Siddharth lal absolutely nailed the team that they've got for RE now. From the engineers to media, everyone's absolutely elevated the brand to a another level.
@@bigbearbangaloreSir ,I recently took a Himalayan 411 cc .from the day 1 ride the engine of the bike gets heated up ,and gives a bad smell of heat flames . Does this has any solution?? The showrooms dealer said after 500kms driven ,and of 1st service it will sorted out...pls give me a correct note on it
@@Parveez-xg5di same problem faced with My KTM ... this May be due to Oil leak over engine or poor coolant supply....( Radiator fiction) for my bike they said it is due to Oil heated over engine ( though little bit but enough to produce smell and heat. Better wash your bike thoroughly and clean the engine with brush might help... otherwise wait for first service.
This is what I call a classy video. Brought back my engineering days memories. Bosky got none other than the Lead Engineer of the new 452cc engine. Anybody can talk about the bike's new looks and features. Bosky raised the bar and took the discussion to a much higher level. I love his technical bend of mind. Only a true rider/engineer would go to those details to know and love his machine. I say it again, this bike channel is world class level. I say this with full confidence with spending one-third my life in US working on cutting edge technology as an engineer. Hats off to Bosky Babu.
Wow never expect RE would openly discuss such in-depth technicality to the public. Thanks for sharing, this will make the true enthusiast to appreciate their bike even further.
I really appreciate the efforts in making these videos. As someone who studied automobile engineering watching these videos makes me feel like I’m back in the classroom again!
i think this is tje first time ever in a youtube Chanel, describes the whole engineering by it's own designer..... That is the right way to tell something perfectly about something by its creator.... thanks for the video
Yep, if you watch a video from Triumph by comparison everything is super dumbed down. Hearing the engineer talk through the benefits of a dry sump for example highlights so many elements in engine design a common consumer wouldn't even think about - I wouldn't and I have an engineering degree!
As an engineer myself and a bike ethusiast i find this video very helpful rather than jus reading the specsheet which most others do which we could easily find online. Also it was almost in layman terms so many could understand better. I look forward for much detailed videos in future too and thanks for putting the efforts and making such wonderful video
Using offset rear shocks and moving the battery and the air box seems to have created a narrower profile for the rider seat. The torque curve also seems really interesting. Would really love to ride this and see for myself. I would love to see a reduced NVH level for the engine.
A good example , Engineers should be given the lime light to show how much efforts they have put into the product they design. Engineers like Ben will inspire the next generation of engineers. Appreciate the content and welcome more of it.
Oh my god, this looks like the Goldilocks ADV that none of the other manufacturers would dare to make! Well done team and well presented, looking forward to a test ride soon
I can say happily that this engine is wonderfully designed and by some of the best in the world. Thank you for giving us the honour to get to hear from the very designers of the engine! This alone speaks volumes about the level of trust and endeavour RE have put into the machine. I am only waiting for the launch. I am getting this bike!😊
Wow the engine technology like dlc coating , semi dry sump and forged pistons are crazy. It feels like i am watch a video about some japanese or ktm engine. Btw Great video sir.
I am impressed with the new technology that is on the bike. It seems that the Himalayan has been completely updated from the ground up. I loved the fact that the lead engine engineer explained things. Very informative video.
Very interesting. I ride a Royal Enfield 411 Himalayan from 2021 and I like it, but also Royal Enfield with its mix of British and Indian engineers and the improved production in India. Thanks for this video. Sven from Sweden
Really really appreciate your efforts and thought of making this video. This gave us lot of knowledge and insight. The questions you asked were spot on. Gave more knowledge. Your USP of providing knowledge and helping the biking community. Spot on!
Sorry I am just digging into your videos on the Himalayan 450, but I must thank you for your deep dive into the technical details of RE's design decisions. With each video I watch in the series the more I am settled on this as my next middle-weight adventure tourer. I know I have more to watch but, so far, the folks at RE really seem to have thought this thing through enough for me to take the risk on a gen1 purchase.
Great to know about the Engine directly from the Lead. Thank you Bosky for bringing this up for us. As an enthusiast it is great to know about this engine which is now as per the industry standards. Few things I liked about the engine is: 1. It has good torque in even low range, so gear shift is not much or a concern as well as the engine stalling. 2. This is using direct action camshafts, so no frequent tappet adjustment, only once in 10K kms. 3. Cruising should be stressful now and overtaking in 5th gear should be more fun and confident.
