- 2024 Himalayan 450 - Some Problems? Can you ignore?
In this video I have mentioned some problems that can create an issue to some riders out there. Let me know what you think of these issues in Himalayan 450.

Thanks a lot for tuning into my channel. You can checkout some more amazing videos on the below link,

I can see that a lot of people are angry at me for pointing out what I didn’t like on Himalayan 450.
I have created many videos where I have appreciated the Himalayan 450 to the core, I don’t see same people commenting positively over there.
I own this bike and I think I have every right to give out an opinion. I believe these opinions would help our new buyers who are researching out there.
Let me tell you all one thing frankly, I have loved this bike to the core. I have found this to be an amazing motorcycle. However just because I love it doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t have an opinion about it. I have always given opinions on what I felt about the motorcycle since the inception. You can check out my other channel for reviews where you can see how I have been open about what I felt.
Anyways, we all are bikers and I believe we should love our bike with a pinch of salt.
Yeah totally I agree with you .... People who are buying should know these negative points as well ..
Aajkal Desh ka yeh haal hai jo saachai hai kisi bhi baat pe ho... Woh bole toh logon ko Hazam nahi hota... 😂😂😂😅😅😅
I respect your honest review bro #Respect keep up the good work ❤
RE community they will not like it even if it's true bcz Indian majority still don't want to tell issue of RE... BCz they still own it
i got my bike delivered this past sat.. covered 300kms…
I do agree with you at certain areas.
Pain points (my view):
1. Hex bolts- i don’t see that going to be a concern to 95% of the people, nor is it for me.
2. Joy stick - Yes, definitely not easy to access if you have a medium or small sized palm. plus the sensitivity of it is a bit weird. so you need to get used to big time.
3. Pass Light- rightly pointed out. very difficult to get adjusted as it’s implemented in a totally new location.
4. No Brake light- Chalta hai!! nothing to complain i felt. In fact it’s cool to have something new. You wreck it , you definitely have to fix it. but yea it’s again fine.
5. Headlight- looks Cool, but auxiliary lights will definitely be a must during night rides. Light throw is not that great…
6. Mode change - Not sure if it’s an issue only on my bike. i cannot change the mode (eco to performance or vice versa) while on the go. it shows the msg that it can only be done after turning off n then turning ignition on.
7. Phone on for Maps- Haha yes, that was strange. i did a 10mins map usage n my thigh was burning as my phone was heating up.
8. Hanle black - this sexy paint scheme, which the Black being metallic, is definitely a scratch or swirl mark magnet (especially the tank being so wide in front of your eyes). Try to get a ppf done as soon as you get then bike. Just a tip 😇
Anyways .. these are just points for people who are interested to know the bike inside out.
Keep all this aside, Riding this machine definitely gives you a big bike feel .. it definitely is a machine that loves to rev (am just waiting to complete 500 km mark and get the first service done ). I strongly feel no one would regret picking this over any other bike… Happy Riding ! Cheers!!
Thanks a lot for sharing your opinion ❤️
Side stand is tilted more to help short or normal riders to get on and off the bike easily while parking it.
Tail light in case I buy will definitely put most after market might get those integrated tail light not enough in india
That’s a good idea 🙌
Those bolts are hex bolts which may need to be tighten along with journey.
Yes, that’s what I mentioned. Hex bolts, I spoke mostly about the looks of it. Nothing wrong in having them but they don’t look premium is what I was thinking 😝
Finally, i video that is not blindly promoting the bike like others, great great great.
How are the vibrations.. are they too much.. i am too much tempted to get one but as a owner of Interceptor 650 i am worried about the vibrations..
Yes the vibrations are there on thr footpegs and thigh
Can someone recommend a bike which so super smooth and has no/less vibrations at any speed till 120 at least, vibrations really make the ride broadly unpleasant and gives a feel of instability and stress all over. I own a year 2002 Electra, that has vibrations of deep bass thump, which is so great that you need to feel it, but new bikes should not have it as we have silent engines and different nature completely.
Nitish bhaiya ye channel kb bana liye ?
Jab naya Himalayan delivery liya usi time pe 😁
@@nitishneo2 great 🤩
Till now everyone was riding mounting there own phone on handlebar including myself and if RE has given screen mirroring option which can save your camera and other sensors from getting shot so whats the problem and also phone heating is more when its in open during harsh sunlight, kya bolne ka ab Akkal ke andhe sab ke sab
Nahi nikalna ata side stand se bike to activa lele bhai
Foreign manufacturers kachra bhi denge to gold lagta hai...
