- Hi
There has been one thing that I was putting off since I returned from Spiti ride and that was ever buzzing speedo console at low rpm (uptil 4500 ) It got better after 5000 rpm but in traffic at lower speed it was robbing me of the peace of mind and hindering in the sheer enjoyment of this motor thumping with sheer rawness and the sweet exhaust note. To say the least the rattling was loud. Finally with spare time, i was running out of excuses to open it up and see what was the issue to try and fix. Besides the scraped up particulate matter was accumulating on the lenses.
Glad I opend it up, and it was an easy fix too.
Cheers :)

Good one brother, you won't believe I had this problem in my himalayan nd changed 2 odo until today in 2 yrs of purchasing my bike, since it was in warranty the company changed it, but now after viewing your video I'm thankful to you, in case if I face the same again in my new odo meter I can do it my self, because my 2 yr warranty for the bike has completed, nd RE will not bother anymore if I have the issue...thank you brother.
My pleasure mate, I can understand, its very annoying riding with that noise and needless to say the constant rubbing of plastic leading to those tiny particles. Hopefully this will take care of it
Cheers :)
@@leuheanrede after fixing it up, were there any problems in the needle showing accuracy, like fuel guage, rpm, speedo needles, plz let me know...hope there shouldn't be...
None mate. Everything is running good.
Cheers :)
Great informative video man. Thanks for sharing your findings. I just bought a REH so if I get this problem with it in the future I know how to deal with it. Thanks again for sharing.
My god man! Your perseverance and attention to detail is mind blowing. Your collection of Himalayan maintenance videos are going to be so helpful to fellow riders for years to come. Thank you for uploading this.
Thanks for your kind words mate ;)
Idea is to get the best out of these machines for a trouble free time spent on riding and enjoying them
Cheers :)
Your videos are so much helpful for me..! Whenever any problem occurs with my bike first I refer your videos
Thanks mate, I am glad to hear that :). Simple diys can cure most of the issues and prolong wear and tear.
Cheers:)
Thank you for detailed info, even I faced the same issue in BS6 2020 model. Can't believe that RE is not even bothered to address these issue in newer models.
Thanks mate. Even I am surprised that they have not fixed it yet. Well I love this machine too much to say anything bad but...
Looking through your videos this morning as I noticed that my speedo cover had a touch of moisture inside it. So I found this one and immediately took the dash all apart as you suggested. I put in a small bag of white rice in a fabric bag just below the speedo out of sight. My son fixes iPhones that people get wet by drying them out with rice bags. So I think it will work well. Thanks for the easy to follow guide!
Thanks mate. Yes indeed, a small sachet of rice bag can absorb a lot of moister. Just tighten the screws. You can also use silicon bags that we get in leather apparel. That will do even better job. Idea is to seal the case properly so no moisture finds it's way in. #enfield are you listening.
This is a damn helpful video for the Himalayan owners. I'm totally irritated because of this continuous noise coming out of the console. Now, I'm looking forward to open it and clean and tighten the screws at my earliest. Thank you so much.
Thanks mate, it's my pleasure. But for only noise issue first please check the head light bezel, try fitting multiple tape layers or small rubber cut out between plastic dome and bezel contact areas where you see scratches.
I had meter trouble too the the vibration was shaving off the inerts of console and collecting plastic shaving in powder form on the inside of console glass🙃
Most excellent tutorial. I have just started getting a little dust at 4,700 miles. This is next on the list. Thank you.
Thanks mate, I sincerely appreciate it and yes its an easy fix, just a good sunday mingling with the stead ;) cheers
Jesse..! dont turn it off...l was just enjoying the sound of that sweet engine sound...great video..everything so simple...amazing bike..
hahaaha, no doubt this is overall a simple machine to own and do DIYs on, and at the end it get you to places far and beyond, just a spectacular machine :D cheers :)
Thankyou again Professor Himalayan. My clocks have some moisture in them. So now I know I can fix this problem myself.
Hahaha, always makes me chuckle, Thanks mate, cheers :)
Hi - really appreciate this video. I did this maintenance earlier today on my '19 Himalayan with 36k miles. I used an old bicycle inner tube to make those rubber slices at the 8:48 mark. Neat and clean, again. Thanks!
