I appreciate you sharing your experience with the motorcycle and service. I just purchased a 2022 Himalyan but due to cold winter weather here in the US, I've only been able to put 110 miles on it. So far, the motorcycle hasn't had any issues but I will keep in mind the issues you have raised. Hopefully I won't have any issues but it's good to know where to look if I do.
I am using himalayan BS6 2021 November. Covered 11.4k kilometres. Faced T stem oil leak & sounds, headlights not useful at night, over heating inside city ( chennai & bangalore ), abs hard to switch off & rusting issues on saddle stay. Other than that I love the bike even on road & off road. Best part is with full loaded vehicle we took Kollihills... It was amazing😍
@@Allwincy1 I seldom ride at night anymore, and when I do it's in lightly trafficked or rural areas at slow speeds. Hard to imagine the headlight won't be adequate but I'll have to try it sometime. Now I'm just waiting for winter to go away. I think the heat may be much higher where you are. Overheating hopefully won't be a problem here. I should try the ABS switching. I know setting the time was difficult. Those buttons aren't the most sensitive!
Hi Sai, Just thought i would pass my experience on to you and your subscribers. i was captivated by the reviews and simplicity of the RE Himalayan had a test ride on one last June and was really surprised. You can easily flat foot it and its road presence is larger than you think, it is under powered but we have a lot of country winding roads and a lot of easy green lanes near us. Its no Honda but gives you more confidence on gravel roads because if you drop it you won’t damage anything its built like a tractor. I swapped My Honda for a 2022 second hand Himmy with all the bells and whistles metal panniers, engine Guards,.spot lights with only 147 miles on the clock. At 300 miles i decided to change the oil and filter as suggested in the service schedule made sure i took it easy for the first thousand miles. I went to north Wales with my two sons for a three day tour every time we stopped for a break or get petrol the bike would not start first or second time but would start eventually. After some research on you tube it was a faulty relay switch so i replaced them all and the problem was fixed. The first week in January on the first dry day i went for a spin, about three miles from home i was going uphill at 50mph and the engine just died it would turn over but not start so i let it cool down turn round and head down the hill to bump start it, It did go and got me home but was making a horrible rattling noise. I got in touch with royal enfield they picked it up and took it to the nearest dealer to me. They got in touch on Monday its got to have a top engine rebuild camshaft new barrell and piston total cost £895.00, so for a bike that is only 9 months old and covered 2000 miles is a lot of money. Royal enfield won’t cover the cost because i did the first oil and filter change thereby invalidating the two year warranty. Foot note ... I passed my bike test in 1972 on a Honda S90 Sport and since then have had many bikes i am no mechanic but have always changed the oil and filter on my bikes at three or four thousand miles weather it needed it or not, in my mind i thought it would prolong the life of the bike. So to sum up if anybody is interested in a second hand R E Himmy, before you go ahead make sure it has got RE approved service history. All the best Bob
Could you please describe the rattling sound? I am having a terrible thin metallic slapping sound, that is NOT valve noise, that is irregular and it seems to come from the very top of the engine head. It is present only after the engine warms up after some distance has been travelled. I adjusted my valves 3 times already at a total of 8000km. Should I be worried?
I have to say well done for sticking with it. What a nightmare that not only inconveniences you, but surely must make you lose all trust in your bike. I really hope you don't have any further issues!
I own a 2019 Himalayan never faced any major issues try apart from cone set issue which is like a pakka issue you will get in every Himalayan, but in Bs6 bike alot of people are complaining about the relay issue. They have tuned the ecu in Bs6 which made cruising at highe speed better but these kind of quality issues are really annoying.
This video is absolute horror, as an motor head i feel very bad for you bro , I used to adore r.e. It doesn't matter how much heritage a brand has, what matters is how good is their customer service is. Hope all the issues get fixed!
Thanks for sharing the video, in the USA they refer to a vehicle that breaks down a lot as a lemon. You and I both seem to have lemons. My 2021 Himalayan had the speedometer vibrate apart at only 1,300km. Then the swing arm froze up at 1,600km. Then the left front directional broke off due to engine vibration. Then directly after that the bike began constantly stalling everywhere including in traffic, which as you said is frightening and dangerous. RE was unable to fix the constant stalling to this day and the bike has 13,600km. Then my steering head bearings went out at 9,000km and had to be replaced. Right now, my transmission suddenly became very difficult to get in and out of gear, and I was told that gear cogs will likely need to be replaced within the transmission. Transmission rebuild at 13,600km? That's insane. I have never had this many problems in all the bikes I have owned combined over 40 plus years of riding. And this bike pretty much stays in a broken state, having problems developing on top of problems. It has never been running 100% since the day I bought it. And these problems are from street use, I have never really taken it off road. That is what we call a lemon, which is a very sour experience. I am thinking of selling it if I can ever get it fixed. So far I have never been able to fix it long enough to sell it. But if I do, I plan on buying a 250 V-Strom. Pretty much the same or better performance on freeways, better economy, and much better reliability which means I can ride again without fearing daily breakdowns. I like the Himmy when it runs, but a bike is about reliable transportation. If a bike or car is not reliable and is a one way vehicle, (having to be brought home on a trailer) then it is not worth keeping.
Not a single problem here for the first 10k, except start up when parked overnight below -5°C…Assembly and QC was done in Austria (at least for my part of Europe) and haven’t faved much issues. Changed the og battery for a japanese one and no problems whatsoever. Indian QC needs regulations that’s all.
Great u didnt bow down.. but the thing is your relay issue is a known problem among himalayan community and u did a mistake relying on the service center to fix it for you, they would just replace the same quality relay, instead the real problem is the grease they use on the connectors for relay which comes loose during the ride, u could have just cleaned the relay ports and use better quality relays. Owning an himalayan is not for faint of hearts, people without any mechanical knowledge of servicing a bike will have a frustrating time with it.
Since your video there have been similar issues on the US based bikes. The ECU update seemed to have fixed the stalling issue. There are still other issues with various components on the bike. My bike has been great but I personally know people that have bad bikes like yours. Hopefully the 2023 models have better build quality.
Got my bike few days ago, and on the 130km trip back home I started to notice that it wouldn't start right away. I first tought it was an issue with bein in gear and not in neutral, but after I got home and wanted to start the bike - it wouldn't work. Every fifth try it would start. I contacted the dealer and they sent me a replacement relay, and after that the problem was fixed. The anoying thing was that I asked the dealer about this problem before buying the motorcycle, and they told me that they only came across the issue once in all the bikes they sold, and that they replace the relays as soon as the bike comes as a preventitive measure. It seems not on my bike. I hope this was the only issue and that I will not have any fuel pump or something that happened to you.
I agree to you brother my Scram 411 head got replaced at 3500km and 2 months it was in service station in 7 months ECU , wire harness and engine also failed
Bought Himalayan in 12 Sept 2018, except for chassis crack on the second year after purchase which RE replaced it for free. Cone bearing gets changed after every 3-4 months. Wearable like clutch cables, front wheel rims changes twice, but engine and its parts not changed even once. 45,000 km only in Odeometer. The bike is absolutely working well. Sorry to hear ur story cause we are all Himi owners.
