The stalling was a well known "feature" of the 650s. My Interceptor did it, as well. The most common solution was cleaning the ridiculous amounts of anti-corrosion grease out of the relays (specifically the fuel pump relay) and replacing the relays with what were presumed to be higher quality units. In my case, however, the issue was not resolved until I replaced the tip-over sensor.

Since it was only happening on bumpy roads, maybe fuel is sloshing around too much and the bike is fuel starving, or the fuel pump might be shutting off due to an overly sensitive tip over switch or something.

Could be some error in ECU programming judging by the behaviour with throttle glitch, engine cut-off and the mode change error at first try, being a pre production test bike these glitches are usual. Try it once again in US when the production bike arrives there and see if these issues persist :) will also wait for production model user reviews here in india as well :)

Mode change might be like my Triumph- you can't change modes unless you cycle it off and on again, before hitting the ignition. So, pick your ride mode before you start riding rather than being able to change it on the fly. Makes sense, since it would warrant less attention on the road to do it while riding.

This is why getting a new model's first production run unit is never the best idea. The manufacturers test it extensively, but we are still talking about a few tens of riders testing it during the design and production stages. Many issues go unnoticed until tens of thousands of customers ride them for hundreds of thousands of kilometres. Hopefully, those issues will be fixed in future design iterations. I plan to get this in a couple of years (by the 3rd iteration) as long as something else competitive appears in the sub-500cc segment. I am also keeping an eye on the upcoming redesign of the KTM 390 ADV. Don't really want to go above 500cc again.

I had a himalayan 411, after I had completed 30k on odo, i was on yet another ride, just after completing 300km in that ride, the engine died. It was a really painful experience getting the bike fixed. Finally I sold it off. Himalayan was my dreqm but now I am more carefull.

It’s possible that your power problem is linked to the not functioning pre production modes issue. I watched an early video when the latest Africa Twin came out. A bike that was running perfectly suddenly refused to climb a fairly easy hill, when the rider opened the throttle nothing happened. In that case it was that the ECU was simply following instructions; the anti-wheelie option was active and when the front wheel got too far above the rear wheel it cut the power. Simple to fix once one person in the crowd of people giving advice spotted the problem.

Classic Royal Enfield character. The 411 experiences similar issues with either difficulty starting, cutting out when pulling the clutch in or just totally dying. Most common causes are idle speed setting, bad relays and bad fuel pump. Lots of bikes have no issues but some owners have played a lot of wack-a-mole trying to isolate the cause.

Saying that it doesn’t seem like a Royal Enfield might be seen as a negative thing by their sales executives. It’s a bit like when Harley introduced the Pan American, they have a huge customer base and it was important that the new model would really appeal to them as well as offering an alternative to the established adventure bikes. The Himalayan 411 was always unique in its market, the 452 is set to take on some pretty competitive machines, head to head. It needs to appeal to RE enthusiasts as well as those looking for a mid sized adventure bike to get the sales it deserves.

My friend owns a 2021 model Himalayan. He had this exact issue in the bike. We have visited the SVC about 10 times and it took them a while (about 2-3 months) to accept that there is an issue. Many a times, the SVC guy just revved it like he's riding a sports bike and said there's no issue! After many visits, we went to another RE SVC and they tried to fix it by replacing some components such as sensors, fuel injector, etc. Finally, in September 2023, they replaced the ECU and now it's fine. All these replacement were done free of cost. But I can tell you, it annoyed the fuck out of the owner. Numerous visits to SVC, irresponsible behaviour in one of the SVC, we had to change to another SVC, the issue sucks the fun out of rides, etc. We never had the confidence to take it for a long ride. But now for the past 3 months, he is enjoying his bike. I hope it stays that way.

If you were the only person it could be that both those bikes had loose connections to the fuel pump or by coincidence, both bikes shared the same batch of bad fuel. Hard to understand why the other riders didn't suffer yet we could all see the problems you were having. Even stranger, no other tester has reported it yet either in other reviews which is weird. Pity you couldn't have tried a third bike.

A fabulous review. Good and bad pointed out to help everyone involved - the makers and the future riders. This issue really hurts in high altitude because in India high altitude is REALLY HIGH. Bad fuel is aplenty. And of course the electricals need adjustment because RE users definitely dream of riding in the wild not in the cities. The only saviour is a great service network even in remote areas. Great job

I do not see the point of ride by wire on this bike since it doesn’t even have cruise control. It just seams more complicated and less reliable. I am sure RE had a good reason for doing this but I don’t know what it is.

Let us know what you find man. We looking to purchase, or fellow owners, could use the data. Thanks for the video!

Maybe the accelerator/ throttle cable needs some tightening, not sure.

So those that don't know this was about 10k feet above sea level (the tallest peak in New England at Mount Washington is only 6k feet and that is the very tip) if you have ridden a motorcycle at higher elevations and especially with shit fuel this can happen. Could also just be that this bike was ridden before by 20 different people and crashed 50 different times and now the lean over is a little worse for ware.
