- Hello,
In the Part 2 of the video on the modified Royal Enfield Himalayan, we compare it against a stock Himalayan to know how fast it is, how lighter it is and how much did all the mods cost.
Hope you enjoy the video. Cheers!

Let me some up like this sheer knowledge , no non sense, more practicality with fun when this duo are together. . .loved this version of himalayan ! Cheers
Thank you. 🙏
Honestly, i was expecting a leaner member Muddy Hog 411 when you started on the project. You have done it perfectly. After upgrading to the Adv 390 from the Himalayan, i realised there are so many things RE could have done better seeing the mods on your bike. I also rode it for about some time on our return leg and quickly realised how much change it is to the stock version. The clutter was missing, the acceleration was great and the confidence of holding it at high speeds. I clocked 110 or so on the speedo and it was rock solid.
It's a big amount you have spent on making it the machine that ideally a manufacturer should look to do in the first place.
Hi. The mods that I did are reversible. Nothing permanent. No cutting or welding. And this is as far as I could go without getting extreme about it. And I think the Muddy is in a good place. Perhaps down the line some minor mods would keep happening.
Thanks for the kind comment and thanks for the camera work. Cheers!
Most underrated channel i have ever seen! Love you guys❤❤
🙏👍
You have some good and sensible mods on your bike, especially the YSS suspension and the lighter rims. 2.5 kg weight reduction on the front rim is a lot!
Thanks!
The stock front wheel is really heavy and at 21" it's got max potential for weight savings. Rear we saved about 1 kg having moved to 18" regular Excel rims and had we used the Takasago 17" the savings would have been close to 2.0 kg. The Excel Takasago Japan rims are international motocross competition aluminium alloy rims so no surprises that they are so light.
@@bigbearbangalore Yes, the weight saving on the rear is also significant but on the front the gyroscopic effect is greater due to the larger diameter. So, a 2.5 kg reduction there must have improved handling tremendously.
Oh yes! It's significantly more flickable at any speeds. The gyro effect is huge on the stock wheel. And the lighter unsprung mass has improved the bumpy road behaviour. The front is now more planted, stable and responds well.
@@bigbearbangalore Nice! Indeed the reduced gyroscopic effect would improve handling and the reduced unsprung weight would improve suspension performance which will in turn allow the front tyre to grip the road better.
Awesome video and I enjoyed sharing my experiences with the muddy hog 411. Envy your thought process in making a bike get meaner n more responsive. ❤❤.
Thank you for calling me over.
Thanks. Cheers!
Hat's off to you Bosky for such modifications which speaks volumes about your passion for perfection 👌. Had I been Siddharth Lal, I would have offered you the position of Technical head of RE😊. Your quest and initiatives for improving the stock product to such level is second to none . I wish the manufacturers seek your expertise to improve their products to such quintessential levels.
Thank you!
😃 I am not qualified to lead any technical department of any manufacturer. They will go broke if they follow my design inputs. 😁
Thanks for your kind words. Cheers!
This was great! Thank you so much for taking the time to make such helpful videos. I’m new to bike maintenance and improving their performance at this level. Watching your “How To” videos gives me the inspiration to try doing it myself. I’m watching from England. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful modifications you have done sir, definitely worth the time and money invested on it, definitely after seeing the review from you, can definitely say that this is how the company should have come up with this wonderful machine, for sure it would have ticked the boxs for the adv enthusiasts, as a Himalayan owner myself, would definitely want to do these mods
Thank you so much for your kind appreciation. Regards.
muddy hog is a hit! good job. Any other mods planned down the road?
Thanks. At the moment nothing major planned. Although, the mind is slways working and thinking. Cheers!
not to uncles having thier funnest life
love watching them do thing❤❤
🙏
Very nice info, as always.
“Slowest weekend”….😂 certainly lightened up a dull weekend at my end.
😀 Cheers!
Bosky, your articulation of the mods helps understand the practical advantages! Would want t to meet you In person
I was lucky to meet you during one of the weekend breakfast rides on Hassan road
Hi! Thanks. Yes it was nice meeting you rhe other day and looking forward to catching up again. Cheers!
The scram is 15kg lighter than the Himalayan, imagine a muddy hog mod for that, it would be super lite.
