@@UncleRobsGarage Pedro is very handsome, not that it matters. He's on a much better bike, has mechanical skills and way more adventurous. Itchy rides a boring useless piece of crap.
I think some people miss the point. It is a cheap bike and there are so many parts to modify, improve, customise, individualise or call it what you want. No one is saying you need to fit any or all of these modifications but having the choice of so many options make it a great choice of bike for those who want to tinker and personalise it.
@@utkarshmusiic I’m a bigger guy but I like the Himalayan. So having a bit more punch to haul my fat ass around would definitely be a selling point to me. Plus I’ve got a nice sized garage to do the work in and I love the idea of it being easier then tuning up my car
@@utkarshmusiic no however we are seeing increases in covid. I just got over this thing myself and now I’m waiting to see the potential side effects off it. My doctor told me that it can have some weird ass things it does to people. It rampaged through my whole family. No there are no lockdowns but they really ought to reinstate them before we loose control again. Anyways I can find several Himalayans within an 80 mile radius. Just don’t know if i would want to ride one home 80 miles for a 1st ride lol
At $7500AU it’s a awesome buy and Itchy Boots has Done awesome work promoting the Himalayan I take my hat off to Her for that, I bought one October 2019, No Regrets
Good comment I wached ichy boots and was surprised she didn't have 4 . four wheel drive vicheles and 10 people helping her .she did it on her own us men have to pull our fingers out the girls are better then us lol 😱👍🇬🇧
I said years ago that the motorcycle market needed a lightweight dual sport 500-600cc motorcycle that was easy to service and maintain. Most of the bike manufacturers went to expensive complicated motorcycles with big displacements .
Exciting times for Hitchcocks being the No1 suppliers of RE parts especially with the immense popularity of Royal Enfield nowadays. Good luck, nice video too :)
Noraly "Itchy-Boots" Is probably the biggest sales-person for Royal Enfield "Him-al-ayan, in the world...Great to see what was once a Great British mark back in favour.. and Alun Hitchcock has done most of the work over the years in keeping the make alive... here in the UK ... Great Stuff...

Have said again and again, if the Himalayan remained a single cylinder, and bumped to 500cc's, it would be perfect. Bravo to you folks for offering a 462 upgrade. I love it! Heading straight to your site to find some pricing. Very cool. 👍😀🍻
@alan bane The 650 will obviously have the same 2 cylinder engine as the new interceptor. It will be much heavier than the 400. So will it be worth waiting ? Let us wait and see. The 400 engine is much more modern than the Bullet's one. It would be nice to develop/expand it a bit more, while keeping the Himalayan reasonably heavy. Wait and see, again.
Bernard Dulmet, I don’t agree. The RE 650cc engine is very wide, partly due to the 4 valves per cylinder and would make a bad choice for the Himalayan type chassis. This leaves RE to come up with a suitable engine. That could take donkey’s years.
@karmakaze Moto big fan of your work! Started by following your travel back to Alaska on the Himalayan. Curious about your statement on keeping the single cylinder set up on the Himalayan....is your preference owing to weight issues, or something more? I know so many people who’re waiting for the twin engine to be mated to the Himalayan chassis!
@@Don_Mitchell I think that longing for a 2 cylinder Himalayas is a big mistake. The trail bike will be heavier than the road-oriented Interceptor and it will feel much heavier because increasing the suspension travel will higher the center of gravity. Moreover there are lots of 2 cylinders trail bike around. KTM understood it launching the 390 Adv but it will not replace the former Suzuky Kawasaki and Honda 650 thumper. It might be too sophisticated and fragile for this t task.
Hitchcocks is THE BEST. Incredibly fast service. Stuff arrives just days after ordering.. and I live in Oregon, USA. The fun part is reading the newspaper that stuff comes wrapped in.. different perspective on the world. Great work, Guys!
How long did it take to get there from when they charge your card to arrival? Im just below in NorCal. I just put in an order over 500 dollars of parts, can't find better quality stuff with as much detail description on fitting and installation. Very good work from them.
