The Truth About Performance Mods on the Himalayan: Worth the Hype? | FuelX BMC PoweRage NGK Iridium 

Lovely lovely vid Abhishek. Thanks for your honest feedback. Ride hard, ride safe!

This is the best video I've ever seen about Himalayan 411. Thanks for the info Abhishek❤. You got a new subscriber today !!

Thanks bro 🙏 you saved me from the fomo. Now I will not think about it for a long time with my scram 411.

Great points bro! I did most of these mods on my Hunter 350 and honestly, these are not MUST HAVE mods per se. These are NICE TO HAVE mods, especially the Fuelx Pro and aftermarket exhaust. I love riding my bike on setting 7 of Fuelx pro and the exhaust note is satisfactory to hear.

What a wonderfull content.... Really covered all the aspects on this topic i wanted..... Really appreciate ur efforts AD ..... Wishing more kms of fun and endeavours ✨✨

A true guide. Love the way explained. Looking forward to learn more.

To be honest, after 3 years, and I got all the mods with the fuel x pro. Bike is much quicker and I am getting much better throttle response and like you mentioned cruising experience got very smooth. This is my experience after using it for 5000+ kms. Worth or not, cant say but definitely useful

very nicely explained, clean to the point video, subscribed!

Thanks bro for clear the confusion 👍

Thank you bro for this video, was in much need for these explaination. Thank you.

You're a kind heart 👍🏼

I have all mods from last two years on my bs4

Very informative video.... True and straight forward.... Thank you very much....

Good review. Throughout the video, I felt you hearted out all you got to say. Good job dude!

Very honest review. Thank you for your time and opinion ❤

A very detailed analysis my man! Personally even I have a Himalayan and I I make content and I get asked a lot of why have I not put any performance mods on the bike! And what you said aligns exactly with my research it's a lot of money to put in where as if you change some of the small small things it makes a lot of difference! Good content mate keep it up, subscriber earned!

Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏

Good and Honest review Daniel. We have to take the Himy for what we first chose it for. It is a classic and smooth long stroke engine (unlike the new version of it). Take care. T from France.

Falling for your honest reviews... Please keep it this way bro. New subscriber here from Nagaland.

Great video brother. Nicely explained. I'm currently at about 40k kms in under 2 years. Have been itching on getting more performance out of this engine. Your video surely helped.

Man Abhishek, really like your honest response towards the mods you did, most of the other videos seems to be going behind the performance improvement even though there is no such drastic improvement on the performance, these mods seem to be more about the refinement and smoothness.

Great Insights! Plase share your experience with the latest mods like TEC cam and alumiium rims

Absolutely agree with you.. too many people don't even know how to enjoy the bike.. techniques to use in off road. First learn to ride and enjoy.. then look at mods..

really nice video

Nice info bro ...I too installed powerrage and Bmc and found there is no performance improvement , thought of adding fuelx but after seeing your video am not going to spend money on those 😂😅....thanks for the info

thks bro

Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts...geta used 390 adv ;)

Thank you for the review, much needed, Very informative, after your Video I am planning to go for the Fuel X Lite to make the engine a bit more smoother and remove knocking on lower rpms, later on get the NGage Air Filter if possible and see how it does. And would definitely not make a mistake to purchase all the mods at once and expect a miracle/ completely new bike. Thank you so much for clearly mentioning everything. :)

Well said. Good content. I have the BMC airfilter fit and red rooster performace exhaust as well. I am thinking of getting the NGK sparkplug and fuel x lite? But yes all this was expensive and fuel x lite and sparkplugs are another 6k and 2-3k each. Would the airfilter and exhaust be enough or atleast fuel x should I add to this? Please let me know. And I 100% agree so far just the ride gets better. No performance increase except low end torque is good and the speed range has increased for each gear change when compared to stock

I would say you need the next stage with a Tec cam to help it breathe. A lot of people judge the himalayan on 1-60 times and cruising at hyway Speed's but it excels in the 2.5 to 4.0 rpm for torque and comes into its own on trails. I think you will find the bike has improved when riden in these environments.

I saw a himalayan with all this performance mods installed (fuel x pro, powerage exhaust, ngk spark, k&n air filter, reise tyres-- more of proc spec accessories)which is currently 9 month old one and ran around 30k kms in ODO.. Is it a worth buying option as second handed? If yes what would be price range i may look for.. Pls suggest.. Also one thing is to check how long kms does this Performnace mods will help for Himalayan?

👍

1:42 the guy in white T-shirt is me... Who also installed all these mods... But i had my Devil Evolution and BMC installed a bit earlier than FuelX, Powertronics, NGK kit, Rolon Kit

I think powertronics piggyback ecu will add performance to bike rather than fuelx . Fuelx is majorly to correct the afr ratio of bike . Powertronics is much bigger game i believe in which you can control every single thing. Also, if you have any dyno test centre nearby or ecu remapping experts powertronics ecu is better option. I own r15v4m nd i have installed bmc airfilter nd aftermarket exhaust , so now to correct the afr ratio im planning to buy fuelx . Cant go for powertronics ecu bcoz i have no dyno centres or ecu remapping experts here in Punjab .

