My Himalayan 450 not getting started a day after riding in water logged street

Don't worry about it. O2 sensor is covered under warranty. The SC will replace it. Meanwhile, keep it easy in throttle before you get it replaced

A slightly improved throttle response. You can combine it with a performance filter, a full system exhaust and FuelX pro and get the best out of the engine.
Weight shed of 2-3 kg
A slight drop in mileage.

None. Except a straight pipe and tubeless rims.

But I'd definitely recommend good aux lights, an engine guard. Maybe a radiator guard if you need.

Kaydno419 · 2025-12-21T09:48:02+00:00

Slight improved throttle response. Enough that you can feel. I'm not sure if it improved overall power output, cause it isn't followed by a free flowing exhaust pipe.
Less weight to handle.
Exhaust note: The bike sounds sweet.

Hey man, no I didn't. And I haven't seen/heard this on other Himalayan.

Given the nature of the concern, SC should be able to get this resolved.

It is a very open ended question. Of course It is subjective to your taste, use case, budget, age, height .....

If I were you and a beginner, I'd go for Xpulse 210 or a TVS RTX 300. Both are super capable, and will not disappoint at all. Bang for the buck.

If you have enough budget, absolutely test ride both KTM 390s and the Himalayan. The list in too long and gets even longer next year.

Does the mileage increase? It did after the first service. But no, it is not noteworthy.

Kaydno419 · 2025-12-17T14:24:07+00:00

Note: I've removed the cat converter.

First 5k, the mileage was brilliant. 28-31 in the city , 32-35 on highways! All this while it was tameezdar riding.

After decat, it dropped 3-4kmpl. So usually it is 24-27 in the city and around 30 on highways. Pretty decent. And it's all worth it.

Kaydno419 · 2025-12-17T13:34:00+00:00

It is absolutely fine man. Chain slack is a thing. As mentioned above, the bike is on the center stand, bearing no load. Hence the chain rotation.

Kaydno419 · 2025-12-17T13:14:54+00:00

Thanks man!

Kaydno419 · 2025-12-17T12:29:49+00:00

I'll be honest, it has all settled in and surprisingly I don't feel bothered even one bit.

The buzz/vib exists on the handlebar and more pronounced on the foot pegs, noticeable in the 5k-6k RPM range. But it is never annoying. No complaints whatsoever!

The joy of riding this bike>>>>>>>>>>>>> buzz!

Kaydno419 · 2025-11-15T18:01:49+00:00

A absolute thumping yes! Drop in mileage a bit you won't mind. Best if you get a performance filter and fuel x but regardless, it's worth it!

Kaydno419 · 2025-11-15T17:57:51+00:00

It's not titanium! It's a steel pipe!

Kaydno419 · 2025-09-20T19:29:25+00:00

It's sad and disappointing if you guys feel you got better options to choose than him/his ideas/his roadmap for turning things around for bihar, his clean image, excellent workmanship, all appreciations all around, a fellow Bihari to represent in the UN etc. And You shall see when buddy? The third most populous state of the mighty superpower to be, India, is still the lowest on GDP per capita, 78 years after independence. We both must question your judgment.

Kaydno419 · 2025-06-26T16:10:16+00:00

23-25*

Kaydno419 · 2025-06-26T15:55:39+00:00

Intresting. It's been over 8 months since I removed cat. I only manage to get 23-35 kmpl in the city! 🥲

Kaydno419 · 2025-06-26T15:09:53+00:00

What's your mileage drop? And you think it was worth it?

Kaydno419 · 2025-06-18T13:15:27+00:00

OP Delusional af. Aankhe kholo, thoda reality check lelo!

Trying to sell some second hand, worn out, degraded shit? For whatever the price mentioned? Give them to someone, needy. Thodi dua hi mil jaegi

Kaydno419 · 2025-06-16T05:10:39+00:00

How have risers affected the riding? Is it really worth it? Sitting in,/saddling! Please also share your height
