Sir, I came back from Spiti valley trip last week, unfortunately we had to return from Kaza as Manali Chandigarh Highway was having lots of landslides and police was returning people from Chandra taal & Batal. So went to Rakccham on our way back. Awesome trip, RE Himalayan for the win.
Yes Spiti valley has been closed for a while and we too did not go there though we were scheduled to. And happy that you had an alternate route and had a good time. And yes, the Himmer is quite well suited for the Himalayas. Cheers!
Please do more content on BMC air filter ‼️your interview with the representative was amazing, would love to see more bmc air filter content 😄👍
Thanks. Noted.
I am 56 inspired to take a long road trip.Thank you
Welcome! Best wishes.
Love your videos,Bosskey.
I'm looking to improve the throttle response of my Honda H'ness CB 350 on highway rides. Considering I can buy only one of the following parts at a time, in which order should I get these - BMC air filter, Fuelx pro ECU, and Red Rooster exhaust. Which one of these would make the most amount of difference for the money?
Thanks!
Hey, tjanks. And am not sure if all these are available for the CB. Please check. BMC is ans the rest, need to check. But I could be wrong.
@@bigbearbangalore Yes, I had checked and they are available for the CB350 🙂. So what do you think will make the most difference initially?
Consider sprocket change. You will experoenced reduced top speed in each gear though!
@@maneckkatrak1379 Thanks! I wonder how much top speed would be reduced though (currently it can go at 100kmph in 3rd gear and hits the rev limiter).
Also would the speedo and odometer be thrown out of calibration after a sprocket change? That's one major concern of mine since the bike is new and I want the odometer to be fairly accurate
@@chnacr2 Top speed will reduce by about 10% in higher gears. I am unsure if gear indicator will give incorrect reading, but the speedo is normally connected only to front wheel in most motorcycles.
Hey I have doubt, is there any alternative for the detergent like diesel or wd40 or chain cleaner? And even for the oil does light coat of chain spray works, I am curious if you have tried similar alternatives, and if we are stranded and only have basics like petrol wd40 and can of chain spray does it hurt the fabric of the filter.
I like your content btw no bs just facts, please let these type of videos keep coming
Soap water can be used. No diesel or wd40. These will destroy the filter fabric.
Thanks sir for demonstration
🙏
Every video of yours I end up learning something new. This detergent you used what are they called? Thanks again for your videos.
Thanks. It's the BMC cleaning kit.
Sir you are fantastic, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤🙏
It's my pleasure. Thanks.
Can I just wash it with warm water & mild dishwasher liquid and put it back once it's dry? I don't have the BMC washing & oiling kit
Don't know. May work.
Sir, Would you recommend BMC over K&N air filter?
Personal preference is BMC.
Thanks for thr informative video. Based on just a pure visual analysis, i guess the Himalayan 450 has the same filter. Can this 411 BMC filter be used for the Himalayan 450?
Thanks.
The filter fir the H450 is quite different to the 411.
And for the himalayan 450 BMC air filter the oil should be sprayed inside like in this video? Thanks in advance

Hi I have a Thunderbird 350 BS3. I recently upgraded to RR Free Flow Exhaust and K&N Free flow filters. What should my Carb setting be to reap the benefits?
Am not too familiar with carb tuning. And there is no set setting. Varies.
sir when will you upload a video on the muddy hog's condition after the Himalayan oddesy
It's uploaded on Instagram. 🙂
Have you always worked with motorcycles or did gou have a corporate job and now fulfilling hour passion with motorcycles?
No corporate job ever. Technical jobs, own businesses & now enjoying my childhood hobby.
@@bigbearbangalore fantastic. Living the dream. 👍

Hello 👋 in your style!
I planned to fit performance air filter in my classic reborn for more breathing. Should it be enough or should I do ECU tuning or some other stuffs to make it work perfect? Will I see any noticeable drop in mileage? I believe the sound and performance will go high slightly for sure. Need your advice. Thanks in advance.
