[@bigbearbangalore]

Many thanks.

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.

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.

First time I see this channel, I loved the relaxed discussion between you two to describe the bikes!

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@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.

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.

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.

Thanks. Congrats. Engine / crash guard. The rest are optional and personal choices.

[@prsandeep1]

Sir, headlights are quite poor. Any recommendations on upgrading the main lamp? (Vaishnu) or get aux lights ? (Maddox alpha). Would appreciate your inputs. Thanks

[@bigbearbangalore]

Vaishnu is available foe the H450. Else you may use aux lights.

[@vishakr7194]

Very true about instrument cluster well said 👏

[@bigbearbangalore]

🙏

[@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.

[@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 ❤

[@bigbearbangalore]

[@Chetan_Manju]

Can anyone help with the console settings of triumph scrambler 400x? How do we off the rear ABS? Once I Toggle to Off road mode, I cannot see other information such as ODO. Traction control switches off and rear ABS. What about the Other informations on the console.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Checking.....

[@humanbeing1675]

Interesting to hear what you have to say about the Himalayan 450. At the end of April the bike is available here in Germany. I will defintely contact a dealer for a test ride.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Great! Let's know how it goes.

[@gurkirat311]

Wanted to know if the RE original leg guard is enough for my safety or should I install additional crash slider as well.

[@bigbearbangalore]

[@akashs9303]

What do you suggest? Would love to hear your input? Should I upgrade my headlight or add an aux light? Can you suggest the product for the headlight and aux light?

[@bigbearbangalore]

There's no upgrade. Aux lights only.

[@pramodk486]

One of the best and informative reviews I have seen so far, I have a question though, during the the run-in period, did you experience brake pad noise when both tyres are rotating? I am still at 270 kms, unfortunately I have to be under 4000 rpm and 60 kmph, I am unable to ignore the noise and get on with it?

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks. Clean the brake disc and pads and check.

[@pramodk486]

@bigbearbangalore got it done at the service center but still noise is there, they mentioned it is common in interceptor and himalayan bikes, but not really sure about the reason...

[@bigbearbangalore]

@pramodk486 when parked and when rotating the wheel some noise will come. When riding there shouldn't be.

[@pramodk486]

@bigbearbangalore exactly, I am hearing the noise when I am riding the bike as well, maybe I need to get it checked again.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Yes, please do. They need to be cleaned with a brake cleaner.

Hello Sir, no doubt it's a mean machine....I have upgraded my ride from classic 350.... It's superb riding my Himalayan 450... The only issue I am facing is right side pulling... I have raised my concern with the RE team and hope it gets resolved at the earliest....

Many thanks. Congrats!

[@HW-kf7hi]

Very interesting review. I think this will be my next motorcycle , just waiting for a pay out on the written off Tiger 900 GT after being knocked off by a car driver who didn't look 😢. Only question is what about the seat? You said you will come to that later but unless I missed something you didn't mention it. Thinking of getting the slate & salt, I notice the grey material on the slate colour scheme. Are they still identical in comfort and are they not that comfortable then regardless of which one you choose? Thanks

[@bigbearbangalore]

Sorry to hear about the incident. The specs are same across colours. I've installed the touring seat ans it's helped quite a bit.

[@HW-kf7hi]

@@bigbearbangalore thanks for the reply. I'll have to search for the touring seat.

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.

[@shreyasgs6676]

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.

[@bigbearbangalore]

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

[@Shivam_Yadav1998]

Sir you can reset the trip meter in both the menu just by holding joystick towards the left. So suppose you wanna reset Trip 1/2 then just go that particular trip and hold joystick towards the left (doesn't matter if you are either on analog or digital display).

[@bigbearbangalore]

[@AnandKumar-vx2co]

Re-Setting trip is pretty easy. Come to which ever trip you want to re- set 1 or 2 in any of the appearance (analogue or digital) and keep joy stick pressed left for couple of seconds.

[@yovideos42257]

Nice video guys. Looks like you both have got fancy numbers. Did you pay extra for it? Does Karnataka have an auction for fancy number selection?

Thanks. Paid officially and got it. Not at an auction.

