POWER LOSS / PICKUP/ ACCELERATION ISSUES IN NEW 2021 BS6 HIMALAYAN

[@caiofmr]

Greeting from Brazil! Your videos are being such a great help for a new bike rider looking to get a himalayan

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Thanks buddy for the kind acknowledgment

[@yashwnthk7]

When i purchased my 2021 himalayan the first three days were horrible. It used to stall and feels lag.sluggishness used to happen until post 1st service when i took my bike a 1k km ride it helps me my himalayan understand each other and thus no more lags or stalls.

[@tomgardener6204]

Greetings from Germany. My new BS6 works well with shifting at 3k rpm when I use a little double-clutching. You might want this if you got steady rolling traffic slightly above 30 km/h. It was the same with my old carburated Honda XBR 500, so I'm used to it. Beside this, nothing to add to Ben's remarks. Highly appreciating your work, Ben.

​@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN I totally understand the good meaning on why @aditya dave suggested that. But Ben, please be an enthusiast coz in that way you will be accessible to amateurs guys like me to understand the machine we have in our hands. I really liked the way you put out "DO NOT treat it as a baby, ......, Kindly be hard on the machine and then machine will definitely put a smile on your face" and that's how I felt about my Himalayan when everyone around me (mostly commuter bikes & fellow KTM'ers) suggested otherwise so far. Thanks again for an another wonderful production. stay safe :)

[@a.k.mukherjee3873]

Thanks for sharing your insight on 2021 Himalayan. I should say that it is an important revelation that you have put forth. But this opens up a pandora Box of questions, such as, (a) where is the ECU located, how to access the ECU, (b) is it possible to hook Bluetooth based OBD2 scanner to the ECU, (c) do the idling screw exists, (d) if yes, how to access it, (e) if no, how to set the idling rpm. In that case, do one needs the proprietary RE software to set the idling rpm? If possible at your end and if you are interested, please investigate it and come up with a new video. I shall be anxiously waiting for such a video which addresses these questions. Thanks anyway and keep up the good work. 👍

[@nithingeorge3345]

Hey ben, Huge fan of your works. All that you have done with the himmi and sharing those info with us is really amazing. So coming to the point, i have a 2022 himalayan which is having the stalling issue. Ok I started to notice this stalling may be only 3 months back and recently it was on all time high. I am a person who have this typical mindset that how much these SC people check our bike they would never look after our bike as we do. So most of the works on my Himalayan is done my myself(haha along with your videos 😅) changing oil, pads, clutch adjustment, meter console (silica gel😅) the list goes on and thanks for that. Problem: Stalling when the clutch is engaged at low rpm in traffic(yes i use my himmi as commuter- pls dont judge me: i like to use my himmi daily, having said this i have taken my himmi all the way from kerala to himalayas, so not always a commuter😊). Occurrence: During initial 5 km after starting the bike, himmi runs smoothly no stalling at all. After this 5 km whenever the clutch is engaged on low rpm bike stalls. Suspect: Faulty relay or my riding style has to improve or evap delete or throttle body etc….. Actions: 1. Swapped the fuel pump relay with side stand relay to check if its only the problem with a single relay(unsuccessful 😊) 2. Bought 5 relays from roots and swapped with the actual ones(unsuccessful 😊) ps: please connect with me in case you people need the same. Happy to give my fellow riders in case they are struggling with relays. 3. So understood that cause of the same issue can change from vehicle to vehicle. Watched your next video and then i changed my riding style, which was actually a but difficult as this heated up the bike. Still no improvement other than increasing the count of stalling. Seems like stalling is directly proportional to heating😊(unsuccessful 😊) 4. Two things was left one was evap delete and other is throttle body cleaning/replacement. So before i go for evap delete thought i would give RE SC a chance to correct the throttle body. To my surprise for the first time in my entire riding career the flock in SC acknowledged the issue. Told i will have to keep the himmi in SC for a day or two. I was really ok with that. Before leaving SC i asked what will be done as part of the checks. He told first he would clean the throttle body and check and then will connect with me. So the next day he called me back and informed, that cleaning the throttle body didn’t help and he has raised replacement request under warranty. I was having feeling of assurance that this would solve the issue. Next day he told bike is ready.(successful ❤) Since then I haven’t faced any issues what so ever and i have the comfortable riding style not the full on revving one 😊. Moral: If your bike is still on warranty go to SC and get the bike checked. One person’s problem might not be your problem. Don’t jump into conclusions that this will be the only cause, do trial and error method to find the cause of your issue. P.S: Sharing this long comment only because i want my fellow owners to not loose hope if one solution does not work out. Cheers Happy motoring .