Of all the contents on Himalayan, the contents that u have been putting out is absolute gold 👍👍👍👍👍 can't wait for the big 'Hello' on 10th I guess ??!!?
Wow... I am sooooo glad you asked the right questions... something that most "reviewers" often forget... Idk.. I really wanted to know the svc intervals.. and most importantly the valve clearance checks... 10k seems like a reasonable number... This is the kind of content I pay my internet bill for 😁🤙
Thank you for such a detailed video. Himalayan 411 was a market changer and now it looks like Himalayan 450 is also going to be another market changer.
I like the way the designer of the engine is explaining on the different improvements. The alternator is spot on for ADV riding, when adding heated grips and clothing.
As an Automotive Engineer I am impressed.... Royal Enfield has truly done a great job...... They have learnt from the past and they have also learnt from other manufacturer as well..... Like they have added a metallic turbine on the coolant pump that means sealed bearings which are more durable than seals.... So no coolant mixing with oil issue.... This engine will be slightly more durable
This video is so awesome. So much knowledge i gather today and also glad to know that himalayan is improving day by day. Sir i respect you for your work and i wish that you will share this type of knowledge in future also. Lots of love from Kolkata.....❤❤❤
A very detailed explanation of the engine by the creator of the engine. I don't think anybody has done that. Excellent.👍his would make me buy this motorbike. Good for city as well as touring.
Ah!! there he comes with the heart.. Awesome info Dr bossky!! Kudos🎉 to RE research and development team,, they knew what they were building!! It will break the markets for sure....
Love listening to the design engineering behind this Sherpa engine. Thanks Ben for such a great presentation. I'm excited for this engine...would love to see it in a really good scrambler.
Initially sceptical about the video length but totally loved the details provided in the video. Thanks for bringing such detailed video on the engine directly from the lead designer. ❤😊
Thank you for the wonderful video. Though I'm riding RE since 1991 and at present I do have 2021 Himalayan and GS 310 2022 but I'm desperately waiting for this 452 and have already put my booking and now waiting for black and gold colour. Big thumbs up to the new RE team for this wonderful machine...
Excellent video, many thanks for putting out a very technical content. Not surprising that RE has brought down the oil grade from 15w50 to 10w40 owing to valve train changes. Hope the owners keep this in mind instead of going overboard 😊.
I’m not sure the grade has changed as much as the viscosity. Tighter clearances require a less viscous oil. Is RE recommending or requiring full synthetic?
Very good information. Started following this channel not so long ago but maaaaannnnn in love with all the info that you give. Even the reels are great.
This is 100x better than what channels like power drift put out. Nothing like older folks talking bikes! Meanwhile, 418 W stator sounds really good! Any estimate of how much is surplus?
In contrast to other reviewers, we got to know more about the practical and technical aspect of the bike without even showing the bike (for the most part) in this video. Good Work ! 👍👍
Wow. . . The deep technical conversation was superb♥️💥 Great job dear🥰😇 Loved it ♥️. Air filter change is going to be a task but then change interval is every 10k kms and very beneficial. Just want to experience that Intake sound as Ben mentioned multiple times. And having a dry sump has two oil pumps so will is increase the service cost by any means? And he mentioned 10W40 Semi-Synthetic oil to be used, so can we use fully synthetic? Lot of questions rising but what an engine build by RE. Great team effort and made in house with no JV with any international manufacturers like the competition♥️💥
Big news on the valve check interval, it's now much closer to what you'd expect from a Japanese bike. I would perhaps have asked what efforts have been made with regards to ease of access to the air filter. In the 411 you just needed to pop off the side panel, with the 450 potentially having to remove the tank is a more significant undertaking, if Enfield has integrated some kind of "lifted tank" position that a lot of Hondas have for example that would be great.
One of the finest informative videos out there. I just love your work sir on instagram a lot. Short but perfectly informative things. The best video for me was how to check if the rear ABS is working or not. Keep making good videos sir.
Fabulous video, such interesting angles and insight into the creative thought and action of Royal Enfield,I owned the original bike and loved it, a true original no other like it. This new bike is very exciting and I'm so lucky to have ordered one. Having the insight from this video only makes it more appealing. Thankyou very much.
