MODIFICATIONS ON ROYAL ENFIELD HIMALAYAN - PART II

[@andrewrollin3506]

Thank you so much for this. It is refreshing to see a mod video where the modder has a budget in mind. I agree that top of the line is not always necessary.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Glad that the video helped .

[@kiran_094]

Your mods are awesome 😎. Made me remember itchy boots Himalayan!!!

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Kiran Sugumaran happy to hear that

[@balasundar9778]

Your mods are great! Especially you have explained it in a detailed way every individual mods. Worthy inputs!

thanks Bala.

like the way you explain,the tecnical staf,my first motorcycle was bsa m21 52,40 years ago now i have nc750,and consider to get a r.enfild for non road rides....

Luved all the mods too good worth the money spent 👌🏼👍🏽me too jus bought BS6 but lockdown 😤so jus waiting bro ..

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

thank you for the kind words friend

[@girishkanthi]

Great, no nonsense modifications which are technically very strong the first vdo modification i hit the subscribe button, just wanted one clarification the brake pads you changed in the front are you recommend to change the back brake pads also??? TIA

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

girish kanthi thanks for the kind words . I don’t have a problem with the rear brakes . They work just fine for my taste . So it’s your choice if you want to upgrade . These brake pads are def value for money so you needn’t worry about your investment.

[@enceetee2645]

Have added the K&N filter, PowerCommander ECU and Lextek exhaust to my BS4. Installing a 16 tooth front sprocket completed the package and transformed the bike.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

thats good to know friend. i have been contemplating the 16 tooth sprocket for some time now. can you clock an acceleration 0-100 time on your gps and let me know.

[@enceetee2645]

Sorry, don’t have a GPS. The combined modifications deliver stronger acceleration without detracting from low-down pulling power. The 16-tooth sprocket allows cruising at 100kmh at 4500 rpm. If restricted to only one modification, the sprocket would be it. Enjoy your videos.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

@@enceetee2645 ok . will try the 16 tooth and make a video on my experience on the same.

[@P3Aesthetics]

Enceetee Enceetee whats the comfortable cruising speed after these mods bro?

[@P3Aesthetics]

Enceetee Enceetee and also where did you get the 16t sprocket.. i am considering krm390 adv instead of himalayan only for the low cruise speed in himalayan.. if these mods take the cruise speeds to around 110-120 it will be perfect

[@virajbongane3354]

Hey! Really good content. I have a small gripe though, the audio. I could hear crows in both the videos but what was more concerning is the clip where you were away from the camera. I wish you had done a voice-over or something. This aside, thanks for making such an honest video.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Noted! will work on the same .

[@ashwinvenkataraman7737]

bro how did u connect spitfire cable to the coil can do a video on it

Good video! Why don't you put the RE hard saddle bags bags on? I understand they are not expensive and would fit nicely.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

I do a lot of off road riding and crash every once in a while . The hard panniers don’t support the idea 😁. I use soft luggage ( pls watch my touring setup video )

[@pranavpillai5894]

Hey Ben! Great mods dude! Why do you an additional Powertronic ECU when the stock ECU is good enough to adjust the mixture of the fuel according to the air intake? And you haven’t touched the header pipes of the mid exhaust pipes, back pressure will be maintained upto a certain limit anyway. What’s your opinion on that?

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Pranav Pillai Hi Pranav. The ecu on the Himalayan runs an open loop . So it doesn’t alter the fueling based on inputs from the O2 sensors . And hence you need an external device to do the same for you .

[@getrajesh77]

Hi brother, amazing explanation, I haven't seen similar one since a long time , I am indeed overwhelmed about your commitments to the cause that you have replied to everyone and I appreciate the consideration and respect that you have given to your subscribers ,God bless you .I have something to ask if it is illogical please pardon me, I own a classic 500 for about 7 years, I love the machine so much and can't think of an alternative, so is it possible to do the similar modifications on the classic 500, to enhance the performance, that you have done on your Himalayan? If possible whom should I approach to do it, bcz I am pretty sure this I am unskilled to do it myself, eagerly expecting for your reply

Hi Ben, its very detailed . Thanks for the efforts. Queries: If i modify new bike with Aux lite , charger etc people saying the warranty wont cover. So suggesting to avoid doing modifications with wiring. Your take on this ?. Also i have a question on Charger, will the battery power affect my phone battery by any chance ?.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Ajay Ritto trickle chargers will always eat into battery charge but very slowly so when you buy a charger look for one with a switch . Just see to it that you run every single electrical mod straight to your battery terminals and problem Solved . Don’t splice wires .

Hey brother, you're videos are really good and these modifications are the best I have seen on himalayan . And I wanted to what is the top speed and mileage you are getting after ECU update.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Mallikarjun Naikar thanks friend. Top speed 138-140 but gets there quicker than stock by 2-3 seconds.mileage is directly proportional to your throttle inputs ( behaviour) so I can’t give u a figure . The mileage should go up by 10% with the mods but what happens in reality is because of the additional power to the wrists we end twisting the throttle at every given opportunity and we also tend to cruise at higher speeds so the mileage comes down by 10-20% .

[@Akhilpoomala]

Race dynamic not provide map for free flow exhaust+Airfilter? Clocking extra rpm for himalayan is not good. If you have dyno near places and making a custom map for trial ride will improve.a lot and meaning full to that extra 20000rupees. Am surprised you are still using 5100, in amazon 7100 offer price only 618rs per ltr. Otherwise try bajaj dominar Engine oil 1.5lr pack for 1000 rupees. Its also better.