[@sunnybaksi9518]

Ben u are right I have tried both the Himalayas back to back as I am technician in Royal Enfield and also tried to teach the customers who come with such complaint because I never face the problem while test riding the bike but when I ask the customer to ride and when I sit behind i get to understand why they are facing the problem so now I also have to teach them how to ride this bs6 Himalayan but as they are new riders there is one or the other conflict so now I am going to share your video with them

Hi Ben. After watching this video, I must say this is the best video ever created or seen on youtube for the RE HIMALAYAN 2021 and 2022 as well as 2023. This is the best video of the year 2022 and 2023. I am sharing this with many HIMALAYAN users all over my state, that is, West Bengal. I have personally tried and tested this method and have become successful. Ben, salute you bro. But I have a curious question. Why is that being in a single circuit just below the seat, the problem is occuring? I need the technical explanation behind. Would you be kind enough to do so? Sudipta.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Thanks for adding your experience here .

[@andreasbrandstetter9221]

it only works when you understand throttling.... i dont agree with you. a fuel injected bike should work in any rpm with any throttle position. Thants what fuel injection is made for. if there is stalling or no constant crusing at low throttle the mapping is not right..... the driver should not adapt to a efi system, the efi system should work in any situation, otherwise the map is faulty. Thats like you tell us if a caburated bike has a to small idle jet or a to lean needle setting you should learn to ride the bike only at WOT on the main jet.... thants bullshit, sorry.

a new ecu update is there for himalayan bs6 2021. I got it updated and its been a month now. The bike feels butter smooth. The heating issue is also gone now.

[@mikerobinson8734]

I bought a brand new 2022 Himalayan and while performing its first service I removed the tank vent line while removing tank and there was a huge release of pressure! I researched this and found that the evap system in this bike has had some issues. I continued to ride the bike and checked the vent line again and the tank was not relieving itself of pressure. I removed the bash plate and found that the line was kinked from the factory and the canister was full of fuel! I deleted the evap canister and the bike ran so much smoother! I highly suggest removing the evap system on this bike. Cheers

[@WeThrottle]

Hi Ben, I had same complaint and shifting isn't a problem, it should be right fuelling throughout the rpm range, I shot a mail to the company and they updated the software on my bike (may be the first one in delhi). Now it's working fine but now it's just the stalling issue left on my bike. This 3k rpm shifting can actually damage the clutch. It's a machine issue and not related to our riding style. I will share a video soon.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

i dont know what to say brother. Too many novices out there with Himalayans as their first bike. Each one feels something every other day . each rider describes it differently. What i am talking about I UNDERSTAND very well. I am talking about a map that is tuned like this . It is not a fault. this map is just to aid low speed riding in city traffic conditions . and it works very well. but if you want to feel the motor all the time then you have to do what is required of you . Also shifting at 3k rpms is not detrimental to the clutch in anyways if you know HOW to shift.

Hello Ben , am one of ur subscriber and really admire all of your video and follow them. Thanx for making this video but I want to point out that am one of the 2021 owner and facing this issue. All you said was true but the bike literally lags the lower rpm power and you could easily feel it. We can't open the throttle all the time in all the terrain. Like when you do offroading and climbing hills. There u need power in lower rpm that's what the long stroke engine all about. I don't know abt the other 2021 model but with my bike it's not that fun in low rpm.This is an issue and the service center person has also admitted that there is issue and they said that the throttle body unit need to be changed. I am waiting for the unit to come and will update to you whether there is any change or not. Thanx again for making such useful videos and we really appreciate your work. Pls make more videos on 2021 model if possible.. 😊

You will get used to it and you will LEARN to ride it better dear friend . Be open to the demands of your NEW machine and you will see the difference in your attitude . As far as HOW TO ride goes, there is so much more that i could add , but i believe its best left to the owner to learn on his own than have someone else teach them.

[@lachala]

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN I wanted to say that there is no instant torque in low rpm(2000- 3000)range which is abnormal for a long stroke engine. That's y I bought this machine to have fun in low rpm as well.

How can we adapt to a new way of throttling if the skill that has been learned and used for the past 20 years ? I do face the issue of Stalling on a Himalayan which i have brought one month ago. The first service has been done and the RE mechanics have said that they have received similar feed backs regarding HImalyan BS6. Is there any way so that stalling does not happens on lower RPM's? Imagine a situation where you are riding the bike and suddenly the bike stops and a bus or a truck coming from behind have to apply a sudden brake. This happened to me recently :-) . So, RE should take this seriously and if you come to know how to mitigate this issue, it would be good to hear about that too.

