    Battery replacement on Himalayan: Would YTZ14-12S 12V 11Ah work?

    Hi to all, I bought YTZ14-12S 12V 11Ah battery for my Honda NC700X DCT couple years ago. I thought the original battery "completely" died but it was just in "coma" and after a bit longer charging it was good battery again, no issues last couple years. Although, I tried to bring from dead the...

    219 Himalayan side stand to long

    I have an issue with the side stand on my 2019 Himalayan. It's too long, and I always have a feeling it's going to lean too far to the right. Until several months ago, it was slightly better, but now it only works when the ground is 100% flat and level. If I'm parking somewhere outside, on a...

    C span wrench

    Probably stupid question: is there specific C span wrench for RE/Himalayan OEM shocks or "any" will do the job? I have to adjust the shock absorber on my 2013 Himalayan but don't have one. Thanks for any help.

    How high can I rise the handlebar of my 2019 Himalayan before I have issues with the cables and the wires? Are Rox Risers 2" to much?

    My rear break got stuck!

    I put new tires on my Hilmo, I removed the wheels and took the wheels to the local shop. Than put them on the bike. I wanted to test ride it, and the moment I touched the rear break, just a minute later, on the very first intersection, I used my rear break and it got stuck, seized. Couldn't move...

    I'm giving up on my Hilmo!

    The idea started to simmer in my head last night for first time. Today, the same idea almost reached the point of boiling. The idea is to give up on my Hilmo (2019 RE Himalayan). NOT because the bike is bad. No, the bike is great. I love it. Already made almost 5K miles. Enjoyed RevZilla's Get...

    As a matter of fact it was the first ever visit to an OHV Park 😉I had a blast. Already bought the set of knobbies (Shinko 804/805) for my 2019 Himalayan, aka Hilmo. Thanks.

    Going tubeless on Himalayan?

    Repairing tubed vs tubeless tires; just plugging instead of taking a wheel off (especially rear one), removing the tire, patching or replacing... it's huge difference, time consuming, tec. But, is it worth switching tubed to tubeless tires on Himalayan? There must be some downsides? Is it safe...

    I dropped my Himalayan and twisted the handlebar...

    Hi, I was off-roading a bit couple weeks ago, and right after I crossed the creek I hit the mud from previous riders and I dropped my Himalayan. Just a couple mph. But I successfully twisted/bent the handlebar. Nothing bad, it's fixable (I think) but I was thinking... I dropped all my bikes in...

    Parts map, catalog, niche... - whatever's called, is there any for Himalayans?

    I use the website Partzilla, and their parts catalog for my 2013 Honda NC700X DCT. So easy to find the part and/or the name and/or part number... Is there something like that for Himalayans? Thanks, Afan

    Problem with rear tire sizes (for knobbies)

    Hi to all! I plan to buy knobbies for my Himalayan, and, so far, I have two brands in my mind. Shinko E-804 (front) & 805 (rear) combination. The front tire is the exact size, but they don't have a rear one in 120/90-17 size. They have 130/80-17 and I think it should be ok, but need the...

    Hi to all! Yesterday I brought home 2019 Himalayan. Previous owner bought it for his wife, even installed lowering links. Didn't work as planned - lucky me :D So...