I am so sorry you have had such a negative experience. I have a 2021 Himalayan. I replaced the relay after I heard of some of these problems. I also had to replace a defective temperature sensor. Recently the gear position indicator has quit. I have 14,000 km on my bike currently. I live in Canada. I am a little nervous because I often travel alone to very remote areas. I carry a GPS communicator; however, it could be a long time and very expensive, if I have to be rescued.
I have a 2022 Himalayan. It has around 1000 kms since I got it, the only issue I had was the compass which has stopped working. The dealer replaced the whole instrumentation panel and now the compass is gone. RE through this dealer said the compass has been taken off the new panels and where the compass used to be is now the gear indicator. I’m unsure if this is true for all new Himalayans.
I have exactly the same problem, I bought it in 2022 and since winter here in Norway the motorcycle goes and comes from the workshop because it doesn't start.
This is true. I am himalayan owner 2017 model. The ground reality is pathetic. I am facing too many problems since 2019 and even changed entire gear assembly and crank case.
RE service center don’t really care to actually solve issue unless you escalate. i think it’s because their business is good with so many bikes being serviced. RE should investigate and bring better processes at service center level
I'm in Australia, and have been considering buying a RE, BUT, what has me worried, is that most of the used one's advertised, have done less than 10,000 kilometres! That suggests that either the bikes aren't what the sellers had hoped for, or there may be quality issues with the brand.
I feel your pain... I love my Himalayan but a few weeks ago, after a 1 hour morning journey, I started the engine to go home and had terrible trouble starting, it would not idle and I had to keep the revs high until the engine was hot, then the engine was good, it happened again the next morning but in the afternoons it would not start again with no indication as to why. I replaced the spark plug as there was no spark with with the original with and no success with new plug, so the bike was recovered to my home. The next morning my mechanic started the bike OK but with an engine management fault. When he got it to the shop it had no spark again. After checking the EMS he found there was a throttle position sensor problem. RE will only supply the complete throttle housing and not just the sensor, so look at several hundred US$ for this. My mechanic tells me that Japanese bike producers can supply the throttle position sensor alone. If RE want to destroy their brand and reputation, it appears they are doing it; same with the cheap relays which also cause a problem. My bike has always started first time regardless of the temperature and weather. Now I am unable to trust it for now. It is a 2020 version. Are RE saving money with cheap Chinese parts?
I went through the same issue and my bike is lying at the service centre till date. Pathetic condition for owners facing the same. RE really needs to take care of such failures
I own RE Classic 350 drove almost 50k km but haven't faces any major yet and recently got my Himalayan granite black and i drove more than 340km in first day of delivery but i haven't faced any issues yet.
I am also owning the same model Himalayan ( Mirage silver) I was also facing the same same issue which bro was facing till now . Today there is no problems that I have faced in my early days i have made a complaint to the royal Enfield plant and they given me a warranty claim for the part which was making my bike these problems ( the problem which have faced in my bike was in the relay - the male port and the female port both of the parts were complaint and these were manufacturing defect today I am happy and my bike is safe and perfectly ok
This video makes me sooo sad. 😢 My Himalayan is from 24-April-2021. I have faced all sort of relay and fuel pump issues... But what you had faced about the engine in the middle of a ride is just too much.. Hope RE takes care of these issue by not harassing the owner who are facing issues in the bikes and fixing the problem propely and quickly under warranty.... Keep riding 🤘🏻
I think i too have same problem....my bike is not starting when engine gets heats up....after 20 to 30 mins when engine cools down the bike starts again...i gave it to 3 service center but they could not solve it....now i am not understanding what do .... still i have problem with my bike ...I purchased my bike on may 31 2021 i has been 10 months only...what to do with this bloody Himalayan...plsss plsss plsss help me..
I was really thinking to get himalyan over yezdi adventure. But I was concerned about the after sales of yezdi. Now even after getting himlayan if after sales is so pathetic, i am not sure what to get 😅.
There are battery issues that I am facing. My Himalayan is 15 months old, and the fuel pump had a manufacturing defect. It took RE service centre almost 10 days to find the problem. They replaced the fuel pump under warranty. Now I am facing battery issues. Sometimes I really doubt ; one should really spend 1-2 lacs and go for KTM 390 Adv or Honda 500X
Thanks for the sharing this video, this will definitely help everyone who’s in dream of buying Himalayan bike (Just like myself) Heard lots of quality and servicing issue from RE. Will drop the plan of buying RE now. Cheers!!!
Bro iam also facing the exact issues like you mine 2021 model it’s been 5 months… 4500km around travelled… Facing issue with start and suddenly stops while in ride Twice stopped in the middle of traffic.. I asked re service centre locally they said we changed the valve ( I have kept my bike for 2 days with service centre)… Again facing the same issue and asked the service centre they said keep bike for some more days… we can fix it and make a call to you… yesterday only happened with me…. Such a bad quality and such a terrific experience I have lost the belief in RE…
I am having similar issues with my back it was the 12 th month if my purchase, they told me its the fuel pump which needed to be replaced.. and i will have to wait for 2 months to avail the warranty..
My friend have bs4 2019 model. He has not even ridden 6k km and he already have changed battery, cone set. And even after changing these, it wouldn't start sometimes and there is always a noise coming from below handle bar. He is so pissed off that nowadays he won't even ride. Now rusting has started already standing in parking lot.. He tried to sell but nobody wants to buy.
Thank you Sir...Mera bike main same problem hotha hai...4 month main 2 time create problem...aur abhi Mera bike workshop main Hai...abhi taak observation main rakha hai...problem solve nahi ho raha hai.
That is a seriously concern, thanks for the heads up. I just purchased the new Himalayan and have stalling issues from day one. Engine cuts out at low rpm and in gear as well. Plus the speedometer mists up so you cannot see the speed or digital information. The bike is great otherwise. RE haven't acknowledged the enginestalling as a known fault but have issued a fix. One question off this topic - can I ask what the make of hand guards you have on your Himalayan?
I have purchased this 2021 model. I m facing issue of bad noise when drive. Like a vibration. It is big and huge noise feeling bad to drive. I want to know,Is th issue only for this or anyone facing this issue? Why this and What is th remedy
Really appreciate showing in important issue sharing experience on Royal Enfield Himalayan bike. Am honur of Royal Enfield Electra 2012 Now am planning to go for Yezdi Adventure bike.
i got mine mid of 2021 and it has now around 7000km on it... Issues so far: dashboard had water in it .. was replace new one had a bit less water now. Engine stall mid rider ... i replace the fuel pumpe relay, so far it works. what makes me nervous is the oil consumption on my bike. after around 400km i have to fill up to get at least to min. beside that i love that tractor. greetings from germany.
