Hello dear biker,
Himalayan develops ability to go anywhere Machine in India, however as compared to Hero Impulse Known as(Honda Bross) in world exports has agile and flexible handling while Himalayan has low compression Engine problematic at very High Altitude cold weather - 30 degree celiciuos temprature,
Let’s Start this Topic - 1 Kick Start is Missing in Himalayan when amps goes low in -35 degree celceius temperature @ Kaza Winters December Ride in the Morning Kick Start Bike is miracle. I warm up my engine fins with fire to start compression at high altitude at Kaza in Feb 2016.
2 Engine is not direct Electrical Ignition, so it needs fully charged battery to start. When you leave motorcycle in low temperature below -20 Battery AMPS GOES DOWN, Huge Problem when you are alone away from city, Opposite to this Hero Impulse start without the Battery only with kick start and direct ignition coil current.
3 Himalayan is not so popular in Leh Ladakh Commuter Bike daily bases, 1.6 Lakh Is not to Offroad Adventure to beat up this machine for fun in India. I saw only 2 Himalayan after Leh crossing, however in MAnasultanli there were more.
- Sounds LIKE FURRRRRR FURRRRRRR FURRRRRR when passes by me hahaha
My MESSAGE to RE, I love to work with Eicher Motors to learn and make this improvement to this machine becomes more heart welcoming for Adventure Lovers in India, Peace!
