ROYAL ENFIELD HIMALAYAN | Lextek Exhaust Install And Review!

[@rbento123489]

After watching your video I just had to buy one! It arrived today, along with the DNA air filter, and I already installed them. Ohhhhhh maaaan, it completely changed the bike! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! It sounds AMAZING!!! I agree with the placebo effect but I have just riden it for a couple of miles. Yet to be properly tested but darn, now everyone hears me coming! 1000 thanks!!! 🙌🙌🙌😁😁😁

[@roadblastmedia]

Cheers mate!! Thanks for the comment! Glad youre enjoying it!

[@ChristopherM-bt2qg]

The cat is telling the truth. I just had the Lextek installed on my Scram 411: lessened weight and has a new growl....saweeeeet !

[@PineyRider]

You make me want to buy that Lextek exhaust and I don't even own a Himalayan!

[@roadblastmedia]

Haha 🤣 cheers Tom!

[@PineyRider]

Is it Christmas in NZ??? I don't know, I'm in the US in the northern hemisphere. Vinny sounds like 8 years old Christmas morning!! Amazing what a motorcycle can do, huh?

[@roadblastmedia]

Everytime i hop on the saddle of any of the bikes it feels like Christmas!

[@ruahinesrider]

Definitely abit quicker bro along with high flow air filter.Less restrictions on air flow going in & less restrictions going out definitely increases torque by 4-5Nm & 1-2hp.I gained 7kmh & bike went from 158kmh max to 165kmh on Inty but it was the mid range performance that made a big difference.

[@roadblastmedia]

Yeah bro! Air filter vid is out soon! I did it without the exhaust so i could notice the difference more it makes the himmy way faster was getting 125 max on the clock now im getting 140 although its ringing its ass off at that speed 🤣

[@ruahinesrider]

@@roadblastmedia hahaha 🤣

[@sayantanbasu06]

But the fuel consumption increases. You get significantly lesser mileage.

[@roadblastmedia]

@@sayantanbasu06 not really bro! Im getting about the same only lost about 10km per tank which isnt much especially because ive been riding it harder too

[@sayantanbasu06]

@@roadblastmedia in that case, it's great. That's without the baffle right? If you don't mind me asking, how much are you getting for one tank of petrol?

[@jeffruebens8355]

For my 2002 Honda Shadow 600cc VLX, I paid a few dollars for a hole saw and removed the stock back muffler baffle, then rejetted the carb.

[@roadblastmedia]

Nice mate thats one way to do it!

[@olrenison]

I've just bought that pipe for my Himalayan this morning and then came across your video. I reckon I'm going to buy another now! 🤣😂🤣 Love it. Great review!

[@roadblastmedia]

Cheers mate!!

[@bobbyblueace]

Your enthusiasm is infectious. I need a noisy Himalayan in my life.😂

[@roadblastmedia]

Haha cheers mate!! 😀

[@oscartravis5740]

Hot damn, your glee is infectious! I was all for giving up on the Himalayan and going for an Interceptor, but this and the air filter mod look like the way forward :-D

[@roadblastmedia]

Cheers mate! It makes a big difference but in saying that the Interceptor is my favourite bike of all time and ive ridden quite a few bikes

[@lextekproducts]

Hi Vinny, Thanks for the great review! we are really glad that you liked the exhaust and the performance gains it gave you , you should probably ride that road again just to be sure :)

[@roadblastmedia]

Cheers! Love the exhaust has made my daily ride alot more exciting! Haha you know it i will be hitting that road alot more!

[@callumbraund6075]

Hey! Does this work on the new euro 5 model?

[@lextekproducts]

@@callumbraund6075 Yes it is a fitment for all Himalayan versions :)

[@brianbrian9981]

Does the bike need remapped with an exhaust and air box?

[@daintree2455]

Hooligan mode chook chaser u gotta love that. Take it easy here as he winds the throttle on and tyre chicken strip's gone. Good one mate.

[@roadblastmedia]

Haha watching back on my videos everytime i say ill take it easy i end up going even harder 🤣 must be something wrong with me! Cheers mate!

[@daintree2455]

@@roadblastmedia nothing wrong with u mate u might be morphing into an Australian tho as your trip gets closer. Nothing wrong with that ha ha.

[@ruahinesrider]

I think Vinny just sold a few Lextec mufflers.😆😂🤣

[@crumblymal8479]

Bloody awesome addition there Vinney she sounds fantastic it must increase performance a bit surely , but man I luv it I'm thinkin about a Scram seriously and that exhaust on that bike should sound pretty similar great stuff mat luved it : )

[@roadblastmedia]

Cheers mate! Yeah the scram would be awesome! Cant wait until its here in NZ!

[@RVRCloset]

Such a great upgrade, and awesome vid mate! :D

[@roadblastmedia]

Cheers bro!

[@iangorman6153]

on your view bro,got a dna and lextek for my scram,did someone put a new bike in my garage,unleashed the beast..great review fella cheers

[@roadblastmedia]

Thats awesome mate! cheers for the comment!

[@ruahinesrider]

Got a nice crackle & pop now bro.

[@ruahinesrider]

I think that grin & the Yahoos just sold few Lextec slip on's.

[@roadblastmedia]

Haha yeah bro love it!!

[@rawkrides]

Just bought this. Found it cheaper at Hitchcock. Super stoked.