I have heard this from couple of fellow riders too, one of the rider from my group said that valves got bent due to backflow in manifold and they held his motorcycle in service center for almost 20 days and they got valve head assembly replaced. I bought Himalayan recently and I noticed a strange vibration especially between speeds 55-60 KMPH during which a rattling sound similar to tappet noise. However there are no vibrations till 100 KMPH. I have asked RE technicians to check but they say everything is fine, I am having patience and will only get to know the engine performance when I clock 10,000 Kms on motorcycle as I cannot comment at the moment since it's too early to judge! As you said not all Himalayan owners are facing this issue, let's see how it goes for me. But I hope your motorcycle issues are resolved.
I am also facing the same issue after the first service and its been 1.5 years and multiple runs to the service centre, still no F*ing solution . pathetic service from RE.
@ sai milind. THANX for sharing. Wit proof. . Also u said u were riding with ur friend who has yezdi. Did he face any problems of any sort on the yezdi. Hows reliablity?
Ture I agree I am getting bombarded with folk issue of RE Himalayan / I went to service center they ask to change cone set, hand bar inside few other items of bike after changing everything new in bike paying 7k...I had the same issue I took to same service center more than 4 times , they fix after 2 weeks same folk issue gets repeated wittern mails to RE no use still having the same problem no value for money ...
I can feel the pain bro , same issues bro , 6months bike fuel pump gone fuel relays gone battery dead . Stalling issues rpm use to drop just frustrated with this Royal Enfield product never expected this quality . Even ball racers gone in a week of purchase .
Bro the solution for all this is to take your bike first to analyse the issue with a good mechanic and learn yourself to rectify it, then come back to the service center and demand them to do the job. RE service centres are really pathetic,they don't know how to treat their customer. They won't be able to find out the real cause of any issues so that they won't be able to rectify that. Himalayan is a great machine bro.
bro I'm facing the same issue of bike stalling & auto off issue even on high speeds & RE service center is unable to fix the issue, someone suggested to use ROOTS brand relay instead of stock, i don't know what to do ... should i change or not....!!!!
@@SaiMilindVlogs yes they did but the issue is still there & i again visit the service centre for the same issue, & they were unable to solve the issue…they kept my bike for whole day & finally the set RPM by default at 1🤦🏻♂️…& i was like seriously🤷🏻♂️…now the sound of the bike is annoying…they were just roaming around with my bike whole day..bloody a**wh****….I’m going to switch to ROOTS …let’s see what happens.
@@rm7244 bro, there is no difference between the RE latest 4 pin relay and the roots relay, the RE 4 pin relays are slightly better than the roots brand...I tried on my Himalayan 2021, but still I am facing power lag issue on low RPM...
For the last few years the RE quality has reduced alot... rather it's with all manufacturers....it is common now that u purchase a product n after that u need to chase customer care n dealers.. n fact is they will always try to repair it not replace it.....as a buyer we will certainly think that when we are purchasing new product then why we shud get repaired... Otherwise better we buy used items..
Brother.. this is like my story.. I purchased my himalayan on 21st feb 2021. I had this following issue. 1. Malfunction indication lamp was glowing continuesly 2.Bike not started 3.Bike got stall and off while 100 kmph 4.O2 sensor changed 5.Relay changed 6.wiring harness changed Now all issue solved.. but engine tappet noise is coming. I donno wer it will go..
Dear I am a 2020 BS-VI (6) owner. The problem you are facing of faulty battery. Get it replaced under warranty.I also got my battery replaced in 2021 November although I bought bike in Jan End 2020. I got everything coil, relay, wiring, starter, plug checked. Finally it was traced that the battery from Amaron was creating issues because all BS-VI bikes are sensor loaded Ecu bikes & due to low recharging (due to inherent problem in battery) was why I was having this problem .
Bro. Evryone in indian motorcycle industry is making money on Battery. All these thieves had the same master. Never ever think that it was some random issue when after one year of purchase, the 🔋 problem Kicks in. By production this batteries grade are degraded purposefully. So that it lives till 1-yr perfectly.
Thanks for sharing this.... I wanted to buy this motorcycle but after seeing many other video about their defaulty product issue ... I am planning to buy something else...
Yours is the broken valve and head issue but in my case it was ABS issue for which they took 30 days and the bike was in service centre just to replace even when the bike 2019 model and was under extended warranty for 5 years even though the bike was 2 years old not much drivng due to covid and now i am facing the issue again the bike is nt starting and they told it was a relay problem and have cleaned and fixed the relay which connections were loose have to wait now again for facing the problem
I feel very sad for your experience with your himalayan 2021. I own a 2021 himalayan too and i have driven 13000 kms till date and have faced no big issues. I had a 1500 kms ride after just 2000 kms and i faced no issues at all. I do feel royal enfield must have a strict quality check for every motorcycle they deliver. Again i still feel very bad for you for such a bad experience. I hope you get your bike replaced as well
I feel bad about your experience with the bike. Honestly, something still tells me that you might not have treated the poor thing very well too: 1. Did you give it a chance for proper break-in? 2. You waited for the whole valve to break? I mean didn't you get any abnormal sound or anything? 3. Did you get it serviced properly, oil change and stuff? 4. It occurs to me, that this bike doesn't do very well when stressed out in high temperature conditions, I mean every bike does this, except for the 7.5bhp Honda or Bajaj maybe. Considering, did you give it some break between extensive kilometres? I'm not a huge fan of RE service experience, but I can guarantee, you might be able to find at least one good guy in one of the service centers. Rest regarding the quality of materials, I have heard this from some other people also, I do hope RE seriously looks into this. I'd suggest to go for some lower displacement bike that doesn't heat up. Stalling at 100kmph is very dangerous.
It is possible he did not treat the Himalayan well but still motorcycles from Japanese manufacturers like Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki will not have such issues even with bad treatment. Even Bajaj's premium offerings like Dominar etc are very good quality bikes. Also modern engines are well built and even if you don't do any break in, they still run good (no breakin on my FZ25 and runs goods at 60k). Problem is RE is using really old engine design and has a reputation for sub standard parts. That is changing but the issues are there.
@@SaiMilindVlogs Change the service center and write a mail to RE. At least they have never disappointed me when such issues were brought to their notice. Again bro, you're riding the bike, so you only would know best. I hope they fix the bike properly, see the thing is this bike is very simple: not much is there that can go wrong. If you have got poor quality parts, document it and mail RE with exact issue, attempted resolution, and after effect. PS: I have the BS4 Snow myself: 55k km and still going strong, sustained a couple of crashes, no chassis break, nothing. I have had to have the cylinder head replaced at 37k km, because somehow they don't sell valve-guides: mine had developed huge tappet noise issues and tappet setting wasn't doing any good.
I was planning for Himalayan after getting this type of messages i bought reborn 350.still in some points i like Himalayan but i think my decision was correct that i bought reborn 350
I took delivery of my new himalayan next morning it was not starting. I called RE they said they will send the technician home, After the struggling technician told me I have to take this bile to the service center, he told me to call RSA then i got pissed off and called the service center manager then they said the customer has to call RSA, then after calling RSA they came and took the bike to service center after and technician told me battery problem and they replaced it and after 2 days only i got my new bike back. it was a nightmare for me.
