Karl, please reconsider going to Pakistan cause it might cause visa and reenter issues

Please don't start it until you clean it, change the oil, change all fluids, clean the fuel pump, and all lines, and clean spark plugs! Battery change! Himalayans are pretty sturdy bikes. More like a tractor, it will run as long as it has oil and gas!

@dass854 That would be in an ideal condition yes, not when bringing it out of storage after a year or more, you risk internal damage. Use thinners to flush out old oil. Start with fresh new oil. I would do a second oil flush after riding it for 500kms.

I have a 1975 650 Yamaha. Only the clutch pads have been changed. I love this Motorcycle! I'm 76 and still ride it.

Bro casually coming on a supermetor 650

I was wondering not too long ago what happened to your bike. When we lived in Delhi I would watch your motorcycle adventures as idea gathering for my own channel, but alas, buying a bike while I was there didn't happen. I'm so happy you got it running again. Good to see you back in the old neighborhood again! I miss it there so much (my wife loves it here in the US but I still miss India like crazy).

Amazing prices! I got a radio station in India the other day from Haryana - Askavani 1143 MW here in Northern Finland!

I’ve only read the title and felt shock and horror!!! As soon as I’ve finished working I’m grabbing a costa coffee and walking back home to watch this. 3 things you don’t do in life are abandon a Harley Davidson, a Royal Enfield or a BSA. Pure sacrilege 😢. However I don’t know the full story as I’ve not watched the segment yet. I’m not reading other comments because it will be a load of spoiler alerts. Can’t wait for it, can’t wait for coffee either so it will be a nice wind down from work. I hope!!!!!! lol

cost of petrol in India range from 95-100 inr. If we convert 84 euros to inr we get 7630 inr and with that much of money, one can get 80 litres of petrol. And I think RE Himalayan gives around 30/kmpl of mileage so 80*30=2400kms that's insane.

Great Video. The Service Center looks way better than my local Royal Enfield Dealership here in UK.

Great to see you back on your @royalenfield Himi Karl!!! Great video & awesome to see the true value of time & products. As you said the similar in Australia for me would be north of 500 AUD. I've been lucky enough to travel with Royal Enfield to some pretty incredible places. I've ridden through Himachel in India, Australia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nepal all on Royal Enfields. Would love to see you at Rider Mania/MotoVerse one year in Goa! Ride safe Jimi

Very interesting that they tried to start it full knowing that it stood for a while and would need a complete fluid change. Anyway I’d be in for this treat in two months when I return home to my Classic 500 after just over a year.

The bike is ready for travelling

Lately I was thinking about your bike and dang... here is a video...❤

I have an RE meteor 350, had a faulty ignition coil. The service centre guys were so friendly and got it fixed, and my bike is working like a charm. I think REs are the Toyotas of the motorcycle world for their reliability!

Man, Karl, anything you post, I can watch all of it; food, scams, travel, now bikes. Refreshing content! Edit: was gonna add, I cannot believe the tow and the full service price. You got a heck of a deal! Pretty sure 3rd party service mechanics can even do it cheaper, now I am curious how much they'd they charge for that.

Cool to see your into bikes I love them 💞

Damn 13:25 thats the most honest repair from a service centre lol

Karl, great to see you getting back on the bike. But please reconsider going to Pakistan cause it caused the visa issue last time

Such a cool video bro keep it up!! I’ve got a question, do you film all your footage it one batch, and then edit it all in one batch afterwards? So like 4 weeks of just filming, and then you go somewhere and edit for 4 weeks. Or do you film and edit the same day and post it the following day?

nice to have u back

PUC is done, rather required, once a year! To make sure it is still compliant with emission norms (bs3/4/6 standards)

Mine is so similar to yours. Same color, knuckle gaurds, even the mobile holder :P. But don't have these pinions but rear box.. I have gone through of dead battery scenario in which case have to do dhakka start or push start. Guess what, you can't do it alone and need someone to push or..OR, if you have a partking area ramp, climb it and use gravity to do other's persons task 😆.. There is a common issue in Himalayan there somehow the battery charge leaks, so it's getting consumed even in standby. When I got my battery replaced, the guy said that it's deriving the amps means its sucking the charge while ideal as well, thats why suggested to rev it once in a week so atleast battery is not dead.. Thats why we call it chota hathi 😆

I learned the hard way during covid that if your not driving a vehicle you have to start it once a week, maybe once ever 2 weeks, if you don't let it run at least a few minutes every week the battery goes completely dead. I never knew this or even considered it when i tried using my car one day and wouldn't start, people talked to me like i was stupid and should have known that, lol. It really should be run around block at least every few weeks as well. EDIT: Haha you paid about as much as it costs me for an oil change in USA for all that, crazy! But of course have to keep in mind income is significantly lower in India too.

