However, the BS4 compliant motorcycle may finally have bigger changes based on the feedback of issues.

The concept of an off-roading adventure motorcycle is immaculate, however, the production model seems to have some major engine and other related issues.

After Half An Hour Of Ordeal And Looking At The Things That The Guys Were Best At Doing -ANALYSING,To My Horror I Was Told To Take The Bike And Go Home With This Serious Problem.

The Manager Of The Workshop Had Been Called And It Was His Suggestion That I Somehow Take The Bike Home And That Someone Will Pick The Bike In The Morning.

Besides All The Laurels I Have Been Spreading For This Bike I Think I Should Rather Warn Possible Customers From Buying This Unpolished Himalayan.

Let Me Ask You How Will It Survive The Real Himalayas How Will You Provide Assistance To Remote Or Even States Outside Delhi When Nobody Cared Or Got Bothered That A Customer Is Stuck In The Middle Of The Road And The Best Thing For Him Is To Take It With A Pinch Of Salt And Go Home And Sleep,For His Dreams Have Just Shattered.

We were not able to start the engine early morning when temperatures were low at our camping site.

We assumed that some gear between the motor and the crank might have slipped.

Tried to push start the bike but it would not fire and eventually got rich.

Couldnt even check the spark because some genius at RE decided to part ways with a kicker, Thanks RE.

So we decided to push the bike for 10kms to the nearest mechanic.

Identified that the flywheel(freewheel) nut was loose and wasnt turning with the crankshaft.

After tightening it the engine fired up without any hesitation.

The motor was spinning freely again with no action on the crank.

He tightened the flywheel bolt but the starter motor was still running freely without cranking the engine.

He removed the LHS engine cover, removed the flywheel and was shocked to see that the flywheel key which mates the flywheel to the crankshaft has split in half.

Since the vehicle had done 220 odd kms and noise is from the engine, they want the company guys to come and inspect the vehicle before confirming anything per the mandate from RE.

They said that this the second vehicle recently with a similar problem and in the last case, RE changed the engine itself.

In general, go to any Royal Enfield Himalayan forum, problems like hard gears, braking issues, clutch snags, loose nut bolts etc are just too common.

In fact, if you go through Powerdrifts review (check around 3:20 mins) of the Himalayan, they elaborated that.a lot of nuts and bolts came loose after riding the motorcycle in the woods This, for a motorcycle which is promoted heavily as an off-roader.

Surprisingly, there is whole lot of parts that have been questioned Just for example, have a look at this advisory (appears to be for servicemen) put up at some Bangalore dealership credit XBHP.

And considering that this is an adventure tourer, god forbid if you are stuck at a remote location, you will not be left with many options.

We hear that an updated Himalayan has already been introduced silently (which has not made much of a difference).