My problem weren't solve till now I've been facing like engine noise through instrument cluster The sound is like (kok kok kok) And secondly I've issues with rear suspension making noise I took the bike to showroom and showed them and right after they fixed the rear suspension issue It started making noise again after few days And thirdly rear brake noise problem wasn't fixed properly till now I'm really disappointed with the service centre Please respond Sir
it happen same ive clean tank it had some issue by some sand on it and also removed clean tank it did same they did update on ecu than work agian on3rd service they did ecu update and now bike feels under power also had relay changes
I have a 2021 model, same as the BS4 as we don't have the emissions requirements. 10,000 kms, first oil change at 500 km, second at 2000, 3rd at 5000, just done the 4th now at 10,000 kms. No issues whatsoever apart from a dead battery at 7 months old, but was expecting that.
Going with gs310 is far better option, that's a different thing that maintainanc and price is high. But BMW have great quality and customer service. Plus they offer RSA at very genuine price which covers all india. Means if God forbid bike breaks down during long trips , free of cost your vehicle will be delivered to nearest service center + your cab fare to the nearest city.
I have Himalayan ba6 2020 model after riding 9000kms many types of noises are coming from engine I visited nearby service centre they just saying it’s a normal sound actually they didn’t able to diagnose noise….. Worst decision ever to purchase Himalayan
Single cylinder thumpers need to have there valves checked often less you have hard starts and run risk of damaging valves, rods and the head. I suspect the valves where not properly set at the factory and some dealers either made assumptions they where fine because the bike being newer or where just to lazy or incompetent to check. The relay has been a known issue for awhile and it concerns me that they are so slow to address it. Royal Enfields initial response to your situation is disturbing. I was going to trade in my Honda and buy a RE Himalayan in about a month but I live about 90miles from the nearest dealer and I am not interested in a companies product if they don’t stand by it. I am a small engine mechanic but that doesn’t mean I want to fit the repair bills and be constantly working on a new bike that I should be riding. Have you heard of any issues with the 2022’s yet. I would hope they at least rectified the relay issue.
BS3 batch was the worst of the lot. Majority of horror stories are from the Bs3 batches. One google search or RUclips search will show you. I think you just got lucky
Bro, I have already seen your post on Facebook about your bike issues, it's a big shame for RE I also have Himalayan 2021 but I think 4pin relay is pre-fitted on it so I haven't faced any stalling and starting issue till date but I am facing few issues since from day one of purchase 1. Bike runs smooth till 5 kms but after that it's starts giving power lag / jerk kind of issue only @ lower RPM in between 1.7k to 2.9k . I can feel it more while maintaining a constant speed @ low rpm level.. this happens only after engine get heated 2. After raiding 10 to 15 kms engine produces some tik tik sound in idel and it's increases whenever I move the bike in first gear slowly buy using the clutch lever and the sound goes away completely as soon as I release the clutch and rpm raises this happens only after engine get heated 3. I can hear some small rattling sound.. little more on 3 rd gear and less on top gears while twisting the throttle on highways this also occurs when the engine get heated All above 3 problem Occurs only when the engine is hot .. but in warm / cold condition the problem goes away... Don't know what to do, visited 2 different service centers but they are not ready to take my complaint..
@@SaiMilindVlogs bro, I just want to know about Ecu update as you said in your video.. I want to try that but here @ my location the service center people don't know about that and even they are not ready to check the parameters set in ecu by connecting it with their digital tools
I own Royal Enfield Thunderbird 2013 Model, it's been 9 years now, i would have spent four times the cost of bike as a maintenance and spare parts replacement. Now thinking w hy shouldn't i bought premium adventures bikes like Triumph Tiger / KTM 390 adventure / BMW G 310 GS / Honda CB 500X / Honda Twin Africa etc. I personally feel that royal Enfield is making more money through services and spare parts replacement. So those who are planning to buy new bike, compare the maintenance cost of various bikes. It seems to be a pride to own royal Enfield, but in reality it doesn't seems to be an reliable companion ☹️
I appreciate you sharing your experience with the motorcycle and service. I just purchased a 2022 Himalyan but due to cold winter weather here in the US, I've only been able to put 110 miles on it. So far, the motorcycle hasn't had any issues but I will keep in mind the issues you have raised. Hopefully I won't have any issues but it's good to know where to look if I do.
The exported bikes are better quality and would not face any issues as such
@@Amartyamandal007 I'll find out as the weather warms and the roads clear. More snow and ice last night. The Himalayan continues to hibernate.
I am using himalayan BS6 2021 November. Covered 11.4k kilometres.

@@ScooterintheSticks These are minor issues which I experienced. I am happy with the motorcycle. Hope you do good... Have a great time :)
Thank you bro for this video. I was planning to buy RE, though I own an Electra since 2014. I will switch to Yezdi
YEZDI is a great bike
Nice decision bro
stick to ur iron cast bullet...
But there are some shortcomings, I own yezdi.
i moved from electra to meteor350. so far good. did mumbai-spiti-mumbai ride few months back
Hi Sai,
Just thought i would pass my experience on to you and your subscribers.
i was captivated by the reviews and simplicity of the RE Himalayan had a test ride on one last June and was really surprised. You can easily flat foot it and its road presence is larger than you think, it is under powered but we have a lot of country winding roads and a lot of easy green lanes near us.
Its no Honda but gives you more confidence on gravel roads because if you drop it you won’t damage anything its built like a tractor. I swapped My Honda for a 2022 second hand Himmy with all the bells and whistles metal panniers, engine Guards,.spot lights with only 147 miles on the clock. At 300 miles i decided to change the oil and filter as suggested in the service schedule made sure i took it easy for the first thousand miles. I went to north Wales with my two sons for a three day tour every time we stopped for a break or get petrol the bike would not start first or second time but would start eventually. After some research on you tube it was a faulty relay switch so i replaced them all and the problem was fixed. The first week in January on the first dry day i went for a spin, about three miles from home i was going uphill at 50mph and the engine just died it would turn over but not start so i let it cool down turn round and head down the hill to bump start it, It did go and got me home but was making a horrible rattling noise. I got in touch with royal enfield they picked it up and took it to the nearest dealer to me. They got in touch on Monday its got to have a top engine rebuild camshaft new barrell and piston total cost £895.00, so for a bike that is only 9 months old and covered 2000 miles is a lot of money. Royal enfield won’t cover the cost because i did the first oil and filter change thereby invalidating the two year warranty.
Foot note ... I passed my bike test in 1972 on a Honda S90 Sport and since then have had many bikes i am no mechanic but have always changed the oil and filter on my bikes at three or four thousand miles weather it needed it or not, in my mind i thought it would prolong the life of the bike. So to sum up if anybody is interested in a second hand R E Himmy, before you go ahead make sure it has got RE approved service history.
All the best Bob
Thanks Mate:)
Could you please describe the rattling sound? I am having a terrible thin metallic slapping sound, that is NOT valve noise, that is irregular and it seems to come from the very top of the engine head. It is present only after the engine warms up after some distance has been travelled. I adjusted my valves 3 times already at a total of 8000km. Should I be worried?