Arey bhai.. main bol raha hoon agar phone ka screen lock hota toh acha hota.. yeh Kya bol rahe ho 😂
@@nitishneo2 screen lock he ho jata hai after mirroring but screen is on Aisa bolo... Aur bhai before this kya screen off kar ke chalate the kya... Atleast u have ur valuable phone in ur pocket safely. Kya baat kar rahe ho aap
Ekdum sahi bola bhai.Aur incase future me RE sab problem solve karde to ye bolenge ke ab price bada diya
Some follow-up Qs for perhaps your next videos/content: (I haven't seen any one addressing or touching these yet but eventually many will I assume).
For Weight Reduction:
1. Main stand is removable ? How much is tentative weight ? ~3-4 Kgs ? Ease of Removing.
2. Saree Guard Weight ? Easily removable ?
3. Anything else that is non-essentially and can be removed easily and helps with weight reduction ?
Tuning.
1. Engine feels strained or has further headroom for usage of after-market tunes from PowerTronics, etc ? If the stock tune is easy-going then perhaps the engine still has some breath left, plus its possible to bring the torque a bit early by cutting the top-end a bit.
2. Any plans of Alloys on this ? Will they help reduce the weight ?
3. Can the braking be further improved by using different brake pads, say sintered ones ? Or that's what they provide as stock ?
4. Does it perform any differently on higher/lower octane fuel ? E20 vs 95 octane.
5. Stock spark plugs ?
6. For adjustable levers for clutch/brake, is it built in a way that value aftermarket mods can be made ?
7. Can a change of Engine Oil offer difference in NVH ? Or RE is using the best one out there ? Motul/Liqui Moly at tims provide day/night difference to NVH and Heat.
Last one:
1. Is it feasible to replace the Stock 21 Inch Wheel at Front with Say 18 or 19" in Future ? This is just in case those who wished for a RE Scram 450 but can't hold their horses to end up buying Him 450.
Great set of questions bro 🙌
Loved to see that people are interested in diving deeper into this. I'll add a few things here..
1 - if you take a look at a few early news articles of the H450, bikewale had mentioned in one of them that the engine is capable of doing more but will be tuned to offer balanced performance and also long term reliability. Theres scope here, and I am sure there will be piggybacks offered soon.
2 - About the engine oil, RD suggests using semi-synthetic oil which it uses for its other bikes as well. I recently went to fully synthetic on my xpulse and the difference was sublime. Despite being a more viscous oil, the motorcycle's performance didn't seem to suffer. The bike feels more refined at around 100 kmph where earlier it complained. I haven't clocked a lot of kms.. but I am sure that it is a positive start. The RE oil has some positive reviews, but for better experience, I highly recommend switching to fully synthetic.
3- Coolant. Stock coolant can be replaced with better quality ones to prevent overheating. A cooler running engine means better reliability in the long run, along with better FE and overall performance.
4 - Regarding alloys, since the USD's are similar to that of the SM650 and the SG650, you can probably experiment with trying either ones if the fit the H450 too.
That's some of my findings.. let's see how this goes 😁
These are exact things I'm concerned but sab ko HM450 ke side stand ki padi hai😂
@@drharshadmohare bhai give it sometime.. I have just clocked 350kms on the motorcycle. Can only comment if I face those issues or something similar 😄
@@nitishneo2 bhai I have question if u have information about that is this bike running on Mineral oil till it's first oil change?
The suspension comment was pure idiocy😅
Hex is easier for assembly-disassembly and is usually of a higher load rating. Adjustable suspension is very expensive. Side stand is tilted to swing your leg over more easily.
Thanks for the valuable information
Frankly Nitish you cribs sound so minor and biased. Will you criticize BMW and other premium brands who have implemented similar taillight. Very immature.
@@gopirster bro I own the bike, I think I have a right to have an opinion and share it with people. I would have owned a BMW if that was the case.
@@gopirster"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function"
This is not called front heavy, that's called top heavy bro. Please use proper information 😊
Agreed 🙌
Slip of tongue.. my bad.
@@nitishneo2 thanks Bro 😊
Fanboys bashing u in comments for no reason 🤣
Ha ha ha 🤣
Without tubeless tyres this bike is dangerous to ride at high speed on higway
What’s the relation between high speed and tube tyres?
Good point brother.. but Andhbhakt RE fans will troll you after watching this 😂
Hex bolts have a more extensive application range and are suitable for heavy-duty jobs whereas Allen bolts are perfect for light-duty
Review is just bullshit
Add the language in title, i clicked to see video because of English title
Would be great to know what you are saying.. little bit English here and there but all the important info you change to Hindi 😂
Ha ha ha sorry buddy. Just tried to cater it to the local audience 😝
I hope the captions are working, if not then I will try uploading the video with captions.
Namakaraa guru
I was expecting some major issues like chassis or engine now i am thinking to buy it around June ie 2nd or 3rd batch vehicle any suggestions
Go for it geleya 🙌
Yes those reasons cannot be ignored. RE paid a lot of attention to the engine for sure, but did not much on the overall finish.
