Is the rubber pad on the kickstand there to kick it up if you forget like an old Honda?

Good video brother! The pegs have feelers on them, the reason that they aren't retractable is so when your riding hot in corners the last thing you need is your peg retracting in mid corner possibly losing your footing on the peg. As for the stand, it certainly is a good safety feature not being able to start the bike without retracting it. However and I'm 150 years old and never had a issue, my feeling is you should have a mental check list or focused enough to remember the stand. As for the heat my Vrod did the same thing! Indian may make a heat deflector to help out. Again great video brother! Ride hard or stay home😎

@BrandonBicasso

6 жыл бұрын

Absolutely, Jim. The peg feelers is just me nitpicking. It's one of those things I've seen people fiddle with before at stop lights. Never had to deal with it until now and it had me thinking... why?! But yeah, it's a mental note now. I don't even think about it anymore so I swing my foot either farther out or back to put it on the peg to not have the issue.

@SmallSpoonBrigade

6 жыл бұрын

It is good to have that list, but things happen. The lack of a kickstand sensor is a poor decision. The kickstand sensor isn't just about helping when you forget to put it up, it's also about preventing the bike from riding away without you if, for some reason, the bike shifts into gear while you're starting it up. Theoretically, that shouldn't happen, but if you've got a messed up tranny, or you accidentally knock the shift lever you really don't want to have your bike riding away without you and possibly causing a lot of damage. I always leave my kickstand down when I warm the bike up because I'd rather deal with killing the engine if I shift rather than it riding away unexpectedly.

Brandon the first two suggestions are definitely strong safety points !! good catch!

The heat problem while sitting at a light is very noticeable. I have a Victory Octane (basically the same bike as a Scout). This is the first video where I've heard anybody else mention it. For me, the heat is only an issue on the right side of the bike where the pipes are. You will scald your upper, inner thigh if wearing shorts. I mentioned this to a dealer and they said they never heard of this issue before. I am glad that someone else has noticed this problem. To reduce this problem, I am thinking about adding some wraps on the pipes but I don't know how effective that will be. As was said in the video, while moving, it is not a problem. My previous bike was a Victory Hammer and I never had the head problem with it.

Useful info. Thank you!

I think it's strange how you're experiencing that much heat sitting. I have a scout sixty and sitting at a light it CAN reach 200+ but the fan kicks in then, so it's not that bad; in any case I've never thought it was too hot. Maybe it's a bobber issue?

Possibly. Fan does kick in but that heat still cooks the thighs.

On my 2006 carburettor T100 Triumph Bonneville, the pegs always spring down flat. The bike will cut out and not start with the side stand down. You have a brand new motorcycle and have neither. Both are major safety issues. You need to address that. Plus I never have any heat issues with the engine. Saying that...what a beautiful bike, always love the Indian brand. Great videos too, man

Not sure where the cats are on this bike, but if you removed them with the pipe change and it's still really hot, you may want to consider a fuel controller to richen it up at slow/cruising speeds.

The sidestand is designed so that if touches down while moving it will retract immediately instead of lifting the bike back up...they are specifically tested and homologated to meet this requirement which allows them to avoid needing an interlock to kill the bike if it goes in gear (saves money). harley davidson's do the same thing

+SharkGlide17 Yeah, weird part is putting the bike on the kick stand while it's in gear or neutral. Sure, you should know better, but I've slipped up before and been caught by the kill switch in the kick stand.

Shit i want one of these so damn bad im 100% getting one in about a year or 2 but seeing as i barley learned how to ride ima give my self some time but great video and beautiful bike bro

Yeah, gonna be looking for an upgrade when it's time to change them.

It doesnt look like you have removed the tail lights yet to install a rack or passenger seat. I have and what a nightmare. The four holes that the allenkey bolts go in on the tail light assembly are badly machined and after only changing twice I have stripped the thread. so until i can get them repaired I have duct tape holding my talilights on to my brand new Bobber. Its like putting a moustache on the Mona Lisa!

Jack Roberts I haven't gotten that far but thanks for the nightmare heads up, lol.

Riding with the kickstand down would be a concern. On my BMW 800GS, the bike will cut out if it's on, in gear and you put the kickstand down. And you can't start the engine with the bike in gear and the kickstand down.

Just had a look today and the European model doesn't have the kickstand issue. It has the kill switch built in. One less thing to worry about.

So, in Europe, ABS is standard and kickstand kill switch is there. Two very good things.

Interesting, does that apply if you also have the clutch in? Because it should allow that on the off chance that you stall in traffic. It can be annoying to have to shift it into neutral in order to get it started again. I don't have the problem often, but there've been a couple times when I stalled the engine of my Ninja and got it running again without stopping first. Which is very hard to do if you've got to shift into neutral to start the engine.

The tank is double skinned. At least one engineer on the forums was adding an extra gallon by converting it to a single skin. A mod well worth making for distance usage.

There are extended reach and foot pegs specifically for people over 6' sold by Indian for the Scout Bobber. I say go sit on one and see if they have a set up that you can demo.

@NCooper289

There is an extended reach package you can have the dealer add. It includes handle bars that move the controls about 1.5 forward. Pedals and pegs get moved 1.5 inches forward and a seat that moves you back 1.5 inches.. The dealer might have to adjust the rear suspension for your weight as the bikes are set up for about a 180 to 200 lb rider..

You’re in Alabama?! Nice!

You feel heat, especially idling in traffic on a hot day,from rear cylinder on any V-twin. Don't leave kickstand down or rely on a switch.

Very true.

all my Victorys will start and ride away with the stand down. The stand will not retract automatically . I have 2 Victory Visions and Indian Roadmaster. The Roadmaster being the hotter of the 2 brands . The heat is fine, even welcome in the winter. I am going to remove the cats or put Freedom true dual headers on it. I have read that will reduce the heat.

Late to the party.... I bought my bobber and rode it home 150 miles and kept bumping the pegs. They went up and never came down. I agree with the wondering way they didn't add a return spring.

Things to keep it less money. Just something to be sure of.

I haven't seen a stock side stand without a kill switch in quite a while. You think they'd at least mount the pegs so they fall back if they were going to go springless. Floor boards are great for road bikes like that. No shoes hitting the pavement or getting windlifted, you can move legs around on long rides and lift off the saddle without pulling on the bar. Nice backing track, but in this context it's distracting from your content in my opinion. Ride safe.
