I have to say that Indian has done a great job. I love my Moto but recently my local dealership let me down. I have a 2018 Scout that I bought new last July so only 2500 miles on it. Never driven in the rain, keep it garaged, etc. etc. - three weeks ago I got rear-ended at low speed. This meant I needed a rear fender put on so parts needed ordered. I was taken to the local Indian dealer (Iron Pony in Westerville Ohio). While I waited on the parts and repairs I asked how the bike would be stored. Inside they said. Well, after two weeks they are done. When I pick up the bike the clutch cable end is rusted, some hex nuts are oxidized, the rubber around the front turn signals is faded and gray (no longer black) and my leather fork back is hard and cracked - wet inside. Long story short, it was stored outside in the rain and not dried off. So now I have rusty parts and have to go through and clean every nook and cranny, grease and try to restore where oxidation was taking place. I know this is something that happens over time but I would never just leave my bike in the rain for days on end.
From now on I will be taking my ride to Indian of Toledo (where I bought it originally) 140 miles north of Columbus. Why did I buy it in Toledo? I couldn’t get a call back from Iron Pony. Guess I should have noted that and heeded the early warning. Too bad too because I really like the guys there and I buy stuff there all the time too.
That’s the end of my mini-rant. Not too bad and I still love my Indian.
