Royal Enfield Himalayan BS4 Long Term Ownership Review

[@coolnura91]

I also own a Himalayan bs4 2018 model and i have done 9000 km.. This is the best bike for long travel the suspension is owsome.. talking abt the mileage i am getting 28kmpl in Chennai city traffic and i use it as a daily commute and highway i am getting upto 38kmpl not bad for a 400 cc motercycle...

[@saileshchatla8036]

Hi bro. Planning for Himalayan abs version. Present I was with Gixxer. I was 6 feet tall. I daily commute in city around 30 to 40kms. Is this a good bike for city ride also. Plz suggest me

[@coolnura91]

@@saileshchatla8036 if you are riding in bumber to bumber traffic conditions pls dont buy it.. if u are going for a long ride too often then go for the Himalayan..

[@SanjuSadanandan]

Completely agree with the numbers you mentioned. I observed an average of 36kmpl during a trip to Goa from Thrissur. This was not ideal highway conditions for the most part. Very happy with that.

[@manojvenugopal9742]

@@SanjuSadanandan I'm also planning for buying Himalayan... can I except minimum 30kmpl millege?

[@SanjuSadanandan]

@@manojvenugopal9742 to be honest with you, if it is busy city conditions the observed mileage is 27-28kmpl. But since I use my bike for Highway (more than 50%) rides I always get average 32+kmpl on every tank I fill.

I'm 100% satisfied with this review...Im also an owner of the himalayan bs4 n this is the most genuine review I've come across till date...gr8 work,keep it up!!👍

[@dTm259]

Kudos to the owner. Nice feedback. And great message on safety in the end. It's good to see young riders take up motorcycling responsibly. Cheers.

[@akash_sudhakaran]

Dont listen to anyone saying They are getting mileage of less than 26kmpl. I had done a couple of mileage test on my bike (filled 5L petrol and rode it till reserve tripf) and calculated many times. The worst average mileage i got was around 27kmpl (hard revving/offroading mainly in 1st and 2nd year) The best i got was 38kmpl (normal road traffic with gears shifting at 4000rpm and riding in 5th gear, 60-70kmph) Those who say they are getting 15-23kmpl are just saying nonsense. (Maybe they​ don't know how to maintain their bikes)

[@aneeshks8855]

it's a great milage for aa 400cc bike

[@gurnstein]

Last fill up I calculated at 33 kmpl. This was mostly riding in the countryside at 80 to 90 kph. Short shifting and using the low end torque is the way to get good fuel consumption.

[@sagarjakka6092]

I bought the same bike, done 1300km, heating is a issue, i commute in city for 40km a day.

Thank you, Jubin, that was a great compliment. We haven't discontinued ownership reviews - it's just that we have brought it down to one per month since we had covered most of the motorcycles in the past three years.

[@ichbins2545]

Himalayan BS4 is a great bike, I can suggest it to anyone who is interested in traveling in India, eaven in tough situations, bad roads and gravel as well, the bike never let me down 💫

[@akash_sudhakaran]

Maintenance - 500km first free service costed me 1100rs (oil change) Second service was at 5000km, oil change was not needed but i told them to change the oil so same rate around 1100rs. Tyres worn out at 12-14k kms Rear tyre is 120/90/17 ceat grip xl ( costs 2200rs at ridermania, and at original ceat outlets. But if your are planning to buy form local dealers the price would be around 4000rs, don't know why they do it ) Stock tyres sucks on road. Front tyre is 21inch 90/90 which is really hard to find (just imagine searching for about 21" inner tyretube.😑 Even RE service centre dont have spares)

[@rss8400]

great honest review by the owner who knows exactly what the bike stands for....great channel too!

[@akash_sudhakaran]

I have a may 2018 model bs4 Himalayan. The bike is good except for some problems. I have the same petrol lid problem. ( Got it replaced by Service centre for free) Engine heating is there. Tappet sound is there. Clutch and gear shift is hard. Have enough power and torque for easy overtakes. Tyres lack grip on roads. Will lock up every​ time when i hard brake on it. Mileage wise it depends on the person who rides it.. i got a lowest mileage of 26kmpl ( hard revving and offroads) Highest mileage was around 37kmpl (shifting gears at 4000rpm.) Any way one can expect a decent Mileage of 30kmpl if you take good care of your bike.

