  1. Indian Springfield
    Howdy all! I've got a 2019 Indian Springfield that's showing some signs of weird electrical issues. Couple weeks ago after shutting the bike off for about 15 minutes, I tried starting up again and it just clicked without turning over. Checked the volts on the LCD panel and it was about 11.5...

    So... I was taking my Honey to Barkhamstead Reservoir on a gorgeous late summer day when I realize my '17 Vintage is no longer charging! So I bring my Honey home and nurse it to the Indian dealer thinking it is probably the voltage regulator and a warranty item. It is chaos at the dealership...

    Is it just my bad luck or are there issues with the Indian voltage regulator? My 2017 Chieftain has been trouble prone.Many other electrical issues, all repaired under warranty. The dealer replaced my voltage regulator about a year ago. I had another failure but the warranty has expired. I...
  4. Indian Chief Vintage
    Nice temps today so I took her out for a nice cruise and here I sit on RT. 101 just south of the Oregon Border with what appears to be a battery that is done with. Got a check engine for low voltage then she went into safe mode and would not throttle up. She's reading 11.3 volts and the starter...

  9. Indian Chieftain
    Hey guys I'm looking for opinions. I have Chieftain and have been doing a lot of reading up. It appears that the Chieftains voltage regulators have a track record of going bad. Not isolated to a certain year but, all years. Talked to a guy that had his regulator replaced twice in three years...

  11. Indian Chieftain
    Add mine to a growing list of 111 owners who have had a voltage regulator problem. I told them that I thought this was the problem when I got it towed to the dealership. (By the way, Indian Roadside assistance worked exactly as it was supposed to! Kudos to Indian.) I read on this forum later...
  12. Indian Roadmaster
    On Saturday I planned a 225 mile ride to Daytona from South Florida. I headed out in the morning and while on the turnpike I noticed the battery light was flashing in red. I made my way of the turnpike and tried to get to the Indian dealer in Hobe Sound, Treasure Coast Indian. The dealer was...
  13. Indian Chief Classic
    I have a 2016 Chief Classic with 2350 miles. This year it has gone through 3 batteries and a voltage regulator. All have been covered under warranty but it has left me wondering if I should trade it for another brand before the warranty ends next June. Who else has had these issues?
  14. Indian Chieftain
    This is my assumption of course and will verify when the dealer checks it out. Symptom is my charging voltage (quite suddenly) dropped to 11.9 volts. I charged the battery and it measured 12.7 volts (all reading taken at the battery). I started the bike and the voltage dropped to 11.9 even with...

  16. Thunder Stroke 111 Common Problems/Issues
    I have a 2015 Roadmaster and going on a 2000 mile trip. How much of a problem is the voltage regulator? Should I buy one to carry with me just in case???
  17. Indian Roadmaster
    Heading up to Omaha from St. Louis to visit dad and take in the CWS with the girlfriend. Got 5 miles east of St. Joe on Hwy 36 and the RM started losing volts and then it shut down. Took all day Friday to get it back. Big St. Charles says it looks like its covered under the warranty. Big...
  18. Indian Motorcycle General Discussion
    My wife and I got on the bike to go for a ride today and about 5 miles from house the battery symbol on the dash started flashing. I looked at dash and battery voltage was 11.3. I've never owned a bike with these bells and whistles before so I called my dealer. He says my battery could go dead...
  19. Indian Motorcycle Tech Q & A
    :(Just turned over 6000 miles and my voltage regulator took a dump. At least that's what it appears to be. Chieftain is on her way to OC Indian for a visit.... Hope this doesn't turn into a bigger issue
  20. Thunder Stroke 111 Common Problems/Issues
    Out for a ride today and the radio and GPS started shutting off and on. Checked the voltage display and it read 11.9-12.1 volts except when the rpms got above 3k the it shot up to 14.4-ish. Got it home and checked the battery connections, both were tight. Battery read 12.2 on the meter. Now it's...
