Reviews of Royal Enfield Himalayan [2015-2023]

Dreams vs reality..!Re can never make an issue-free/error less bike. The day i bought, i was very happy, but on 17th day of owning, it has stopped its operations when i was riding back to my home at 2200 hours (just imagine). Since then the problems persist one or other. Oil leakage is never stopped. Clutch plate got changed, handle cone set has been replaced 2-3 times by now. Engine head changed couple of times and so many other parts has been replaced till now. I am lucky that all were under warranty but what will happen after warranty is my main concern. Royal enfield himalayan is not at all a reliable product so please do not buy it. In last 1 year, bike spent its 3 months in service center and now, i have only 11 months left in warranty now. Clue-less afterwards.

About the Reviewer

In 2016, I purchased My first Dream Bike Bs3 bike which had done 1.10 lakh km and sold. Recently again I purchased a BS6 model
Riding- It feels Like Home, Deeply seated, Ultimate for Tour & Off road 100% Stable at any conditions.
Pros-
-Looks, Ruggedness and Comfortable.
-Road Side Assistance- it means A lot valuable than just a 3 letter word.
-Versatility , This word another meaning is "Himalayan". Trust me you will become fearless and confident to ride on any Type of Road in any weather condition. It will amaze you with its capabilities and simplicity.
Cons-
-For those who loves copycat, cheap bikes everything in this bike is a con for them.
-Its a con for those, immature, who knows about biking to be only, to give high acceleration and hard braking.
It is for those - who loves practicality like touring at 100km whole day, smooth riding, long tours with pillion and 1 month luggage, and various customization.

About the Reviewer

Booked in January. had to wait for 6 months to get hand on this bike. When I received from showroom the bike wouldn't start. They said need to fill up petrol first than it will run smoothly. Even after that it still had startup issues so I went to service center which is actually useless in Mumbai. Waited for 2 days for issue to be fixed, but then the engine light started to show up. Raised this issue on first service and they didn't fix it. Now rear brake is making abrupt noise while applying.
Pathetic buying experience, Pathetic service.
Maybe some of you had no issue but for me it was a disaster.

About the Reviewer

Style with little customization and a few accessories the bike will be ready.

Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox good response and less vibration. Does not matter if riding and travelling is your passion.

Ride quality & handling good stablization and grip. Well balanced and good handeling.

Final words this bike will bring more excitment in himalaya

areas of improvement should work more on accessoiries, design, color, graphics, guards and more engine power.

Pros

riding comfort, seat foam, handle placement, no vibration, stability, grip, mono-suspension, etc

cons

styling, fuel capacity, headlight

I bought the bike on march 19th 2021 and I loved the bike very much but issues started after first service that is after 500 km. The will not start after we turn it off for some reason. It will not start once it’s turned off. It’s a brand new bike and showing this kind of problems and also it will stall in the middle of the heavy traffic. Today, I almost crashed because the bike turned off when I was riding on 70 km/h with pulled throttle. The bike slipped because the rear tyre got locked as the bike turned off. I have visited the showroom several times but problem still continues.

About the Reviewer

I will directly jump to do and don't on this bike if you want to keep it like a new for long...Don't...1. Never rev this (any) bike immediately after starting. 2. Heat-up the engine properly, i have many times ridden this bike with out warming the engine, it sounds pathetic more vibration and performance decrease s.3. Never polish any part. Matt so no polish.4. Re although have provided an upgraded cluster meter but it is not trust worthy. Just don't trust mileage , compass .5. As gear shifter are tight in this motor bike never use local clutch wire... You will burn your bike clutch assembly Do.1. Keep fuel up, never trust cluster meter it goes to f trip and shows mileage (average) below 10 km.2. Order a micro fiber cloth and clean the bike using that cloth, ordinary cotton cloth v/s microfiber on matt is a huge difference.3. If you have knowledge and a great machine use 3rd party engine oil and other fluids like from motol etc.. They are much better for engine. Even brake pads but i have installed them after sanding them making a juggad.

About the Reviewer

Best adventure tourer in budget for indian roads with off roading capable as well as good on highways. Sitting position, pickup, less vibration make it a good choice. I bought himalayan bs4 in 2018,using it for weekend rides and long rides twice in year. Bike never disappointed me. My experience with this bike is awesome. I installed extra fog lights, panniers, long windshield for touring. My bike is giving average of 40+kmpl because i only take it out on highway cruising or riding. If you are looking for entry level adventure tourer and planning something big in upcoming years, you can go for himalayan for first.