[@doctor1742]

I was at the showroom to claim my booking money for classic 350, I saw the upgraded Himalayan and it took my breath away. in future if I ever buy an Enfield, this has to be it.

[@MrLaL-cu4le]

Hi. I own a bs3 Himalayan. since 2 years I am using this bike. I faced some of the issues like key set failure, mileage short. But I given my bike in RE service center. They changed everything and replaced the bs4 parts. Now it is perfect. Now I am not facing any kind issues. This is perfect off roading bike. Only one thing I am facing is the mileage short. I am getting 18-20 in city( Bangalore) 22-25 at highway. Mine is bs3. Don't know about BS4. May be mileage is better because it have fuel injection.. but easily bs3 touch 135KMPH. where the BS4 will teach 120 KMPH. NOTE: RE service centers are not up to the mark. But some of them are very good. Before giving the bike to service center just check how is the service over there. One more thing: it have 2 years warranty. If anything happens, they won't charge any single RS.. I changed any my parts to BS4.. They didn't even charged anything... For that a big thumb's Up...

[@coolnura91]

Next major issue I am coming across now is the front cone set is getting tight and it needs to be removed and greesed at the time of service.. or else the handle bar movement is a bit tight.. I believe it has been rectified in the new model..

[@noname0409]

We keep waiting for your videos......Increase you frequency ofvideos so we all can watch good stuff

[@SanjuSadanandan]

Most Indian riders have no or limited experience with a rear disk brake. That's when they start complaining about the locking issue on the Himalayan(since they apply the rear brake alone in an emergency and get locking problems). In my opinion the ABS version will address those issues.

[@SauvikRoy]

Yeah, you're right about the ABS, but it's simple physics: front and rear tyres are not the same size, but have identical disc setups. So, for the smaller rear tyre you'd need to apply more weight than the front tyre so that the revolutions match, else more force on front disc pads and they wear out faster or for uncontrolled brisk slam than squeeze, skid...

[@anirudhsinha2369]

@ 3.02 ....He says the word "puncture" and the shot of the back tyre says it all. His treads are worn. He needs to change it out if he wants to avoid more puncture woes.

[@amartyaganguly8369]

How does one handle puncture in the middle of nowhere? As this is a tube tyre there will always be puncture risk. Is it safe to use the tyre sealant gels or does one have to know how to open the wheel and repair?

[@royarnab22]

Your review is one of the best IMO, keep up the good work! :)

Bro what is the maintenance cost in free service and in paid service. I am 6 feet tall and I have only Himalayan as option becoz it suits my height. Classic is full of vibration. I am looking in Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and RE. I will commute in city daily for 40kms and weekend rides will be there. I am smooth Rider. Present I was with gixxer 2015 model. Plz suggest me. My budget is not more than 2.2lakhs

[@confusedengineer5432]

I suggest you make a list of bikes and test ride them. I personally wanted to worry less about the conditions of indian roads and have fun while riding. You would need an adventure bike to go anywhere - not worrying about height of speed breaker or how bad the road is. Thats why Himalayan. If your purpose is different, then look for a different bike. Service costs are pretty decent. Even after exhausting all my free services within 6 months, paid service costs anywhere between 2000-3000. Depends on whether oil change / for oil / brake fluids need to replaced.

[@kunalkhurana2839]

Big lie 120 kmph no vibration 🙏

I own the bike and I am not paid by anyone to say good things about Himalayan. It truly is very smooth even at 120 kmph, unlike any other Royal Enfield. There is no reason for me to lie. You can test ride the bike for yourself.

[@coolnura91]

Yes i too own a Himalayan bs4 there is no vibrations over 100 kmph.. if you want you can try it for yourself

This problem is faced my nearly all the himalayan owners (BSIV) to whom i have met or communicated through social media.. 2.
