Forgot to mention about average in the video, I am getting 30+ km/l in the city. Soon I will release a video on average test on this channel so stay tuned.

[@amodmalvankar4904]

I am getting the same on my xpulse , defiintly worth it

[@OnceARider]

@@amodmalvankar4904 great.. I believe Xpluse is lighter than Himalayan and more suitable for city rides.

[@raninivedita434]

Great analysis done here. Especially the heating issue, it is just not the bike but where you ride adds a lot to the aspect. Great 👍👍👍👍

[@OnceARider]

Thanks for the comment!!

[@sankethhiremath7119]

3k kms done here. Been using for daily commute in heavy traffic of Bangalore . Its been fun.

[@OnceARider]

That's awesome to hear! The Himalayan 450 is great for daily commutes, even in heavy traffic. How has your experience been with its performance and handling in Bangalore's traffic? Any tips for fellow riders?

[@sankethhiremath7119]

@@OnceARider Yeah. Thanks to Bangalore's pathetic infrastructure one can learn basic off roading skills on these horrible roads and with slow moving traffic weight can sometimes be an issue but it's okay once one gets used to it. Engine heat is okay considering its a big engine. Also Cant expect one to maneuver it the way hero Xpluse can be done. I get an average of 22-24 kmpl in city traffic.

[@OnceARider]

@@sankethhiremath7119 yes.. you definitely need to get used to it. It's a beast of a bike and needs to be respected. And in Pune, I am getting 30+ km/l

[@sankethhiremath7119]

@@OnceARider wow ..lucky you. I never got the 30 figure.

[@madanvl]

@@sankethhiremath7119 how are you managing the muck in the rains in bangalore?am tired of cleaning my bike every other day

[@mrbalajiganesan]

It's an amazing bike but the deal breaker is low end torque. For a adventure bike it's not acceptable.

[@OnceARider]

As per the specs the torque is there but you need to shift the gears quite frequently, specially in city riding conditions which is little annoying sometime. You need to get used to of it. However I would say during adventure ride or touring this would not be an issue.

[@buzzlightyear1484]

Bro even though this bike is a adventure bike with so much weight, it pulls from standstill faster than triumph speed 400 x. So i is a great bike and a very good cruiser.

[@OnceARider]

Really? I havn't compared it to any other bike but that sounds awesome!

[@rydermjvlogs]

fuelX Pro+ resolved the low end torque/stalling issue

[@OnceARider]

@@rydermjvlogs What about the warranty, How safe is to install the FuelX ?

[@HiwayRides]

Good points covered, thank you!

[@OnceARider]

You are welcome!!

[@sagartalole15]

you can check avenger mirrors, they are wide enough and many people use that rather than using royal Enfield round mirrors

[@OnceARider]

Thank you for the info.. I will try them and update.

[@DAILY_FACTS_TREAT]

Every one talking about heating issue.....Get maxima engine oil and engine ice coolant changed....and drive it in any conditons.you will fall in love with the changes....i know that engine oil and coolant itself will cost 6500 rs but trust me it works like magic.❤

[@OnceARider]

Great, thank you for sharing the information, I will also try and share the experience.

[@DAILY_FACTS_TREAT]

@@OnceARider yes bro....give it a try...coz RE is using very cheap kind of engine oil and coolant.

[@rydermjvlogs]

better mirrors ~> vstrom 250x mirrors 300rs

[@OnceARider]

Thank you for the Info, this is a much needed upgrade.

[@rydermjvlogs]

@@OnceARider anytime brother 🤝

[@DAILY_FACTS_TREAT]

Will it get fitted easily...or any seperate bolts needed ?

[@rydermjvlogs]

@@DAILY_FACTS_TREAT directly it will fit

Ohh it's your bike....I have seen at backside of tower 4 😉....Nice bike dude

[@OnceARider]

Thank you !! 😊

[@paragtaide9680]

informative video. Is it T2 Magarpatta?

[@OnceARider]

Thank you!! It's T4 😁

[@madanvl]

Can you suggest a rear tire hugger and an extension for front mudguard of the 450? The bike loves to throw dirt and muck on itself 🤦‍♂. Am tired of cleaning it

[@OnceARider]

Unforunately no specific made for Himalayan 450 options are available for rear tyre but you try some generic ones. And for the front, it already comes an extender installed as standard and people are kind of removing it to get more naked dirtbike look. Howerver if you want something bigger then, again there are no specific Himalayn 450 options available and you try some generic ones. In this case going to local market and explore will help.

[@DAILY_FACTS_TREAT]

Same here bro...i am afraid to take her in rains😢.....and generic huggers are very bad in aesthetic.

[@AspiringRider]

Kharadi ke relatively low traffic wale rasto pe himalayan ke maze le raha bhai, wagholi ki taraf ek off road wala patch jaata hai ye wale circle se.....

Nice demonstration

[@OnceARider]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

[@saketh49]

Small feedback: your narration feels low energy, make it bit stronger with a bit of higher enthusiasm

[@OnceARider]

Thank you for your feedback! ❤️ I'll definitely work on it and try to make improvements.

[@FaktGaani]

are you working in magarapatta? any job vacancy in magarpatta my english is poor 😂

[@OnceARider]

Yes my office is in Magarpatta and regarding job vacancies I do not have much idea.

[@FaktGaani]

@@OnceARider okay

[@NawazKhan-cq3zo]

Bro could you please tell me your height

[@OnceARider]

I am 5' 51/2" or 166.37 centimeters and my Inseam length is 76.5 cm ( this length is more important than total height to ride a heighted bike ). I have set the seat to 825 mm.

[@bhanuyadav3451]

what is ur height bro,,,,?

I am 5' 5.5"

[@bhanuyadav3451]

@@OnceARider i m 5.4 , thanks for the reply,,,,

[@OnceARider]

@@bhanuyadav3451 you can get low ride seat, it can go as low as 805mm.

[@bhanuyadav3451]

@@OnceARider do i have to book it at the time of purchase or i have to buy separately as an accessory

[@OnceARider]

@@bhanuyadav3451 Earlier it was not available so people had to buy it as an accessory. But now it is available so you can check with the showroom if they can customise it for you. However I would suggest if your riding is more in the city and less adventure then you can also consider the newly launched Guerrilla, it is a roadster based on Himalayan 450. Same engine but with 790mm seat height, allowed wheels etc etc.

[@gangadhar_mc4477]

Blr is far better than this place 😅😂

[@OnceARider]

This is a bit outskirts of Pune, however infra is shit here.. even the main roads are filled with pot holes and have water logging issues.

[@suryagaming3878]

Any chassis issue, please reply can I purchased or wait 2nd lot

[@OnceARider]

No issues at all.. but make sure once the accessories are installed all bolts are tightened well.
