In the fuel injection version the bike only starts on neutral when the stand is down and doesn't go into gear Anyways nice videos man doing my best and liking all of ur vids so that my frnds also watch em.
That is a better system, it is the way my old Suzuki used to be. You could start it with the stand down but if you went to go into gear with it still down it would stall. Thanks for liking the vids! :)
Hi, Great videos!!! I would have done the same, for it´s really annoying, but... then I thought, maybe by doing so, you might find yourself in trouble when passing the technical inspection, I don´t know the name for it in Australia... Maybe it would have been easier to find the buzzer and switch it on/off... That´s what I did with my kettle, anyway...! :)
In the future I like using household silicone on connections. You can seal it off and pull out the rubber silicone plug with your fingers when you need it. I've also layered it over connections to make them more water resistant.
It certainly is loud. Twisting it out of the way is a good way to go, particularly if you aren't sure yet whether you want the mod to be (semi)permanent.
Hi .. I like your tutorials. I have a problem with the ABS of my Himalayan. It has been disconnected and I have seen that the fuse is good. ¿Do you have any idea what it could be?
After a nasty accident after leaving my stand down, and still suffering after over 25years I'd change the thing that makes the noise, I'd never remove this safety feature
Shame that they don't have the "alarm" tied in to the ECM, so that it wouldn't make a noise unless it met criteria, such as the gearbox being engaged from N into a gear. I fondly remember my first bike, a '79 CM400T. The safety device was a short length of rubber, not unlike a chunk of pencil eraser, but black in color, that extended out beyond the shoe of the side stand. That way, if you did take off with the side stand down, once you began to lean to the left, the rubber would contact the ground before the shoe would, and kick the stand back where it hopefully would no longer be a danger.
Yes, my old Suzuki was like that. You could idle it in neutral with the stand down but as soon as you put it in gear the motor would stall. I'm not that worried though, I kind of like the idea of becoming trained to rely on my diligence rather than an alarm. I figure that ingrained habit of lifting it will serve me well, particularly when travelling overseas and hiring bikes that may not have an alarm.
hiii.....my re himalayan battery keeps draining as i on the headlights, otherwise its ok...my battery is new one, only a week ago i replaced it.... plz help...

yer that alarm was fairly alarming wasn't it I just removed one off the bolts and turned the switch away from the cam on the side stand easy

cool as we do not have this alarm .. just a indicator in oddo meter .. Lucky us :P
Very lucky, it was so annoying!
The bike starts when the stand is down?
Does it work the same way for the 650 Twins?

There is another plug under the seat. I just unplugged that and left everything in place.
Is that the side stand relay?
Lift the seat and disconnect the buzzer. You won't miss it. 30 second job.
Thanks
Easier just to lift the seat and unplug the siren/alarm
Yes, I was worried that alarm was also used for low oil pressure etc but apparently not.
l just disconnected the wire that went to the buzzer, problem solved and no tools needed

Sounds like the dreaded charge coil problem. Get it replaced under warranty.
How much money you pay for this bike? Us dollar
It was 6000 Australian dollars, not sure in US dollars.
its going to be under 5K in the US when it comes here.
