Hello Folks!! No Activity in the tread from quite a long time. Himi 452 is out, Anyone planning to upgrade?

Unfortunately, no, FuelX available in India works in a similar fashion but uses the O2 sensor inputs instead of AIT sensor.
You still get it on their US website, best if someone can carry it for you from there.

brokenbinil thanks bhai.
But i guess it is not being sold anymore on MOTOUSHER site now.

Would be a lot to type in here. Here is the link to the blog I wrote about it.

Booster Plug – What Sorcery Is This? | LEAVE THE ROAD​

brokenbinil -what exactly is a booster plug?What are its benifits?

EDIT: I have added links to Booster Plug and Zedling Suspension - blogs I have written about these.

I just realized that I had not posted anything on xbhp in a while. Here are some things note worthy I have done on my Himalayan.

KMs Done: 53000km and counting.
Model: 2019 March BS4 White

Mods:

• Booster Plug - Booster Plug – What Sorcery Is This? | LEAVE THE ROAD​
• AOM Handle Bar
• AOM Conset Kit
• Zedling Suspension - Suspension Upgrade Zedling Suspension | LEAVE THE ROAD​
• Hitchcock Air Inject Delete Kit
• BMC Airfilter
• Iridium Spark Plugs
• K3G Rally Tower

Issues:

• The only manufacturing issue was the Magneto Coil. It got burnt out twice for me. Once at 20K km and once around 45K km, both times replaced in warranty.
• The fuel pump gave up at around 40K kms, but it was due to water in the tank, mainly due to long standing ethanol mixed fuel. Replaced in warranty.
• Rear Hub Replaced at 50200km as the bearing slot had become loose due to wear and tear.
• Rest only routine maintenance and I had taken the extended warranty while purchasing the bike.

28000kms up.
New Ceat Hygrip on front -it's the third tyre .
Rear MRF Meteor is also at the end of it's life -almost down to the tread markers -maybe 1000kms more at the max before needing a replacement -just hope no punctures till then .
Happy motoring all.

Would only suggest the IR spark plug change.

27K kms up.
9th service done.
Third cone set replacement due.
Third front tyre due.
All systems reporting to work.

Hello Guys!! Need some expert advice and suggestions. My journey with the Himalayan has been worry free till now with the mechanical stuffs mostly except the cone set bearing which needs to be changed every 6months and the stupid tube tyres 😂 I have developed a paranoia that I might get stuck on a solo ride if I get a puncher. As I really had a hard time finding the 21inch tube in the city (Mumbai) RSA guys told that we don't have stock of tube max we can do is tow your bike to nearest ASC. So i looked for it near by and fixing the new tube took nearly 4-6hrs in total which on a ride i cannot even think of going through. So I decided to sell of my Himalayan and got quotes around 1.80L for a 2020 in brand new condition(which I feel is too low as I know how good i have maintained it) as I hardly used it and parked under cover most of the times.
Think of replacing Himalayan with D400/ADV390 but I couldn't feel the same smile as 24HP machine puts on my face soo after doing a lot of research and asking around i began to look for performance upgrades and mods that can help me with Himi 2.0
As I still feel the connection with my Himalayan that it wants to stay with me and even i feel i got to give it one more chance as we hardly got a time to bond properly.
I have been looking at option to make tyres tubeless the entire process will cost around 30k( alluminium rims + tubeless kit) and i am ok with the price if I can go worry free on solo rides without worrying about a puncher ever single minute.
I request you guys to suggest me if the tubeless conversion is a success in real or its just guys baiting riders like me for some quick money.
Also I would love to give it little performance boost if the tubeless conversion is success. I don't really want to spend too much and alter any mechanical stuffs in the engine. I have narrowed down few stuffs based on my research but I don't know how much of a bang can i get for such mods.

1) RK performance sprocket and chain kit
2) iridium spark plug
3) Red rooster exhaust and Air filter

I am open to suggestions and guidance and would really love to hear about your experience on the above mods as well the tubeless conversion.

Have serviced the whole swingarm+ front suspension+rear suspension twice in these 24500kms -complete disassembly,relubrication and assembly - has served me well

The speedo wire went phut - was pleasantly surprised to learn that the speedo and the wire are purely electrical/electronic/sensor based divices - wonder why still the Himalayan is so heavy .
COst -Rs1097 wire +Rs79 labour.

Senior rubber parts are a savior, right from scooters to what not. Your Zest is the one of the things that's keeping this thread alive. Do keep logging in your experiences. A word of note though, most rubber grommets, rubber shields and tubes on the REH tend to form cracks very soon. If your shocker eye bushing have cracked, the bottom rear shock linkage bearing too might have rusted or ran out of grease. Get those bottom linkages removed and the bearings greased, should save you from the dreaded creaking noise and/or bust linkage bearings in the future. Good luck.

Cheers!

The rear shocker lower bush had been almost rotten by the acidic rainwater here in my local industrial area - this led to significant freeplay in the swingarm/shocker interface - the standard part was unavailable at the ASC - the ASC guys improvised a good quality Senior make rubber bush - grinded to length and made to fit- Cost Rs560 for all systems reporting to work - Odo now at 23450km.

Thanks for the reply VJ!
The throttle body and the O2 sensor was cleaned just 5000kms before. I highly doubt there would be a problem in them. I have also cleaned the tps sensor before giving the bike to ASC but no use . Anyway, I will ask the ASC guys to check them too. And yes, I shouldn't have fiddled with the torx screws. But I wanted to try my luck if I can get it sorted. Because, the bike was running well except for the last 1000kms with some mild rough idling. And I never thought the tps sensor would go kaput! My bad luck and a lesson well learnt!
I will try to look for a used one and will also update the status here.
Once again, Thank you!