[@AnandKumar-vx2co]

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

I haven't used the stock seat because from the beginning I'm using touring seats and touring seat is okay but I still feel it is not the very comfortable one. Better to try for custom seats, I'm sure you can get better custom seat under 8K than touring.

[@lakshman0680]

I enjoy watching the two of you talk about bikes. Always wait for your reviews to drop. However, I see no reason why we as bikers / customers have to constantly excuse these noises and inconsistencies as characteristic and something to live with. I believe RE among other Indian companies have to go that extra mile and ensure that these noises are engineered out from the get go. Then there's nothing to piss on right? I had massive issues with my Speed 400 (Head and valvetrain replaced, both front forks had 100ml oil less than factory recommended) and it took a hell of a lot of screaming and escalating before they acknowledged it and fixed it (actually I diagnosed the front fork issues and sorted it out at home myself, they were absolutely clueless and I had to share the info with them). If i'd accepted valvetrain noise and suspension noise as characteristic I would be riding what you call a Lemon. Once these were fixed the bike really sings and I absolutelty love riding it. I rode the RE Shotgun 650 a few days ago and the 650 twin engine in this 2024 iteration was spot on and sounded oh so sweet and I was quite tempted to put down my money (but my NX500 is on it's way). I rode the Himalayan 450 two months ago and the engine sounded like crap and the valvetrain clatter was unbearable. So ... inconsistent perhaps and that's something that needs to be worked on before dumping them on customers and telling them that that's how it's supposed to be. Within tolerances means nothing really. My Speed 400 engine sounded like crap and they claimed that their Bosch audio software did not find anything wrong. When the Bajaj/Triumph engineer came from Pune to Chennai to fix it he was left scratching his head and had no excuse for the noise when he heard it with his own two ears. Anyways...Just my two cents. Safe riding guys. Keep these entertaining videos coming. Thank you.

Hi Boss, I am an new Himalayan 450 owner just done 500 above n today 1st servicing done. I m just concerned having an issue while shifting gears downward there is a noise coming from the clutch (cluck) and vibrate the clutch leaver, for e.g shifting from 5th to 4th then to 3rd (60 to 30kmph).... But while once the bike speed comes under say 25to 20kmph it smoothly shifts without any noise... I raised the issue with service persons but still having the same problem... So, is it an issue tht i should be worried..???

[@bigbearbangalore]

Shift to higher gear once rpm crosses at least 4000 and shift to lower gear before rpm drops to 3000 or below.

Hello sir big fan u mentioned about the right side pulling in the video i actually faced it i had taken a experience test ride for 2hrs from HSR Rajajinagar I was actually riding the bike at 80kmph I left both my hands the bike was slightly being pulled to the right I thought maybe its a test drive vehicle people might have ruff used it or they must have dropped it some where i thought but while i was driving I didn’t feel a thing I touched 130kmph there was no issue.

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.

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! 😊🙏

@bigbearbangalore Resetting the trip meter is easy...select the TRIP which you want to reset....and keep pressing the toggle button to left and that's it...

Hey Bosky..Please make a short reel about PPF coating or ceramic coat for the Himalayan 450 and thank you this amazing video.

[@shreyas3230]

Have you done any?

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks. Will do if the opportunity arises.

[@shreyas3230]

@@bigbearbangalore do you recommend doing any kind of coating to the bike?

[@bigbearbangalore]

I haven't yet done any. Will share my experience if and when I do.

[@vasansb]

You can reset the trip meter by holding the toggle left for some seconds. And i need to know how well the Adventure wind screen performs. Kindly, explain it sir. Thanks.

[@bigbearbangalore]

🙏 Adv screen is far better than stock.

[@vasansb]

@@bigbearbangalore Pro spec or RE adv screen?

[@bigbearbangalore]

ProSpec is little more efficient at deflecting the wind.

[@vasansb]

@@bigbearbangalore Okay. Thank you for the response sir. 🙏

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.

[@vikasgurbani]

You have experience with the interceptor 650... How does Himalayan compares to it for touring purpose only...

[@bigbearbangalore]

I'd prefer to take the Himalayan on a tour.
