    Sir, I came back from Spiti valley trip last week, unfortunately we had to return from Kaza as Manali Chandigarh Highway was having lots of landslides and police was returning people from Chandra taal & Batal. So went to Rakccham on our way back. Awesome trip, RE Himalayan for the win.

      Yes Spiti valley has been closed for a while and we too did not go there though we were scheduled to. And happy that you had an alternate route and had a good time. And yes, the Himmer is quite well suited for the Himalayas. Cheers!

    Hey I have doubt, is there any alternative for the detergent like diesel or wd40 or chain cleaner? And even for the oil does light coat of chain spray works, I am curious if you have tried similar alternatives, and if we are stranded and only have basics like petrol wd40 and can of chain spray does it hurt the fabric of the filter.
    I like your content btw no bs just facts, please let these type of videos keep coming

    • @bigbearbangalore

      Soap water can be used. No diesel or wd40. These will destroy the filter fabric.

    I'm looking to improve the throttle response of my Honda H'ness CB 350 on highway rides. Considering I can buy only one of the following parts at a time, in which order should I get these - BMC air filter, Fuelx pro ECU, and Red Rooster exhaust. Which one of these would make the most amount of difference for the money?
    Thanks!