Just the filter will make negligible perceptible performance improvement no need to remap.
@@bigbearbangalore Where can I get the original BMC?
I had a doubt about the performance air filter , sir i hope you know there are many performance air filters available in the market and i have seen that K&N air filters dont properly filter dust and it gets passed through the filter to the engine which leads engine damage in long term but i haven't seen this problem anywhere with BMC air filters so wanted to know if it will be safe and not like other air filters which dont filter properly?
I've used them for many years and all seems ok.
Hi. I use k&n air filter for my car and it's cleaning kit is far more expensive compared to bmc. So can I use bmc filter cleaner ?
May be you can. Check with the retailer you bought the filter from.
Does BMC and KN filters give any additional benefit to bike than OEM air filters?
Little more air flow and little better filtration.
After installing the replacement filter like the BMC is it need any tuning for the ECU
Not needed.
Why spray oil. Will the paper not get damage.?? Will oil not block pores n breathing°°😮
That's a fabric, not paper! And its designed to be used with oil.
@@bigbearbangalore ok gr8. Thanks
Hi Bosky..what detergent are u using?
I have one too for my bullet 500 thats been unused for ages. Can one use the soft wollens-detergent?
BMC provided detergent.
@@bigbearbangalore Thanks Saar
Seedhi baat no bakwaas. Love your videos
🙏
Sir what product do you recommend for cleaning filter( not for specified brand of filter)
BMC filter, use BMC cleaning kit
There are some filter in market which do not required oiling ...any thoughts on them
They should be OK too.
Hi Bosky ! Whats your opinion on upgrading with bmc airfilter on himalayan ?How many kms should I for my bike to clock ? Should I get the air filter alone or get an free flow exhaust with it ?
Upgrade is good to do. There is no set kms and anytime is a good time. I suggest that you combine the BMC with the FuelX for best effect. Exhaust can come later too.
Thanks♥️ Hope you bring a detailed video on the upgrades you’ve done on your himmy
I've posted 2 YT videos on the mods to my Muddy Hog 411. Please watch when next convenient. Cheers!
Hi, with regards to the bmc air filter in the interceptor 650, do we have to spray the detergent and regenerative liquid on the inside of the triangle? Cause some ppl spray it on the outside too.. So want to clear the confusion...since you have spoken directly with BMC representatives, hoping you could help. Thanks.
Spray on the dirty side.
@@bigbearbangalore is that similar to the the Himalayan air filter on the inside?
Yes
Hello sir, is it only royal enfield bikes, that you work on or any other brand also.?
Hello.
We are primarily an Oil Change Center & a General Maintenance workshop. We carry out running repairs and basic maintenance on Royal Enfield and few other models. Regards.
@@bigbearbangalore thank you👍🏻
Sir can we spray engine oil on the inside of air filter...
No
Hi sir,
Just purchased an bmc air filter. While looking at it against the sun, i see minute holes in it.
Is that normal or is it that the filter need oiling.
I am super confused, pls help
Light will pass thru the material. Don't know of they are holes.
Sir, BMC filter goes for a Suzuki V Storm 250 SX?
Check with @bmcairfiltersindia
Could these oiled filter cause any issue? Or should oil coat be dried before we use the bike?
Oil is applied to absorb the smallest dust particles. Part of the filtration process. Doesn't need to dry.
@@bigbearbangalore thanks for reply!
Do we need to mandatorily do this every 5k kms? BMC manual says 25000 kms!
Depends on the environment. Most cities are massively dusty.
Got it.
I have a DNA filter on my bike. Is it alright to use a K&N kit to clean and oil it?
Should be OK. Check with DNA.
@@bigbearbangalore They say to "only use DNA" products. but I figured they are just trying to sell their product . They want more for shipping than an entire K&N kit.
What's ideal km range for filter cleaning
5,000 kms
Sir is there any drop in mileage with performance air filters
No drop. But since there is a sporty note and a feel good factor, we fend to ride faster, hence some drop can be expected.
@@bigbearbangalore thank you for the information
