Indian Challenger Air Filter Inspection and Maintenance - Indian Motorcycle 

As a Harley guy, I must say I'm liking Indian more and more. As a do it yourself-er when it comes to bike maintenance I must say, that's a piss poor spot for an air filter. Almost as bad as the 1500 goldwings. That being said, the how to videos are great. Every dealer should be doing them.

That's a joke someone should have lost there job for designing that

i have a 2010 victory cross country with 91k miles. This process is exactly the same for air filter change, same location. However, i can raise and slide it back enough without disconnecting anything on the gas tank to change the filter. I will be trading in my XC this year for a challenger. I'm ready to do it now, but I will wait a few months to see what changes, if any, are for the 2021 models. Maybe new colors? Ruby smoke darkhorse would be awesome, with matte black Indian logos on the tank. To the powers that be at Indian: please add Sirius sat radio. But without the $400 price tag that victory had for the official OEM add-on. Speaking of accessory prices, did your marketing people work at HD? $410 for front crash bars? It's bent tube! Maybe $20 in material. If you really want to put the bitch slap on HD, more accessories with reasonable prices will sell more bikes.

Just a heads-up, if you have a California model the vent line is in a different place. It's under the right hand V cover.

Definitely looking for an aftermarket air cleaner to mount on the right side in place of dummy cover and eliminate the redundant factory air box completely. That's just stupid.

Same location as the Victory Coss Country. For the 2021 model, the fuel pump connector is under the center tank console

No way I'm buying a bike with the air filter under the gas tank... That said, I'm all in with a brand that produces quality diy videos.

Have you informed the Indian forums that these how to posts are available?

That's complicated for an air filter. Hope the engineers redraw that one.

Although it’s annoying it’s still not as hard as a Goldwing.

Looks easy enough. Not like changing the air filter on a Goldwing!

What about the cable running under the tank that isn't addressed in this video. There are no accessible connectors. If you're going to make a how-to video, at least use an actual bike with ask the parts. The tank can not be removed from the bike as shown.

What a pain in the arse just to change the air filter. On my 2021 Challenger the fuel vent line is behind the RHS side V cover & the fuel pump plug & fuel cap release are under the panel on top of the tank

What were they thinking? They weren’t! I won’t be buying one of theses!

Only the goldwing beats this..