[@roadblastmedia]

Nice one mate! Its a great slip on!

[@sasquatchhillbilly]

Had considered upgrading the Exhaust, but didn't have enough reason to be excited about it. Your review definitely gave me a reason to be stoked about an upgrade, cheers man 😎✌️

[@roadblastmedia]

Cheers mate! Thats awesome!

[@adamindevon]

Just for clarification, does removing the baffle make any performance different?

[@roadblastmedia]

Nah not so much but it makes it louder 🤣 which is more fun

[@ruptal90]

It's like a sore peter, you can't beat it.

[@gpl11]

If you go offroad, then thats the best sounding lawnmower mc! Thats the bad side of going slow with 1 cylinder

[@roadblastmedia]

Yeah mate this is one of the better sounding singles out there

[@gpl11]

@@roadblastmedia i love my RE himalayan, best daily commuter that you can take offroad if you want to.

[@roadblastmedia]

@@gpl11 same reason i love mine mate

[@alexkrasteff4061]

So after some time would you say there is a noticeable performance change, and also important - how is the sound comfort on longer trips compared to stock?

[@roadblastmedia]

I would say so bro along with the air filter i can get it to hit 140kmph on the right conditions and sound is fine as long as you have the db killer in it sounds almost the same to stock plus its lighter 😃

[@kajii4388]

Hi i have a question. Is it legal in germany? Does is have the E-Marking?

[@roadblastmedia]

Not sure with the german Exhaust laws mate I havent noticed an E marking

[@kajii4388]

@@roadblastmedia okay thanks

[@dewipeach]

Sounds awesome.. I rode a 2019 demo which had one fitted, didn't really appreciate the true sound nor blast on what got as a 30 minute urban ride, main was sat in traffic..! but the pop on over run.. wicked.. read the details.. BSAU stamp and is road legal when using the baffle provided.. some UK counties are hot on noise so how far it gets Policed..! Even with the baffle it's a result just on weight saving as most report.

[@roadblastmedia]

Cheers mate! Yeah theyre a great exhaust for sure really do the bike justice! Were pretty lucky here in nz cops dont really care about loud bikes haha

[@dewipeach]

@@roadblastmedia Well for the UK and their presence on the ground, well Rurally not that likely to be stopped, but should you happen to ride into a check area.. then..! Speed cameras, ever Lowering limits and Congestion/Emission Zones are more an issue nowadays.

[@RichardWilliams-kf5vw]

Did you do that before or after you fitted the DNA filter? What was the difference in performance with both mods fitted?

[@roadblastmedia]

After the DNA filter, The filter was quite a noticable difference already and the exhaust topped it off plus shaved some weight and gave it a more throaty sound

[@RichardWilliams-kf5vw]

@@roadblastmedia Thank you. I really enjoy your videos btw. Your enthusiasm for the Himmy is infectious. It’s the bike I intend to get once I’ve done my course and tests at the end of this month.

[@PubRunner]

Nice video. I have read that On the Euro 5 you can get a check engine light. Not sure how accurate that is.

[@roadblastmedia]

Yeah mate hopefully theres a way around that! Love the euro 5 the only thing that put me off was that ive also fitted a dna air filter and i managed to get the bike up to 140kmh on the dash might be a bit less as speedos always lie but cool to see i actually got a bit of a power gain! I was struggling to get 120 beforehand

[@PubRunner]

@@roadblastmedia well if you ever find yourself in my neck of the woods you can take mine for a spin. My friend has a 2019 carbureted one who said I can take his for a ride. Which I haven’t done yet. It would be interesting and his has done over 30000 Ks

[@itsallrc-interceptor650]

It defo sounds alot better pal.the placebo affect always makes a bike faster💯😂😂🤣

[@roadblastmedia]

Haha yeah mate i think all the noise encourages me to ride harder in turn making it feel faster 🤣

[@upnorthrider]

Great vid mate, that sounds mean as!! I’m definitely going to look into getting one for my Himi 👍

[@roadblastmedia]

Cheers mate! Its lots of fun with the pops and crackles!

[@BulletGuru]

Good Job Brother

[@roadblastmedia]

Thanks bro!!

[@randombobsmith8925]

Exhaust sounds good but is the bike still massively underpowered?

[@roadblastmedia]

Haha I guess you could say that mate its never meant to be a powerful bike but its still good fun

[@Beanerds]

Nice Brother Vinny ,, the backfiring , she is sucking cold air into the muffler from somewhere ? , thats what causes it , oxygen mixing with un-burnt fuel in the exhaust causing combustion . pop , pop , pop ,, but yes it sounds sweet . On the baffles , I do the same with my CFMoto mufflers . decibel reducer's ,,,,, but mostly zero reducers . THUMPERS rule ! You would have loved the music me old ES2 Norton made .

[@roadblastmedia]

Cheers brian! Yeah loving the new exhaust! Would love to hear that norton mate it would be a beast!

[@whatsstefon]

Could it be the air injection system for emissions? My stock bike pops and crackles, albeit not loud. Only reason I’ve kept it stock is that I don’t want loud and I haven’t felt the need for more power. Was great watching this video to see an aftermarket muffler that’s almost as quiet as stock if you leave the baffle in. Certainly, if anything a good weight saving is worth it alone. I wonder how much it’ll cost to get one of these to Australia.

Always handle with gloves oil from your hand can cause discoloration
