RE replaces my Himalayan 450's wiring and ignition after it caught fire

As of now, does not look like they will be able to figure out the root cause. I've asked them to keep me in the loop if RE has any updates.

BHPian Shur'tugal recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Sharing what might be the final update for a while.

Got my bike back today. The wiring was changed to a new, updated set. Lock-set was changed because apparently the ignition area had gotten burnt.

All the work done is neat, and everything is running normally as of now. Team at the service center were good, and my PoC was on top of things. Having the replacement bike really helped, special thanks to @vj_v3 for making me aware I'm in my rights to ask for one.

On an aside, has anybody else had their analog inputs go haywire in the monsoon? My bikes was functioning abnormally before this issue, and started doing it again on the way home. Apparently, there is an updated analog module better at preventing water ingress which is being replaced under warranty. Will get that done soon.

They still do not know what caused it to get burnt. As of now, does not look like they will be able to figure out the root cause. I've asked them to keep me in the loop if RE has any updates. This will always be at the back of my mind, but hopefully will never surface again.

Finally, it's AWESOME to have my bike back. Time to get some rides in.
