@@DAILY_FACTS_TREAT thanks for the info, just with the motul bike is running so smooth and so much cooler, now I wonder what results will be with the one you suggest.
@@OnceARider Maxima is way too premium segments in oil.. Their molecules doesnt get thin at any operating temperature...used by racers grade in usa..I himself using in my himalayan 450. Results are outstanding....And i combined it with Engine ice coolant....as stock coolant is total shit.
1) Buy a 1000ml plastic beaker. It will be convenient. 2) Don't spray much on oil strainers, it may cause the rubber o-rings to become hard and fail. 3) After the old oil drains completely, tilt the bike first right, then left, then again left, again right, then move the wheel in neutral, so any left over oil stuck, get cleared completely. 4) Try to remove oil filler cap first, the draining will be much faster due to in line air pressure, than vacuum.
Thank you so much for the kind words😊 Regarding the greasing, I believe the places where you will find grease are: 1. Axel bolts of both wheels 2. Rear seat lock 3. Clutch and Brake lever anchor points. 4. Not normal grease but sillicon grease on battery terminals. And you need not grease them regularly, however you can top-up or add new grease during scheduled servicesz or before going on a long trip. For wheels axel I would suggest add grease if any work done in which you need to remove the wheels. Cheeers!!
Also I would add, use WD40 on all moving parts and exposed bolts after every wash of the bike. This will prevent rusting and unwanted noise from the bike. Thanks again for bringing this up, this would make a good video topic.
Yes.. fully synthetic is better, they use semi synthetic to keep the service cost/maintenance cost down. Not everyone especially in a country like India can afford expensive engine oil. Same is the reason for the longer oil change intervals. Benefits of fully synthetic which are visible to naked eyes are: 1. Smoother running engine. 2. Better acceleration and throttle response. 3. The engine runs cooler, yes this was the biggest change I noticed after switching the oil.
Hey, the Himalayan 450 has a different type of engine; it doesn't have tappets. Instead, it uses shims for valve clearance adjustment. Shims cannot be adjusted; they can only be replaced once they are past their service life, and this is a complicated process, so it's best to leave it to the RE service center. I'm assuming you're a new owner, and if the noise isn't too loud, I would suggest riding the bike for a while (at least 2000-2500 km), as most noises tend to fade away. However, if the noise is unusually loud or persistent, it's best to get it checked at the service center as soon as possible.
Yes, the O-rings should be replaced. However, it's not always mandatory unless they have become hard and are causing leaks. And In my case O-rings were replaced recently.
@@jaikinger28 Engine oil doesn’t directly affect mileage. However, if the engine runs smoother due to high-quality oil, there might be a slight improvement in mileage. That said, the difference is usually insignificant and not easy to quantify mathematically
Hello greeting from Malaysia, my bike almost reach 2k km but the engine oil look greyish, is there any harm to the engine? The service center recommend to change the oil every 5000km, and in my country it hard to find the genuine product for the RE, I want to try do it myself but lack of spare parts 🥲
Hey bro! No need to worry about the greyish color - it's totally normal. RE recommends the next oil change at 10,000 km, assuming you had your first oil change at the first service. As for parts, you can definitely try sourcing them online if they're hard to find locally. But if getting the parts becomes tricky, it's a good idea to leave those replacements to the service center. Other than that, feel free to work on your bike and enjoy the ride! Owning and maintaining it is all part of the fun. Cheers!! Happy and Safe Riding!! ✌️
@@OnceARider Noted, Thank you for the clarification bro, I'm really surprised when I see the EO become greyish after 1000km++. Look like I need to make an order from the service center
Hey bro! Could you make one video about the Aux lights? Which are the one you are using? Cost? Fitting? Performance? Other best available options? Looking forward for the video, Thanks!!
@@OnceARider300V2 and Liqui Moly Street Race is better for high compression engines like kTm and this sherpa 450 engine try it if you are willing to spend a bit more..... Amsoil is clearly the best that's for sure but that price tag isn't everyones pocket willing to afford for just a engine oil
Yes it is the OEM engine guard, the sliders are generic sliders I found on Amazon, it fits perfectly. Here is the product link if you want: amzn.to/3Y6YgZW
Not at all, just make sure you use what grade/specifications RE recommends. However if you talk to any RE service center they might say it voids warranty but believe me it wouldn't. They say to intimidate customers so they pay for their oil and labour nothing else. But yes if you make any mistake during the oil change and something gets damaged due to it, then they might not honor the warranty. However there will not be any way for them to prove you used some other oil until they send the burnt oil for lab testing and to be honest do you think they will go so far ? Most RE service centers don't even have a proper Torque wrench. But make sure all services are done by schedule at RE. This is the first thing they check for any warranty claims.
@@OnceARider I have recently brought G450 wish to use Amsoil or Motul during the first service at 500 kms either at RE service or do it myself later after
Hey bro, why haven't you changed the o rings . It's recommended by RE to change all the o rings whenever you change oil . You should not take that risk of not changing it if you haven't
Hello... No worries bro, O rings don't go bad in such a short span. They were fine in my case. And you would know in no time if they were bad, you will get oil leaks. It's just a recommendation not a mandatory thing even though the RE service centre didn't change mine during the first oil change. So no need to worry about the recommendation.
@@OnceARider RE has mentioned to change the o rings everytime during oil change . Cz it's a higher CC motorcycle. O rings can have micro cuts which apparently won't be visible through naked eyes. And every service centre should follow the instructions. And next time when you are going to service centre for changing oil . You can check the content on the service kit. It will be having all the o rings and oil filter . I just wanted to share the right thing. Apparently we are riders .
@@soumyadipdas3703 I totally agree bro, and I wanted to change but as I mentioned in the video I couldn't procure that kit which comes with all o rings. You got to work with what you got.
are you putting the right engine oil to it ? the recommended one should be 50 grade that is 10/15/20 W50 - does the 10w40 does any upgradation or extra smoothness sort of anything ??
Hey... Yes this is the correct oil that's what is recommended in the owners manual and yes this fully synthetic oil has really improved the smoothness, noise and vibration and the biggest change I observed is with the engine temperature, it is running a lot cooler now.
Bro, please never use wrenches for engine oil sump bolts cuz it will get slipped very easily and your hand might hit to center stand or any other metal part. Please use T bit, it will be very easy.. Ride safe bro, please wear helmet and gear all the time while you riding your 450CC machine ❤❤
Thank you!! for the advice and yeah those bolts shouldn't be that tight. Anyways I had to use the socket with the L handle to tackle them. Will get a T bit next time. And I agree this is a heavy machine and needs proper respect, I never ride it without safety gear.. 🙂

Hello folks.. Let me know thoughts and which Engine oil do you prefer in the comments.
@@OnceARider Try Liqui Moly
Thank you for sharing, will test it out next.
Get a Maxima oil and then you will come to know what perfomance capable your bike.is...Reborn beast you will feel....motul you are using is trash.

Very nice and loved the way you kept your bike so clean ❤
I really appreciate your kind words! Maintaining a clean bike is part of the joy of riding, and I'm glad you loved the video!
you should always open the oil filler cap 1st so that no oil remains inside the engine because of the static vacuum pressure.
Hey there... Noted and thank you so much for sharing. This didn't come to mind.
Amsoil is best but it is best suited gor higher compression ratio and higher revving bikes
Sure.. will it next time.
