OK, this weekends puzzle for us owners. 2014 Classic with 20K miles- Maintenance done at 17,500K (required 15K) Front fork seals have been replaced(started to leak), brake fluid purged with new fluid, new front/back Dunlop tires & I've been riding on them for about 2,000+ miles. Now, I've...

I know there was a recall on the ABS Bobber brake bleed issue and that was completed on the Wife's Bobber when she took delivery. However now her rear brake goes to the floor. I've bled the rear brake line multiple times and it will last for a few weeks and then, right back to square one. I...

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?

Good day all, hope everyone is doing well and enjoying riding 👍. Bike: Indian scout sixty 2016 UK Issue: ABS light randomly come on (edit, now stays on mostly) Mileage: 12k Last week my ABS light would randomly come on and off during riding at speeds above 30mph. But as of yesterday it has...

Yesterday I took the bike to the dealer for the 48K Km service (30K miles). Shocked to know that they charge $1700 CAD ($1260 USD) for this. Ouch. Add a new back tire to that and I am over 2 grand CAD. I looks like this is a full-scale checkup - all new fluids, spark plugs and rear belt -...

Can I just confirm something with you all? I have been looking though all these old maintenance posts and I just wanted to make sure I am not missing something here. I am about due for my 500 mile service, and after seeing the dealer quote ($430.00) it seemed insane to me, for an oil change...

Ok.. since I've bought my 2018 chieftain darkhorse about a month and a half ago it has been throwing codes like a bartender throwing shots at happy hour. The first time the handle bar switch was replaced, then the battery terminal came loose, and today I will be looking at the ground side of the...

I travel with my bike extensively and after I pick up my new Indian, I probably won't be near that shop again for close to a year. Has anyone had experience using the pre-paid maintenance plan at shops other than the selling shop? Curious what your experience has been.

The oil seal on my right front fork of my 2015 Scout failed and made a mess of the bike and my apparel. Has anyone seen this problem and had to replace the seal? If so, did you replace it yourself or did you have the dealer do it? I have been riding for over fifty years and have never had to...

I'm getting close to my 5,000 mile service. I do realize that I can do the maintenance myself. I always serviced my Honda VTX so we don't need to go down that path. All I'd like to find out is what various dealerships charge for performing the complete 5K service.

Hello all, I took a look at my front brake pads, and noticed that they are getting close to being completely worn and are likely ready for replacement (no squeaking or grinding yet, so not an emergency). I would prefer to do my own maintenance, but haven't worked on a motorcycle's brakes...

I have a 2016 Roadmaster and am going on a 6,000 mile trip over 22 days. I just hit the 500 mile mark and will have the full service completed before I take off in May. I'm wondering if there will be any issues taking the bike on such a long trip without changing the oil or having any of the...

I didn't find a thread related to brands or methods. I know Its a simple subject but this is something that everyone had an opinion on. I just used FW1 Wash Wax for the bike and helmet, and it worked great. I've heard that pledge does a great job at keeping the bugs from sticking to the paint...

So I sat down and made a Maintenance sheet for the scout. I end up doing this for almost all my vehicles. I have attached both an Imperial and Metric Millage versions as pdfs. I figure you guys can use it just as much as I can. Enjoy

I had a quick question about installing a battery tender using the alligator clips that a lot of them come with. If I use these clips instead of the ring leads, do I still need to unscrew and remove the leads that connect the battery to the motorcycle? Or can I just leave them screwed in and...

I have found a number of YouTube videos on the web with useful information on how to perform various maintence operations on our bikes. It appears the videos were prepared by Indian or someone associated with a dealership. I am unable to find anything on the Indian website regarding the videos...
