Valve clearances, 2019 and 2020 Himalayans

New to forum , but experience on other forums makes me a believer...can you confirm or inform that valve clearances on the 2020 Himalayan are the same as for the 2019? I have one of each, and 90 minutes of searching on the interweb has gained me nada. The 2019 is 0.08-0.10 intake and 0.23 exhaust, but I cannot for the life of me find the numbers for the 2020 (my wife liked the 2019 so much we bought a 2020 for our boys to learn on!).. Also, our 2020 does not have switchable ABS as I have seen mentioned on other 2020s. How to know which emissions standards this one is? BS4 v BS6? This is probably simple stuff but I can't find it....appealing to the community wisdom!

PS--I actually bought the 2020 for me to go backroading, but that's our secret. I have a Moto Guzzi Stelvio but the Himma is just so easy to be confident with, it's my choice for BDRs, etc.

Welcome. Congrats on sharing the joy and also the new bike.

Adding an ABS On/Off switch isn't to hard. There's several ways to do it ranging from fast and easy to OMG it looks like factory. Gimme a bit and I'll get ya some links.

Fastest way to tell if it's BS6-ish is to look where the first catalytic converter is located. If it's behind a heat shield down by your right foot it's BS4 or US EPA.
If it's up high in the head pipe it's BS6-ish


Been to busy to dig into it to find out if we get the relocated cat for 2020 or not. Here's a link to an article on the differences in the Indian Domestic Market BS 4 and BS 6 Himalayans https://bikeadvice.in/2020-himalayan-bs6-changes/
