Re: Honda 450L

I'm in the 'don't get it' camp either. Maybe if we'd received the full power version and maybe if the price had began with a 7 or 8 and not a 9 then it would make good sense. I guess in a way it's a very clever pricing strategy as it's got the bike a lot of attention as well as the mystique of being...

Re: The Royal Enfield Himalayan ,great value.

Seem to have condensation in my instrument binnacle, anyone else ... suggested quick fix .. or warranty claim ? Common fault and an easy fix. There are a couple of tutorials floating around on how to sort it - screen off and tape up the wiring port into the clocks, or something like that. It's been...

Re: Royal Enfield 650

I personally don't think there's going to be one. Maybe a 650 scrambler but not a 650 Himalayan. Keen to try a Continental.

Re: The Royal Enfield Himalayan ,great value.

Yes plan to do all that over the hols, Nathan. Enjoyed your frank reviews. Will set aside a weekend to lower myself into the advrider thread. Will watch the gasket too. I take it it aint just loose headbolts? First owner was a fan of yours and has done the first 1000 miles for me. Feels very smooth...

Re: The Royal Enfield Himalayan ,great value.

Welcome to the club Mr Scott. The UK Facebook owners group has some bits and bobs on it, as does the advrider.com thread. Pre-emptive greasing of the steering head bearings seems a sensible way to go. Mine's in for a re-grease and a new head gasket which seems to have blighted a few UK bikes. Not th...

Re: Mash 400 Adventure

Hi, my Himalayan has now done 3000 mainly road miles and it’s been great. Apart from the 500 mile service I have adjusted the chain once (I have a PD oiler) and checked the tyres pressures. I’ve only done a couple of fairly easy green lanes on it and it seemed fine. Not as good handling wise as my ...

Re: Mash 400 Adventure

I was only joking about the CRF by the way. Could be a good option if you can get around your need for hard luggage. I believe Ben has hard luggage on his. Another option could be Versys 300. Some good deals on them at the minute. They'd be ok on the trails. But really you just need to go out and ge...

Re: Mash 400 Adventure

I thought my commission check from RE was a bit low this month. I must try harder to get people to commit to the mighty Himalayan. Not ridden a Mash Adventurer. I know a few on here have them and seem to like them. It's a shame you're not a bit sooner and could have picked up a couple when they were...
