And thank your for your reply, I appreciate it.
very nice, there is a guy in Italy who works with us and has very expensive equipment that allows him to re-program the stock ECUs.
if you send him your TB/ECU and order a 440 cylinder/piston from me you may get a much better Himalayan/Scram 411 for relatively little money.

Please note that I have no idea what TB/ECU means (will try to get my vocabulary up to date) and that I really don't think I will make changes to the "inner" parts of the bike - to be within legal boundaries I cannot even change the standard headlight with a LED headlight. Besides I don't have any real skills in this field.
Thanks
Today 5 hours at the shop, supervising some upgrades.
The handlebar position (as with all of my Himalayans) was a bit too forward and low. I tried a riser, threw that in the bin as the bolt holes did not match (made in India), then a handlebar I had bought off amazon - which turned out to have the wrong threads at the end to fit the protectors (went to the trash as well). Ultimately a Meteor handlebar came to the rescue. Should have thought of that from the start, perfect match, only the clutch cable was too short (used the meteor one).
The stock horn is OK but I like a little more convincing when I press the button - so 2 Bosch horns had to be fixed. Kinda illegal but who cares.
Then I realized the Scram does not come with a rear carrier - fortunately bc its the same frame as the Hima, the BS6 Hima carrier does fit.
The OBD2 bluetooth went under the seat, the oil thermometer was just mounted preemptively. Probably not needed in the stock configuration but this engine will become a 477 later this year, first with the stock ECU, then with a ECU adapted to 477 from our tuning guy in Italy.
Still on order are a Powerage exhaust bc the stock sound is really puny and a tacho of which I can only hope it will work. Its a 50 bucks item so 50:50 if the quality is any good.
so far so interesting ....

Funny error appeared 3 times in one day (I can delete them with my bluetooth dongle but they show up again shortly after)
when the rain stops I will have it checked at Ranjeet, could be a faulty TB/ECU unit.
Also: the engine runs hot. All my Himas had oil thermometers and would stay slightly above 70 in normal traffic. This one rushes up to 95, then goes to 100 but luckily stays there.
Bike is now at 350km total

OK got this windscreen mounted. I is sold for the Meteor but fits without any modification to the Scram (both 411 and 440). The only very little "edge" is the turn signals which are touching the shield on both sides. A small incision would have solved that but I decided i did not care enough. it work fine and looks great IMO.

Did the 500km inspection. and lo and behold. our old friend known from the first version of the 2016 Himalayan reared its ugly head again: the entire droplink/swingarm mechanism was not well greased. had get out the good German marine grease and had it all fully packed.
Amazing how RE did not fix that issue in 10 years!
