Automotive designer here. I have only 2 points. 1) People use aftermarket crash guards on almost all brand bikes, why the issue only with RE? 2) If chassis is weak at one point, why wasn't it reinforced or welded with a backup (redundancy) member at the place? This points to a QC failure. In the end, this flaw can cause serious accidents and whatever may be the cause of it, the user confidence is definitely shattered and it's hard to come back from it unless RE recalls the bikes and reinforces the chassis.

Considering the track record, asking for a recall means publicly accepting the mistake, which is not the tendency with Indian manufacturers, thanks to consumer laws that favour businesses more than consumers.

If u don't use proper bolts after putting crash guard and using wrong bolts it will happen in any bike which uses engine as stress member. Same issue also happened in ktm bikes and many other bikes. The thing is it is highlighted more in case of RE because it gives more views.

There are 100 s of motorcycles in the market today & 1000 s of assasories or crash guards available for them but none of these bike breaks their chassis except RE HIMALAYAN ( like 411 ).

Good analysis! However, FYI crash guards are built to protect the engine not your legs. So don't look at the RE rally guard costing 9950 and think itna small guard ko jada price kyu hai vs regular RE guard, also the rally guard is esthetically designed compared to after market parts which look like a monstrosity

RE doesn't make bikes for riding, but for selling their spare parts. Which is why RE bike owners visit garages more than any other brand bikes. "Personal experience "
Watched many REVIEWS ON "HIMALAYAN 450 ADV" "CHASSIS BREAKDOWN", your video provided the most technical explanation with graphical depiction. Most comforting with all possible scenarios required, to understand & overcome the problem presented to rider community. Hope to see worrisome issue & solution reasoned by all riders, clear their emotions by putting some thought. Thanku for this thoughtful one. Thank you & cheers.

Recently my Himalayan bs4 2018 model chassis broke down its seme same Royal Enfield Don't buy Royal Enfield
Stress members are supposed to be reinforced, but not seen in this case. This frame is supposed to handle extreme load, stress & strain on it as it is an off-road machine. This seems under engineered, little bit more strength in the stress members would have been a lot better. Aftermarket crash guards may cause vibrations but it will affect the joints mostly unless and until there is already a failure point in the member. Anyone who have studied engg mechanics will know this.
I think the point regarding welding and heat treatment could be the real issue. The steel tube just got torn instead of bending. Since there are too-many welds around that breakage area it could be, because of steel becoming brittle due to the heat from welds. It’s not any subframe that broke but the main one. It’s the fist attempt of RE with a twin spar frame. I think a recall is in the pipeline..

There is a new KTM adv 390 round the corner, you can wait for a newer model
Very well explained... my opinion for RE is to come up with strong thick frame and dont bridge the frame with engine i mean this current frame is called the back bone frame ideally they should use doubled cardle frame.
Eicher Motorcycles will continue using buyers as Guinea Pigs, they will continue having quality issues as they still continue concentrating on quantity over quality, and, third, the new Himalayan has kept up the tradition of broken Chassis.
This is just excuse this ppl see stunt riders they use after market carsh guards on 1000cc bikes and also this isnt issue with ktm adv 390 or bmw gs
There is no chasis break case in Europ or America. Because of strict quality control. And in India here are multiple of these cases have been registered. It is as simple as that. RE is providing us low grade product just for their profit. Tootega nhi to update kaise aayega or maal kaise bikega.

I will share my presonal opinion...i have std 500 BS3 2015 model, you know in that bikes crash guards are mount separately with clamps without removing any sort of chasis bolt or any other critical engine bolt ...but in Himalyan i can see engine is connected to chasi and on that leg guard are connected...so problem might increase if bike just may even drop from ideal position...where join may be dmg
Great video bro covering all the possibilities. It’s pretty clear RE is giving all the lame reasons. Himalayan is an adventure bike and is meant to take much more abuses compared to city oriented motorcycles. RE has doesn’t have cleans history of manufacturing defects. Even hunter had rusting issues within months of purchase. There are lot more advs out there with no such reported issue. Addition of crash guards won’t result in such damages, unless they have made the chassis very brittle and it is failing to transfer the vibrations or loads. Coming the handle issue, there’s issue in the clamp of 452, would recommend you to switch to those of 411. They are much better.

