Royal Enfield HIMALAYAN 450 Ownership Review | 3,000 kms & 4,000 kms Review

[@karan8417]

This channel have become my favourite tbh. Best, sensible content. Experience speaks.

[@PraveenKumar-sf4yr]

This channel is an antidote to all the other KZbinrs and content creators. It's quite amazing to see two "uncles" buck the social media so well without losing any of their self-awareness. Their self-awareness and self deprecating/self-referential humour makes it singular. They don't care about competition because they are so self-assured. It's so evident when they talk about the complaints regarding odometer console. The smile on Boski's face tells you so much. Their "competitors" could be strappy, young men who think biking is all about machismo and macho projection. But these guys having enjoyed their biking for so long bring alive the true spirit of zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. I don't usually care to comment on KZbin videos. But I had to. These guys are inspirational. I am a 45-year-old (occasional) rider and I would like to be like them when I grow older.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Oh wow! Thanks for your kind words. Cheers!

[@abhisheknayar4073]

Yes, you inspired a lot of matured riders. I just recovered from an Illness and a surgery. Booked a scram 440. All set for a calm and relaxed long ride. I gave my Bullet Standard 500 to my brother. Peace!

[@bhuvaneshrajendran8200]

On the ride dynamics, I did a round trip from BLR to Ooty to BLR via mudumali. I travelled with a pillion and luggage. No where I felt the front was light even in steep inclines. Coming from Japanese two wheeler, the refinement throws me off. But the engine didn't give up. Low end torque was never a problem. Squeeze the clutch an mm or 2 it gets the job done. Take away, if you often ride with a pillion and luggage, your looking for well mannered adventure tourer. Go and get the Himalayan.

Many thanks.

[@arundinakaran2749]

I brought this bike and it’s 1st service is due this weekend The thing I liked is the way I can handle the bike despite it being a nearly 200kg machine and that’s not what most Royal Enfield bikes can do. My bike has some rear brake issues and some sound in the rear wheel. Apart from that the bike a beast. Thanks for the positive straight approach review it gives us confidence. Love the bike the bike loves u back.

[@bigbearbangalore]

[@summerslider2487]

I guess that’s thanks to the ride by wire. I experienced the same thing here as well.

[@sukhvindersinghsukhdarshan1112]

I'm a Malaysian looking forward to get the Himalayan. Your educated and honest review impresses. I'll be getting one soon.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks. Congrats.

[@srijonroy7084]

Both scrambler 400x and the Himalayan are amazing motorcycles. The scrambler suited my taste, hence I got it. But the Himalayan is incredibly powerful and battle tested too. Noraly rode entire ladakh on it, which was a pre production motorcyle. So it's good. There are minor issues, but which motorcycle doesn't. I love the scrambler just like Bosky anna does.

Thanks a lot for making this content. As a Himalayan owner, this video is super informative and helpful!

Thank you both for such a great review. My Himalayan should hopefully show up early 2025. Very late coming to Canada

[@mesmerwolf0]

I just purchased the 25 model and am excited to start riding. I was surprised when you brought up the bike's handling of luggage, no one else I've watched about it has brought up how well it takes the luggage add-ons. That just makes me even more excited about riding.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Enjoy your rides.

[@Dave-in-France]

Hi Guys, I thoroughly enjoyed this video of 2 friends sharing their experiences of a new bike. I am currently a HIMMIE 411 owner looking and impatiently waiting for the arrival in France (my home) of the new 452. It looks very much like the bike for me, with the history of Royal Enfield and the new owners shaking RE up, with new models coming thick and fast it's an easy brand to be loyal towards. I just hope these new 452's arrive quickly as I have money burning a hole in my pocket. Subscribed.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Glad you enjoyed it! I think you'll like it more when you ride it. Best wishes.