I’m honestly considering buying one after I get some stuff in order. The way I see it is if I have to sell my fun car then I’m definitely buying a motorcycle. Especially cause my mother is begging me not to. ( hint never tell your children not to do something cause they’ll do it just to spite you) anyways I’m looking for something that’s a cross between a dirt bike and something I can use to go back and forth to work with. But I don’t want to buy a Kawasaki KLR or a Suzuki DRZ and I really can’t afford those 650cc monsters anyways. Since I’m after first motorcycle I’m looking for something that i can improve on but is strong enough to take the lumps and bumps of riding. The RE Himalayan looks like exactly what I’m looking for. ( obviously I’ll order the 462 big bore kit and a few hop up parts to have after I’m more comfortable with it and want more ) it’s a bike that I can have fun with but can actually take on trips and can carry enough stuff for a week.
getting to to point if you # Royal Enfield Himalayan you might as well # itchy boots. I think they make her an Ambassador but she probably does not want it, at least support her with parts. She is best Advertisement RE has ever had.
This bike is really suited to Itchy Boots! All ways it’s manageable for her, economical also basic single cylinder. Cover as much ground, or more than a GS! Value for money and taking in all the scenery whilst travelling.👏👏👏👏🏴👍
I bought the Himalayan brand new about a year back. I love it. And very recently discovered your site and channel. I have ordered the taller windscreen and free flowing air filter kit. Will be ordering the camshaft soon. !! My himalayan now was 2k miles on it, and its opening up and feeling better with every passing mile. It cruises at 60 mph at 4500 rpm. Hopefully with the camshaft, I would be able to cruise comfortably at 70 mph under 5k rpm.
There would be problems servicing and obtaining parts world wide. Common service people may not be able to handle the non-standard changes to engine . Regular parts are on the self easy to obtain world wide . Rather the devil you know than the devil you don't know.And would it void the warranty playing with the stock engine??
It would be great if owners could get bikes like these made up like this. Very impressed with Hitchcock work, a big improvement over the standard bike. Enfield should make up Hitchcock versions in a special division at the factory in India then ship to overseas markets.
@@MrAndrew1953 - Actually yea - I changed my mind, it really wouldn’t cost RE anything to set the production specs at 462cc, raise the front fender and windshield so the only real cost to mod would be the other performance and touring items?
Interesting to see the Dyno results for the big bore kit. Not sure I can justify the expense for that increase in power, however if my bank account were a little fatter I would do it! Thanks for your dedication to the Himalayan. The aftermarket is so tiny I am glad to see some serious investment now.
The frontal side bags also work great at keeping wind off the upper legs. I used to have a KLR with a big 10gallon tank that kept wind off my legs. Now with the front bags on my Himalayan I love it's effect on wind.
Love this shop. Ordered headlight grill, crashbars, and handlebar covers for my Himalayan. Great service. Might get the big bore kit if I feel myself outgrowing the performance of the bike. Keep up the good work!
@@charlieshoup9123 go order the rear rack many reports of the oem rack failing and losing luggage if a passenger leans on your top box or if you drop the bike
Nice upgrades. I wish you were in the states. Since, "Itchyboots" , I've been very impressed with the bike. I like toys and would love to have the upgraded bike exactly as you have presented it. Thanks for sharing all of the information. Barry
Those upgrades make that bike even more appealing dont stop there there is just something about that motorcycle I've never ridden one but it us getting more appealing all the time and you guys are right itchy boots could use them if like the bore kit is proven reliable I didnt see a heated seat or grip upgrade maybe I missed it
Looks like this crew REALLY knows what the hell they are doing! They've turned this 'nice' bike, to a world kicking ADV bike :) Well done sirs,,,well done.
Looks like some well thought out modifications. I will say that the Dyno plot does look like there is a limiting factor at high rpm. Is this an issue with flow in the head? I assume the fueling system has been upgraded.
Could you do a comparison with standard bike, your upgrade kit, powertronic and your upgrade plus powertronic fitted so we can see what the difference on the dyno graph.
I remember a few years back you used to do a frame kit for the bullet 5, are you thinking of a himalayan frame kit? Cos ditching a lot of weight would be good
Now and then, there are those who are clamouring for a bigger engine on the HimALayan. But Noraly would have been singing a different song when gas levels got lower faster in the wastelands of Chile and Argentina.
Assuming RE expands its beachhead in the USA, I'd expect some kind of deluxe Himalayan Hitchcock Edition, fully upgraded with all the stuff, to hit the US market in the next couple years.
Great video and fantastic parts 👍🏻 Can you help ? I really like the Himalayan but find the stock seat pushing me forward and my knees go over the groove of the tank, this makes the ride relay uncomfortable. Would you have a solution for this ? Also top comfort for my passenger mane also with a sissy bar, back-part for more comfort in her back ?
I am trying to decide between the 390 Adventure & Himalayan. I much prefer the idea of a Himalayan but the highway performance & brakes are the main issues for me. I am based in Thailand and the reboring seems expensive and non-undo-able Do the sprockets improve top speed? Where does the torque kick in? Are there reliable brake upgrades you could recommend?
