I had a very poor headlight which became superb by fitting a new high quality bulb. Not led, just halogen, cant remember the brand but was a cheap easy fix and really amazing, so good i forgot the idea of fitting spot lights (which would possibly been under supplied with power and drained the battery). Great video by the way, just so helpful and succinct. Perhaps you might as we say here in australia when being a bit rude, "piss off " the windscreen to see what its like without one,. Certainly cheaper than mucking about getting extensions and then bigger and biggger screens only to find you are nicely off without one? I mean if screens were so great why doesnt the scram have one as standard?.😊
Thank you so much for the feed back. Really appreciate your input. I totally agree with you on the Wind screen part. And I did think about changing the bulb to a powerful one but it deos effect the battery in the long run. Did that on my bullet 350 and regretted it. Would definitely land up getting extra set of lights installed. Ride safe and make some unforgettable memories. Take it easy!
The trick which worked for me was fitting a much higher quality halogen bulb but with the same wattage as the standard bulb so as not to use more power. Heat may be an issue but I had not such problem.
I will be getting my 2022 Himalayan in a few days (Canada). So good tips, thanks. Just a question, what is BS6? are there other models? I got mine from a motorcycle dealer on the West coast of Canada and it was on sale.
Thats a good news!!🎉 wish you the best and hope you have some amazing rides and make Memories with the Motorcycle. There are no different varieties of Himalayan. BS6 is the sixth version of the emission standards. The BS6 full form is Bharat (India)Stage Emission Standards 6. These emission standards regulate the output of pollutants by determining the permissible level for the vehicles in the country. BS6 follows the regulations set by EURO VI, currently being followed in Europe. Hope that information helps. Ride Safe.
Everything is fine until it is dangerous or driving you insane, then look for a simple and easy solution. Mirrors - extenders, dampeners. Headlight - better globe (there are brighter halogens, not just LEDs). Windshield - extender, remove it, smaller screen, larger screen (for me the simple solution was earplugs to block the wind noise). Brakes - when they wear out replace the pads with something better. For most problems with the Himalayan you just learn to adapt - in my case it took 3500km (+ mirror externders and earplugs).
I totally agree with you on it. Issues with it aren't really major. But unfortunately had to let the Motorcycle go. Will be posting soon as to why and which Motorcycle will I be getting. Stay tuned and thanks for the feed back.
wind hitting your glasses. don't you wear a helmet with a visor? headlight is poor yes, but almost everyone installs extra lights of their choice for long distance night riding . Engine heat- that is obvious , every air cooled Royal Enfield heats up, part of the experience. Brakes are really poor on Himalayan , specially the ABS version. Every motorcycle has its own flaws, your just have to figure out which flaws and adjust your riding style to fix the problem. Seat issues and body pain, you can fix these by upping your fitness level and doing some exercises like yoga. all the points you mentioned are very silly ones, yes there are a many real flaws u still din't figure out, but you look like a total newbie.
As someone considering getting the Scram 411 (that shares 90% parts with Himalayan) I very much appreciate this video, thank you.