The Himalayan ownership is like gamble. Those who got good lot are happy and those got bad or faulty unit, are watching nightmare
100%✓
I was wondering why that one guy from my locality was trying to sell his 2022 himalayn on olx 🤣🤣
I have to say well done for sticking with it. What a nightmare that not only inconveniences you, but surely must make you lose all trust in your bike. I really hope you don't have any further issues!
I own a 2019 Himalayan never faced any major issues try apart from cone set issue which is like a pakka issue you will get in every Himalayan, but in Bs6 bike alot of people are complaining about the relay issue. They have tuned the ecu in Bs6 which made cruising at highe speed better but these kind of quality issues are really annoying.
Same here....my 2019 model never faced any major issues
You will for sure
Thank You for sharing Brother 👍
Glad you liked it brother:)
This video is absolute horror, as an motor head i feel very bad for you bro , I used to adore r.e. It doesn't matter how much heritage a brand has, what matters is how good is their customer service is. Hope all the issues get fixed!
Fingers crossed, now the bike is running fine:)
Thanks for sharing this video, until now only the 'not' starting issue, but ecu update fixed that. Hope it will stay good now. Grts from Belgium.
Sorry you had to go thru that! They look like good bikes but have quality issues like everything else! Good luck!
Thanks for sharing the video, in the USA they refer to a vehicle that breaks down a lot as a lemon. You and I both seem to have lemons. My 2021 Himalayan had the speedometer vibrate apart at only 1,300km. Then the swing arm froze up at 1,600km. Then the left front directional broke off due to engine vibration. Then directly after that the bike began constantly stalling everywhere including in traffic, which as you said is frightening and dangerous. RE was unable to fix the constant stalling to this day and the bike has 13,600km. Then my steering head bearings went out at 9,000km and had to be replaced. Right now, my transmission suddenly became very difficult to get in and out of gear, and I was told that gear cogs will likely need to be replaced within the transmission. Transmission rebuild at 13,600km? That's insane. I have never had this many problems in all the bikes I have owned combined over 40 plus years of riding. And this bike pretty much stays in a broken state, having problems developing on top of problems. It has never been running 100% since the day I bought it. And these problems are from street use, I have never really taken it off road. That is what we call a lemon, which is a very sour experience. I am thinking of selling it if I can ever get it fixed. So far I have never been able to fix it long enough to sell it. But if I do, I plan on buying a 250 V-Strom. Pretty much the same or better performance on freeways, better economy, and much better reliability which means I can ride again without fearing daily breakdowns. I like the Himmy when it runs, but a bike is about reliable transportation. If a bike or car is not reliable and is a one way vehicle, (having to be brought home on a trailer) then it is not worth keeping.
Not a single problem here for the first 10k, except start up when parked overnight below -5°C…Assembly and QC was done in Austria (at least for my part of Europe) and haven’t faved much issues. Changed the og battery for a japanese one and no problems whatsoever. Indian QC needs regulations that’s all.
I have supension issue after 2 months of purchasing , the tapet set is not good as bs4 ,
Ahha...
Great u didnt bow down.. but the thing is your relay issue is a known problem among himalayan community and u did a mistake relying on the service center to fix it for you, they would just replace the same quality relay, instead the real problem is the grease they use on the connectors for relay which comes loose during the ride, u could have just cleaned the relay ports and use better quality relays.
Owning an himalayan is not for faint of hearts, people without any mechanical knowledge of servicing a bike will have a frustrating time with it.
I Booked RE Classic 350, never heard any significant issues on that. Hopefully wont experience any too. Your video is informative, thanks!
Glad it helped you:)
Since your video there have been similar issues on the US based bikes. The ECU update seemed to have fixed the stalling issue. There are still other issues with various components on the bike. My bike has been great but I personally know people that have bad bikes like yours. Hopefully the 2023 models have better build quality.
Got my bike few days ago, and on the 130km trip back home I started to notice that it wouldn't start right away. I first tought it was an issue with bein in gear and not in neutral, but after I got home and wanted to start the bike - it wouldn't work. Every fifth try it would start.
I contacted the dealer and they sent me a replacement relay, and after that the problem was fixed. The anoying thing was that I asked the dealer about this problem before buying the motorcycle, and they told me that they only came across the issue once in all the bikes they sold, and that they replace the relays as soon as the bike comes as a preventitive measure. It seems not on my bike.
I hope this was the only issue and that I will not have any fuel pump or something that happened to you.
Hopefully bro ❤️
Don’t worry you can get your battery checked & wiring checked in warranty.
@@mrvk699 the battery problem is usually within the first year?
I agree to you brother my Scram 411 head got replaced at 3500km and 2 months it was in service station in 7 months ECU , wire harness and engine also failed
RE mechanics are of different levels. Some of them don't even know how to remove the service symbol after servicing .
True:)
Bought Himalayan in 12 Sept 2018, except for chassis crack on the second year after purchase which RE replaced it for free.
Cone bearing gets changed after every 3-4 months. Wearable like clutch cables, front wheel rims changes twice, but engine and its parts not changed even once. 45,000 km only in Odeometer.
The bike is absolutely working well.
Sorry to hear ur story cause we are all Himi owners.
I am so sorry you have had such a negative experience. I have a 2021 Himalayan. I replaced the relay after I heard of some of these problems. I also had to replace a defective temperature sensor. Recently the gear position indicator has quit. I have 14,000 km on my bike currently. I live in Canada. I am a little nervous because I often travel alone to very remote areas. I carry a GPS communicator; however, it could be a long time and very expensive, if I have to be rescued.
I have a 2022 Himalayan. It has around 1000 kms since I got it, the only issue I had was the compass which has stopped working. The dealer replaced the whole instrumentation panel and now the compass is gone. RE through this dealer said the compass has been taken off the new panels and where the compass used to be is now the gear indicator. I’m unsure if this is true for all new Himalayans.
I had all the same issues for the same model. Seems like this issue is very common. What a QA from RE
True:)
I have exactly the same problem, I bought it in 2022 and since winter here in Norway the motorcycle goes and comes from the workshop because it doesn't start.
This is true. I am himalayan owner 2017 model. The ground reality is pathetic. I am facing too many problems since 2019 and even changed entire gear assembly and crank case.
RE service center don’t really care to actually solve issue unless you escalate. i think it’s because their business is good with so many bikes being serviced. RE should investigate and bring better processes at service center level
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 well said
Even I've Himalayan, I totally agree with you!
I'm in Australia, and have been considering buying a RE, BUT, what has me worried, is that most of the used one's advertised, have done less than 10,000 kilometres! That suggests that either the bikes aren't what the sellers had hoped for, or there may be quality issues with the brand.
I feel your pain... I love my Himalayan but a few weeks ago, after a 1 hour morning journey, I started the engine to go home and had terrible trouble starting, it would not idle and I had to keep the revs high until the engine was hot, then the engine was good, it happened again the next morning but in the afternoons it would not start again with no indication as to why. I replaced the spark plug as there was no spark with with the original with and no success with new plug, so the bike was recovered to my home. The next morning my mechanic started the bike OK but with an engine management fault. When he got it to the shop it had no spark again. After checking the EMS he found there was a throttle position sensor problem. RE will only supply the complete throttle housing and not just the sensor, so look at several hundred US$ for this. My mechanic tells me that Japanese bike producers can supply the throttle position sensor alone.