There's extra stress on the right side of the chassis because of how the suspension on Himalayan 450 is setup. One suspension is for rebound and one suspension is for damping (SFF - Separate Fork Function), hence the little twist of the chasis which causes extra stress on that region of the chassis.

@@ungalpunga very good observation, this is actually correct about suspension but the Ts are designed in such a way that suspension a symmetry doesn’t transfer to chassis, you see lot of scooters have single side suspension only
I m not sure, but as per the pics, both bikes have used the same brand crash guard, if u see. Ek aur chiz ha, ki user ne shayad pehle koi ride wagera me koi rugged terrain par ride, offroad might be Kara hoga which may induce pre damage, jo koi ek jhatke se city me Tut gya. Actually there can a hell lot of reasons. But isko hum legacy of chassis break nahi bol sakte kiu some lakh units of 411 was sold over years, how many cases of chassis break do we know, won't even account for 0.1 percent. Aur dusre bike me hua ki nahi, that too we don't know as all don't do vlogging. There can be many points bro which might have led to this. We can't really normalise it

It's a matter of quality. Breaking the main frame is not any common in any other bikes but it's common with Himalayan. What a great build quality. I was planning to buy Himalayan 450. But Now I will never go for Himalayan. Better go for GS 310 or KTM.

Engine on the new Himalayan is directly mounted and is a stressed member. Improperly installed accessories with wrong torquing of the bolts are one important reason. A improperly trained mechanic or technician not knowing about this can cause this. It could be improperly designed accessory. Himalayan was actually released in the Himalayas and we have seen several videos of several foreign and Indian press actually riding it in the worst scenarios. Simulations and hardware testing was done extensively. Use RE genuine accessories and avoid aftermarket ones for now. I personally know several riders who have done a continuous Kanyakumari to Ladakh on new Himalayan. They did not have aftermarket stuff and their bikes are working perfectly till now.

Scrambler owner here. I was gunning for Himalayan before buying scrambler. Mainly because i loved the engine. One day during the test ride i deliberately got off the bike and tried to move it. My God the bike felt top heavy. That means weight is not evenly distributed. And seeing the breaks in the images I feel like weight management could have been a lot better. Scrambler excels in lot of areas. Weight management is one of those. QC should be stricter for RE. They have past breakages with Himalayan, and this would disappoint lot of customers.

You are correct, thats why when i said in my videos that weight is a con in one of my videos people commented in hatered but that’s a fact, you drive ktm adv or Honda 500x , you will not feel its weight
The standard design on most of the bikes is engine on chassis but himalayan 450 is chassis on top of engine. That means engine is not sitting on chassis rather engine hanging under chassis that is the problem. I too have himalayan 450 n I never observed the chassis. Now after this I observed n read the chassis. God save us 🙏 One thing I am going to do is I will get the after market engine gaurd removed and will install OEM so in case anything breakage RE can take full responsibility

Yeaah after sales and resale value is the issue, but they are improving very fast
Any other brand bike: not even one chassis break New Himalayan: 2 chassis break and bikes aren't even a year old. You do the math

Yeaaah, and not just chassis there is a long list of quality issues with their bikes. They do not quality check very well
Vibration se chassis toot rhi hai bc 😂 splendor le lo iss se badhiya
ye sab unnecessary excuse kudko hope dene ke liye hai, reality yehi hai ki quality of chassis royal Enfield is not top notch
If you are correct it must have happed in an accident only. If the torque of nut not proper its thread will ruin not the chasis.

No, if you tight it more then also a nut can cause create issues, in tightening torque is given for all bolts in very specific numbers

@@gentlemenandmotorcycles I never seen chasis breaking due to over tight nuts. If the nuts are over tight, threads of the nut will be damaged or bolt itself will be broken.
Definitely the persone who has designed classic was not the same one of the Himalayan......engineering team is different...100% ..in the same company...different quality
second service... 450...break pad changed... dnt know how it is fuked soo soon
RE hum logo ko galat samjhaa Raha hay ....ye plastic se Nehi bana hua ke toot jayegi
I would go for v-strom 250 for it's built quality

Its not fair to blame RE you install all fuck shit aftermarket parts then blem the manufacturer....... If stock bike has some problem then it is considered. Not your fancy aftermarket lala land.
