💭 After my maiden ride on my custom 2022 Indian Chief, or at least the longest, I’d find a major issue caused by my own doing. It would involve pulling back some covers to find the problem and learning from my mistakes to fix it.

There is a difference between the transmission going BOOM and just taking a nap!! As long as you can travel in gear, you can still get there!! BOOM means you get to trailer it.😅😅

@BrandonBicasso 2 месяца назад

The Boom was for dramatic effect, but totally agree.

Good job! The Thunderstrokes transmissions are bullet proof, just like the engine is.

@RVBIRD 2 месяца назад

Use paint markers, make a mark on the bolt heads when you put locktite on, and a different color when you torque, then you have a non questionable visual.

I have to say, that shift mechanism looks a little janky. I feel you on the snap ring pliers. I have spent the past 30 years buying cheap ones because I rarely needed them but when I did I was always frustrated with the cheap ones breaking. Last year I bought a set of ICON snap ring plier set. They worked great and then went back into the tool box to sit for another several years until I need them again.

@BrandonBicasso 2 месяца назад

I now have a set of ICON as well. Love them! Shift mechanism may look jank but it’s reliable when installed correctly. 🤘🏾

I noticed the alignment of your handlebars is slightly off as well. It is lower on the left hand side. Look at it when you line up the two forks

@BrandonBicasso 2 месяца назад

It's been sorted, but some of that is the camera too. It sits more to the right than left. Good eye.

@backyardr.c.channel4732 2 месяца назад

Great video man. Question I have is does the compression sleeves on your arms stop your hands from going numb when riding? I notice after a few miles my hands go numb while riding.

@BrandonBicasso 2 месяца назад

Yes, they help with circulation so could possibly help reducing numbing caused by a lack of circulation. Affects everyone else differently but when it’s hot out on a vibrating engine, it helps.

Kuryakyn Kinetic mini boards. I like these A LOT. Bigger than a peg but smaller than a floorboard.

Did you have to adjust the clutch cable at all? My engagement point / friction zone is all the way at the end of the clutch travel. Noticed this on my friends chief as well. Is there a fix ?

@BrandonBicasso 2 месяца назад

I only set the cable to the free play spec. That's the only place to adjust the clutch system on Thunderstrokes. If it's biting too far out, I would check the free play using a tape measure and try adjusting it. I also run stock plates/cable too so could be different if using an aftermarket solution.

@Ramibiker2023chief 2 месяца назад

@@BrandonBicasso it’s a brand new bike. It’s something the dealer should be able to handle for me (I hope). Also I scored a deal on an Indian air cleaner. The round one. Is it something easy to install for a beginner like myself or should I leave it to the dealer to do it? Tech asked $250

@BrandonBicasso 2 месяца назад

Oh yeah you could totally install that yourself. If it doesn't come with a calibration card, just bolt it on. The card is used to flash the ECM with a new tune. Won't hurt anything if you install it without, but would run better with it. And it's probably adjusted at the edge from factory. It can be adjusted for a bit more free play.

@Ramibiker2023chief 2 месяца назад

@@BrandonBicasso thanks man. You’re literally my go to guy for all things Indian. I’m getting a lloydz tune once I get that air cleaner on. Already have a set of stage 1 Indian slip ons installed so was just waiting to build the courage to go for the air cleaner install myself! Thanks again brotha

@Ramibiker2023chief 2 месяца назад

@@BrandonBicasso hey one more thing. So I already have stage 1 Indian slipons, would it be safe to add the air cleaner with that on the stock factory tune (temporarily). I am getting a lloydz tune in a month or 2. Just worried I’d jack the engine up if it’s too much flow. I know they run these engines hella lean from the factory
