Driven around 150 kms. I am still waiting for the number to come . They delayed the registration process, finally after follow up got the sms for tax paid with no. The RC is not yet generated so looks like will have to wait more. Got a message that they are organising an India ride and have asked to register for the event on 28th January. Not sure without the no plates I would be able to join in the event.

Did the first Bangalore ride for X440 today drove a total of 200 odd kms . The experience was great, met many fellow x440 owners from Bangalore. In all there were around 50+ folks.

Got this msg yesterday from the dealer from where I got my X440. Called and found that its some software update. Anyone else got any similar update? Aren't software updates supposed to get installed itself via HD-Connect app delivery (or possibly via e-sim for top model). How to check whats the latest firmware available for, say, S variant so that I can compare version with the one currently installed.

It says hardware update and that will mean physical presence at the service center. Isnt it?

Got a call from RK Krishna Auto Bangalore. They have bikes readily available. In case anyone wants to checkout and purchase. I got a call as my name was still in their system as a booking.

Good to know. My mails and calls to HD helpline and local Bimal Hero dealer are going nowhere. I was told the vehicle will be dispatched between 15th and 28th of Jan but haven't got any communication yet. Getting the dealer changed is also not very straight forward with HD. Somehow, i dont have the same enthusiasm that i had last year, so not following up aggressively. I might just cancel my booking!

Finally received confirmation yesterday that my bike has arrived. Will be going down to the showroom today to talk to the executive and complete the payment formalities. Its been a long wait from July 29th, 2023 to this day!

Planning for the following accessories:

1. Engine guard
2. Sump guard
3. Main stand
4. Touring seat.

The executive said they have some accessories in stock. Lets see if they can provide all. Else, may need to pop down to Tuskar Harley and pick up.
Does anybody have a picture of the touring seat? Also, is there a master list of accessories for X440? I searched online but can't find anywhere

What is the IDV value of the insurance for your bikes? I am planning to get it from outside.

Yes, the showroom did call me and ask to visit for the change. I did not get a chance to visit them as of yet. May go next week.

I faced air leak issue in rear tyre(around 1-1.5 psi reduces daily via air leak between rim and tyre ie rim leak) since day one. Had to leave bike at Harley Gurgaon service center for couple of days for observation and fixing this. They indicated Hero team will come and check (not sure if it it was really attended by some team from hero). Its fine now. Asked them if anyone else had reported similar issue. Looks like no.

Its Rs 265525 for me in Delhi. Should be similar elsewhere

Has anyone got PPF done for their bike? My bike will be ready by Friday or Saturday. Thinking of getting PPF for metal tank and side inserts. Does the accessories list include some rubber insert on the tank to prevent scratches?

Finally took delivery of my bike today. Delivery was at Bimal Motors Bytrayanapura. The whole delivery felt so sad! My weekly bigbasket delivery person is more excited to deliver groceries! Harley clearly needs more work on premium experience. The 'hero' way does NOT work for such a high priced (relatively) product with the HD badge.



Anyway, the bike is nice. Drove through mad hebbal traffic to Tuskar Harley and got the following accessories installed:

1. Engine guard
2. Bash plate
3. Main stand
4. Touring seat.

Will add PPF on Monday. Haven't taken HOG or road side assistance. Has anyone taken these 2? Is it worth it?

Overall feeling is good. Got a good workout for my wrist and palm in bumper to bumper traffic at Hebbal junction. Clearly, this bike does not like it. There was some heat felt on my legs but nothing too bad.

Does anyone know about break in period? The user manual just explains all the features of the bike without going into riding and breaking-in of the bike. Anyway, keeping below 4K rpm till about 500-750kms.

Congratulations, enjoy your ride. Keep it below 4K rpm till first service for break in. Most have not taken HOG and roadside, few have, you can take HOG membership later also. Some also have done insurance also from outside on their own.Backrest is essential, still waiting for official accessory to come out. Else most folks have got it installed from Royal customs as they have many accessories available.
