I have the GIVI protection (TN9050) installed on my Himalayan. The left part protrudes and continuously hits the left ankle. I have contacted the manufacturer, sent photos, and explained the problem. They have treated me correctly, but they tell me that the protection is designed that way. Other users have the same problem.

So firstly thanks for a great informative video 👍 iv just bought a 2021 Euro 4 same colour pick it up this Saturday 🥳😊 when I test rode it the wind noise was awful with the original screen 🥴 so the guy said I’ll take it off and now go and ride it again…. What a difference it transferred the ride so what sort of difference does that extra 6 cm on that screen really make I’m 6ft 🤔

Fender risers and better off road tires are indeed an absolute must on the Himalayan if you plan to spend any time in the dirt. Both make a world of difference.

Every adventure rider we've been watching for years has driven the Royal Enfield Himalayan, up into the mountains of Northern India and Nepal, since it's introduction, and with superior success compared to other bikes so, am wondering, why did you and Andy ride anything else up into the mountains, last year? Also, when I recently had new tires replace the old cracked sidewall factory tires on my Suzuki C50T touring bike, my friends who grew up in China told me Not-To let the local powersports shop put made in China, Shinko tires on my bike. I ultimately chose Metzeler ME888 Ultra, designed in Germany; manufactured in South Korea. I agree, the multi-design knobbies offer more stability offroad. Please, let us know, how well the Shinko off road tires you chose for your Himalayan perform. ...... PS: Thanks so very much for sharing your 2019 friends adventure ride with us. My now late partner, Carol Ann and I created so many treasured/precious memories of our adventures together, I am inspired to continue with the plans we had to travel on our bike soon as weather breaks in Spring.
@OpenRoads3 жыл бұрын
I love my Shinko tyres they are so good. They make a slight high pitched noise at high speed on the highway but they handle algae covered rocks with ease. I will report back with how long they last. Andy was hell bent on getting the classic bikes. I did mention to him that we should take CrossFires (Himalayans at the time were not available to hire because they were so new and too expensive to import into Nepal). But in the spirit of the classic road trip we decided to go for the classics - big mistake haha! Honestly, even the Himalayan is perfect for Upper Mustang, Nepal. Dirt bikes are the only thing that will allow you to get the torque needed at such a high altitude. But they are a sick bike, and they do do the job pretty well!

The windscreen when sold outside India does need to be bigger. But in India you are taller than the average man.
@twowheeledparadox3 жыл бұрын
Actually, she is about as tall as the average Indian man. I am maybe 2-3 inches taller than her and even with a street helmet I get some really intense buffeting from the screen whenever I test ride a Himalayan at a dealer. The stock screen is bad for the average Indian rider. My friends who own Himalayans and have had trouble with the screen are 5'11" and 6'1". They, like many Indian owners, have removed the screen altogether to fix this issue. Therefore, the Himalayan needs to have a taller screen or just a tiny one that extends only an inch above the instrument panel in *all* markets.

@@corychartier7961 Yes, average heights do vary by state. My point still stands, though. You have to be pretty short to be able to use the windscreen's protection.
