OK... So the guy that has the Himalayan called me yesterday. It looks like the title is finally at the bank and they are going to send it to him. There was an issue with the VIN number that has finally been sorted out, and it looks like I'm finally going to be able to pick up my new Himalayan possibly as early as next week.
I've been reading on here and some other sources for the last few weeks learning everything I can about the Himalayans and all of their standard problems. Most of my most recent previous bikes have been Triumph Bonneville's and Kawasaki W650's. No problems with any of them. And now I'm starting to get a little antsy as to whether my ownership of the Himalayan will be relatively trouble free...
By the way this bike is a 2021 model with only 165 miles on it. It's still under warranty until February 2023 and I plan on letting the dealer service it until it's out of warranty and then do all the service myself which is what I've always done on my motorcycles.
So my questions are:
1. Have you had a relatively trouble free experience with your Himalayan?
2. How many miles have you put on it.
3. Is there anything in particular I should be concerned with?
