Multiple incidents regarding the BS6 Royal Enfield Himalayan getting stalled were reported. The Chennai-based company has now rectified the issue, latest media reports say.
Several owners of the BS6 Royal Enfield Himalayan had complained about a stalling problem. This usually happened when the dual-sport motorbike was at the lower end of the rev range. While some customers had experienced their BS6 Himalayan stalling while warming up after a cold start, others had faced this issue during normal idling of the motorcycle. A handful of riders had also reported that the problem occurs when they switch between gears at low speeds, ride in bumper-to-bumper to traffic and the clutch is disengaged for a longer period.
The aforementioned issue seems to be inconsistent and maybe not all the owners of the motorcycle had it. The company’s concerned authorities have issued certain guidelines to rectify it for the affected units.