Tail light 🚨 you have to buy in accessories, like
i phone charger 😊
lol 😂
As RE is launching newer bikes, they’re bringing up more probs in their machines and increasing their percentage of unsatisfied customers due to their lousy services and not respectfully looking over and solving the customer’s issue’s. Although great videos mate! Looking forward to more such unbiased and genuine videos ;)
I took test ride of the bike few days before and the very first thing before even sitting on it was the side stand having too much tilt. The bike is tall and for shorter riders including myself this is a problem. But eventually will get used to it. I asked RE guys if they are providing any accessory side stand but they don't have any such accessory available. This is surely an issue.
iPhone cannot be used for navigation is also a little disheartening.
I don't mind the hex bolts. This cannot be said unfinished or bad work, but more of a choice as this is supposed to be a rugged motorcycle then a sophasticated one.
And yes the low end torque is not that good which is expected from this sort of engine.
Overall, I think you have pointed out things that other reviewrs should have. These are the actual issues that must be noticed.
I don't think your review is useful you just making it for content
Okay bro 🙌
Pick a language and stick to one.
Chotasa long drive 😅❤❤❤
Worst review I have ever seen in my life. It seems like the content is created just for the sake of creating.
lol 😂
Just because it doesn’t suit your narrative
There is no narrative, it is just feedback to help you to create better content. By the way many in the comment section also second to my opinion. What kind of review is that nut, bolt, stand, weight etc. etc. do you really have a review?
Check the title once, this is not even a review

Howdu geleya
zabardasti ka cons 😅
Good points but I don’t understand what you mean by front heavy; do you actually mean top-heavy? Quite a few popular adventure motorcycles are top-heavy (eg Yamaha Tenere 700). I haven’t seen this Motorycle in real life but it looks quite nice, especially compared to the older Himalayan.
Yes, I meantTop heavy. Front heavy was a slip of tongue.
Very childish video, not a mature content I must say. The price that you have paid vs the points that you are calling out, I think one need to pay more than 1 lac rupees.
So considering the price point, they have offered the bang on stuffs, at times we should also learn how to appreciate and change the thought process
No hard feelings bro, just a thought that came and I thought to share
Thanks 😊
Hi niten sir i have metore and have face fork alignment problem in my bike company nigalt every point but when I chek out outer Meschinic they showing in chassis fault. I have face this this issue since from last year. What should I do sir I have pain in my hand while driving. royel enfield not reaponded. very very poor service from RE. I don't know whey they launch the bike they don't have such solution.
Oh! That’s bad bro 😕
Honest review nitish bro 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you bro ❤️
Dada vibration issue vatle nahit ka..mi ride ghetli tenva I felt so much vibrations. Ashi bike gheun touring krayla avdel pn mgh 5 k rpm chya vr khup ch vibration ahet n kdhi kdhi engine la pay lagun chatka bsto ha ek issue mla janvla..
Pan vibrations are a part and parcel of any single cylinder engine.. Mala te okay vaatla hey bike var. ani heating pan aahe but normal..
Let’s see what happens over a period of time 🤘
Genuine review n genuine person 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you ❤️
It is front heavy to compensate luggage weight at the back, afterall it's a touring bike.
Front heavy is actually the nature of Adv’s but too heavy on the front is what I felt must have been looked into 😁
application of hex bolts is done in areas where vibration is seen more. Where as Allen Bolts are not that great in handling vibrations.
Thanks for pointing that out
I have booked this bike and pretty much agree to all your reviews regarding this
Infact now i know what all i should be looking out for when i ll actually get the bike in hands
Thanks for all the inputs
Congratulations 🙌
I plan to use a bike GPS instead of the tripper. I don't like the idea of my phone heating up as well as the battery drain, as you said. Also poor cell reception, esp. in remote places.
I searched for bike Garmin GPS a couple months ago on Amazon and other portals and found hardly any. I realized I would have to ask someone coming from US to get one for me.
I would rather put a bike GPS that uses satellite and connects power directly to bike battery. I'm one that gets lost all the time. I also look at nearby roads and stopping points constantly. For me a reliable navigation system is a must.
It's money I would rather not spend since the tripper is there. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised by its utility.
That’s a valid point 🙌
front heavy ❌
top heavy ✅
I have mentioned that in one of the comments.. it was a slip of tongue.
Dealer want to delivery demo unit (Himalayan 450 Hanley Black).May i go for or should wait for fresh one ? Need suggestion.
Demo unit is not an issue.. but don’t go for a test ride unit.
But demo unit also hundreds of people will start the bike accelerate unnecessary to check the bike sound i would say wait for fresh piece 😅
Wish these Indian video reviews were available in English. Is there a way to do this?
