Is it directly connected to your front calliper?

I am not an expert, but it might be possible to add a battery protection circuit that disconnects it once the voltage drops below certain voltage.

This is by far the best comparison of these two bikes out there. Much appreciated! I think there is a reason why (at least for now), RE is offering both of these two bikes in parallel. Because they are so different and cater to different audiences. But if there is one more comparison I would love you to make - it would be 411 scram vs 411 Himalayan.

1. Steel rims are heavier but more durable than aluminium. These aluminium rims are not super high quality to take on hardcore offroading. Himalayan is not a hardcore offroader. Not many options though in Indian market but Himalayan is a adv. 2. Why the banter on the capability of the tyre ? Are there any parameters to judge whether a tyre can take different type of flats , deflated rolling etc ? If the tyre load index is good then it's ok. Also first time I've heard that tube type loses air slowly. I knew tubeless loses air slowly and tube type loses air instantly. 3. Yes if the tubeless rims are bent then you lose air unlike tube type because there is a tube in it. 4. People commenting about Dakar doesn't know that it's a circuit. Imagine you are off-roading somewhere and you have a puncture? Would you pick tube or tubeless rims ? Ofcourse tubeless rims makes sense especially in India where too many nails and whatnots are present in roads.

Hi Ben, I'm still facing the same issue I have changed spark plug and changed the heating sensor on silencer and checked the fuses as well and we have checked by fuel pump but still same results Please let me what is the issue

I have also brought a new guerilla 450 same engine shared with New himalayan 450 I have been facing hard gear shifts with Thud sound is it normal?

Hi Ben I am getting the new guerilla 450 this Sunday. I just wanted to ask that, can we break in the engine in a week, riding 100 kms daily from that day only, like straight out of the showroom I do 80kms, with frequent breaks ofcourse. Is it ok for the bike's health???

i will still prefer tubeless cross spoke over tube tyre. just 12.5k for pair of cross spoke wheel, for touring and not much off roading

Tube tyres are offroad oriented and adventure friendly

@ben i really liked your description of the extra shock absorbing capacity of tubed tyres compared to tubeless, outer tyre + inner tube + shock :: compared to just tyre+shock. Plain physics !

You don’t run the engine hot before draining the oil ?

not very accurate explanation. Tube tyre can lose air instantly on getting punctured. just matters on the size of the puncture. small nail-slow puncture. Thick metal object- instant puncture. Tubless tyres never works for solid hammering off-road. but more reliable for high speed on-road. For tube tyres, best option is to use tyre-catchers. in case of an instant puncture, bike will remain more stable as tyre will not come out of the rim at high speeds . On rally bikes we used tyre catchers with twin tubes. in case of puncture, we can remove the nail and inflate the 2nd tube and ride on.

I can also confirm that 28-32psi works really well i kept it for several months and did offroad as well it works good

I Hate This Tube Type Business at all. Apart form this Puncture problem 90% of the people don't know that Tube Type are not very Recommended for High Speed Cruising, you have to Use a very High quality Tube, other wise going above 120 is a Huge risk, because if the tyre pressure is Low Heat will generate & the tube will Explode causing a catastrophic Accident. There are a Lot of videos on KZbin of tube Bursting at Higher speeds.

Saarrr, taking your word after a certain past incident is not easy 🤣🤣🤣, the East coast looks parched.

I would be more concerned about broken frames than airfilters.

I am so confused now 😵‍💫 What I knew was that you can ride on tubeless for a while before it gives up but tubed ones deflate and make in really difficult to ride as soon as puncture happens… And if you have a puncture in the middle of nowhere with a tubed tire you have to change it right you can’t ride with it, would you..?

Hey Ben, you seem to have a fair bit of sand over there, how is the traction in sand with the stock tires?

Totally agree with you on this. I have been wondering if the tubeless tyre over the spoked rim was a good idea, it made the repair job difficult, it is very difficult to get that tyre to break the bead. It would have been far better if the tyres were normal tyres with a tube.

Hello Ben, I follow some colombians with their himalayan 411, last week their engine failed catastrophic, there was no oil. Long distance travel with more than 365kg… So if I were to do the same I want to know when and how to avoid the engine to die. Please tell us how to install? do you remove the washer on the spark plug? If you change the insertion dimension does that affect the effectiveness of the spark? Thanks a lot!

Can we still have tube inside tubeless rims setup?

What do you use to remove the black glue left on side panels after taking off decals? I've tried everything, but it won't come off.

Also do we need to maintain same tyre pressure or different in tubeless converted straight spoke rims?

True words! Tube setup is better…..for all terrain…completed 16000kms…only 1 puncture…maintain tyre pressure as per recommendation…no need to worry!!

You are right! If cross spokes are reliable in off road business, then dakar guys would definitely adapt it. But it isn't till this day

Ben what's the pressure for off road for 411

Anna It is possible to put newly launched tubeless rims on himalayan 411

Straight spoke rims with a tubeless conversion done, will do the job i guess.

Unsubscribed due to lack of response

How much quantity kerosene mixed with soap water ??

I'm sure the GoPro is not doing justice to the uphill climb. The way you're riding in this terrain is not easy and yes we need more drone views.

Nice video…drone part is amazing….great job brother!

I really like the tail rack can i get the link where you purchased?

hey, do they sell the pods separately, which are on top of the bag carrying your rain gear? Or is that included with erupt rackless?

2 seconds on 0 to 100 is a massive difference. Our Subaru Outback does 0 to 100 in about 10 and some change. I would LOVE it it could do that in 8 (though the chasis would likely not play along). If I manage to get the Scram (I am a married man, so it is 'a process') - a cam update will most likely be something I will go for once I will collect some more experience. Thank you for your informative, honest, down to earth videos. Much appreciated.

Please help me with the RHS mirror you have on Ben

It would be much better with the pure exhaust sound

I bought a 411 with 6k on the clock thanks to you, BS4 as well, I rode it last month, was wonderful, the things I'm going to do to it and subsequently with it :D How do you keep your bike so clean! I really want to know. I'll search for a video if you have one on the subject. Almost every other bike's internals I see is terrible, I think the key is to work on your own bike as much as possible? Looking forward to taking mine apart after a bit and rebuilding the electrical, that bike I'm buying seems to have a rat nest of wires iirc.

Its good that you are eductaing people ...keep it up....

don’t add music brother

My bike too have a tik tik noise when the engine gets heated up..does changing this could slove the problem...and how much does this cost?

Ben and Gowtham flying in slush too.. 😍🚀😎😎 run boy run mode

Great riding with spirited people!

Quantos litros de óleo vc usa na Himalayan 411?

Quantos litros de óleo vc usa no motor da Himalayan 411?

Is there any information available as to what happens to the emissions?

How are you maintaining the Tube tyre? Punctures?

Hello bro. Do we need to change the fork/oil seal if we are changing fork oil ?

This is the time to go 477cc. You already have a Powertronic and cam. Approx. 33 HP. Much more fun in the high mountains.