Yes could have and it does not have 2 main requirements that I was looking for, Keihin FI and chassis front bracket. Hence the Himmer. Cheers!
No no no it’s not about 390 adv 😂… loved that !!
😀👍
Sir, unfair. You are tempting me to go buy a bike immediately. It's been great discovering this channel. Cheers.
Welcome aboard!
Hi. I really like your videos. I feel they carry quality, detail and integrity. For example, you guys talk about engine clatter, engine heat, etc, which many reviewers don't mention. You guys mentioned that the mods greatly reduced the engine clatter. Which exact mod did that? I love the bike, but the engine noise really gets on my nerves. That and the engine heat. I have been hunting and trying ways to reduce them for some years now.
Thanks.
FuelX can help reduce combustion clatter.
En swamy, hustling with the many videos. 👍
Muddy hustle. 😉
Thank you very much for a successful modification... You rock... Actually I wanted to hear exhaust note after modification... If possible please add few riding videos with real sound...
Thank you. Will do.
Great video as always. I’ve always felt that there’s a lot more that can be achieved from the Himalayan and your modifications are simple proof of that. They are thought through after recognising the traits of the bike. I’m also running my BS3 with the touring seat and touring handlebar and a BMC filter for quite a few years now. These alone make a huge difference. Would like your advice on the tubeless conversion- is it advisable to do an Outex conversion on stock rims? Thank you
Thank you.
The Outex is for use only on tubeless compatible rims and will not work on stock rims. Too many things can go wrong. So I suggeat that you use it only when you change the rims. Regards.
Ok cool, thank you
Awesome job done Bosky. Can make one think again to get Himalayan 😊
Thanks. Yes, it has made me think again.
This type of modification should be done on the gt 650 also❤
Whoa! That will be one helluva motorcycle then! 😀
Very informative and simple video. Great job guys
Glad you liked it!
I don't have a bike but I sit like to his blog🔥
🙏
The gas tank, surely there is another RE tank that is smaller and can fit? Please speak to this and if multiple suppliers exist for aluminum rims. Asking from the UAE. Oh yeah, love the channel.
A smaller tank? That's interesting. Need to make one cos there is none that is available.
Aluminium Excel rims are available most times and imported. Regards.
Now waiting for that modified ronin.
Yes we too. Cheers!
Where is your interceptor? I loved the mods you did on it.
Sold! 🙂
Awesome 11 kgs reduction..woww.
Can you also do a video on drop links on lowering the Himalayan. Havent seen any videos from anyone in India.
I haven't done this type of lowering and have no practical experience. Although am aware hownit works on theory. Will check on this. Thanks.
The only fly that still remains in the ointment is the Tube Type Tyres!😀
The rear is outex ans tubeless while the front is still with tube. The rim is narrow and installation of outex is tricky hence I decided against it. Besides 90% of the flats happen to the rear. Regards.
Was eagerly waiting for this video.
What is the continuous top speed you could achieve?? Have you tasted it to know this parameter??
Thanks for the update.
Hi! Was able to hold 100-110 and hit a top of 120 as per the GPS. The speedometer was reading 130+ though.
Regards.
@@bigbearbangalore excellent.
Looks like RE has picked up a few tips from the muddy hog project and implemented it to the new Himalayan 452.
Good job.
How do i connect with you?
Insta
I was dreaming of buying an Himalayan for me , but when i got a chance to ride it , i felt like im too skinny to handle this guy and lost my spark on buying an Himalayan
But r8 now honestly now i wanna buy one and modify it like bosky sir 😊, thankyou soo much that now i can revive my dream with double the cost 😂, but how can i find you sir to seek help😢 ,but one day i will meet u with my Himalayan fir sure
😀😀😀
Bosky sir, you videos are very good. But on this video the video brightness is very high.
OK thanks for observation. Will check on what caused this. Am an amateur cameraman so errors do creep in, sorry.
Class ending shot 😂
😄
👍 Watching this makes me wonder how soon you will begin your "diet" process for the new Himalayan 450...? 🤔🧐🤪
😀🙏
Is it Bandipur Forest Road, Wayanad 😊???
No it's not. Don't remember where.
