100%. LOL. The first time I took the tank off it was damn near full and didn’t even think about until I went to lift it off the bike. This time it was empty
My tank actually got replaced under warranty because of a factory blemish and the day I brought it to my dealer I wasn't thinking. Filled right to the top 🤣.... We all had a good laugh
😂 Been there, done that, got the t shirt, Kerry. What's really silly is, I forget the mistake I've made the next time I come to having to remove the tank! 😬🇦🇺
Thanks for the helping hand I finally put the k&n in the challenger like I have in every other vehicle and you were right pain in the butt cutting off the zip ties
Hi Brian would love more info, and detailed video on just the custom dynamics lights when you are done. Also i used to use the "Common Sense" torque wrench until I started not having enough common sense. So for most things I now use the torque wrench. Too many bolts are going into brass, or aluminum and not much room for errors. Also the tech manuals for these bikes are easily found on line. I use it for torque specs. Appreciate you! ✌️
Some clever chap needs to design an after market modification, involving mounting a K&N filter ,for instance, in a much easier place than under the tank.
Wow !!! I thought when you added the side air filter, it replaced (didn't need) the under the tank one anymore ? Guess I got some wrong information. Good tech video. Looking forward to the next one, soon.
That side filter is just an add on, and it honestly doesn't do a heck of alot. Depending on who you talk to it's worthless. But it does look nicer IMO and can't hurt. It does not replace the main filter.
Regarding the ugly nut on the tank, you could find a decorative cover with a rare earth magnet glued to it that will magnetically attach to said ugly nut. 💡💡🇦🇺
The hoses are meant to stay with the tank when you remove it. That is why they are zipped tied. Disconnect the fuel hose at the throttle body and the vent at the base of the tank.
Well that makes sense!! LOL to be honest I followed those lines down and it looked like a real pain to get to them so I just did it my way. Maybe your bike has a different config
I added the grease but I am not happy with the seal. There is just not enough of a lip to seal. I pulled the filter back out and didn't see where the grease was even displaced. This is concerning to me.
@@NormKohn the OE has foam rubber to seal. I am not sure this is any better. There is no way to gage compression as is. The inside surface of the frame-air box is not entirely flat because it is not a machined surface. There is room for improvement here.
Got to take the tank off to change the air filter.. WTH. That's going backwards, isn't it.. That's ridiculous. Changed mine on the RM in 2 mins.. Didn't get to see the pretty lights no fair.
Engineers are not common-sense people. Terrible design by Indian. Probably have to go with a Harley after all. Thank you for the video it helped with a tough decision.
Polaris creates far more work than it needs to be to install or clean an air filter than it needs to be. Doesn't seem like Polaris put a lot of thought into this or they want the average rider taking the bike in. 1 more reason why i wont go back to Polaris Indian. I know, you will say i am bias because i call it a Polaris but thats because Indian is a division within the Polaris organization. Its not an independent company so it will always be Polaris Indian