[@kaifkhan-cd4pf]

I enjoy listening to these guys so much. The way BOSKy talks about his family Jewels The way CK laughs at every joke I love this channel's content Thank you guys Btw im just a 125cc scooter guy planning to switch to a bike, gaining more info on various types of bikes

Fantastic review. I have done 1700Km so far happy I would rate it 9/10, able to achieve 39.5 km/ltr speed between 80-90 on highway, above 100 it gives me 32-35.😂refinement levels is getting better over the time, it is rock solid like a Apache helicopter where I had a chance to ride😂😂

[@shubham_singh30]

My last trip of 420km on my himalayan 450, tripper was showing 33.1kmpl but by measuring mileage using tank full to tank full it was 30.57 kmpl, so we can't believe on tripper mileage

[@bigbearbangalore]

@shubham_singh30 my understanding is rhat thw tripper is live milage that's takes about the last 50 kms onto calculations. Tank full considers the usage of rhe last say 15 liters.

[@mrvenkatesh101]

Hold the analog stick left in the respective Trip 1 or Trip 2 resets it. Tested on mine.

[@Abhi8yt]

Yes, this works on my himalayan as well

Last saturday i was going from pune to tumkur on Himalayan 450, but due to some medical emergency at home i have to come back from Hospet. I clocked 1050 km total on that day. Before this i did 750km max in a day on Xpulse and it was very tiring. Believe me Him450 is such an easy bike to cover long distances and you will never get bored on this. Cruising between 90-100kmph i got milage of 33kmpl

[@Kudla_Couple]

To reset trip meter you can select the trip and hold the joystick button to left for some seconds till it reset. Even u can do this on the go also

[@SrcTrustMeBro]

Sir I am a follower of you for just the last year but I always watch all your videos I like your sense of humour sir. But I feel you are VERY DIPLOMATIC with all your views, as if you dont want to upset any manufacturer. Especially with RE. Why would I live with a Bike like this that has so many limitations and issues? You should suggest your audience alternative. No bike is perfect, but the Enfields have childhood problems continued till end of life.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks for being a follower. And yes I choose to be relatively neutral to all brands and models. Not just here but in life general. Nothing is perfect and no use abusing or dishing out hate to anything or anyone. A balanced and moderated view is better. Everyone is doing their best and we don't know what all constraints and struggles each has. On the outside it all seems ok but internally out of sight there may be many problems. So it's always better to be balanced in opinions and assessments and judgements! 😊🙏

Hey Bosky sir, if you are using secondary phone for navigation purpose, you can use it as Android Auto as well, :) advantage: you get Call msg WhatsApp notification on board, & if listening to music you can also control streaming media. Actual Android auto costs 20k or more but secondary phone can serve almost the same purpose :D

[@abhayvignesh7299]

Happy to see this honest review. Btw, you can just long press or hold towards the left on the Trip 1 or Trip 2 screen, might as well hold for 10 seconds, and the meter will be reset.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks. Got it! 🙏

[@saikatdas9122]

2:43 Sir, the noise may not be from the tappets, may be from the rocker arm roller which is damaged and hitting the cam lob of camshaft. So, even after checking for tappet clearance, it will make the clattering hitting noise. How to exactly pin point that, the tappet adjusting screw will go down more than the curvature of square head, inside the tappet adjusting nut, means the gap is more, and the tappet needs to go deep with respect to the rocker arm.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Well, it’s 13,500 kms on line and 16,200 kms on CKs Himalayan and the noise is still very much the same. And we are not worried and are enjoying the motorcycle.

[@pradeep080]

After 5,000 kilometers, I upgraded to a better full synthetic oil for my interceptor, followed by another oil change at 8,000 after 9 months. I'm surprised at how little heat this produces currently compared to some of the 400 and 450 cc bikes. Lower compression and load on the motor contribute significantly to refinement and heat management. The huge old-school engine casing also aids heat dissipation.

[@spacebound1705]

I did notice some noise while riding, after 1st service it’s all good now. I can finally ride it 4K+ RPM, after 3rd gear, 3.5K+ RPM it makes such a sweet sound ❤

I have been following your videos as well as others who owns Himalayan 450 and Triumph 400x. I need to buy one but am too puzzled which one to settle for. I don’t have any complaints on triumph. Only one issue with Himalayan is tubed tyres. I am a senior citizen and do not wish to go for long rides but at the same time like to ride a smooth non tiring bike. I disposed off my Harley Superlow due to its weight and heating issues. Kindly suggest which one to settle for. 🙏🏻

can you try a different coolant for the heating mentioned? like engine ice or something better? if the coolant is diluted or not a good one( cost cutting from oem or showroom smuggling😂) , the liquid cooling is horrible. mine is oil cooled, so not that much left to do🫥

[@bigbearbangalore]

Not going to change the heat generated since it's not a "problem" per say to solve. It's part of mid size liquid cooled engines. The 400X and the 390Adv too radiate this kind of heat.

