Hi there,
I recently tested a 450MT from a dealer, and the experience was pleasant except for the throttle at low load. When I went off gas and wanted to go on again but only a little, the engine was abrupt and impossible to properly regulate.
They told me that in new software updates that has been solved, but I don't know if they are lying to me. Has this been fixed? And to what degree?
Hi there,
I am seriously considering the purchase of an Himalayan 450 and I rented one for a day to fully test it. I really like the bike but I got this issue on curves that I want to share with the community to see if you can help me understand it.
The point is that when I'm leaned into a curve, I feel like the handlebars want to turn more into the direction of the curve, which if you allow it will take lean away and leave the bike more vertical. (If you countersteer away from the curve you gain lean, if you steer into the curve you lose lean)
I was finding myself "fighting" with the handlebar to keep it from closing and trying to keep an stable leaning angle. Which was a weird and distrustful feeling. Like the bike fights back to return to the vertical position and go wide out of the curve. (Even without gas being applied)
I shared that with a few RE local guys but no one shared my experience, so I left confused. Am I the only one? I'm doing something wrong? If it's real, why do this happen and can be avoided?
The rented bike had 20k km and stock tires sizes. I also rode the cf moto 450 mt and didn't feel any of that.
