Hello from New Zealand, I ride a Triumph Thunderbird 1600cc, bought a pair of these and love them, as you say more protection than a tour boot, as have a dropped left foot they also help you walk better, better feel, and makes for better confidence when riding or when stationary, great for walking in too, the height is great, highly recommend for cruiser style bikes

😂😂💪🏼

Is this 26mm socket for centre nut... other vids say 27 mm ?

Hi Martin, Are you opening the collaboration now? we looking forward to discussing the details with you.

my question would be do you have any of these accessory coming from a relay that cuts off when bike isnt running ? your standing draw will keep pulling down the batterys voltage over time and you will keep over working your charging system and have to keep replacing parts .. hope you have considered this..

What about the revit air bag that tethered to the bike and has gas canister

Thanks so much for sharing. I need some help. My Himalayan won’t start when I pull the clutch in. It will only start when I put it in neutral and without pulling the clutch. What’s happening here? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

What a brilliant straight talking video, I am looking to buy some earplugs and came upon this video... very informative, thank you. I have subscribed. Keep up the great work mate

Nice honest review !!! Have you a link for the rec/reg ?

Your review was very helpful. I just ordered this jacket.

This himalayan is better looking than my bmw 650 after that mileage.

Thank you for this. Very well explained indeed!

Ive rode my himalayan with passenger topbox. Painiers.. Camping gear for 2... From the Midlands to the lake district... M5 /M6.... 70mph 5.5 revs all the way no problem

Two things regarding the battery, one there is no such thing as a maintenance free lead acid battery. Over the course of 2 years cells begin to dry and need to be topped off with distilled or simple rain water. This happened on my 2021 Himmy in 2023 just as designed. I worked in the electronics industry in the product engineering department, so I know some of the tricks of planned obsolescence. The symptom of a sick battery is clock resetting on start and laborious starts. Eventually no amount of charging will help. But I recently had the same situation on my other bike so I was kind of expecting it on the Himmy. The original battery has a long sticker covering the cell covers to give the appearance of no-maintenance, simply remove and fill the cells and charge. The maintenance free idea is a marketing ploy in order to sell batteries every two years. I installed a charging plug on my Himmy which is located under the battery panel that was removed in the vid. It is hidden under the cover but I can easily plug it in without removing the cover. The wires go to the battery with the positive lead having a 5 amp in line fuse. Forget the fuse and if the lead gets shorted, you can have a fire and burn your bike's wiring harness which passes over the positive terminal. Very important safety point not covered in the vid. The reason I have an external plug rather than an onboard unit is for space and more importantly quality of charge. I can now hook my smart charger directly to the bike and run it through the desulferization and maintenance modes. an option not found on most small trickle chargers. Also you can keep the battery on a maintenance charger when not used (like through the winter) to avoid sulferization of the cell plates which is what kills most batteries. The sulferization occurs as the battery discharges, so keeping it charged will keep it in top shape for many years as long as it is also kept full of demin water. This is my contribution to keeping the big corporations that are trying to take over our lives, from fleecing the consumers.

Thanks for the review! I'm changing my w5w dim lights out today. It's more about being visible when rounding a corner during day time.

beautiful accent mate :))

Krum asked for peace and when the emperor nikiforus refused ,drunk from his victory,krum told him,when you rejected the pax(the peace) you will have my axe😂😂

bs4 models still had some problems i think. but bs6 models are way better

Wind noise???

I have 4mm freeplay but if i use those 4mm i see the clutch mechanism moving on the engine. Is this normal? I feel freeplay in the handle but at the same time the mechanism on the engine is moving

Very helpful video. Cheers. I'll be doing mine soon enough.😄

Noticed the welding on your frame is a lot nicer than 2 Himalayan bikes I looked at my local FL, USA dealer. The welding looked very crude, uneven and spotty even. 3 hoses were also out of their clamps on 1 of the bikes, not a big deal but still….

They are £102 that's about double in Aus. On the link you provide. Gone up since you bought them. Oh well next.

Were you able to find an upgraded version of the RR? And stator? Would love to hear what which version you decided on. Thanks.

Ta Wee Jaunt, great review :))

Thank you for the video. Followed your instructions, and everything went smooth.

This is a real good review

Very informative. I'm buying a 2023 Himalayan and I've felt discouraged by the negative videos. I'm encouraged now! Thanks!

I didn't quite catch what you were saying about the glare from the instruments due to the wind. Did you try acetate over the top or find a solution? Cheers

Hi. Thanks for the channel. If you want to experiment with led headlight bulbs, there's a company called classic car leds that do h4 bulbs, direct fit and work with standard refectors. They come in different colour temperatures so you can avoid the blinding white light, which is counter productive in rain and fog anyway. You can get one's that are the same colour as halogen and when the main beam is on the dip remains lit, which is nice. Around £30. Also use less power than a halogen.

Martin any opinion on the new 452 himmy ?? Will you get one ?

Silly question... do we have to gap these the same as regular plugs? or just install as it is out of the box?

Cracking video, hoping to tour Bute on my Vstrom this summer.

Mine had condensation in it. Took it apart and not even the foam gasket was there. Followed your advice and fingers crossed. Thanks for the video.

The same on Harley-Davidson

It's really difficult to hear anything with the mic far away

Have you had a look over the new himalayan 450 yet completely new build

Maybe invest in a rattle gun mate just suggestion ,thanks for the tutorial ,

I'm know where near as adventurous as you are, on my RE Himaleyan 411. I do short touring trips and a lot of commuting / sunday riding. I honestly can't fault my Himaleyan, It has its annual full service and MOT and has flown through the past couple of times. It's like any machine. If you thrash it and take it off the road or on extremely long tours, it's going to suffer. The only issue I really had was the front break being a bit shit, but honestly, it's not noticeable until you've really mullered the pads. I usually notice my front break going just before its annual maintenance (service and MOT). The console fog has never happened to me. Mine have always stayed clear and un fogged. Overall its a amazing bike, and my first after passing my A2, I plan on owning it a fair few years yet.

Hey that was too good, and nice detailed work.

Thank you so much for your videos. They have helped me loads already. Tonight i found myself riding in the lonesome rainy night and every car i passed would flash. I quickly realised i were blinding them and now i know its something i can fix myself 😊

"Niggles"

Ya canny call er vanny

I’m from Sanquhar and it’s an amazing place

Hey Scotty Your "Trip to Europe". The Brexiteers are still part of Europe ......... but not in EU. Cool accent. Even me as a Kraut can understand. 😂😂

I d like ur accent!

En español por favor

Also my R-E starter motor said 0.7Kw 12Volt. So that's 700 watt. 700/12 = 58 amps. Does that sound correct? Has anyone put a DC amp clamp on there starter motor cable to measure starting Amps?

Does anyone know the CCA of the Battery?