Man, you have the best Himalayan videos on CZcams for sure! By any chance have you ever had the Odometer backlight go out (the actual lower portion that shows the mileage)? I'd love to be able to fix mine rather than replace the entire instrument cluster, however no one seems to have a fix. I has to be a loose connection somewhere because mine at least will come back on for short bursts if the road is bumpy enough!
hi man, it's nice to show us how to disassemble and maintain your motorcycle, a big thank you to you
Thanks mate :) its my pleasure, its a great bike just needs minor tinkling here and there to make every ride enjoyable, have a good one, Cheers :)
@@leuheanrede Yes I confirm, I have a white Himalayan and I love this motorcycle, thanks to you I repair or understand how my motorcycle is, today I disassembled the dashboard to clean it, it's cool, a big thank you to you
Excellent video brother! I have found quite a few loose nuts and fastenings on my new Himalyan. Perhaps there is an issue at the factory. I amazes me that the console can be dis-assembled so easily. I will wait to see if my console develops a rattle, if it does, I have your expertise to help me through. Many thanks.
Thanks mate, really glad and a pleasure to be of assistance. :D. Yes. Nuts and bolts will require regular check up now and than. I too was amazed at the simplicity ;)
Cheers :)
The black covering over my indicator lights had also slid over to the left a few millimeters....haha......adhesive is gooey. I just moved it back into alignment without trying a different adhesive this time. Thanks so much again for vids. My vibration noise got really bad around 8000 miles.
Thanks mate, glad to hear from you again. how is the guitaring going ;) As for this one, pleasure is all mine, to be fair, there were indeed some quality check miss at least on speedo console ;)
Man this was magical and so satisfying to watch.
Hate those vibrations and the paint flakes.
Thanks mate, hope this helps, cheers :)
Great Explanation on the cluster and its knowledge gaining on the spares. Thanks a lot its saved my cluster
Happy DIYing nate. Cheers
Very easy to follow and understand. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together.
Thanks a ton mate, I sincerely appreciate it. And I hope it helps, have a good one, cheers :)
Having that rattle on my BS6 from the beginning at 2800 Km now. My problem: I'm deaf on the left and couldn't locate where the noise is coming from 🙂
On the quest for the rattle i already fixed a lot of loose connections on the bike, but this may finallly be it, i'll definitely check on it. Thank you mate.
Thank you for this very informative and helpful video especially for the Himalayan users... Thank you so much... 💗💗💗
Thanks mate, glad you found this useful. Stay safe
Excellent video! Here in the U.S. we refer to the "clamps" as connectors.😎
Thanks Mate ;
And connectors, indeed, better term :)
Cheers
I have the same problem with a new Himalayan (2023)… thanks for showing how to repair it
Hi this video really helped me , I resolved my meter problem. The service guys from RE guys were telling to replace and ousted mechanic ohh so much of drama asking to open the meter and get it , come early, busy etc
Thask you so much for this, priceless, timeless, new follower from South America!
Hey mate, thanks for your kind words ;) its a beautiful and simple machine, go anywhere do anything kinda, thanks again, cheers ;)
Your Videos are very much Helpful brother
... we are expecting more Videos on Himalayan :)
Thanks the ton mate, this motivation is what keeps me going :D. rest assured as the bike covers more miles more and more vids will keep coming, Cheers :)
bro, this is excellent ... my BS4 Hima is getting sound now at 90Kmph, when i visit RE Service center they said some excuse answer and said this sound is not from meter and it is from wind shield ... i fixed it wind shield properly, still I am getting very bad sound. I will try to fix this on my own with your video.
Hello mate, yes the wind shield does vibrate and cause odd noises, on solution is to replace the rubber mounts with that of pulsar, easy and cheep replacement, did a vid few months back
czcams.com/video/bsvX3RE-BQI/video.html
Next would be head light bazel, tighten if need, and yes giving this meter thing a shot did help me contain some vibrations and associated noise too
, Cheers :)
Amazing video, My himalayan is just a year old and i already see white powder in my console , going to clean it up and tighten any loose screws . Thank you for your help cheers!
I was having the same issue with mine. I opened it the same way but did not tighten the screws. So I'm gonna opne it up again and tighten them now. Thanks 👍
My pleasure mate. The noise it makes is unnerving, not to mention the scrapings the accumulate on the lense. Have a good time
Cheers :)
Good video and good English language, i can understand when you say that.
