P W · Accepted Answer

Purchased it on 7th feb from amba motors in vadodara and rpm was set very high when delivered and engine stopping frequently when clutch applied during downshifting. Took it to the service center of dealer and the mechanic saw that rpm showing on instrument cluster was around 1200 but in his diagnostic tool it indicated around 1800 at idle. He changed it to actual 1200 (fluctuates a bit) and it solved the engine stopping problem 80% but still stops sometimes randomly. 1st service was due after few days so told him about the same and mechanic suggested to wait and the problem should iron out by itself and in my 2 interactions with him (name maharaj) he sounded like someone who knows what he is saying and doing so I trusted him and took it back. He suggested that the bs6 engine requires to apply the choke in the morning after starting and leave it in idle for few seconds before riding which I followed and I would say the stopping problem is 90-95% resolved but not happy since it is risky as the YouTube guy says. Clocked 1000kms now but hoping to wait another month to see if it completely goes away or not before going to service station to adjust rpm further which I believe is behind the engine stopping issue Apart from that, heating issue even in feb so one can imagine what will happen in may. Even with the oil cooler shit it heats more than my Thunderbird twinspark even in short distancesThird thing is a tick tick sound after stopping which I have also come across in newer generation scooters that have a highly refined engine unlike RE so I wouldn't bother about it. That sound goes away after a minute of stoppingIn terms of riding, its good otherwise but I get a feeling that bs4 was better than bs6

Got delivery of my new Himalayan bs6 variant recently and later noticed that the rear wheel was completely displaced towards left. It is hampering the balance of the bike and is also makes the bike look ugly. Rpm fluctuates a lot and engine stops occasionally while riding. Engine heats quickly. I hope this problem goes away after servicing. Few nuts are also missing, only bolts are placed. Did not expect manufacturing negligence from RE team, or may be I was unlucky to get a defective product.

कोई खास शिकायत तो नही है,टॉर्क तो पर्याप्‍त है लेकिन कभी कभी पावर की कमी महसूस होती है।यदि इसमे लिक्विड कूलिंग सिस्‍टम मिल जाये तो इससे इसमे चार चांद लग जायेंगें।

Kranthi Kumar · Answer

I have bought this vehicle is February 27th 2020 with lot of excitement and enthusiasm. But it has been 20 months now and the vehicle has mileage of 1762km only.That is because of the main reasons ,1. The vehicle gets off almost every minute when I wanted to shift the gear or hold the clutch .This problem has caused me lot of tensions in traffic roads.2. The Vehicle battery discharges randomly even on regular usage.we cannot know when the battery discharges in middle of our work.I wanted to sell of the vehicle to someone but I don't want to disappoint them with these huge problems with vehicle.So I request you to people to take back my Himalayan BS VI and pay me whatever reasonable price you can do.

Hi Siva , i am experiencing the same issue with my Himalayan its been 20 days i am riding it and have completed 400 kms however sometimes RPM went too low on his own and shuts off the engine even when you are in down gears. Also , once when it did the same and was not starting i tried opening the fuel tank lid and it started once some air passed through the tank. It seems it has some issue with air ventilation too with the fuel tank. Will highlight this while servicing too. let me know once your problem get fixed.

I bought the himalayn on April 2021, I am facing the stalling issue most of the times. I have reached the service centre about 5 times on same issue, they are unable to fix it. Today I dropped my bike at service on service centre on same issue. Let's hope for this time they fix the issue. NOT ONLY ME MANY HIMALAYNA BS6 OWNERS ARE FACING THE SAME ISSUE ON MY CIRCLE. I don't know RE what is doing on this issue. I have raised the complaint many times.

Allwin Vijay · Answer

Took delivery on November 1st 2021/ 10K kms covered. My experience with Himalayan bs6 2021 model. Only mentioning issues here. Rusting on bolts, T stem issues frequently, fasteners falling while riding, head light not enough for night ride, engine heats up only inside city not on long rides, rear shock absorber sound & service( not giving much importance for issues) . These or only issues so don't judge.