[@JasonFollett]

Are the low-end torque questions in comparison to the 411? Can you climb a dirt hill slowly like the 411 or do you have to rev and work the clutch more? Also, I'm guessing by the spokes that these are still tubed wheels - so are the new tires/tyres compatible with the 411 rims?

[@bigbearbangalore]

Crawling along at super low speeds like the 411 may not be on. But thats ok with me cost I may need to do that 0.5% of my ride so matters not cos the rwst of the 99.5% is far better than the 411. These are tubeless type and not sure if it's compatible.

[@KingXRO0]

Great vid👍no complains Btw what are ur thoughts on their tube tyres? And the incorrect fuel gauge?

Thanks. Tubeless option now available. After a few trips, one gets to understand the gauge readings vs fuel left.

[@geosgarageandharleyusa2950]

I was in Kerala for two weeks from USA , I put 1800 kms in my Himalayan . I love the suspension, I had no problem with cornering with passenger at the back seat and full of luggage in my three hard boxes. Only one thing I hate is the original seat, touring seats were not available. I have taller windshield which waste of money ( wind blowing straight into my face, I am 5’11”) I went through more than 250 hairpin bends. Did not feel any body pain. I love this motor cycle. Low end torque is bit low but the character changes with little bit of throttle 😅 . Last thing is the headlight, I am glad that I have mad dog fog light . Please don’t depend on the headlight it’s not bright at all.

Hello Sir, the review was very good, I've watched many of your videos, the reviews which you both share are very insightful. I was having a question, I am going to buy my first bike, and I am confused between Himalayan 450 or BMW G310 GS or Triumph Scrambler 400X, which one to buy. So, would you recommend me, which bike would be better.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks. The 3 are quite different to each other. Depends on your usage and preferences. Test ride and choose.

[@shivalkathe]

The more i ride it. The more i am loving it. There are sol.s to small things that bother me. Like for buzz on handle bar I have installed new grips and waiting for bar end weights. Might also buy the touring seat. What are your thoughts on stock radiator guard vs accessory ?

[@bigbearbangalore]

Good to hear. Stock guard is good enough.

[@lucky8057]

I agree with you guys in that most of the time I also use the console for speed/fuel/lights only but RE charged around 10k for it, so it's only fair to expect it to work well. If i had the option like we do on Guerilla, I'd get the simpler version and save 10k, since i'm still dependent on my phone for maps anyway.

I need an mid-segment ADV. I would like to buy one which I can maintain for next 10 years. I don't want to change it for next 10 years. Size of the engine doesn't matter. Anything is fine from 200cc (Xpulse 210) to 450 cc (Himalayan 450). Considering the long term commitment , H450 is obvious choice, I have a fear losing interest in smaller bikes in short time and Himalayan would keep me engaged. However, unreliable service of RE and tubeless tires are concerns. I did lot of study and in dilemma between choosing Vstrom 250 and Himalayan 450. Please help. Also, suggest if I have to consider others in mid segment advs

Hello. 10 years is a long time. And your riding may outgrow the 250 after some years. The 450 may stay relevant for longer.

Hi, I’m the owner of Himalayan 411 BS6. I too had the issue of right side pulling which you mentioned for H452. Informer service centre about this and they fixed it to some extent, but that led to another issue in the cone kit(may be). Now if I leave my hands from the handlebar, it still pulls to the right side, but not like before, but every pothole I ride on, I’m getting a thud noise from somewhere near the cone kit. Not able to get it resolved from RE service centre.

The t-stem noise is common in the 411. Not really connected to the right side pulling issue.

U can reset the trip meter very easily. Just use the joystick and go to the trip which u want to reset, then hold the joystick to the left for 5 seconds. It will get reset.

To reset the trip meters quickly, you need to hold the joystick to the left for few seconds.... Scroll to trip 1 or 2 and just hold the joystick to the left. It will reset. Earlier, I too thought the i I to go inside the menu to reset it but one day when i was just randomly checking the joystick to get familiar with its "clicks", i found this way to reset it.