Thanks mate, I am glad you found it useful, cheers :)
Bro your videos are simply awesome..! Do more videos about Himalayan.
Thanks bro, ya they will keep coming ;)
Was absolutely helpful 😊 big thumbs up 👍.....
Expecting more info like this 😊
Thanks mate :)
And yes, plenty of more stuff is being worked on, will keep uploading
Cheers :)
Any tips on removing the needles? I can pull on mine as hard as I dare and they won't budge. It's a 2019 BS4 UK model.
Excellent guide, thank you!
Thanks mate
You just nailed it bro....too good n useful videos....everytime👍
Thanks again for your kind words
Cheers :)
Great stuff bro, i am facing this annoying rattling issue since day 1. In fact I have a dead ant inside the RPM gauge, looks like i will need look into this.
Thanks mate, glad to be of assistance :) have a good one and happy new year, cheers :)
I'm going to do the same, my speedo do a loud noise of vibration and I don't know why...thanks for your vid!
Thankyou bro... i just did the processes refering your video..Greatful bro..problem solved for me.
I am really glad to know that mate, thanks and cheers :)
Forte abraço por esse vídeo, tinha o mesmo problema, e já estava a desanimar, pois o barulho era tão intenso na faixa das 3000rpm, que até parecia que já não ouvia mais nada na moto...consegui abrir, tudo certinho, e eliminar e limpar, só não reforçei a borracha para a humidade mas, estou super contente, já posso curtir aquele som gostoso nas 3000! ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Big hug for this vídeo ✌🏻. I had the same problem at 3000 rpm, managed to solve it thanks to you. Now i can apreciate again riding free of buzzing, i was starting to get sad because of it and now...perfect, She purrrs again ✌🏻✌🏻
Hello and thank you for all the great videos keeping us riding safe out there! I am currently having this issue and I am having a really difficult time removing the 3 needles. I have already applied a bit more force than I would like and they still will not come off. Is there any trick to removing them?
Hey mate, sorry for late response. As forvthe trick. We'll, take a nose plier, wrap the tips in cloth, grip the niddle, apply mild pressure and wiggle the needle out. Just not too much pressure or else there is a risk of breaking it. Plier will aid in better grip. Cheers
@@leuheanrede thanks for the tip. I ended up needing to use a regular plier and applying way too much force for comfort. Luckily I did not break anything in the process but there was a real risk of that happening. In the end my problem was an actual part of the white plastic board that holds the screws at the leftmost end of the pannel having broken off. That screw had come off and was completely loose inside the casing in the last stage of this repair, behind all the gauges. I had to glue the screw thread back together and just tighten it slightly so it would stay in place. For now it is fixed but I would not want to do it again. Thanks again for all the help.
@@brichardsonii7954 glad to hear that mate. Job nicely done I say🙂. Now I am not sure why these are not properly tightened from factory itself. Mine was not broken but just loose and that lead to lot of residue as can be seen in the vid. No less, good thinking on your part to use plier. All's well that ends well. Cheers😉
Thanks for New Video. Do you start your bike everyday ? Don't you have starting problem ?
Thanks mate. Naah not every day. It's more like in 5-6 days. The battery is still new so no issues thus far
Cheers :)
Thank you so much bro , I resolved my problem
Hey Leuheanrede the video was wonderful. May I know if we can change the backlight colour of the console too ?!
Thanks mate. And yes it can be done. A lot soldering and de -soldering will be needed. And a set of white LEDs. But can be done. Cheers :)
Your videos are too Good. Can you make a video on wiring to keep it tidy on himalayan.
Thanks mate and sure will work something out, cheers :)
Very very useful 👍
Thanks mate , glad to be of assistance :)
Hi bro thankyou for all great video you have shared. Bro suddenly RPM meter light is not glowing can share idea what i can do
Where did you find those tank grip pads? They look fantastic, I want to get some for my Himalayan in the spring!
My Himalayan rattles too bad at around 3000-3500 rpms when moving, like some screw loose. Had been to service centre a couple times and each time service guy says yes rattle is there and coming from somewhere in front. Will try to do this and see if I can fix it. That rattle really rattles me and I don't get a secure feeling when riding.
