    Hey there— congrats on the new bike! Mine’s a 2018 Himalayan, ‘Snow’ colour scheme. Feel free to shoot me a PM when you want to ride some dirt roads during the run-in!

    Hard shifting 2-3, 3-4

    I appreciate your input in this thread! Looking forward to getting more involved as I learn more about post-warranty Himalayan DIY.

    Hard shifting 2-3, 3-4

    This is very helpful, and somewhat reassuring, thanks! Only ‘somewhat’ because it was definitely much higher than that on delivery, and after servicing. Glad I’ll be doing my own changes from now on so I can apply my obsessive attention to normal levels (and spend half a day just changing the oil)!

    Hard shifting 2-3, 3-4

    Embarrassing, noob-facepalm, frustrating confession time. Oil level was too high. it’s been under warranty coming up on two years, so I hadn’t actually touched drain plug nor filler cap— as a KLR owner I’m conditioned to look for oil too low, and I stupidly trusted the dealer to put the correct...

    Hey, glad you wrote! Here in Ptbo we’re borderline eastern Ontario, but the terrain of Calabogie and the views of the 1000 Islands are in classes by themselves. I try to get out that way to explore every now and then.

    Hard shifting 2-3, 3-4

    This morning I’ll be going down a checklist as suggested by @TN_twowheeladdict . Will investigate which oil the dealer has been using at scheduled services (due for a change in the 1000km. Thanks for the suggestions— I’ll also be checking the routing of the clutch cable.

    Hard shifting 2-3, 3-4

    12,000 km 2018 Himalayan with two weeks left on warranty: I’ve always found the shifting a little harsh compared to my KLR650, but over the past week it’s become almost painful. RE would like the dealer to open up the case and investigate before committing to anything (understandable), but I’m...

    Clunking noise shifting from first into second gear?

    I’m having clunky/hard shifting issues as well. Could you please share a link to the video that helped you?

    Ontario

    Hello fellow Canadians... thought I’d start a thread for Ontario. Yes, it’s a huge geographical area to take in, but if there was interest in a group buy from the UK or India or some such, at least we’d be in the same situation with regards to import taxes, etc. Also, if there is anyone who...

    Himalayan in Peterborough, Canada

    Greetings from Peterborough, which is about an hour and a half east and north of Toronto. I replaced my old KLR650 with a 2018 Himalayan a couple of years ago, and love it. I’ve ridden it (almost) everywhere the KLR went, which is mostly Canadian Shield terrain (pink rock, cold rivers, thick...
