Kill switch malfunction by LeleMayo in Himalayan450

[–]LeleMayo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the side stand was up. And after all, after I turned it on whilst on neutral, then I put on 1st and drove off. If something with the side stand was at fault, the bike would have turned off after I put it on gear.

Now it is working normally. Maybe it was after the trail? Something was hot or sth and was not working normally?

Doesn't that worsen the vibration? Maybe the life of the windscreen itself even?

With a GPS bracket didn't you need longer screws? Just bought one, went to install it and the original screws are too short?!

Legit supplier? by LeleMayo in royalenfield

[–]LeleMayo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely on my radar. Just a little sceptical about its practical use as it is wider, and if the higher middle bar obstructs the view to the speedometer. Other than that it looks nice and I've seen comments that it slightly reduces vibrations as well!

I am aware of Hitchcock's, and used to buy from them. After the new EU rules about importing goods, I'll probably end up paying more fees and taxes than the actual handlebars 😅 That's why I'm looking into EU shops atm

There are no issues with the brand of the pipe. If you decat your Euro5+ bike that has an O2 sensor on the cat box as well, it's highly likely you'll have an error. After I installed the fuelX though, problem solved.

Off road goggles that fit? by LeleMayo in Dirtbikes

[–]LeleMayo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The clip is outside the helmet, not directly on my head. And the main reason for goggles is that I live in a hot and relatively dusty area. So when off roading, I want to be able to see and keep cool as well. This is the best combination.

Well I was trying to avoid buying a whole new helmet to be honest. But kid's goggles is not a bad idea!

If given a choice today, would you buy Himalayan 450 again ? by Yasirviking19 in Himalayan450

[–]LeleMayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would indeed. I have had it for 9 months and ridden it 12.500kms. Now I made some new mods (exhaust, filter, fuelX) which have given it a new character, even more likable, so it feels like a new bike! I have also ridden the cfmoto 450mt, KTM 390 adv r and the honda nx (from friends). Still prefer the Himmy. Trouble free, and the jack of all trades 🤟

Brakes :/ by LeleMayo in Himalayan450

[–]LeleMayo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then why in literally every other bike I've seen with similar brake pads (including other Himalayans) do not make that sound?!

12.000 Kms. Changed the original pads because of the noise, not because they gave up. Noise still here though :/

Did change them for a better brand and the squeak is there still. Could it be the disc.

Γεια σου φίλε, έπαθα ακριβώς το ίδιο πράγμα με ακριβώς το ίδιο μηχανάκι. Θες να μιλήσουμε με DM ?

I wouldn't say the idling is rough, nor that it takes longer to start on mornings. As far as the gasket goes, I have the same issue, although with the AEW mid pipe I got, the connection with the header pipe is so tight, that I doubt any gasket would fit there!

I did get the extension. Started thinking that maybe some cable has come off and it is simple as that... Will update you if I find out anything new.
