    Givi Bars Earned Their Money Today

    As the title says, the Givi crash bars took a huge knock out on the trails today. A football sized rock stopped the bike dead. Had the bars not been there the engine casing would have been damaged. I have attached a photo but you cannot see how much of a dent is in the bar. It is...

    Front Sprocket Nut

    Morning all, I've been searching through the service guide to find the size and torque setting of the front sprocket nut but it is not listed. A quick search on the forum didn't yield any results either. Does anyone know what these numbers are? Regards RobC

    Sprocket & Revs

    Good afternoon everyone. My GS is broken so I might have to ride the Himalayan 1,000 miles to the Pyrenees instead. Unfortunately that means a lot of motorway/dual carriageway riding. Since my current chain is due for replacement I have the option to change the gearing at the same time. With...

    Warranty Claims UK

    Good afternoon everyone. This may not be the latest news but I have just found out and I don't remember reading this here before. Royal Enfield UK are now dealing with warranty claims directly. MotoGB, in this respect, are no more. We have some hope for an improvement in service. Regards RobC

    Packed up and ready to go.

    The Lands End Trial beckons. 24 hours of all roads and no roads. I've never done anything like this before. Off road sections at night are an extra challenge. Perhaps especially so as I've never ridden the Himalayan in the dark yet 🥺 I'll try and get some picture and, if I don't kill...

    Preload Adjustment - What's the Knack?

    Today I was looking at the rear shock preload adjustment. I have a C spanner that fits nicely but there is no room to use it from either side of the bike. Either the exhaust or suspension links get in the way. It looks as though the rear wheel needs to be removed. Is that the case or am I...

    Relays Again

    Hi folks, I've just had to replace the 3rd of the 5 relays on the bike. This time it was the one that is connected to the starter button. The issue started last week when the engine wouldn't turn over 9 times out of 10. Very annoying when on the trails in the middle of nowhere. I thought...

    DIY Tool Tube

    Evening, Being a tight fisted old Scrooge I decided to see if I could build my own tool tube using cheap and easily available parts. The tube, base, screw top and brackets were sourced from my local Toolstation. No cutting, gluing or other modifications were required. I did have to make an...

    Adjustable Gear Lever

    Morning all, Can anyone point me to an adjustable gear lever for my Himalayan? The stock one is just fine when in the road and I'm wearing my road boots. However it is impossible to fit the toe of my off road boot under the lever. It doesn't look like the lever acts directly on the gearbox...

    New Himalayan Owner - Dorset

    Morning all, I'm picking up my 21 Himalayan on Saturday from Moto Corsa. The plan is to use it to learn how to ride off road before I get too much older. I tried years ago but my 1150GS is too heavy and too high geared. Givi crash bars and Barkbusters will be fitted once I get it home -...