Hi sir.. Great video.. Lot of information.. I would like to know that if I opt three changes to my BS4 Himalayan 2019,like 1.powertronics, 2.fuelx, 3.devil's evolution.. Would there be improvement in speed and power.. (I don't want to go for change in wheels and suspension).. Thank you in advance.. ❤❤
Thanks.
Oh yes! With the 3 items +BMC air filter, the Himmer will become faster for sure.
Great Work Sir!🤩
🙏
Himalayan 411
BS6
Problem - Handle movement not free, one side pulling.
Work done by me -
Cone set and T changed - 2times.
Front wheel and tyre changed - 1 time.
This problem is temporarily solved,issues are arising again
Ok sorry to hear.
Please try to help out with this issue sir
Needs detailed inspection to understand. Tyres, wheels, swing arm, etc.
Hello bro will Re Himalayan 411 cc bike discontinue in coming 2024 after launch 650 cc Himalayan bike??????
Hello! There is no 650 Himalayan as far I know. There is a 450 that could be launched this year. And post that the current Himalayan may stop. It up to RE to decide. In my opinion both can exist since they will be priced quite differently and can coexist. Cheers!
Sir please share some tips for long distance summer riding. With groups.
Hi! Will certainly plan to make that video. Thanks.
@@bigbearbangalore sir I own cb350, after watching your ktm adv 390. I have a plan to upgrade. Do you have any suggestions sir ?
Hi! Retro motorcycles are more for the simple and gentle touring and that works for some. There is a time for that and a time for serious travel and touring which can be done with less effort and less stress on proper touring motorcycles. There are plenty to choose from design to budget. From the Suzuki Vstrom 250 to the KTM390 Adventure.
Test ride multiple times all that appeals to you and choose what works for you. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore thank you sir 🙏
Too technical in some areas. Couldn't understand a lot. Any chance you can explain the mods with details and layman terminology. Not everyone is a technician.
Sorry. Could you give a couple of examples of points that only a technician would understand please? This can help me understand your comment better. Thanks.
Hello brother than.will Re Himalayan 411 cc discontinue after launch 450 Himalayan bike ?????
Hello! I don't know. Perhaps that may happen.
Nice video as always.
What handle bar are you using sir?
Thanks.
Rental bar. Cheers!
We can increase ground clearance of continent gt 650
Hello. Perhaps some spacers on the suspension at most by 10mm. But why? Increasing height will affect the stability of the GT and make it a bit top heavy.
WHY BUY HIMALAYAM 411, When you can have SCRAM 411, Same engine and almost same purpose and less weight, right ? I just wanted to know ur Opinion .
The Scram does not have the headlight bracket on the chassis. We cannot install touring seat on the Scram. And the weight declared by RE is dry weight and so ot just 3 tp 4 kgs lighter wet weight. It's not 188 kgs.
What wheels did you go with for the tubeless?
Excel aluminium wheels.
Can you suggest me how to reduce ,my FZV3 weight , Im already considering , removing center stand, saree guard, crash guard , suggest me other thing . Dont just leave a comment that I dont know about that bike , please, need ur suggestion. coz I couldnt find any resources for this bike .
(I don't know about this motorcycle) Sorry.
Bosky why did u sell off ur interceptor?
Hi! I had the V-Strom 650 for big long rides and the Himalayan for the rough roads and the Interceptor was bang in between. It's a jack of all trades and an awesome single motorcycle garage. But it did not fit into my multiple motorcycle garage, hence sold it.
Cheers!
Powetronic ECU plus Fluel X pro, Changed suspension (which was it?). Could you kindly list the suspension changes?
Hello. YSS suspension.
What route is that you were riding on?
Location?
To Chikmagalur. Sometime ago, don't recall the route.
Sir is the tubeless conversion reliable
I've been using Outex for over 8 years and have found it reliable.
Where are you located, which city and do you modify , tune motorcycles
We don't modify.
We are primarily an Oil Change Center & a General Maintenance workshop. We carry out running repairs and basic maintenance on Royal Enfield and few other models. Regards.
can you tell me about your exhaust system please sir
Devil Evolution
can you share accessories you added for performance in your machine
Please watch Part 1 video of the Muddy Hog build. Thanks.