Which is best xpulse 4v or Himalayan By the good explanation sir❤👍

After how many km or period of time you change the bmc air filter? or do you just clean it?

Great video! I had a fomo now there’s none😂

Hello sir…first of I would like to thoroughly appreciate your views..well actually very very honest views on this issue..I too am completely in line with your thoughts..I won’t be the one to tell you to install powertronics to make your bike feel like a jet…himalyan the way it is I feel is perfect and yes mods make it better but one cannot expect superior enhancement. However I would like to add on couple more points to your “performance” regard….so I have done all the mods that you’d made to your bike under 10k kms because by 2-5k kms I was literlaly craving for more power ..by power I don’t mean top gear top speed power but rather a good pace if I say where I can just sit and enjoy…however himalyan being himalyan wasn’t like that…so I had made the mods that you’ve covered in this video first and then again the same response no significant change…then I went ahead and made a small change , however it had the most significant diffence out of all the 20k worth mods.. that was adding a sprocket 16t one in front …made hell of a difference and felt like a gem …next I took inspiration from on two wheels Ben and installed aluminium rims and to my astonishment it was bloody amazing …simply amazing!!..and then came the powertronics which just was an icing on the cake….now I’m going for the ultimate ones and prolly retune the ecu on the dump for optimal performance, that is adding a high life cam , a set of bigger valves and getting a big bore kit with bigger FI..let’s see how it feels!!…so coming to the point …it’s not the mods that the ppl or the media wants you to do because they’ll always be biased at least to an extent…and yeah money is a huge huge factor for all of us regardless…but when it comes to modding the bike it all takes some through research more than common belives of ppl on a so called “performance product”.. but it all depends on the type of performance enhancement you want…it’s not always about a bump of 10kph at the max throttle …sometimes it’s the comfort at city traffic or the smoothness at 100kph on the highways..that’s what I’ve learnt ..that’s my take on performance mods…you got to make the bike do what you want to do and that’s why you should do your part of the research is areas to buying what ppl tell…because everyone has different style and the way they like to feel their motorcycle.

have you tried cat delete with your himalayan ? I guess a free flow downpipe would enhance the performance since you have everything else. Coz even if your BMC is taking in alot of air the cat convertor would be putting up some sort of resistance right ?!

Can I change my exhaust to red rooster or powerrage without modifying the ecu? Will it damage the engine?

I have fixed a full system exhaust and changed air filter for my himalayan should i remap the ecu or else i can ride to normally so that it doesn't effect my engine life??

One thing to consider, when considering intake and exhaust mods, are "pumping losses". Indeed, changing the Map takes it to the next level but intake and exhaust changes don't fully rely on this. For the negative pressure in the cylinder to pull air throught the intake, it fights restrictions. This causes a loss in efficiency, prior to the power stroke. The same holds true for the exhaust stroke. The piston has to force the escaping gasses out and this creates a loss of efficiency. "Pumping losses" take away from the power that has been generated by the power stroke. It's like having a pro bicycle racer pedaling hard with the brakes on.

hello bro ,today i saw u in royal enfield showroom ,u came with ur bike .....i saw u ...yayyyyyy

I wanted something to solve the stalling issue let me try that NKG plug.

And yeah i just completed 1500km only.. Bas stalling is the only issue what im facing… I just want to fix that thing only..

Best setup for a Himalayan is to get the big bore kit 471cc/500cc.... Best value for money... For the EFI model you need powertronic... Carb bike needs only rejet... Easy 26 bhp to the wheel... Edit: even the camshaft is a really good mod around 22 bhp to the wheel

👍🏻🔱

I installed the FuelX pro on my 2021 Himalayan because I got tired of the constant stalling at idle. I finally found that if I set it at 1, which is the most lean setting, I get no more exhaust fuel smell and no more popping and stalling at idle. So from a performance perspective, the Fuel X pro was worth every penny. I am able to control the fuel mixture and finally have a bike I can enjoy. But if you are looking for higher performance on the highway I would suggest just saving your time and money and upgrade to the Himalayan 452,

Get powertronic and try dyno tuning then im sure you'll feel a better difference !!

Install tec camshaft the difference is noticeable

Bro just saved 25 k for most of the himalayan users including me😂😂....thanks bro 🤝

Performance mods?.. Mods that reduce weight. 👍😉

Are NGK iridium plugs really worth bro...

You deserve many likes but I can give you only one

My Himalayan goes 140 i have used only fuelx pro and maintain as much as new

I did all these mods plus a powertronics Try the powertronics

Modification is like a drug 😂 you can never come out of it, once your into it. - Rohith ( suffering from modificatiophobia)

Installed fuel x lite on my Himalayan -- no change in any aspect

It is infuriating that they are fully scrapping Himalayan 411 and that they are renaming Himalayan 450 as Himalayan. Its like they are erasing the history of Himalayan 411. The 411 engine is simplicity in itself. And for a bike enthusiast, who customises the bike to personalise, these kind of upgrades makes a better emotional connection to the bike. Third, 411 is easy to maintain as the engine is simple in construction comparitively and easier to maintain. Edit : adding a performance cam should improve the power a lot. I think sns has it.

Sell your old himalyan and buy a new himalyan 452, you will not require any mods 😂😂
