Sir, I came back from Spiti valley trip last week, unfortunately we had to return from Kaza as Manali Chandigarh Highway was having lots of landslides and police was returning people from Chandra taal & Batal. So went to Rakccham on our way back. Awesome trip, RE Himalayan for the win.

@bigbearbangalore 11 ай бұрын

Yes Spiti valley has been closed for a while and we too did not go there though we were scheduled to. And happy that you had an alternate route and had a good time. And yes, the Himmer is quite well suited for the Himalayas. Cheers!

Hey I have doubt, is there any alternative for the detergent like diesel or wd40 or chain cleaner? And even for the oil does light coat of chain spray works, I am curious if you have tried similar alternatives, and if we are stranded and only have basics like petrol wd40 and can of chain spray does it hurt the fabric of the filter. I like your content btw no bs just facts, please let these type of videos keep coming

@bigbearbangalore 10 ай бұрын

Soap water can be used. No diesel or wd40. These will destroy the filter fabric.

Love your videos,Bosskey. I'm looking to improve the throttle response of my Honda H'ness CB 350 on highway rides. Considering I can buy only one of the following parts at a time, in which order should I get these - BMC air filter, Fuelx pro ECU, and Red Rooster exhaust. Which one of these would make the most amount of difference for the money? Thanks!

Also would the speedo and odometer be thrown out of calibration after a sprocket change? That's one major concern of mine since the bike is new and I want the odometer to be fairly accurate

Hello 👋 in your style! I planned to fit performance air filter in my classic reborn for more breathing. Should it be enough or should I do ECU tuning or some other stuffs to make it work perfect? Will I see any noticeable drop in mileage? I believe the sound and performance will go high slightly for sure. Need your advice. Thanks in advance.

I had a doubt about the performance air filter , sir i hope you know there are many performance air filters available in the market and i have seen that K&N air filters dont properly filter dust and it gets passed through the filter to the engine which leads engine damage in long term but i haven't seen this problem anywhere with BMC air filters so wanted to know if it will be safe and not like other air filters which dont filter properly?

Upgrade is good to do. There is no set kms and anytime is a good time. I suggest that you combine the BMC with the FuelX for best effect. Exhaust can come later too.
