As far as my head shape was concerned, it is pretty true to size, I have a 59cm head and the L fit me perfectly and snugly. If you stray too far out from the intermediate oval head shape that Icon manufactures for, you'll need to compensate for that extra length or width on your crown by going a size up.

@@hajiben5179 can’t say there would be any special advice for that place as I haven’t been there.

Since this was a review bike provided by CFMoto Singapore, I am not particularly sure where they sourced it from. But as far as I know, it definitely looks a lot like the generic racks you find on AliExpress.

@@jimmydickson8854 its a pretty valid concern. But truth be told, i’ve never seen a ride by wire system break like cables do since there’s less moving parts, and cables already dont break much to begin with. Then again, if there was a problem with it electronic throttles, you’d notice long before SHTF and it cannot work at all. Things like surging acceleration or your throttle valves not closing as fast as your input.

It's not rust thankfully. Just mud baked onto the surface of the pipe that a pressure hose alone couldn't clean without some physical elbow greasing. I had been taking it off road a lot for this particular bike but only had 3 days with it before I had to hand it over to the next reviewer, so I didn't have the time to properly clean it for my presentation shots.

You'll likely have to fabricate your own for now if you are looking to buy one in the immediate future. Chinese fabricators have aftermarket endcans but not full systems to reroute it. For the plate holder, just remove it entirely. You can probably punch 2 holes in your plate and zip tie them to the subframe holding the pillion foot rests.

Got it from Aliexpress!

I just got it printed at a vinyl print shop.

@@VroomVroomzzz they arent plentiful, and they are usually in pretty obscure locations, within cities. If u leave Tokyo or any major city, official parking is just as scarce, but “illegal” parking enforcement is also more lax. Of course, if u are at any major attraction, parking isnt an issue.

@@ReizePrimus thanks for ur help :) i see, then would it be inconvenient to ride in Japan?

@@VroomVroomzzz if you stay at a hotel with parking, and go out of the city a lot, its not inconvenient at all! Its expensive though! For expressway tolls and parking.

@@ReizePrimus i see, thats nice. but how about moving around the city with a bike as well. Will that be tough? From what i researched, parking for bikes is way more afforable than for cars haha

@@VroomVroomzzz might be confusing but with Google Maps its not hard. Alot of streets are pedestrian only. Within the city if you dont spend money on highways, there are a lot of traffic lights and it takes very long to go anywhere. Parking is definitely cheaper, buy expect around 200 yen per hour and cap at 1000 yen per day.

@@garyoneill8868 for awhile I made it tubeless without changing rims by using rim tape and sealant. But the tires themselves dont seat well so air leaked anyway and i went back to tubes.

Well yamaha before 2000s ussualy produce 2 cylinder underbone Most manual underbone are intended for sport underbone (ussualy above 150cc)

@@rider1921 unfortunately no, not without physically removing the fuse

@@ReizePrimus Thank you very much. 🥰👍💯

To be honest. Its just a naming convention used in some markets and dropped in others. The tire is the same with or without the E.

The Himalayan in this video was actually on media loan to me 😅 i didn’t buy it. But ive always been more of an offroad guy. Even if i were buying a new ADV, i’d have preferred this over the Hondas that are primarily street bikes.

Glad you enjoyed it

Good info! Thanks for the input!

I bought it from Aliexpress. And if you know how Aliexpress works, listings go up and down very quickly. You can try and search Aliexpress with the search terms for a "2006 YZ250F shift lever"

@@ReizePrimus Thanks, Found it. Bookmarked.

Its just right underneath the rider's seat. So the airbox entrance is probably about 720mm-ish high from the ground, assuming suspension is unloaded.

@@ReizePrimus k plan to get one and do some trail river crossing i hope it doesnt fail me bru

Thanks mate! I’m keeping in touch with CFMoto Singapore as well. They are still in the process of homologating and registering their first showroom models. Here’s hoping they give me a call and let me have a go!

@@ReizePrimus looking forward, tell them your viewer demands hahaha

Interesting to hear the Germans have the same reaction to the GS as I did! I would lose my mind too if I personally own and have one on a payment plan and have to deal with that!

By Toutatis that makes a lot of bloody sense! Thanks for that POV.

btw quick question what cc level bikes are allowed in the highway?

​@@slyisdaname in japan 125cc+

@@mamutero21 thx i really needed that info👍

@@slyisdaname No problem, please note first that its not only cc but also must be above 1kW of power and second the restriction is not only on highways, there are places where you can ride with less than 125cc and suddendly not, of course it has signs indicating that.

@@slyisdaname i would say better rent one if you are a tourist, i dont know the process/cost of importing a bike+rules+taxes and how to deal with the mandatory insurance and highly recommended a second private insurance, not counting the problem finding parts for it. So yeah, rent one. If in the other hand you are planning to live for some years here you can exchange your license to a japanese one, the cost is not high and saves you from dealing with the japanese tests. Besides that you can use an international driving license for one year in japan, the uk license i think have no use except for exchanging it. Make sure you owned the license for more than 3 months to be able to exchange it in japan (only if you want to live some years here since tourist cant exchange). I can ask about it at the prefecture or the police station if you want but other prefectures may have different rules and also for sure they will not know about importing your bike, check this link from the JAF: english.jaf.or.jp/use-jaf-more/bringin Also i dont know the types of license in uk, but here for bikes is 49cc, 124cc, 399cc and 400+, so there is a chance you cant ride the bike you want if you exchange your license.

😂😂😂😂😂

People install after market crash guards which are not made with R&D and get it installed with someone who just a set of spanners and no idea of torque required. Put more torque or less torque which result in uneven distribution of weight and pressure. FYI I do not own Himalayan 450 but I will buy one. Sore ankle will make you limb and for sure it will make put pressure of other part of you body. Please mind when you pass on a comment!!

Congratulations buy it 👏

Don't be ignorant with some manipulative posts. I've seen some Honda Cb500x breaks off chassis sue to poor aftermarket bolts installed on crash guards. Do you research atleast before spreading stuff. I'm torn in between this hima 450 and Nx500 though 😄

I have research alot😅

I seriously doubt it would without some significant work cutting the Papio’s frame and rewelding some parts. The 300SS engine’s external dimensions are slightly bigger, and mounted at the front on the sides. The Papio has a central downtube from the headstock where it connects to the front of its engine. It also makes figuring out how to mount the radiator on the existing frame difficult. It would be better to just figure out how to CNC a larger engine block, pistons and top end than to do a total engine swap.

You are totally right thank you for bringing me back to reality I was definitely dreaming in Fantasyland just hopeful thinking have a great day my friend