If RE want to destroy their brand and reputation, it appears they are doing it; same with the cheap relays which also cause a problem.
My bike has always started first time regardless of the temperature and weather. Now I am unable to trust it for now. It is a 2020 version.
Are RE saving money with cheap Chinese parts?
Hopefully now it is fine:)
@@SaiMilindVlogs yes but the problem is 'doubt', the bike starts first time even when very cold, it is very easy to lose faith
Honda doesn‘t sell TPS alone, same problem….
I went through the same issue and my bike is lying at the service centre till date. Pathetic condition for owners facing the same. RE really needs to take care of such failures
Hope you're bike gets back soon:)
I own RE Classic 350 drove almost 50k km but haven't faces any major yet and recently got my Himalayan granite black and i drove more than 340km in first day of delivery but i haven't faced any issues yet.
Good For you bro:)
I am also owning the same model Himalayan ( Mirage silver) I was also facing the same same issue which bro was facing till now . Today there is no problems that I have faced in my early days i have made a complaint to the royal Enfield plant and they given me a warranty claim for the part which was making my bike these problems ( the problem which have faced in my bike was in the relay - the male port and the female port both of the parts were complaint and these were manufacturing defect today I am happy and my bike is safe and perfectly ok
Good advice sir....
This video makes me sooo sad. 😢
My Himalayan is from 24-April-2021. I have faced all sort of relay and fuel pump issues...
But what you had faced about the engine in the middle of a ride is just too much..
Hope RE takes care of these issue by not harassing the owner who are facing issues in the bikes and fixing the problem propely and quickly under warranty....
Keep riding 🤘🏻
Hopefully your bike is fine now:)
I think i too have same problem....my bike is not starting when engine gets heats up....after 20 to 30 mins when engine cools down the bike starts again...i gave it to 3 service center but they could not solve it....now i am not understanding what do .... still i have problem with my bike ...I purchased my bike on may 31 2021 i has been 10 months only...what to do with this bloody Himalayan...plsss plsss plsss help me..
I was really thinking to get himalyan over yezdi adventure. But I was concerned about the after sales of yezdi. Now even after getting himlayan if after sales is so pathetic, i am not sure what to get 😅.
Just get Honda Hiness 350
V Strom SX
Just get the XL100 😅 reliable piece of "art"
There are battery issues that I am facing. My Himalayan is 15 months old, and the fuel pump had a manufacturing defect. It took RE service centre almost 10 days to find the problem. They replaced the fuel pump under warranty. Now I am facing battery issues. Sometimes I really doubt ; one should really spend 1-2 lacs and go for KTM 390 Adv or Honda 500X
Thanks for the sharing this video, this will definitely help everyone who’s in dream of buying Himalayan bike (Just like myself) Heard lots of quality and servicing issue from RE. Will drop the plan of buying RE now. Cheers!!!
Bro iam also facing the exact issues like you mine 2021 model it’s been 5 months…
4500km around travelled…
Facing issue with start and suddenly stops while in ride
Twice stopped in the middle of traffic..
I asked re service centre locally they said we changed the valve ( I have kept my bike for 2 days with service centre)…
Again facing the same issue and asked the service centre they said keep bike for some more days… we can fix it and make a call to you… yesterday only happened with me….
Such a bad quality and such a terrific experience I have lost the belief in RE…
I am having similar issues with my back it was the 12 th month if my purchase, they told me its the fuel pump which needed to be replaced.. and i will have to wait for 2 months to avail the warranty..
My friend have bs4 2019 model. He has not even ridden 6k km and he already have changed battery, cone set. And even after changing these, it wouldn't start sometimes and there is always a noise coming from below handle bar. He is so pissed off that nowadays he won't even ride. Now rusting has started already standing in parking lot.. He tried to sell but nobody wants to buy.
Thank you Sir...Mera bike main same problem hotha hai...4 month main 2 time create problem...aur abhi Mera bike workshop main Hai...abhi taak observation main rakha hai...problem solve nahi ho raha hai.
Bro believe it or not face same problem on Himalaya 2021 same pine green colour😔
Keep us up to date with this , do you have your bike back yet , very concerning, i hope this is resolved quickly for you , extremely sad situation
Hi , my bike is back bro:)
That is a seriously concern, thanks for the heads up. I just purchased the new Himalayan and have stalling issues from day one. Engine cuts out at low rpm and in gear as well. Plus the speedometer mists up so you cannot see the speed or digital information. The bike is great otherwise. RE haven't acknowledged the enginestalling as a known fault but have issued a fix.
One question off this topic - can I ask what the make of hand guards you have on your Himalayan?
Hi bro, hand guards are default Royal Enfield official ones only, got it from service centre:)
Bhai same mere sat huga same problem ab 3 service problem thik karke diya hai
I have purchased this 2021 model. I m facing issue of bad noise when drive. Like a vibration. It is big and huge noise feeling bad to drive. I want to know,Is th issue only for this or anyone facing this issue? Why this and What is th remedy
I think it is normal, though get it checked once in service centre:)
Really appreciate showing in important issue sharing experience on Royal Enfield Himalayan bike.
Am honur of Royal Enfield Electra 2012
Now am planning to go for Yezdi Adventure bike.
Test drive and decide bro:)
i got mine mid of 2021 and it has now around 7000km on it... Issues so far: dashboard had water in it .. was replace new one had a bit less water now. Engine stall mid rider ... i replace the fuel pumpe relay, so far it works. what makes me nervous is the oil consumption on my bike. after around 400km i have to fill up to get at least to min. beside that i love that tractor. greetings from germany.
I have heard this from couple of fellow riders too, one of the rider from my group said that valves got bent due to backflow in manifold and they held his motorcycle in service center for almost 20 days and they got valve head assembly replaced. I bought Himalayan recently and I noticed a strange vibration especially between speeds 55-60 KMPH during which a rattling sound similar to tappet noise. However there are no vibrations till 100 KMPH. I have asked RE technicians to check but they say everything is fine, I am having patience and will only get to know the engine performance when I clock 10,000 Kms on motorcycle as I cannot comment at the moment since it's too early to judge!
As you said not all Himalayan owners are facing this issue, let's see how it goes for me. But I hope your motorcycle issues are resolved.
Happy riding bro ❤️
I am facing the same issue here it's been a heel of a problem to me
Iam planning for Himalayan do I go for it or not ??
@@P.S.R.. you can now or wait a year for 450 Himalayan it's expected to be great
I am also facing the same issue after the first service and its been 1.5 years and multiple runs to the service centre, still no F*ing solution . pathetic service from RE.
@ sai milind. THANX for sharing. Wit proof. . Also u said u were riding with ur friend who has yezdi. Did he face any problems of any sort on the yezdi. Hows reliablity?
