this is just a beginning..

I worked in the quality control department of an engineering industry near Viralaimalai, Tamil nadu. I had many friends who had worked in the Royal Enfield (called enfield India those times) plant in a place called Singampunari nearby. which manufactured MOFA, the moped. That facility was closed down later. Those days , the word "Quality : was the last thing in any manager's mind. QC people were seen as enemies of production. The whole MOFA plant was closed only because of quality issues.

Please go through in depth

[@karansonyphotogrpahy]

For sturdy wind visor, you should use the bajaj bushings instead of re stocks, the re bushings are not good in quality and with heavy wind the rubber tears off very fast. Use DL181010 BUSHING FROM BAJAJ as they are lil better and harder so windshield stays sturdy and holds well in heavy wind or at 110_115 km/hr speed.

[@idealmechanist7524]

Thanks for the same 👍

[@roshanshalloween]

The vibration of the wind shield is due to the headlight touching a metal rod behind it..move your headlight angle below..it will eliminate it..I faced the same espically when I fitted the gps guard..facing the same issue with the full Guage.. however my milage is 25 to 26 only...my Jerry can also got fixed at the showroom.

I'm used to japanese machines from the 70s and early 80s , and plan on coming back to biking on a Himalayan , to be honest overall at this price range some of the annoyances are not that critical , the screen vibration , no, if your going to red line the bike to the limiter what do you expect ! I will however check all you have pointed out on delivery and complain immediately if i come across anything concerning , but i am a hands on person any small annoyances i will sort myself.

Hello, firstly thanks for sharing these insightful points. I recently booked a Himalayan, and I'm expecting to take delivery of it in mid September, frankly I chose it ahead of the KTM 390 adventure simply because of value for money. After watching this video, I am thinking if I'm getting the desired quality for the money we pay. I am at a juncture where I can cancel my booking and still go for the KTM 390 adv. Do you recommend switching? I previously owned a TB350, although I loved the bike, I thought the quality for the money was not up to the mark

[@harshalshivarkar9098]

I think issues are there but all can taken care by any local/ road side mechanic. This is not possible with foreign brands. If you are touring any remote area you can easily find RE mechanic but for KTM you need to showroom. But both the bikes have much price difference. Take what you can afford and what you like.

[@idealmechanist7524]

KTM is not a adventure tourer according to me because you dont get that ride quality in KTM so go for Himalayan itself but just ensure you check all the points before delivery

The gaps in front of the handle bar clamp are no manufacturing defects but how you clamp the handlebar down to its base. Some manufacturers have them evenly spaced, on Suzukis and Husqvarnas you will find this gap at the other side facing the rider as the two forward facing screws are tightened first as per manual.

Hi , very different and informative video , but a little disappointed to see RE ignoring quality & how it was passed out of the plant after quality checks...you have mentioned in the video about checking 10 things before delivery. But how can you ensure you are seeing an oil leakage on the new bike ...all the enfields have this problem. Now that you have shown us the defects , will the showroom fix it before you take it home ?? Your problems seems to still persist and looks like you had to change the engine itself ?? Likewise do you now need to change the bike itself ?? Did RE get back to you on this ?? Or they don't care once they receive the money??? Your video was really good 👍 and informative ..now I feel that RE in india must take quality to different stage ...hope you were not threatened coz you exposed ??

Hey bro! Have they fixed the issues in your bike? If they are then, I can trust the brand otherwise there is a problem...

[@JradKbad]

Good eye and nice review. I feel some points are splitting hairs, but is it true the Royal Enfield is a premium brand in India? If so, I could see all of your points as valid. But in the the USA, you'd expect some of these fitment issues on such a lower-end budget bike. Still looks like a great product. I think other manufactures should take note of RE's price value ratio. As far as the bar clamps go, you want that gap to be there. It insures that all the clamping pressure goes into the bars and not into the riser. Though I believe the gap should be in the back. The outer frame of your rear rack looks good but it look like the forward cross brace is crooked. Thanks for the review.

[@idealmechanist7524]

Yes RE is a premium brand in India but nowadays the quality seems to be reduced but the prices are always going up the hill I agree its a great product in certain terms only. The gap on th handle bar clamps should be equally distributed on either of the sides but its not. This might lead to improper load distribution. Rear saddle has a major alignment issue even the RE representative agreed to it and they replaced it but still the new one also has lesser amount of alignment issue
