  1. Indian Scout
    INTRO THREAD: I just purchased a 2016 Scout non abs, it has 2900 miles. Very nice bike for the price. First thing I noticed was the brake and clutch lever. They’re aftermarket and the kuryakyn brand. Both have a lot of free play up and down. All bolts are tight. I saw a post where...
  2. Indian Scout
    Installed a new extra plate Barnett clutch into the scout and did a fresh oil change. test ride it for 20 mins., some slow some fast. Runs great. About 15 mins in I noticed slight slipping which quickly became severe slipping. Roll on in sixth gear and it revs out without acceleration. Even...
  3. Indian Scout
    My 2016 Scout makes a clank when shifting into 1st gear when stationary. 2nd clanks a little but not as bad. All other gears are more smooth. No noise when shifting to 1st nearing a stop. Is this abnormal? It has always done that since I bought it at 4k miles. It may be a little louder now at...
  4. Indian Chief Vintage
    Just dropping the comment here because of the frustration I had finding a cable when mine snapped. 16" apes on a 14 Chief Vintage required a 74-1/4" cable from Barnett. It fits perfectly. I also zip cut a small piece off the sides of a ferrule at the engine end of the cable so I did NOT...
  5. Indian Roadmaster
    In December of 2021 I purchased my dream bike a 2016 Indian Roadmaster in Blue Diamond Ice, I traded in my 2014 Indian Chieftain for it. My issue is, as I'm riding I can be in 4th, 5th or 6th gear (will do it a little in 3rd but not as bad) and grab the throttle (say to make a pass) and the...
  6. Indian Motorcycle Tech Q & A
    First off please forgive me as I am new to all things motorcycle. I was looking over my bike last night after I got home from work and noticed something about my clutch cable. It is probably nothing but I feel like I should ask anyways. Does it just need a good cleaning?
  7. Indian Motorcycle Tech Q & A
    Been riding a lot this past month and noticed that my clutch lever was loosening up on my scout bobber sixty 2020. I figured no biggie, Ill adjust it and tighten it up. Upon adjusting it, I decided to inspect it/grease it as well and noticed that some of the wire of the cable was frayed within...
  8. Indian Challenger
    My Challenger clutch slips under heavy load at times. I'd like to put the Barnett clutch kit with the extra plate and upgraded springs in. My question is, can I do this without actually removing the clutch basket from the bike? The service manual lists a "staking nut" (#4 in diagram below...

    Hey y'all quick question. Clutch was slipping so I installed the Barnett clutch pack and springs. (Scout Bobber) However, the clutch shaft (not the bar lever) is easily pushed down.. like no effort at all. I can move it up and down with one finger. What did I do wrong? 100% sure I put the...

  11. Indian Scout
    I recently installed a tier 1 tuner on my bike, it has a mustang seat, led headlights, performance exhaust and ss intake, in the install video it says to set it on map 3 which is low/high, it came on map 2 low/med, not sure if one is better then the other, curios if anyone knows? The same day i...
  12. Indian Scout Sixty
    So I noticed today on my ride around town that my clutch lever kind of wobbles around. I stopped at a red light and was able to move the clutch lever up and down quite a bit and I’ve never noticed this problem before. Any tips or ideas as to how this happened or how to fix it would be great!! Is...
  13. Indian Motorcycle Tech Q & A
    Has anyone had any experience with the EFM auto clutch? Arthritis in my left hand is making it really hard to ride. This unit is a centrifugal clutch setup that you do not have to use the hand clutch but it is still functional if you want to. Just wondering if anyone has heard positive or...

  15. Gilroy Indian Models
    Sometimes when I'm out for a ride and stop to get gas, I get back on the bike and hit the starter button and hear this awful sound. The sound is a little like grinding or something is trying to spin. It only does this when the bike is hot, on cold starts the bike is rad. After some research...

    I have been riding a variety of motorcycles for 37 years. I recently bought a 2016 Scout, & it has the firmest clutch of any bike I've owned. I seem to be developing arthritis in my hands, making it painful to operate such a firm clutch. After doing some research, it appears that I'm not the...

    Restoring a 1948 India Chief and can not figure out how the Clutch Pedal Friction Pin stays in. I am 95% done with restoration, but when I tore it down the friction pin was missing so I purchased one along with a new friction washer. What I cant figure out is how the pin stays in the clutch...
  19. Indian Scout
    I installed beach bars a good ways back. I always thought my aftermarket clutch cable looked like it could be longer but things worked fine so...meh. Then I installed a Rekluse EXP Autoclutch - see my other thread - wonderful addition, BUT, my clutch pull was CRAZY hard. 1 month later I took...
  20. Indian Scout
    I have been running Scout#124 with a Pingle shifter now for 2 months. It is a great addition to the Scout or any motorcycle that you want to reduce clutch use with. You can get on the throttle as hard as you want and it will shift more accurately and faster than anyone can manually. However...
