9 Months Usage Review

9 Months Usage Review

I have been using BS4 Himalayan since oct 2018. The bike is pretty comfortable in fewer traffic areas. You can easily cross others and go. Handling wise I didn't find any issue good enough to control, I feel no vibrations even@110kmph. After 2nd service, I feel the smooth drive.
pros:
pick up ,drive comfort ,pillion seat comfort, fuel indicator, trip F.
I have been on an 800 km trip on the high way and I felt totally comfortable.
Cons:
Not suggested in traffic. Due to more clutch usage, the engine gets heated till 56degrees which makes you feel the heat at break and gear. If you commute more in traffic, even the tank gets heated.
tubeless tyres .-> when you go on a tour or trek if at any chance your tyre is puntured, its a game over. Due to the new abs, most local technicians are not aware of tyre removal. So you need to get your tyre fixed like a cycle. Carry a spare tube set when you go on a long tour.
ABS could have a switch option because you will face a problem while in hill regions because of ABS. Else it's fine.
Accessories: other handguards cannot be fitted because they obstruct the wiser. Knee guards also not available in the aftermarket .
Due to mat finish if you carry something in the tank it may leave scratches. Please put a guard. Tanks covers cannot be attached directly as it takes away the look .other bags /carriages not available.
