  1. Indian Challenger
    Indian seriously needs to get this battery draw issue fixed on their bikes. I’ve been riding for over 20 years and have never had to keep a bike on a tender non-stop. Any bike that requires this has a design flaw. What good is having a gas powered vehicle that I have to plug in all the time. If...
  2. Thunder Stroke 111 Guides & How-To's
    I just replaced the stock battery (3 1/2 yrs old) with the Wicked battery. I got it from Amazon for just under $100 delivered. They claim 500 CCA, it cranked the bike right up with no problem and it is a direct fit for our stock batteries. Time will tell how this one lasts but I am happy with it...
  3. Indian Motorcycle Tech Q & A
    I've seen in a few threads folks mentioned putting a 500 CCA battery in their bikes, but searching goole for 2016 Indian Chieftain battery brings up nothing but 270 to 310 CCA batteries. Anyone have a source for a 500 CCA battery they can share? I'd like to get as many cranking amps as I can...

    Greetings, I have read through all the posts and have tried a few suggestions to no avail. Some background: I bought the bike, previous owner mentioned the battery died fast but kept it on a tender and started fine. I have kept it on a tender since I bought it but only rode twice since Feb...

    My battery struggled to start the Chief yesterday, as a bit cool outside but still summer down here in NZ. It threw a "chkeng" code in the process. Tested the battery, it's almost shot. 2 years old, 7000kms. They don't make 'em like they used to...FYI...battery type (2014 Classic) is 20HL-BS

  7. Indian Motorcycle Tech Q & A
    Looking for some answers or idea's. My daughter's 2003 Scout Deluxe starts right up, but if you shut it off after riding the battery is dead. I've put a multi-meter on the battery after I started it and you can see the charge slowly go down. Any idea's???
  8. Indian Scout
    When fooling with the battery, couple weeks back, I noticed the ground terminals were crimped on the ends of a thin-stranded cable, like so: You can see the strands either side are not crimped down. Nor are the strands in the center all in direct contact with the terminal. Cold weather prolly...
  9. Indian Chieftain
    OK, so my ride only has 480 miles on it and it has worked perfectly until this afternoon when I got on it and within 2 miles, my voltage went to under 11 volts and the "low voltage" indicator came on, then 1 mile later, my driving lights and radio were shut down by the computer, then another...