Thanks for the mention here dear friend.

[@yasin_mhd_]

Why you need to fit the 2021 throttle body ? The 2020 is better than the 2021 model. Less complexity. 2020 is almost like bs4 2019 with slight bit less power but more refined.

Ben my Himalayan 2021 idles at 1200 rpm however with a slight throttle increare the rpm rushes to 3000..... What may be the reason?

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

That’s the auto choke ( by starter kicking in ) , that’s the way the factory has mapped the fueling on the bike . You can’t do anything about it . Try your best to keep the bike running cool. Don’t let it idle for too long . Don’t lug . Don’t over rev . DONT COMMUTE TO OFFICE ON THIS . I can’t stress enough on that one factor alone . This is not a city commuter .

[@Slime-n-Grease]

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN thanks a lot. Gr8 hearing from you. In fact I learnt a hell of a lot from your videos. Keep doing great

[@ritwikswikriti0422]

Ben, I face stalling issue while starting the bike, and when I am doing rev matching while lowering the gear. I think I have problem in my bike. Isn't it??

[@gokulkannan6258]

Do you have mileage issue bro, coz before my 3rd service my bike was giving 30 to 32 kmpl but now it got completely down to 23 kmpl...

[@salemyobin2823]

ngl but the machine lags when heated, like the throttle response it gives knocking sound as if its struggling to obey my command. anyways thanks brother. ride safe

[@RajeshYadav-qb3ms]

Bro.. shifting gears on higher RPM will damages gear box ? My bike initially till 5km gear shifting pickup everything will be fine once i get struck in traffic engine get heats and here after I observe stalling/lower pull etc…

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

that is why i keep saying it is not a commuter bike. pls use it for what it is and dont treat it like a scooter.

[@Actor037]

That was awesome mashe , Have been watching your videos from Day 1. One day I will own this beauty and will visit you for your blessings ( intervention ) 😁 . Just one question though, why don't you start your own mini garage ? Just a suggestion aane ketoo . 🙂

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Sure . Someday soon😊🙏

[@sumeeshkk260]

Hi Ben, my BS6 Himalayan shows the engine warning light always, Showroom guys said just ignore it!!! Any suggestion? also the bike over heats. TIA.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

get it diagnosed with the diagnostic tool at the SC before coming to conclusions.

[@davidh1314]

Is this issue specific to the BS6......? Or is the BS4 effected by it as well? Thanks

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

The new BS6

[@tempestdancer349]

could it be the ups adjustment should be 05,5

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

Yes it can also contribute to a sluggish throttle . But not this obvious . This throttle feels like the commuter cars tuning .

[@eldoncoutinho4133]

Please make a video on mono shock servicing

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

These shocks are use and throw style

[@heartwin1399]

Does the bs6 have a choke ? If yes where?? How the hell it is creating trouble starting in winters??

[@greasemonkey1744]

The 2020 bs6 Himalayan has a choke next to the clutch lever.. In 2021, it seems like RE has removed it. It could also mean that they have tweaked it accordingly even if it is hella cold outside.

@@heartwin1399 Yes man, i have ridden over 16k kms, from western ghats to Himalayas, choke is never needed in any of the start, battery should be in great health tho. It will start without any issues.

[@ManishKumar-nm6jz]

With high RPM during gear shifting .. the vibrations are really annoying at the front part. Even at highway it’s becoming hard to go beyond 60-80 kmpl …. You have to admit that the engine of Himalayan is very stressed .

[@subashsb7616]

Bro I have spotted a slightly annoying noise from the engine of my 2021 himalayan.

change all 5 relays to 12v 25 A relays.

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN cool! will try that and update with status,, thanks for reverting that quick

[@shahebaazali6104]

Brother I have a doubt, when on high speed if the throttle and clutch are released till the bike starts to slow down, will this impact the engine as clutch is not engaged while the bike is slowing down.

[@ONTWOWHEELSBEN]

high speed lower gear higher rpms not a problem. high speed higher gear lower rpm will cause lugging when it slows down . DONT RIDE LIKE THIS . DROP A GEAR WHEN YOU WANT TO SLOW DOWN. ALWAYS.

[@MohanRajmohanrajphotography]

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN Hey Ben! Even after dropping a gear down there's a bit of lag in power or torque perhaps... Particularly when hitting speed breakers and overtaking... Kindly advice.

[@yedhukrishnan6110]

I had the same stalling issue but i have overcome the issue, the major problem is that others cant ride