This shows what an experienced rider/technician's content would be, great work sir. Unlike newbies who doesn't even know what tyre pressure should be for their own bikes but will review and perform top speed runs abuse test bikes, sadly that group out runs the original content creators... Love the efforts please enlighten us always 😊 ofcourse now we can buy re stocks too😅
Sir, really enjoying these series of informative videos. Sometime back you had made a Wishlist video on this bike. Would like to see a video where you discuss how many of your wishes came true. Also any news on the Scram version of this machine for lesser mortals like me.
So my friend has a Speed 400 its very fun to ride pocket rocket, one thing i wish it had was low end torque and looking at the graph i am really excited for this vehicle and upcoming RE vehicles with Sherpa 450 engines. This engine and gearbox ticks all the boxes hopefully I'll be able to buy one in the future..... thanks for the video for geeks like me 🥂
i understand now why you didn't speak about the engine with Lorenzo in your previous video. It is a completely different engine from 411. the torque is amazingly improved. can't wait to test it.
I really love my 2021 411LS, and was not interested in the 452. But after seeing that it has all the things I love about mine and fixed all the things that I hate. I can't wait to try one and I am thinking seriously of selling mine to a friend who has been wanting to buy it, and getting the new black and gold version. As an experienced rider, this new Himmy checks off all the boxes for me and it looks like Royal Enfield hit another home run on the new Himalayan. I can foresee Royal Enfield dominating the motorcycle market with beautiful, well priced and well engineered bikes. I just hope they try to make sure they only use quality parts, which has not always been the case in the past.
I have 2 questions what is the sump guard mounted to ? & the slip & assist clutch with only 3 springs that does not normally last very long as i have found that to be the case on Honda crf300l with the same type of clutch ? had to change mine for a 250 clutch basket with 5 springs & better plates ? other than that it looks great & in black & yellow with gold rims, Many thanks Wayne UK..........
I would really appreciate if you can ask the RE people, how are they going to manage the service of the new Himalayan. From 2017- 2023 is 6years in development of the new engine, but if they don't know how to service this bike to the correct point then it will be the customers who will suffer. RE has ticked all the boxes except the service center which is horrible to the point where at least 8 out of 10 customers suffer. I think they should revisit their service team and make sure they give the customer what they need. I know it is tough to handle service with such a huge network but why don't they differentiate with some specially trained technicians in at least one of their service centers in each city which will make a huge difference. hope you see this comment and reply ?
Oook. Sorry to hear. And it's better that you ask? I say this because you seem to have had bad experiences so you have the basis and the right to raise this question. I haven't had any great issues with my ownership bar a few minor ones that were attended to. Regards.
@@bigbearbangalore thanks for your reply, yes even u don't have major issues with my bikes, might be we both are at the 2 people out of 10. Being yourself owning a garage you might have heard from the customers of RE who have complained on the service issues. The point I am trying to make is even those minor issues that we get are not able to rectify from the RE service engineers. Even I am small youtubers and who owns the RE CLASSIC REBORN AND most of my subscribers still complain on their service. If they take 6years to develop a engine but to my knowledge they just educate or give training to theor engineers hardly weeks or months. Since most of the RU-vidrs are afraid to ask such hard questions to RE or any brand and seeing your video you are not one of them. I would appreciate if you can ask them how are they going to manage. Just ask them how long have they provided training to their engineers on this new himalayan and in what scenarios. You might be surprised with their answers. Thanks again for your reply.
Engine mechanical/tappet sound - Addressed, NVH - Addressed, Weight management - Addressed, Heating issue- Addressed, Triple digit Highway cruising - Addressed, Heavy clutch - Addressed !! Seems like most of the gripes of the current bike have been addressed !! Kudos to RE 👏
Thanks Bosky for this video❤ Brilliant idea to keep the intake far up, help in water wading. As you asked Ben if there are any changes in existing service and maintenance, please clarify if we can install performance air intake.
It will be really great if you could talk about rally kit, which has arrow* exhaust system. Is there any different setup made for rally edition since the have for a shorter exhaust to balance the weight.
Don't know. Too early to say anything. It's only after launch will the after-market brands can take measurements and check airflow and then make an air-filter.