Ahh my friend has jawa 42 bro, he really didn't have any issues. Only thing is lack of service centres and cost of service is too costly:)
Ture I agree I am getting bombarded with folk issue of RE Himalayan / I went to service center they ask to change cone set, hand bar inside few other items of bike after changing everything new in bike paying 7k...I had the same issue I took to same service center more than 4 times , they fix after 2 weeks same folk issue gets repeated wittern mails to RE no use still having the same problem no value for money ...
I can feel the pain bro , same issues bro , 6months bike fuel pump gone fuel relays gone battery dead . Stalling issues rpm use to drop just frustrated with this Royal Enfield product never expected this quality . Even ball racers gone in a week of purchase .
I purchased my bike on 8th of July 2022 and now today I am facing starting issue on my bike .you can imagine how frustrating it’s for me
The first issue of the bike not starting is a common one it is the relay. You cannot hear the fuel pump. Why was this clip so long?
Thanks for the feedback. I was planning to book this month. I will cancel now.
In Germany we called a Problem Bike like yours a Monday Bike. Hope the Things will be better now
😂😂
Appreciate you for the way you explained...
Thank You, Stay SUBSCRIBED:)
looks like the Bajaj Dominar is better huh ?
Depends bro:)
Bro the solution for all this is to take your bike first to analyse the issue with a good mechanic and learn yourself to rectify it, then come back to the service center and demand them to do the job. RE service centres are really pathetic,they don't know how to treat their customer. They won't be able to find out the real cause of any issues so that they won't be able to rectify that.
Himalayan is a great machine bro.
Should try that bro:)
bro I'm facing the same issue of bike stalling & auto off issue even on high speeds & RE service center is unable to fix the issue, someone suggested to use ROOTS brand relay instead of stock, i don't know what to do ... should i change or not....!!!!
Now service centres and changing a new 4 pin relay bro, first do it. If you have done it and still the problem persists, then try third party relays:)
@@SaiMilindVlogs yes they did but the issue is still there & i again visit the service centre for the same issue, & they were unable to solve the issue…they kept my bike for whole day & finally the set RPM by default at 1🤦🏻♂️…& i was like seriously🤷🏻♂️…now the sound of the bike is annoying…they were just roaming around with my bike whole day..bloody a**wh****….I’m going to switch to ROOTS …let’s see what happens.
@@rm7244 bro, there is no difference between the RE latest 4 pin relay and the roots relay, the RE 4 pin relays are slightly better than the roots brand...I tried on my Himalayan 2021, but still I am facing power lag issue on low RPM...
For the last few years the RE quality has reduced alot... rather it's with all manufacturers....it is common now that u purchase a product n after that u need to chase customer care n dealers.. n fact is they will always try to repair it not replace it.....as a buyer we will certainly think that when we are purchasing new product then why we shud get repaired... Otherwise better we buy used items..
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH IT....
I bought the very last BS4 in NZ Made in September; no ABS and carburreted. I have had no issues in 18000km...I like it...!
Carburettor is Heaven.. U won't find any issues
I agree sir i have a 2018 carby no abs have 28,000kms no problems
same happend with me but i was lucky they resolved my but i want to know what is the real issue behind this many user are facing the same problem
True:)
Is it himalyan is fine to buy or not ?? It is worth?
Brother.. this is like my story.. I purchased my himalayan on 21st feb 2021. I had this following issue.
1. Malfunction indication lamp was glowing continuesly
2.Bike not started
3.Bike got stall and off while 100 kmph
4.O2 sensor changed
5.Relay changed
6.wiring harness changed
Now all issue solved.. but engine tappet noise is coming. I donno wer it will go..
Dear I am a 2020 BS-VI (6) owner. The problem you are facing of faulty battery. Get it replaced under warranty.I also got my battery replaced in 2021 November although I bought bike in Jan End 2020. I got everything coil, relay, wiring, starter, plug checked. Finally it was traced that the battery from Amaron was creating issues because all BS-VI bikes are sensor loaded Ecu bikes & due to low recharging (due to inherent problem in battery) was why I was having this problem .
Bro. Evryone in indian motorcycle industry is making money on Battery.
All these thieves had the same master.
Never ever think that it was some random issue when after one year of purchase, the 🔋 problem Kicks in.
By production this batteries grade are degraded purposefully. So that it lives till 1-yr perfectly.
Bro am planning to book mine this week. So what am I supposed to do now? Tho am a Big fan of RE but this video made me feel sick.
You can't really do anything, pray that you get bike without issues:)
Thanks for sharing this.... I wanted to buy this motorcycle but after seeing many other video about their defaulty product issue ... I am planning to buy something else...
Glad it helped:)
Yours is the broken valve and head issue but in my case it was ABS issue for which they took 30 days and the bike was in service centre just to replace even when the bike 2019 model and was under extended warranty for 5 years even though the bike was 2 years old not much drivng due to covid and now i am facing the issue again the bike is nt starting and they told it was a relay problem and have cleaned and fixed the relay which connections were loose have to wait now again for facing the problem
Thanks for sharing the experience, I will think twice as I was planning to buy this
We work so hard to purchase a motorcycle and then facing such issues with the motorcycle is such a pain.
I feel very sad for your experience with your himalayan 2021. I own a 2021 himalayan too and i have driven 13000 kms till date and have faced no big issues. I had a 1500 kms ride after just 2000 kms and i faced no issues at all. I do feel royal enfield must have a strict quality check for every motorcycle they deliver. Again i still feel very bad for you for such a bad experience. I hope you get your bike replaced as well
❤️
I feel bad about your experience with the bike. Honestly, something still tells me that you might not have treated the poor thing very well too:
1. Did you give it a chance for proper break-in?
2. You waited for the whole valve to break? I mean didn't you get any abnormal sound or anything?
3. Did you get it serviced properly, oil change and stuff?
4. It occurs to me, that this bike doesn't do very well when stressed out in high temperature conditions, I mean every bike does this, except for the 7.5bhp Honda or Bajaj maybe.
Considering, did you give it some break between extensive kilometres?
I'm not a huge fan of RE service experience, but I can guarantee, you might be able to find at least one good guy in one of the service centers.
Rest regarding the quality of materials, I have heard this from some other people also, I do hope RE seriously looks into this.
I'd suggest to go for some lower displacement bike that doesn't heat up. Stalling at 100kmph is very dangerous.
It is possible he did not treat the Himalayan well but still motorcycles from Japanese manufacturers like Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki will not have such issues even with bad treatment. Even Bajaj's premium offerings like Dominar etc are very good quality bikes. Also modern engines are well built and even if you don't do any break in, they still run good (no breakin on my FZ25 and runs goods at 60k).
Problem is RE is using really old engine design and has a reputation for sub standard parts.
That is changing but the issues are there.
One of the best reply I’ve ever seen in my life… maintaining the bike is seriously an art
Bro I did everything as you mentioned above, as you can see it is not that one or two times , i literally gave it to service 13 freaking times:)
@@SaiMilindVlogs Change the service center and write a mail to RE. At least they have never disappointed me when such issues were brought to their notice. Again bro, you're riding the bike, so you only would know best. I hope they fix the bike properly, see the thing is this bike is very simple: not much is there that can go wrong. If you have got poor quality parts, document it and mail RE with exact issue, attempted resolution, and after effect.
