Well worth doing that I'd say, partially seized steering is no fun...….luckily the inherent stability and low CofG of the Himalayan help avoid catastrophe in that situation!

Mine lives outdoors and has never had any condensation in the instruments; I don't know if that makes a difference...…..I have got knackered head bearings though, started to feel wrong by about 9000mls. Hopefully all these warranty claims will result in the lads on the production line getting a bit ...

Well, I'm pretty sure most of us who bought one will confirm that these bikes ARE "great value" as suggested in the thread title. I've done about 9000 miles so far, and at about 70mpg on fuel, negligible oil consumption, about 120 quid for dealer services, and 8000+ miles from a rear tyre (somewhat ...

I think the bike meets the concept/design brief RE were aiming for pretty well, and at a reasonable price. Each to their ...

I've done a couple of thousand road miles now, and generally can't fault the bike. 1st service was just under a hundred quid, no problems apart from standard stuff like punctures! The rear wheel is a bit of a faff to get back on compared with some bikes, but at least it has a decent centre stand ...

So far very pleased with look and feel of the bike, and glad I haven't gone for something heavier or indeed taller. If well run-in and dosed with the old @Star Tron@ fuel additive, I'm expecting a smooth ...

Hi people; just thought I should join up as I'm picking up a suitable machine in a couple of weeks. Have found the forum and website invaluable over the last few months.....oh yes, the new bike is a Royal Enfield Himalayan, and I'll be taking it up to the top of the Italian Alps the next chance I ...