Hey mate, certainly, i too was bugged by that rattling sound. Also look into Headlight bezel that another culprit. Hope this resolves the issue, cheers :)
@@leuheanrede thanks for the suggestions! I did remove the console as you have described and there were some bits loose which I have taken care of, still there is some rattle. I will check the headlight bezel too. Thank you so much for Himalayan videos, they really help a lot to maintain the bike as well as we can use the methods for emergencies during rides. Relying completely on service centres is not going to be helpful anyway. A big fan of your channel and content. Keep posting videos👍
Hello you sure the water wont get inside the console since you did not use any fluid to seal the final part
Not sure but hoping it won't as there is rubber oring going in completely around the console. Rest will update if found otherwise. Cheers :)
Nic one thank you for making this video
Thanks mate, I am glad you found this useful, cheers ;)
I think that paper you tore away are paper filter to avoid air collection in the speedo.
Nope. Just some mounts that might have been originally designed for screws. But sealed proper shut now.
Cheers:)
Hi Mate, great vids!! I had a question while we're in lockdown. I cant simply keep the bike running for 15-20 mins after every 3-4 days in lockdown. So, what I have done is removed the main fuse so that the battery doesn't drain off. Is it a wise decision? Haven't started the bike since 17 March now.
Hey mate, good thinking. Yes that will disconnect the battery. Idling for that long doesn't to much good anyways. You would have to set the clock once you put fuse back in though
Cheers:)
I too have the same issue man but I have RE warrenty period of 4 months I am in an confusion that to go with the new meter console or to open the console and do the things as you did can you suggest me the proper way so that I can get rid of this issue..
Thank you
Thanks mate :)
Very helpful ! Thanks 🙏

And I've just added the 411th 👍 to the video 😁 funny coincidence
Thanks mate, glad you found this useful, cheers :)
good job
Thanks mate, i am glad you found this useful. Cheers
Is there anyway i can get that front frame/glass piece from somewhere?? Mine is cracked a little and I don't want to buy the complete console!
Very helpful, thank you!
Thanks mate, i hope this helps, Cheers :)
Thanks bro very useful
Thanks mate 🙂 I am glad you found this useful, cheers

Did you notice the position for the abs switch On the circuit board witch is available on the BS6? Now i wonder....would it be this easy to just install a switch and have a switchable ABS.....
Hey mate, actually the circuit is a bit different and also the ABS management unit. But there are different ways to have a switchable ABS, i have done one mod in the below vids, cheers :)

After the fix, the fuel gauge is going well below the red line. tried fixing it but it freely rotates. Any suggestions?
Hi, is the part that sits on the needle firmly and totally in? Also please check that it's not cracked.
Yes it's firmly in and not cracked. It works but starting point is well below the red line and the ending point is before the last reading on a full tank. I tried adjusting but it freely rotates
I did as u showed....now the Oil indicator needle is malfunctioning... can u suggest some solution ?
If you are using a smartphone camera, you can make a forehead mount so you can use both hands.
Thanks for the feedback mate :)
I have procured a tripod, and learning to use it too, So hopefully next set of vids would be
better.
Cheers :)
Is it possible to dial down the intensity of the light? It's blinding driving nighttime. I just taped mine over ..
Hello, I have Himalayan 2016 model, can I only change or repair the display where it shows time and gear. Mine is half invisible
Parabéns my brother !! From Brasil !!!
Thanks mate. I appreciate it :)
cheers
How you open the clamp.
I tried but not able to do that
Hey thanks! I have the same annoying vibration.. will the RE warranty cover fixing the problem?
Thanks mate, the issue is, you might get it replaced but my only concern is that the new one might develop same issues after few hundred or thousand kilometers. That is why i thought to mange the core issue myself and it has worked, cheers :)
I just read previous posts, you're right.. If RE never corrected the design fault, correct it yourself! Himalayan reminds me of the old user friendly low tech split window VW vans.. half the fun was in developing a working relationship. Try that with the more complex/reliable character free Japanese bikes.. they don't need you. The Himalayan is like an old friend. It teaches you the importand lessons in life like.. learning how to fix it yourself! 😊
Very Informative Bro.... 👍
Thanks mate, I really appreciate it, hope this helps if need arises, Cheers :)
@@leuheanrede Definitely it wil be of a big help. It helps us to educate ourselves on Troubleshooting. Btw i have brought an NGK SPARK PLUG for my HIMALAYAN. Yesterday i was doing some Fit Checks with my Multimeter. I set the Multimeter on 20k OMS and got a reading of 4.75 OMS.... is tat Reading good? Its a brand new plug. The other checks were all Good.