What is the new top speed and cruising speed with the big bore kit added? I can't seem to find anyone referencing the difference in actual speed/power compared to factory 411cc. Thanks!
Cool stuff but what is the total cost of these upgrades including the bike itself? Does it put it in the next class of bike that already comes with these upgrades at the same price or below? I'm thinking about a Himmy as my first bike but I don't want to have to spend a lot more on upgrades and such to just make the thing run right.
Hi there! Im from Canada and have plan to buy Himalayan next season (2021) Do you really think its a good upgrade for this bike? I'm kind of scared because it would null the guarantee
Okay so im doing a thing to my Himalayan turning it into a rat chopper and I was wondering if you make a forward engine crash guard that would be a bit better for putting highway pegs on like a cruiser? All the sets I have found are to narrow to use like that. I've put the upgraded cam and exhaust, changed my light and cluster to be fork mounted, got a sissy bar, put on an eagle fender ornament, installed tusk luggage, slapped on some mini ape hangers with all the electronic device retention stuff, a lighter and cup holder but I want to be able to put my legs in the forward control position for those extra long sections of road.
Hitchcocks moto,I have doubt . While placing big piston will add weight and increase inertia of reciprocating masses also affect counter balancer setup and increase vibration. how do you tackle this problem ?
EFI has been a pain in the ass on many of my bikes. It needs so many extra sensors, plugs, cables, ecu, fuel pump, tps, etc. just so much that can go wrong (and will, on an older bike) and is horrible to troubleshoot. Also, changing pipes and aircleaner messes up the mixture and retuning an ecu is not always possible without chiptuning. Carb problems? Just open it up, clean, screw together, open the fuel valve and of you go. Adjusting a carb is easy once you know how and can be done with only a screwdriver. Way better. Only thing i like with efi bikes is the cold start. Thats nice and easy, but thats it for me. Damn injection only made it to motorcycles because of emision laws.
@@keesketsers5866 Yes...I'm in New Zealand, and just bought a RE Himalayan, and chose the BS4 carb model (also no ABS) for your very reasons. I believe this model will become collectible...!
@@paulvanderhaegen761 normally a carb is a down grade (and admittedly you may loose some power and economy), but for the kind of bike the Himalayan is, it wouldn't be a bad idea. Heck, you seem to have to do more maintenance on this bike than others, but the maintenance is a lot easier than said bike, so a carb would be in the same mindset.
Great, great, great great..... Super upgrades for such a super cool bike... Bought 2, one in India as well one in France.... Really happy to see we can upgrades also in Europe!!!! Checking ur website now.... Coooolllll
What the Himalayan needs is a 650cc twins engine that's on the INT650 and a lighter frame and suspension and it'll be ready to take on most middleweight motorcycles in that class globally.
This is the most upgraded Himalayan in the entire world! 🤯👍🏻
Yeah, it'll be awesome to get the kit to INDIA.

You should think about sponsorship with itchy boots.
The stock FI is used in BMW and Triumph bikes so it's a good system to start with.

Assuming RE expands its beachhead in the USA, I'd expect some kind of deluxe Himalayan Hitchcock Edition, fully upgraded with all the stuff, to hit the US market in the next couple years.
Great video and fantastic parts 👍🏻
Can you help ? I really like the Himalayan but find the stock seat pushing me forward and my knees go over the groove of the tank, this makes the ride relay uncomfortable.
Would you have a solution for this ?
Also top comfort for my passenger mane also with a sissy bar, back-part for more comfort in her back ?
No words❤️❤️
Very nice package!
That's what she said
It is nice to see and very inspiring as well. R.E should and must continue this bike and also reduce the price.
I am trying to decide between the 390 Adventure & Himalayan. I much prefer the idea of a Himalayan but the highway performance & brakes are the main issues for me. I am based in Thailand and the reboring seems expensive and non-undo-able
Do the sprockets improve top speed? Where does the torque kick in?
Are there reliable brake upgrades you could recommend?
This is my dream bike
Awesome 👍 🤩
Hi, s&s has got a big bore kit for interceptor 650s, how much increase does the kit provide, compared to the original setup??
Give one of your bikes to itchy boots girl. She well sell tons for you. Great girl biker.
Awesome bike..
What is the new top speed and cruising speed with the big bore kit added? I can't seem to find anyone referencing the difference in actual speed/power compared to factory 411cc. Thanks!