PS: I have the BS4 Snow myself: 55k km and still going strong, sustained a couple of crashes, no chassis break, nothing. I have had to have the cylinder head replaced at 37k km, because somehow they don't sell valve-guides: mine had developed huge tappet noise issues and tappet setting wasn't doing any good.
Could you please describe that extra tappet noise? Mine is doing some strange metallic clapping noise at the top of the head.
I was thinking to buy Himalaya or interceptor but now I changed my dicision I will buy yezdi adventure it will be better.
bh4 doesn't have any problem i rode more than 1800 km in 6 days no issue arise.. only bh6 got problems
I was planning for Himalayan after getting this type of messages i bought reborn 350.still in some points i like Himalayan but i think my decision was correct that i bought reborn 350
I took delivery of my new himalayan next morning it was not starting. I called RE they said they will send the technician home, After the struggling technician told me I have to take this bile to the service center, he told me to call RSA then i got pissed off and called the service center manager then they said the customer has to call RSA, then after calling RSA they came and took the bike to service center after and technician told me battery problem and they replaced it and after 2 days only i got my new bike back. it was a nightmare for me.
Hope everything is fine now:)
@@SaiMilindVlogs yes afterwords there is no problem .. 🙏
Same issue facing with my Feb-21 purchase.
QC of RE plant just Terrible.
How is your bike now?
My problem weren't solve till now
I've been facing like engine noise through instrument cluster
The sound is like (kok kok kok)
And secondly I've issues with rear suspension making noise
I took the bike to showroom and showed them and right after they fixed the rear suspension issue
It started making noise again after few days
And thirdly rear brake noise problem wasn't fixed properly till now
I'm really disappointed with the service centre
Please respond Sir
Probably shoot a mail to re customer care, it must help:)
Bro did you maintain bike properly?
Obviously yes bro:)
What about the new Himalayan
it happen same ive clean tank it had some issue by some sand on it and also removed clean tank it did same they did update on ecu
than work agian on3rd service they did ecu update and now bike feels under power also had relay changes
I have a 2021 model, same as the BS4 as we don't have the emissions requirements. 10,000 kms, first oil change at 500 km, second at 2000, 3rd at 5000, just done the 4th now at 10,000 kms. No issues whatsoever apart from a dead battery at 7 months old, but was expecting that.
Damn you are lucky
@@praveene5921 i sold my 2018 at 40,000 kns, still wasn't burning any oil. Only sold it to get one with switchable abs
Bro what about the windshield noise????
I have facing this issue
Not facing that bro:)
Going with gs310 is far better option, that's a different thing that maintainanc and price is high. But BMW have great quality and customer service. Plus they offer RSA at very genuine price which covers all india. Means if God forbid bike breaks down during long trips , free of cost your vehicle will be delivered to nearest service center + your cab fare to the nearest city.
bro so what will happen with your bike?
Bike is back bro:)
i heard same issues with many people quality issue with the material used.
:)
I have Himalayan ba6 2020 model after riding 9000kms many types of noises are coming from engine I visited nearby service centre they just saying it’s a normal sound actually they didn’t able to diagnose noise…..
Worst decision ever to purchase Himalayan
I also own Himalayan bs6 for everything is working so well so for. May be few bikes has got problems but not all the Himalayan bikes.
Good for you bro;)
Single cylinder thumpers need to have there valves checked often less you have hard starts and run risk of damaging valves, rods and the head. I suspect the valves where not properly set at the factory and some dealers either made assumptions they where fine because the bike being newer or where just to lazy or incompetent to check. The relay has been a known issue for awhile and it concerns me that they are so slow to address it. Royal Enfields initial response to your situation is disturbing. I was going to trade in my Honda and buy a RE Himalayan in about a month but I live about 90miles from the nearest dealer and I am not interested in a companies product if they don’t stand by it. I am a small engine mechanic but that doesn’t mean I want to fit the repair bills and be constantly working on a new bike that I should be riding. Have you heard of any issues with the 2022’s yet. I would hope they at least rectified the relay issue.
Hopefully!
Surprisingly my BS3 Himalayan 2016 doesn't give me any such trouble even after doing 39000 Kms. Have they brought down their quality?
💯
BS3 batch was the worst of the lot.
Majority of horror stories are from the Bs3 batches.
One google search or RUclips search will show you.
I think you just got lucky
Thank god. I bought interceptor 650 over Himalayan 411 this January 2022 ..
I know Royal Enfield service stations sucks 😅
Interceptor is a great machine bro:)
Bro, I have already seen your post on Facebook about your bike issues, it's a big shame for RE
I also have Himalayan 2021 but I think 4pin relay is pre-fitted on it so I haven't faced any stalling and starting issue till date but I am facing few issues since from day one of purchase
1. Bike runs smooth till 5 kms but after that it's starts giving power lag / jerk kind of issue only @ lower RPM in between 1.7k to 2.9k . I can feel it more while maintaining a constant speed @ low rpm level.. this happens only after engine get heated
2. After raiding 10 to 15 kms engine produces some tik tik sound in idel and it's increases whenever I move the bike in first gear slowly buy using the clutch lever and the sound goes away completely as soon as I release the clutch and rpm raises this happens only after engine get heated
3. I can hear some small rattling sound.. little more on 3 rd gear and less on top gears while twisting the throttle on highways this also occurs when the engine get heated
All above 3 problem Occurs only when the engine is hot .. but in warm / cold condition the problem goes away...
Don't know what to do, visited 2 different service centers but they are not ready to take my complaint..
Try mailing to Royal Enfield bro, it surely helps:)
@@SaiMilindVlogs bro, I just want to know about Ecu update as you said in your video.. I want to try that but here @ my location the service center people don't know about that and even they are not ready to check the parameters set in ecu by connecting it with their digital tools
Im also facing Same problem 😤
@@x-hacker-2648 try using " Shell V Power" petrol...keep refilling tank 3 to 4 times you will get some good improvement.
I’m sorry you had such a miserable experience I have over 7,000 kms on mine. I seem to be one of the lucky ones.
I own Royal Enfield Thunderbird 2013 Model, it's been 9 years now, i would have spent four times the cost of bike as a maintenance and spare parts replacement. Now thinking w hy shouldn't i bought premium adventures bikes like Triumph Tiger / KTM 390 adventure / BMW G 310 GS / Honda CB 500X / Honda Twin Africa etc. I personally feel that royal Enfield is making more money through services and spare parts replacement. So those who are planning to buy new bike, compare the maintenance cost of various bikes. It seems to be a pride to own royal Enfield, but in reality it doesn't seems to be an reliable companion ☹️
True:)
Better look out for good rivals where there is quality...rather pay for the pain just for the brand sake with no customer courtesy
My byke delivery is on Monday thank you for this video
Congratulations bro, happy riding ❤️:)
Man just not got my bike delivered last Friday.
Hopefully you don't have any issues! Happy riding ❤️:)
