Hi, good to hear from you, butternut squash soup, delicious, one good thing about the winter season is all the good food that comes with it, we've been doing the same thing, stacking and chopping wood, it's a must, but to be fair it's not that biting cold yet, although I'm sure it's making its way down from the north, the bikes running great, what a difference a few kilometres makes, Royal Enfield are certainly bringing out some cracking bikes, I know what you mean about the Himalayan, I love my 411, and as I said I the video, it really is a pleasure to ride, it may take a bike longer, but that's all part of the fun, take care and join me, weather permitting on the next ride ......

Too much to do today to go out for a ride on Genie. Been chopping and stacking wood now that the weather's started t turn. Still not as cold as up your way but heading that way. But enjoyed going out with you round the coast whilst I was in the kitchen making a huge pot of butternut squash soup - the wife's incoming so I've got to look lively! Anyway, the Guerrilla looks like a lovely, fun bike. Glad you got it run in now and got the service spanner to stop flashing (I had to find out how to do it on KZbin). I'm not tempted though, but I am tempted to get a Himalayan 450 but that's a bit silly having a 410 in the garage. The new 650 Twin looks nice... Decisions, decisions. Thanks for the run out, does the cockles good to go out with somebody, even if it's only on KZbin! TTFN 😉🤪

@PAGallagher6 күн бұрын
Hi Colin, as mentioned in a previous comment (below), after the first service (500 Km) the next one is 10,000 Km so your display was correct. The older Royal Enfields including the Hunter, I had, specified an interim service at 5,000 Km but they changed the intervals recently and I think that includes the new Shotgun, it should all be in your 'Owner's Manual'. So, sit back and enjoy the next 9,500 Kms and that extra 2,000 rpm 😁👍 I did my own first service and that 'Service Overdue' message comes up every time I start up but it does disappear when I push the toggle button to the left to show 'Trip A' etc. Incidentally, how do you switch that message off? All the best, Phil (Somerset)
@droneon296 күн бұрын
Hi Phil, what threw me was when I left the dealership they said ok see you in 5000km or 6 months, but I have today spoken with them and yes, it's 10,000 or 365 days, so as you say, I've loads of time to enjoy my extra power, now to reset the service, put the bike in 6th gear, turn on the ignition, bring the service up on the screen and push the joystick to the left hold there till it resets, thanks for watching, take care ......

Hi, just wondering if UK service intervals are different to yours as the manual (here in Scotland), states that after the first 312mls (500km) service the next is indeed 12 months/6,000mls or 10,000km). That would mean the info on the clocks on your bike are correct. Might be worth checking out the owners manual. Enjoying my Guerrilla tho the frost and gritter waggons are not helping !

Hi Colin ive also fitted these bars to my playa black guerrilla. Mine cane direct from India. When researching these bars ( same as the Himalayan 450 bars) there can be problems with the big front mounting bolts coming loose even when thread locked causing issues.