@@bigbearbangalore CAN YOU POST A LIST OF PARTS YOU ADDED , HERE IN COMMENT BOX
@@bigbearbangalore ALREADY GONE THROUGH IT
I can read English in lower case too you know 😉
And as per your request I shall also list them out in the comments. Thanks.
What happened to hog 650?
Sold. 🙂
Do u have a comparison with the X pulse?
Yes an older video is available ony UA-cam channel.
After reviewing this. Better to run for the new 450.
👍
Dear sir, can retrofitment of a carburettor be an alternative of powetronic & fuelx?
Can't say. May be, may not.
Hello sir. Since from sometime i feel lack of power and pickup on my himalayan 410 bs4. I have shown it in service but they said its fine. But low end torque is missing. In low speed feels like its trying to drag its own weigh3. What could be the possible reasons and cure. I havd changed the clutch plate in 2022. Changed the throttle cable and clutch cable as well. But the low end power is missing at lower rpm. Please help
Could be anything. Needs inspection to understand.
@@bigbearbangalore thanks for replying sur. But can you suggest what are most possible parts or reason. So i can tell the ss guys to check it.
Hi sir… could you share tyres brand and size of your bike
Front Maxxis, rear Avon
Share the suspension details
It's a YSS suspension and have mentioned the same in Part 1. Cheers!
Okay, How much it costs for all the mods..?
About 1.7 lakh
What is the name of handle var used here?
Renthal.
37 mileage.. are you kidding me 🫣
I am getting 28 on high speed rides (100 cruising )
No kidding. Cheers!
Mileage gets affected by throttle modulation as well and not just by speed.
What is the location you are riding in this video Sir?
Wayanad, Kerala.
Malayali
Can u share ur contact
If I want to do these types of mods, can you put up the priority list, I mean which one to go first. I have BS3 Himalayan, with BMC air filter and aftermarket exhaust. Planning to go for 18" rear rim first.
Hello. Being a carb version, then no electronics available. So guess only the aluminium wheels then. You already have the air filter and I assume you have a free flow end can. That's about it.
@@bigbearbangalore Suspension is on my list as, attimes I feel I am riding a boat. Bike waves very badly if I ride with Saddly bags.
Also which spokes you have used on the rear wheel (18" conversion)
Oh yes the YSS will help with handling when loaded.
My stomach past midnight, Evey night : 3:12
My dad every night: 3:08
Perhaps a doctor can help. Take care.
Fantastic ❤
🙏
What is the top speed of this modified vehicle?.
132 on the GPS & 145 on the meter
After spending 1.73 lakhs still u r not mentioning how fast it became in 0-60 or is there in any change in top speed. 😅😅😅😅
There is a part 2 video and a few Insta posts on its performance. When time permits please check them out. Thanks.
Mileage of 36.5 ? How
Why not?
Seriously strapped side stand....... hilarious
Plan B you see. There is more to it than just what I shared. When the front wheel is off say to fix a punchure and when on a jack, the strap is useful. Thanks.
@@bigbearbangalore i'e if you don't have a centre stand, your plan b works, great thought but for some imagination of mine found it hilarious 😆 good one daddy.... sorry boski 😎
😀 exactly. No Centre stand so need the strap when on jack. Thanks. Cheers!
Nice
Thanks.
Very cool
Thanks.
Can we install easy clutch in bs3 Himalayan?
Yes
What was the price of that aluminium rims and chain ?
Rims are about 25,000/- a set. I do not recall the RK chain cost.
Where u can buy??? Guru ji...
3:09 😂😂😂😂
😀
I love my stock himalayan. I don't care if it's heavy or slow. I love it. real men won't complain about his bike.
Great! Happy to hear. Best wishes.
@iambarnabas5480, But real men don't sound dumbo like you. 😂
Put ktm beside this guys they will start praising that bike... Then they will say many bad things about royal Enfield. And at the end of the day they will ride royal Enfield only🤣.
You could be quite right. Thanks for your valid observation. Cheers! 👍
Bbrrrkluklukmmm 😂
😁😁
The excel takasagos are only a few hundred grams lighter not 2.5 kgs as you claim.
Ok chief, as you say. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalorerather than anything goes or 'as I say'. I'd be happy to be proven wrong with facts or add the correction in your next video that you were wrong. That would be logical and reasonable.
It's allright buddy. Cheers!
