially during running in period and if run during chock a block traffic or short spin, or just let it sit to idle, it will heat up. Your engine will free up post 5k plus KMS.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan
Thank you very much for your suggestion. I will adjust it to prevent any issues to the incoming traffic. Also as I don’t live in Delhi, can you give me the shop name from which I can enquire about if they can deliver the product to my place ? If they do deliver I will also install the HJG lights as I have heard praises of it.Originally posted by Jerry43 View PostLeave a comment:
