Living in South America and regrettably not being a lottery winner I really appreciate the fact that these mods aren't throwing the bankbook at the bike, like on so many Euro or US channels where dropping a few grand on a bike is seen as no big deal.
yes, i believe the mods are to made ONLY to customise your bike to suit your preferences and so just like everything else there are always going to be a million ways of doing something. I at times find cheap alternatives to make more sense than the BRANDS. Its become a world of branding , hasn't it .
Hi Ben, I've seen so many vloggers having Himalayan and explaining about theirs mods, but never found the detailing that you used to give I'm very big fan of you and you're big inspiration for me to own an Himalayan
At last, at last, finally God, this guy has listened to my heart and made the video I wanted, thank you, keep up the good work, live a satisfied life ❤️
Love the way you help us understand what needs to done for better ride quality. Have always enjoyed that part. Wish we all could speak to you or take your suggestions before modifying Himalayan.
My pleasure dear friend. and super glad that there are fellow bikers like yourself who dont mind taking some time to acknowledge someones efforts and knowledge and experience. the world is becoming and increasingly thankless place with every passing day. so thanks again . sure makes me feel a whole lot good.
Ben, your technical and riding knowledge and sheer enthusiasm for both riding in general, and for the RE Himalayan are inspiring. I have owned a Himmy for 2 years now and also love it. Of all the mods you have done, and especially since you live in India with its unique driving conditions (that I have experienced) I was just surprised that you have not replaced the horn. I consider the stock one to be both anemic and impossible to hear when I'm driving. So I have purchased the Denali mini soundbomb which is a straight swap out mod that delivers 115db of attention grabbing noise. Definitely required for safety! Otherwise, everything you have done is extremely well engineered and thought-out and I have followed you in installing many of them. Thanks and I will definitely keep watching!!
firstly , thank you for the enthusiastic feedback . i sure know how poor the stock horn is but since you know indian driving/riding conditions let me tell you , the last thing that i want on the roads is attention (this might sound strange to anyone from any other country) . Too many idiotic bikers , too many illegal mufflers , too many road rage episodes . EVERY SINGLE commoner, villager is pissed at anyone who even looks the part. so i keep my calm and wait till i can pass in tight trafiic conditions and on highways i have all my senses working at a 100% to keep me ALIVE . no room for relaxed highway cruising these days .
Really awesome mods, I own the same machine and really wish I had the knowledge and patience to do all these mods perfectly, nevertheless have gained a lot of inspiration from this, please keep making such videos thanks a lot!
Cheers Ben and Ashi (is that how you spell your gf's name?) for another top vid. Full of energy and enthusiasm (had you been on the coffee mate?). Planning my first small motorcycle camping trip with a mate (he'll take his car, but I'm trying to talk him around). Did you say that you are a fashion designer? Have you thought about designing some full leather lightweight adventure gear? Most (which isn't many) people I've talked to say you just can't beat leather. My riding gear is kevlar jeans with padding and a Dririder jacket with padding and some leather patches on elbows etc. Anyhoo, all the best, keep 'em coming, thanks.
Ha ha , Thanks friend. yes thats how her name is spelled. Her name is ASHIKA in short ASHI. And yes pls talk your buddy into riding along with you , you dont usually feel ADVENTURE with a car around . Yes i am a fashion designer/educator and yes i have been working on developing a line of jackets with a local brand here for bikers for sometime now . didnt think of leather as a suitable material because of the average temperatures in india . its 30 degrees or more for almost 8-10 months in a year.
An excellent video on the mods you have done and the bike in general - thanks - for me a big part of the ability to off road is the low speed throttle control and the Himalayan seems to have nailed it . I hope the 450 they build does not replace the air cooled Himalayan - i have a 650 with a cooling fan and the noise off road at slow speeds is a pain
Yup , that’s the only reason why I hold on to this Himalayan . It’s a good looking tractor . Putters along and climbs just about anything . And it’s the easiest to work on .
It was the one awesome video i ever seen for THE HIMALAYAN ... THANKYOU SO MUCH for this video... And i have one huge question " how many punctures you have gotten in this bike"
thanks dear friend. atleast 20 in 3 years . i dont mind punctures because i know how to fix them . kindly watch my dedicated video on the same . DIY fix your own puncture , is the title.
SO, BEN- I HAVE A 2021 HIMMY AND IT HAS LESS THAN 200 MILES ON THE NEW ENGINE. WHEN SHOULD I CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER- 300 MILES? AND I AM PLANNING ON A SUMMER TOUR OF THE US- BASICALLY CAMPING, FISHING- ANY IDEAS AS TO PRE- TRAVEL MODS? BOUGHT THE JERRY-CANS- ONE FOR WATER - ONE FOR GAS- HAVE THE METAL PANNIERS, ADDED THE ENGINE GUARDS, LIGHT ROCK SHIELD, AND A PISTOL FOR THE FAT MAN!!! LOL.... EAGLE-SAN IN CO.
I use this on my ducati xdiavel. Next week I can take my new 2021 Himalayan from my dealer. I use this bike only on the street. In this moment I am looking for the GPS rack. My dealer had ordered this part from India, but it is no chance to fix it on the 2021 model because of the new wind screen an the tripper system.
whats your opinion on the engine heating side. Your view in update of the new Himalayan 2021.once again Thank you Dr.BEN for your tour around your Himalayan BIKE.
the bs4 and upwards fuel injected bikes or cars ( most of them are tuned EXTREMELY LEAN ) are this way , will get worse with newer models . the only way to cool these vehicles down is to richen the AFR mixture . on a carburettor its a simple job , but on a fuel injected machine you need to get a piggyback ecu or a dedicated stand alone ecu. I personally dont like a single change on the new Himalayan in terms of design , functionality wise its upto what each customer wants from his/hers's vehicle. and thank you for the comment .
Ben, I am also trying to catchup with mods on my bike as well thanks to your videos they are wonderfully explained. I went for a 380miles single day ride mostly on tarmac, found few issues that I need to resolve. Most urgent and priority issue is windshield. When stock windshield is in higher position wind is directly hitting my helmet just above eye line making most uncomfortable above 60mph. I would like to get your opinion on "Clip on Windshield", I am 6ft rider, do you think the adjustable windshield you mentioned is going to be sufficient for my height. Thank you very much in advance as you are always helpful with details.
@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN Thanks Ben for your quick reply. This is what i am planning to get from Amazon US just for reference www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072C6G26C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2D5NUV3A91FLQ&psc=1
Excellent video thank you! I am breaking in a 2020 "Snow" BS-4 with EFI here in beautiful Wyoming. Age here 64. One question for you. How does Ashi feel about sitting on the tool kit as a pillion, instead of sitting on the normal pillion seat?
@@chuckwilliams6294 Hello Chuck , how did you get the idea that she sits on the tool kit . In the video I say that one tool kit is inside a tool roll ( made of fabric ) that sits on top of my saddle bag and another tool kit inside my saddle bag . Pls watch the video again if In doubt
hello. the siren stopped working - the fuses are in order. the high beam also does not work - when you turn on the high beam mode, the lamp goes out, and the icon on the dashboard does not light up. The reason is in the control handle?
@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN I have been looking to buy the genuine parts in online but I could not find one , the Agents are just too far away from me. Pls suggest me a good website where RE genuine parts are available sir?
Hi Ben, U r my inspiration to book himalayn 😍 Loved ur channel and subscribed as well Hey I saw ur other videos as well upgrading ralco tyre did any milage dropped?
Thanks friend 🙏. Knobby tyres are for dirt riding . And when you do dirt you can never calculate fuel efficiency. The throttle openings are almost always varying.
Very nice video Ben ..you know what i have been watching your videos since initials phase of your youtube. And I really like the way you explain and narrate everything which really help us to understand the motorcycle better and better. I have Himalayan sleet BS6 I have done few very selective modification by getting information from you. I am not on youtube but thinking to start my channel like you. But you can my Instagram on sanjay198304