Cool stuff but what is the total cost of these upgrades including the bike itself? Does it put it in the next class of bike that already comes with these upgrades at the same price or below? I'm thinking about a Himmy as my first bike but I don't want to have to spend a lot more on upgrades and such to just make the thing run right.
Fantastic
Hi there! Im from Canada and have plan to buy Himalayan next season (2021) Do you really think its a good upgrade for this bike? I'm kind of scared because it would null the guarantee
Okay so im doing a thing to my Himalayan turning it into a rat chopper and I was wondering if you make a forward engine crash guard that would be a bit better for putting highway pegs on like a cruiser? All the sets I have found are to narrow to use like that. I've put the upgraded cam and exhaust, changed my light and cluster to be fork mounted, got a sissy bar, put on an eagle fender ornament, installed tusk luggage, slapped on some mini ape hangers with all the electronic device retention stuff, a lighter and cup holder but I want to be able to put my legs in the forward control position for those extra long sections of road.
Looks good! Thanks for posting :)
Can you make lighter version of RE Himalayan?
Hitchcocks moto,I have doubt . While placing big piston will add weight and increase inertia of reciprocating masses also affect counter balancer setup and increase vibration. how do you tackle this problem ?
Looks like it's running out of fuel at the top end. Is the ECU mapped to suit?
What about braided brake pipes?
Itchyboots and himalayan ❤️
She's a babe
Just ordered the front bags. £57 isn't bad, I think. Good place to keep maps and snacks.
Go to aldi £20 tank saddle bags had them on my bike f650gs 1 year now 😄😄😄😄😄
And whiskey & cigars.
Have you got one coming for RE's premier ADV bike, the Classic 350?
Curious about the top speed on this bigger bore bad boy..
do you have a workshop were you fit all these upgrades and at what cost ?
When will it come to the 2023 model?
Nice bike
Could this kit be adapted to fit the 350 Meteor ???
Retro fit dr650 engine and perfect bike for short riders
Nice bore kit.. that is a great idea..👊😎
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 too good sounds great !! Can u sell this in India ??
Only Royal Enfield could offer a carb as an upgrade from EFI
upgrade...what upgrade you mean down grade LOL
@@paulvanderhaegen761 try fixing an EFI by yourself in a remote area.
EFI has been a pain in the ass on many of my bikes. It needs so many extra sensors, plugs, cables, ecu, fuel pump, tps, etc. just so much that can go wrong (and will, on an older bike) and is horrible to troubleshoot. Also, changing pipes and aircleaner messes up the mixture and retuning an ecu is not always possible without chiptuning.
Carb problems? Just open it up, clean, screw together, open the fuel valve and of you go. Adjusting a carb is easy once you know how and can be done with only a screwdriver. Way better. Only thing i like with efi bikes is the cold start. Thats nice and easy, but thats it for me.
Damn injection only made it to motorcycles because of emision laws.
@@keesketsers5866 Yes...I'm in New Zealand, and just bought a RE Himalayan, and chose the BS4 carb model (also no ABS) for your very reasons. I believe this model will become collectible...!
@@paulvanderhaegen761 normally a carb is a down grade (and admittedly you may loose some power and economy), but for the kind of bike the Himalayan is, it wouldn't be a bad idea. Heck, you seem to have to do more maintenance on this bike than others, but the maintenance is a lot easier than said bike, so a carb would be in the same mindset.
Add other cylinder.?
What will be the cost of the bike after all the upgrades.
Would be nice that the whole Exhaustpipe would be ceramic Black,., some others showed this on YT , great upgrade also.
... downgrade. First a noisy exhaust, second ear plugs.
somebody,s needing to come up with an uprated alternator !!
How many oversized available on that 462?
Hello ,do you do handle bar risers for the 650 interceptor??,if yes how much would they cost .
Thankyou in advance .
Yes, Interceptor risers are available, take a look at the following link:
accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/40459
how you like the big bore kit?
Was there something done about the comfort of the seat?
It was mentioned that the alternative exhaust saves a noticeable amount of weight. Can you quantify that? How much weight?
Well putting slip on's on the sporty shaved off about 1 ton so it must save some on this?
Great, great, great great..... Super upgrades for such a super cool bike... Bought 2, one in India as well one in France.... Really happy to see we can upgrades also in Europe!!!! Checking ur website now....
Coooolllll
What the Himalayan needs is a 650cc twins engine that's on the INT650 and a lighter frame and suspension and it'll be ready to take on most middleweight motorcycles in that class globally.
