thanks for sharing map,appreciated

Sorry to impose on you again. Great video

That last lane is wrecked,,, I now never venture down those on my own....

Living down near York, I’d love to know more about where you go so I can take Himalayan around there. Is that a phone you’re using as a moving map display? I use a Satmap 20 but finding a bigger display would be better.

Foot pegs look great where from can I ask??wide.

Nice, I own a 2024 bs6 411, and i’m tempted to trade for the new one. Would you do it? trade for the 450?

Also interested where you ride in North Yorkshire, as I’m in North Yorkshire too.

Would be interested to know more about the grease nipple mod for the steering head bearings.

Thanks for the update was wondering if you’d sold it in favour of the bigger bike! Can you post some more maps of where you go around Yorkshire like you did with rudland rigg? I’ve found a few but could do with trying some more

You had seat re-covered and padded?

55'000km now, no issues, zero, 2020 Bs4 model Edit: My bike was owned by a less active rider for the first 3 years and 16'000km in the last 9 months i ve done 39'000km and realized they had overheard the rear brake recall this bike was a member off i had that done, but the rear brake was fine without it, too. just to be safe. Since owning the bike, i run YSS rear shock, stiffer springs on the front, the stage 2 air filter kit, a low zard exhaust and an idle adjust to 1100rpm. EBC brake discs front and rear and sintered pads, a single HPE REGINA 525 chain and a set of steel sprockets for 40'000km, still fine. I ride every day in every weather, -8 to +40°C

Tu as une page FB ? J'ai partagé ta chaîne sur des groupes FB ...

Merci pour tout t'es conseil surtout venant de quelqu'un qui pratique 😊

A good review thank you. Mines at 20k now and still enjoying it a lot. Saw recently Cooperb say they replace the cam chain at 24k not sure I’ll do mine at that as I do the oil and filers quite regularly wondered if you have considered replacing yours. I can’t imagine not having a Himmy and it’s good Hitchocks have a ton of spares.

Awesome machines 💪

Only 24000,,,Pah just getting runin..... Iv been down to south spain and romania,,,my old girl is knocking on the door of 40thou...and even though I do,nt get off road much,,, she does not hang around... My bike weeps oil on the left side from those head bolts ,,it looks naff but I do,nt care,,, I,v never had wheel bears go or rear suspension links,,, last Oct I went riding during the floods ,,and went in deep ,over the front wheel ,,, I did damage to the coil and wiped out my new power commander (£400) the bike got me home then died,,airbox was full of water ,your mods are not a bad idea... I have yss front and back ,,they get a thumps up from me.. I,m now runnin my bike on a stock ECU with a Big bore kit,,its not recommended , I too have a tec cam ,,it does not suit me ,,I do not to rev my bike over 5000... I like the bike and hope to keep for another few yrs,,, I doubt anybody will make a Long stroke motor like this ever again...regards

Love my hi m my did notice a weep from head tightened 8mm boots and seems ok at moment

Hi love the videos, especially the ones close to home, just come back to bikes after 10 years away, up till then about 35 years on road bikes, just got a scram 411, just about to join the TRF and wondered if you knew any trails suitable for a newbie in the Redcar/Whitby area, I know you mainly ride around Glaisdale/Scarborough area but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask, cheers, Don

Beautiful roads! Thanks for posting.

Could you please let me know where you got your folding gear change for your Himmy THANKS

Can you ride it?

How do i find these places?

how s your donkey holdin up? rackin up 40'000km annually here, 40k in, gonna hit 60k this year, so far all good!

It´s a mess of Himalayan... :D but if you are fine with that, fine for me. It would gain a lot if all this mods would be cleaner.

Looked like great fun splashy splashy 😅 Question: were you running an open intake plate or the original ‘snorkel’ one? Drain hose looks worthwhile mod 🤔👍

HOW! can You be sure that the spacer is placed correctly once you add it like a spices ??? :P

Is there any details of how to fit a grease nipple to headstock? Sounds like a sensible modification.

nice work - I agree - these electrical bits need some loving to keep them reliable

Welding an extra piece on to the Lextek baffle is a great idea, I might do the same to mine. Interested to know how the sound changed. From your comments, it seems it's certainly worthwhile doing. I would also prefer mineto be quieter, but still have that nice deeper sound. plus, as you say, the massive weight saving. Cheers for the video...Jon👍

It was a great day's riding. Ade is a little tinker 😂😂

Top rideout, great watching! This right here is why I bought the himmy … what do you reckon to the new 450 ?

Nice explanation. Got the same job coming up for a Versys x-300. Don't think there's too much difference in the forks except on this versys I aim to take out some of the preload.

I turned up at my local Royal Enfield dealer the day before yesterday and he said "you're brave" cos it was a bit damp and quite cold (for round here) and the place was deserted. It's nice to see other people out and about on two wheels out of season 👍. I was thinking of changing out my two for a couple of TKCs but, after watching this, now I'm not so sure 🤣😂😆... (agree with you about the Mitas E-09's 👍). Thoroughly enjoyed your mud bath expedition! Happy New Year to you too, only 12 months late 🤣😂🤣😂 🥳

At 28:40 : "Oh fuckin 'ell.. hello!" Classic 😆🤣 Thoroughly enjoyed your video and wish I'd been there too; 🤙👍

Just got a 2021 Himalayan myself so will be giving this one a go when I get some time. Based near Halifax (Cleckheaton) so couple of hours away but looks worth the trip out. Great videos and very informative 👍👍

Good post.

nice lane -

bloody ell, nice improvements - still got it?

Were you not supposed to use stiffer springs too? Once you drill the extra holes the stock springs are likely to become too soft.

Is that in Cumbria?

improving like a good red wine! Did you put the stock rear wheel back in?

Interesting :) will got mine in a month. Can you add a post or a video where you put a link to your different mods? Like accessory bat behind the wind shield, USB charger, front suspension,... Thank you and enjoy the rides :)

OK mine has done 22thou,, and was really runnnin ok until the last storm last week. My rear brake master did the same thing (replacment £8,50) I,m runnin Kenda tyres (ok for the price) The bike been runnin sht this last week... so today I charged up the battery,,it was low ,then noticed the terminals lose.. so took out the battery to find one broken termnial,,no sweat I needed another battery anyway( but the really shit thing is I have a spare Lithium battery but its too tall ) I going to take to the dealler and get it serviced plus new chain and sprocs and battery. I swore I was not going to get a new 450,,bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbut now I,v seen it ,,I quite like the look,,,but will be keeping my old girl until about 40thou regards

I've crossed the River Dove at that ford. It gets deep(above spark plug level) and quite rocky on the far side. Go in a wide arc. The guy in the house is a top bloke,very helpful if needed

Excellent helpful video - time for me to get drilling! Thank you

Very down to earth..pun intended. Better contact with the early 😊. I have a sprint 955 and wanting to do the same. Thanks I learnt something watching this.. the Rod holder m8 shaft. Not sure what to use for the 5mm ends but I'll find something. Good info about the 8mm holes. I agree about making the emulators adjustable but you'd have to perhaps cut a lug and groove into the spacer and emulator 😮 to stop it turning as the detents would cause bit to rotate instead of adjust. Given these bikes take pillion and or luggage, the load on the suspension can change markedly and I'm not sure preload is the only adjustment you'd then need to make.. Anyway I learned a few good tricks. Thanks. Subscribed

I hate ruts!!!! hey whaats that sat nav?

aye - dunnit, the ruts at the end are nasty

Nice gnarly trail and proper Yorkshire commentary! 👍

Great vid