If we here compare to expenditures our income isn't lower instead it's sufficient enough ... If you'll apply our income ratio wise to your place , your area will still come out pricey. 👍😛 ... Ours is people driven society bro not materialistic .

As an indian, i myself am surprised about how good the RE service is and its cost 😮

Love you Brother. You are a pure soul.❤️🇮🇳

Wow! They really brought it back from the dead

What's it like to learn how to ride a motorcycle for someone who has only driven automatic cars? I ride a bicycle with gears, but shifting is much simpler on that because there's no engine, and therefore no clutch.

Honestly impressed on how good india's local bikemakers are considering you guys have very fine bikes. I love bullets. I am from pakistan where bikemakers are non-existent only honda and suzuki make bikes. people import yamahas and david-sons. Btw does he 84$ bill include the charge of a battery replacement if so how much?

wow Karl i cannot belive the price, here in England you cannot get them to start work for anything under £200. glad you have you toy back lol hope you and the family are all well. best wish from England

🏍️😎🤘 Good deal … I was out riding my Himalayan today … Cheers … Jai Hind 🙏

Claiming bullet accident insurance is very easy. Staff are so gentle.

And it was still there, well done. I ride a 1955 Ariel 500 single every day 👍

First change oil and all rubber elements tyres bushes cables brakes clutch because no matter you ridden it or not it has its time period to change😊

Change the airfilter, relube the chain, change fluids, ensure the battery is tested for ph and recharged. Then away you go...

Full service on my Bullet is about $300 here in Oz. Had a repair done at RE in Nepal, only charged NpRs/-400

great Video Karl loved it

I can feel your happiness, i own a Jawa 42, it feels awesome to after many days

this might be the only video where you have tried to speak positively about India good job

I’m going to have same situation in future , I am getting a Himalayan next week in Kerala. Going to use it for two weeks and next my vacation is after one and half years. My motorcycle will be covered and the battery I will put the floating charger.

I am at 93,000km from Kargil to kanyakumari many times. Yamaha FZ. Head to Sural Bhatori and stay a week exploring the mountains, then head up to north of Padum for the same (Shagar Yukma, on the west side of the river)

Normally I would change all fluids after that long period. But I think you could have started it with just some fresh fuel. 3 years is a long time for fuel to sit.

Awesome !

When the video was shot? Last year in June?

never expected the service guy to pull up on a meteor 650 lmfao

Also you need to update your Insurance on the bike. Which is mandatory. Thanks

My classic 350 reborn is also standing more then 12month am visiting my village this June , hope my bike starts , let's see

What do you think about the new 450 karl?

Amazing...

The front tire is mounted backwards?

Wow, i can't believe it's been 954 days, i feel like it wasn't that long ago since you last road it, time flies by.

i feel pity for your motorcycle bro and for you too.. i hope your day will get easier..

Rithala Service Station... this is where I get my Meteor 350 serviced

That was awesome 😊😊😊

something @karlrock u can maybe look at, i noticed at 12:40 that the front tire was wrongly placed, i might not be well educated in bike mechanics. i think the tire thread/arrows must be facing the wheel/tire is spinning. Cause for cars thats the case correct me if am wrong. 🙂🙂

@4:11 if it was Australian spider you would go away 😂

I always disconnect the battery terminals for leaving it off for long period of time.

Nice!

without clicking on video i knew it wont start. I do wfh since then my Himalayan is standing exactly like urs ...every time iv to change battery ....it will be active only 15 days if u even put a new battery

I had Royal Enfield Bullet 350 standard when i was in india but i had to sell it when I moved to Canada in 2018. I still miss my machine 🥲
