SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
Before operating your new motorcycle, we request
you to carefully read and follow the operating and
maintenance instructions detailed in this manual for
the safety of your own, your motorcycle and also that
of others.
Know and adhere to the rules of the road with respect
to your driving country.
Before starting the motorcycle, check for proper oper-
ation of brakes, clutch, gear shifter, handle bar con-
trols, tyre pressures, fuel and oil levels, etc.
Use only genuine Royal Enfield spare parts and
approved accessories. Use of other manufacturer’s
parts may affect the performance of your motorcycle
and render the motorcycle void of warranty. Visit your
Royal Enfield Authorised Service Centre for details.
Whenever refueling your motorcycle, please exercise
utmost caution and carefully observe the following
guidelines.
Switch “OFF” mobile phones and other hand held
electronic devices.
Do not smoke and please ensure that there are no
open flames or sparks near the motorcycle, when
refueling or servicing the fuel system.
Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine
turned off condition.
Open the fuel tank cap slowly.
Do not fill the fuel in tank to its brim. Please fill
fuel till the bottom of anti splash plate, so as to
leave sufficient air space in the fuel tank to allow
for fuel expansion.

SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
WARNING
Royal Enfield cautions you against the use of certain non-
standard parts such as aftermarket and custom made
extended front forks or suspensions, which may adversely
affect performance and handling. Removing or altering
original parts may adversely affect performance and could
result in accident.
A new motorcycle must be operated according to the
special running-in-procedure. See running-in-proce-
dure mentioned in respective section.
Operate motorcycle only at moderate speeds and out
of traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar
with its operation and handling characteristics under
all conditions.
Do not exceed the legal speed limit or ride too fast for
existing conditions. Always reduce speed when poor
riding conditions exist. High speed increases the influ-
ence of any other condition affecting stability and
increases the possibility of loss of control.
NOTE
If you are an inexperienced rider we recommend that you
obtain formal training on correct motorcycle riding tech-
niques and become thoroughly familiar with the operation
of your motorcycle. New riders should gain experience
under various conditions while driving at moderate speeds.
Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions.
Any motorcycle may be subject to the following up-setting
forces:
Wind blasts from passing vehicles.
Rough or uneven road surfaces.

Royal Enfield Himalayan
8
SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
Slippery road surfaces.
These forces may affect the handling characteristics of your
motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed of the motorcy-
cle to a controlled condition. Do not apply brake abruptly.
Operate your motorcycle defensively. Remember that
a motorcycle does not afford the same protection as an
automobile in an accident. One of the most common
accident situations occurs when the rider / driver of
the other motorcycle / vehicle fails to see or recognise
a motorcycle and turns into the oncoming motorcy-
clist.
Wear an approved helmet, clothing and footwear
suited for riding a motorcycle. Bright / light colours are
best for greater visibility in traffic, especially at night.
Avoid loose, flowing garments and scarves.
When carrying a pillion rider, it is your responsibility
instruct them on proper riding procedures.
Do not allow other individuals, under any circum-
stances, to operate your motorcycle unless you know
they are experienced, licensed riders and are thor-
oughly familiar with the operating conditions of your
motorcycle.
WARNING
Regularly inspect shock absorbers and front forks and
look for leaks. Replace worn out parts. Worn out parts
can adversely affect stability and handling.
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide and
chemicals, known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive defects, durability / longevity oper-
ation of your motorcycle.
For your personal welfare, all the listed service and
maintenance recommendations should be performed.
Lack of regular maintenance at the suggested intervals
may affect the safe/durability/longevity operation of
your motorcycle.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 9
SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
Avoid any contact with the exhaust system when hot.
Wear clothing that will completely cover the legs while
riding. The exhaust system gets very hot when the
engine is running and remains too hot to touch, even
after the engine is turned OFF. Failure to wear proper
or protective clothing could result in serious injury.
Motorcycle batteries contain lead, acids and chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm. Exercise extreme caution while handling
a battery, wash hands thoroughly whenever a battery
is handled.
Consult your Royal Enfield Authorised Service Centre
regarding any questions or problems that occur in the
operation of your motorcycle. Failure to do so may
aggravate an initial problem, cause costly repairs and
jeopardize your personal safety.
Do not tow a motorcycle. The steering and handling of
the towed motorcycle will be impaired due to the force
of the towline. If a motorcycle must be transported,
use a truck or a trailer.
Do not pull a trailer behind a motorcycle. Towing a
trailer may cause reduced braking efficiency, tyre over-
loading and unstable handling, as it may cause loss of
control of the motorcycle in the front, leading to an
accident.

