It seems like a lot of Himalayan 450 owners are facing this issue. And in this video I have explained the exact reason why this is happening. It has a serious design flaw. Watch the video and you can fix this issue by yourself at home. I will try to find a permanent solution for this and will share the updates, please subscribe to stay tuned.
Same thing happened to me when I rode through rain and I used air gun to blow off the air and it worked no need to remove the console and when I made this as a complaint to the service station those idiots told me to make a video next time and show them for any replacement or service to be done 😤😤😤
Looks like they don't want to invest time in diagnosis and finding the root cause of the issue they only look for easy jobs like regular servings. I can't understand why it is so difficult for them to accept the issue. At least in my case put efforts to make the video and check with RE after a long discussion and 2 days of visit also I got a call after 3-4 days asking if it was working and updated me on the part order. However I am not interested in changing the original part so I asked them to cancel it for now.
Hey bro.. there is no issue with water getting in the joystick/switch module.. the main issue is where the joystick connectors are placed, which is under the tank but water can get there from the front. In my case water entered during a ride so it got electric supply as well and connectors corroded and it stopped working. So I would suggest: 1. Do not spray water from the front of the bike especially with a pressure gun. 2. Do not switch on the bike immediately after washing. Let it dry, if possible use a blower. And In general we should not use a lot of pressure for a bike. Use the widest spray possible in your pressure gun.
hi from the uk, how would I remove the throttle tube on the other side. I have after market heated grips installed but I want to adjust/remove them as the wire out of the grips is in the wrong place. Do I just remove the bar end, split the case and the throttle tube should slide off the bar or is the loom going to make it trickier?
Hey mate! I would suggest not attempting to open/remove throttle assembly. It is ride by wire and it may be damaged during the disassembly process, and the unit is costly. And regarding the heated grips, I guess they are simply slipped over the throttle tube and glued in place. So adjustments are not possible. And removing a heated grips is a destructive process, you wouldn't be able to re-use those. However if you still want to attempt to remove throttle assembly, dm me on Instagram, I can share the service manual for Himalayan 450 there you can find the detailed instructions.
@@OnceARider Thankyou very much for the speedy response - good points - I will try remove the grip with throttle tube in place/without opening up the throttle handlebar assembly. Was hoping I could loosen the super-glue but sounds a slim prospect. All the best mate!