Hi man...i can t remove the lancets ..bs6 ...can you help me?
Can you pls do a video on how to remove the headlight and the glass...
Sure mate, will cover that once I change the bulb. But why do you want to remove the head light?
Rpm needle not opening
Fantastic
Thanks mate :D
Hope this helps to iron out any issues
Cheers :)
Excellent job great video very helpful
Thanks mate, really gald you found these useful, cheers :)
How can i do the needle sweep on himalayan BS6
Hey, very informative, have same problems but additionally a flying stone off gravel road hit and broke one of the viewing windows (covering fuel/compass gauges). You can easily get here in NZ a whole unit but no-one is selling just the console unit covers. Can anyone help me? I don't really want a whole new unit. The bike has done 25K and I like it to be like that! The cover can come off a faulty unit that was replaced but has an undamaged cover. My Himalayan is a carbureted BS3, hence the unit has 5 indicator lights/mini windows, not 6 as it is on BS4/Injected/ABS models. Once I have a replacement cover I will try to fix the rattle as well!
Thanks uu helpful video 👍
Thanks mate, Cheers :)
Bro,.on my Himalayan petrol is bubbling up from petrol tank key hole . What is the cause of it
Hey mate, I am guessing it happens after ride or when bike is sitting under sun. Its normal, do check for evap hoses under the tank and make sure its not pinched. Also check and ascertain that there is no water in the tank. Cheers :)
Hello👋
Actually I have a problem with my odometer. If it’s in neutral it’s showing 4th gear and when it’s at 5th it remains at 4th itself. Wat could be the problem? And how to solve it?
Yup, that does happen, first need to check the wiring is not cut second need is to clean and adjust the clutch/chain. Will try and post a vid on it shortly. Cheers :)
leuheanrede thank you. Expecting for ur video sooner.
I need to change the mode buttons . Monkey took it out . Need help with that . Please reply anyone if u can !?
Mene speedometer kholke sab sahi se jod diya. But after joining everything, everything is working good but the digits are gone. I cannot see any digits on the big screen. Help!!
Its ruined mate, you need to buy a new one now 😕
Naah just kidding. Fret not. First thing. Disconnect and reconnect the coupler that connects to speedo console. Before reconnecting, switch on the ignition for 5-10 secs.
If that still doesn't work. Reopen the console, very carefully/gingerly, and notice the brown copper colored cable harness connected to bottom of that LCD display. Make sure it is evenly aligned. If not, again gingerly pry it back in.
Be very careful and close it up. All should be ok once you switch the ignition on. Cheers :)
Nice 👏🏻
Thanks mate :)
Cheers
Hey brother i was unable to remove the rpm needle how to remove rpm needle? Could i need to pull needle with pressure or first need to move needle in anti clock wise direction? My fingers getting pain but needed can't remove!
Same here, were you able to remove it?

In warranty period I had replaced 4 time console meter because of this issue
And still RE is not doing its bit to improve quality. All they need to do is ask thier OEM PRICOL to tighten those screws or may be use loctite or some thing and issue solved.. hmm..
@@leuheanrede even I wrote multiple mail to RE support team for permanent solution but every time they asked to visit RE service center & there executive have only one solution replacement.. that's it, no R&D they are doing to solve this issue permanently...
Thanks for your vdo now I know how to solve this issue and I will do something for waterproofing..
Why ?
Because I am stupid and had absolutely nothing else to do in life :D
Dislike and move on mate :)
Some really harsh derogatory comments will be good if you can, else all good, hate, curse and move on. It was your bad luck that CZcams algorithms decided to show this to you. Have a great ride and life. Hope to never see you again. And I am on my part absolutely sorry on behalf of CZcams to show this absolutely nincompoopish video to you
Cheers ;)
Hello namaskar sar yah Jo meter Himalaya gadi ka jo bullet ka meter hai iske connection check karne ke liye uska jo kuchh connection negative positive vah aapke video per download kar do