Ben, it's really rare that I am wishing that a video over 30 minutes would go longer. Great descriptions, awesome mods. Keep the videos coming.
That’s so kind of you to say such words . Means a lot 😊🙏
Hi Ben,

I'm very big fan of you and you're big inspiration for me to own an Himalayan
Thank you dear friend for the kind words. For me motorcycling is a lifestyle and not just a hobby and so the appreciation for details.
At last, at last, finally God, this guy has listened to my heart and made the video I wanted, thank you, keep up the good work, live a satisfied life ❤️
I was modifying my Himalayan with the inspiration taken from yours.... Now I'm having like around 10 accessories... Long way to overtake yours..😉☺️
Love the way you help us understand what needs to done for better ride quality. Have always enjoyed that part. Wish we all could speak to you or take your suggestions before modifying Himalayan.

Love your videos, descriptions and turn of phrase. My favourite bit was the explanation of the knobbly tyres. Keep doing what you're doing 👌
🙏thanks for the kind words

Fantastic mods!

thanks .Sure thing!
One thing I have to say, RE saw your Very first mods video I believe. The new himi has blacked out headlight ring and tail lamp ring.
Ha ha , could be a possibility. you never know. Anyways that sure helps with the looks.
I agree I saw your video today to book mine and just realized that at Royal Enfield store
did you see there's a company that has upgraded fork spring kit and rear shock out now for the himalayan?
Yes , Hyperpro, ohlins and Yss make shocks for the Himalayan . I have heard good reviews. Yet to get my hands on them .
