411 & 450 Himalayan & Scram / Re: 2019 Himalayan known issues
« Last Post by GSS on Today at 10:36:20 am »Mostly easily fixable minor issues over the years.
1. Keyed ignition switch caused 2-3 random shut downs. Cleaned carbonized stuff off the contacts and put dielectric grease and there has been no recurrence. A few folks replaced the ignition switch instead.
2. Battery drains out in 1-2 weeks if unused. Hitchcock’s sells a little adapter that fixed this issue.
3. If in the US, RE did recall and replace both brake calipers for corrosion issues.
4. Front brake lever can go flat after a few days and no amount of bleeding by any manual technique fixes it. Needs the RE electronic tool to cycle ABS to get hidden air bubbles out, but this would have been already done during the caliper recall.
Overall a very reliable bike. HCM cam, powertronic and Lexmark muffler totally woke up the engine. Hope this helps. Thanks.