RULES OF THE ROAD
Be sure your number plate is installed in the position
specified by law and it is clearly visible at all times.
Ride at a safe speed that is consistent with the type of
road surface you are on. Pay strict attention while rid-
ing on the following surfaces:
Dusty
Oily
Icy
Wet
Sand
Watch for loose debris, such as leaves, slippery sub-
stances or gravel that can hamper the stability of your
motorcycle.
Keep to the correct side of the road center line, when
meeting oncoming vehicles.
Actuate your turn signals and exercise caution when
passing other vehicles going in the same direction.
Never try to pass another vehicle going in the same
direction at street intersections, on curves, or when
going up / or down a hill.
At street intersection give the right-of-way to the
motorcycle on your left or right. Do not presume you
have the right-of-way.
Adhere to the rules of the road with respect to your
country when preparing to stop, turn or pass. While
turning either right or left, watch for pedestrians, ani-
mals, as well as other vehicles.
All traffic signs, including manual controls at intersec-
tions, should be obeyed promptly. Slow down at traffic
signs near schools and caution signs at rail road cross-
ings.
When intending to turn, signal at least 100 feet (30.5
m) before reaching the turning. Be close to the center
line (unless local rules require otherwise), slow down
and then turn carefully.
Never jump a traffic light. When a change is imminent
from go to stop (or vice versa) at intersections, slow
down and wait for the light to change to green. Never
run through a yellow or red traffic light.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 11
RULES OF THE ROAD
Do not leave the curb or parking area without signal-
ing. Be sure your way is clear to enter moving traffic. A
moving line of traffic always has the right-of-way.
When parking the motorcycle, park on a firm and flat
surface to prevent it from falling over.
Protect your motorcycle against theft. After parking
your motorcycle, ensure that the steering head is
locked and then remove the ignition key.
SIDE VIEW MIRRORS
Your motorcycle is equipped with convex mirrors and have
a curved surface.
This type of mirror is designed to give a much wider view of
the rear than a normal flat mirror. However, vehicles and
other objects seen in this type of mirror will look smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat mirror.
Use care when judging the size or distance of vehicles /
objects seen in these mirrors. Use the tool available in tool
kit to loosen and adjust the side mirrors.
NOTE
To establish the relative distance of vehicles / objects
behind your motorcycle through the mirrors, adjust each
mirror in such a way, that a small portion of your shoulder is
visible and a large portion behind your motorcycle is seen
clearly with reference to your riding posture.

ACCESSORIES AND LUGGAGE
Royal Enfield offers a range of Genuine Motorcycle Acces-
sories that have been fully approved and extensively tested
alongside the motorcycle.
Therefore, the rider must be responsible for safe operation
of the motorcycle when installing accessories or carrying
additional weight.
Please adhere to the following guidelines when carrying a
pillion, luggage or when fitting any accessories.
Do not exceed 110 km/h when riding solo, carrying a
pillion or payload on an accessory equipped
motorcycle.
Keep luggage weight concentrated close to the motor-
cycle and as low as possible; this minimizes sudden
shift in the motorcycle’s center of gravity.
Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the
motorcycle.
Do not load bulky items behind the rider or add weight
to the handlebars or front forks.
Re-check the luggage periodically to ensure it is
secured and will not shift while riding. Accessories
mounted loosely may affect the riding of the motorcy-
cle and affect the handling and stability of the motor-
cycle.
Large surfaces such as fairings, windshields, backrests
and luggage racks can adversely affect handling of the
motorcycle. Use only Royal Enfield genuine motorcy-
cle accessories which are model specific and follow
installation procedure.