You can turn on the captions.. it’s kinda accurate sometimes. I have mostly used English in between considering the viewers from varied geographies. Hope that helps.
Brother thise bike coolent system is very complecated ...oil and air cooled system is best...... liquid cool system not perfect to bike .. because engine is not sefe ........I am cancelling thise bike because reason is this bike liquid cool system
Lmao
Cool
Solution of alwys on display:
1. Mere Nothing Phone 2 me lock krne k baad bhi map dikhata rehta hai which is advantage for me,
To jo bhi H450 lene wala ho wo Nothing ka phone b le lena 😅,
2. Side stand ka jyada tilt hona b logical laga kyuki iska weight itna jyada hai ki kai bar bike uthate wakt ulti disha me girne ka issue hua hai uss position se aap sirf bike utha satke hai girne ka chances kam ho jaye iss liye tilt side stand diya hai,
Nitish bhai Riding ke waqt hone wali dikkato ka vdo banaye esi asha rahegi yegi dhira 🙏
Thanks for such valuable comment bro.. pakka aur bhi videos ayengi.. will keep posting as and when I notice something 🙌
What about engine performance… is it too good that you didnt face issues
Have shot separate videos on its performance. I have created a whole playlist there.
I think one more point is tube tires
Bro you again forgot the most important point, due to which many has kept their decision pending, availability of the cross spoke wheels
Didn’t forget bro.. tube spoke wheels are okay. Cross spoke ayega toh it’s like an icing on the cake.
@@nitishneo2 Maybe okay until you encounter a puncture, right 😅 ?
Ha ha ha absolutely 😝
Bro If possible, video on modes of motorcycle would be nice.
Sure bro 🙌
You're right
Bhai aapne is se pehle triumph 400 scrambler test ride li kya
Yes bro.. I had it with me for a week😁
Just one question what was the reason choosing himalayan over scrambler and Plzz bring on the channel and compare to himalayan i am totally confused btwn this 2 bikes right now non of these bike available in my city so test ride choda dekhna b nasib nhi hua h
Maps k liye Apple ka fon toh nahi loge... Bahut he sahi bhai... 😂😂😂
Ha ha ha ha 😂
u r now absolutely 2.0👍
Thank you ❤️
Why bro 2nd channel??
Wanted to create some different content 😁
Aj kal sadak se uth k koi bhi rider ban jata hai..knowledge hai nai agye gadi ko leke camera k samne...allen bolts chaiye 😂😂😂😂
Adjustable suspension chor bajar me milre hai jo itne optimum prices gadi me lagaeynge.😂
Improvemnts are not appreciated to RE ,but complaints BMW wali nikalenge....gadi beche de aur Ninja lele.😂
Haan bro.. aaj hi pehli baar UA-cam pe video bana raha hoon. Need your guidance ❤️
@@nitishneo2 atleast dont crib bro appreciate the effort.or else sell the bike get the premium one.
Fanboys and their logic. According to them you can't even express your opinion.
@@DAILY_FACTS_TREAT don’t crib😂 ab bas yehi sunna baaki tha

RE = TATA
Solid in products but lacks in fit & finish...❤❤
Agreed 🙌
Kuch bhi, Super meteor ko dekho😅
@@adityan3208 - kuch bhi waali baat h to dada look at "Range Rovers😬😬
@@Immazine Range Rover is not a Tata product, Mr. Tata just owns the brand. There is a difference.
RE is trying to make paisa vasool bikes, Super meteor mei they could afford fit and finish, Himalayan 450 mei nahi, as simple as that, maybe because it's cheaper but still has a shova fork
go and buy platinA...
Already bought a platina.. test ride chahiye ?
@@nitishneo2 no thnks.. I don't ride plastic
Good Video!
Thank you ❤️
@@nitishneo2 Did you notice any Pulling issue when you leave your hand while riding over 60 ?
I got the bike 5 days back and I totally agree with you on all points! @@nitishneo2

I think you should sell Himalayan and buy Triump and be happy...no point in cribbing
Who’s cribbing? Watch the complete video 🤷♂️
😂😂😂😂😂
In that case, even you shouldn't be cribbing in the comment section, just see another video. It's easier than him buying a different bike
How naive do you have to be to open a video that has issues in the title and then get upset that issues are being discussed?
Who hurt you bro ?
Love from KOLKATA ❤❤❤
Thank you ❤️
Good review bro...Very useful as we need to understand the pain areas before the purchase of the bike ..Serious buyers always look in to both PRos and cons ...Waiting for my Himalayan ..Cheers
Deal breaking to ek bhi point nahi tha
Hmmm
Did you test ride? I just did it and the side stand tilt is a huge issue.
Informative videos bro
Thank you so much ❤️
