My Indian 116 kit upgrade on a dyno - See my results, take a quick ride on my Indian Springfield 

Glad you are happy with the tuning now. We made changes based on the data taken at Monkeyworks and sent them a total of 2 updated tunes to get it where it is at. Fueling from 2200-3k was off by less than 3% of "ideal". And that 3% is subjective to temp, humidity, and sensor deviation between the 2 dynos. HP and TQ will vary from dyno to dyno as well. We typically see about 109hp and 130 tq in house here on your same setup in a 70-80 degree lower humidity environment. The only real change we made was increasing the throttle response overall to where you wanted it to be which could have been done remotely without you taking it anywhere else. If you need any more changes please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly and we can do whatever you need. Appreciate the shout out for the work!

For new viewers this guy does a great job getting new info. Definitely worth the View !

Seemed like a lot of issues in the beginning, but in the end, well worth it. Great to see your smile as you rode. That sums it up.

Luv the video, and Wow the numbers tell it all thinking to do the same, on my 2017 Springfield.

Congrats Glad it all worked out for you

Congratulations! I’m considering taking my 16 chieftain to 116. Your making it easy to make the decision. I love the look on you face when you missed 2nd. Priceless,

To be clear, The tune was actually tweaked remotely by RVS Performance with Monkey Works making the changes. ALso the previous tuned Stage 2 dyno'd out at 90hp and 113.6 ft lbs of torque

Hey you got a free rinse for the bike, and shower for yourself hahaha. Looks great after the tune. Numbers sound good too, congrats. Looking forward to see what transpires later in the fall when you can get it back. Just rolled my RM over 3300 miles since the end of May. Man I am so impressed with this Indian! Best decision I ever made to get it!

I don't like riding in the rain myself, I forgot that my Challenger was in sport mode and I got a little bit squirly, lessen learned.

I’m in Minnesota....I’ll have to look into them to tune my 111...love your videos!

Love the challenger chief lights you added.... I like to do that on mine as well.

Sounds good glad you are happy ride safe

Look forward to riding with you again! We can check it out!

Thanks for the honest report! Im a big fan of customer service too, Ive even left places due to lack of care. I love the rain, here in Arizona Im looking for rain to ride in...call me stupid...😂

Love your rain ride.

Gone to stage one on my 16 Chieftain. By this time next year I hope to have saved enough quarters to go all in for dyno’d 116. Thanks for info, you’ve sold me!

I'm glad you're happy , I have to admit thow I have never understood the whole more power... More power thing .. ride safe my friend .

Sounds and looks like it has woken up!!

With those kind of dyno numbers you won’t need the new Challenger. Very Impressive my friend😎👍

Sounds great

I know you’re loving that! I went from a stock vaquero to stage one that put it at 95hp/119 tq and it was night and day. Now I ride a brand new challenger and it’s so bad ass. My wife rides a scout and have been thinking of starting a channel myself.

Hey it's me tom from Facebook. Always wanted to ride an Indian. they just aren't very common over here in the UK. Harley reigns supreme in the cruiser world here along with triumph.

What a fiasco, glad your tuned in. She looks good......ride safe brother

Wow she is moving!

Thanks for sharing your experience(s). I often think about performance mods/tuning/etc. but the wide variation of experiences getting the bikes retuned properly keeps me apprehensive. If I just run high octane (102) gas, then my stock 111 has plenty of snort for me. Granted, If I didn't have this option, I'd be looking at upgrades! Glad it finally worked out for you, Cheers.

Your little show is very cool. I’m going to buy a 2022 Springfield or the dark Horse Springfield but I like the Two-tone colors off basic Springfield. Do think there’s a big difference in engine power or do you think I would be happy with the stock engine power of the regular Springfield. I’m a newer ride just moving up from my smaller Harley 750. I hope I’m as happy with the Springfield as much as you are. Do you recommend any upgrades to do to the bike? I don’t want to void warranty just want to longer rides with my buddies without feeling like my backs going to break in half. Thanks and keep up the good work 👍

You make great videos

Ive been waiting for this video, FINALLY.... question! My stalls at times when its idling and I rolled the throttle, it idles low and its like it chokes and I believe it happens due to running lean. Did yours do that? And if I did, did the tune fix it?

I had my 18 dark horse Dyno, and tuned by coastal Indian out of myrtle beach, at bike week, 111 thunder stroke , no cams stage one air cleaner and pipes from dnd out of Texas. 86 hp and torque was at 116 ft lbs.

had you attempted a tune from Craig B/Fuel Moto?

I love it Brain

That's a nice Indian shirt.

Sorry you had to go through such BS... But you definitely seem stoked with how the bike feels.... that's makes it worth the work, enjoy 😎

Call coastal a Indian in myrtle beach, will fix the tune and they specialize in Indian and victory. They can remote tune your 116 with average 109 HP and 137 tq dyno Proven.

Awesome, I can hardly wait to get a bike that can do 100hp!

It's that Italian work ethic you're dealing with.

Sounds good , just don’t launch yourself into a tree with all that POWER !!!!!! Take care my Friend 🥴👍

Wonder why no filming. Thanks for showing us man.

Riding a 17 SPRINGFIELD with stage 2 cams. She goes pretty good but I wanted to ask you what think about swapping for 121 . I've only been watching you , Barb n the fellas for a couple of months but so far very entertaining. I'm out here So. Cal.(HARLEY COUNTRY). Keep the videos coming.

Great video. Appreciate your content. Do you have an idea of how many hours of labor they charged you on this?

Did you install lloyds 585 cams also or is that the cams from the stage 3 kit? I know you're losing some power with the true duals. But imo the sound is worth the few hp/TQ loss.

great Video again! Had recently contact will LIoydz, asking for the 558 cam and what about changing the springs, because my bike is from 2016. For engines older than 2019 they recommend always changing the springs when you wanna upgrade the cams, even the original stage 2 ones. Means, the engine has to be taken out anyway and so I am wondering why not doing an upgrade to 116 or even 121 from Lloydz if the engine is out anyway. I can see how you like it! What about the smoothness, still smooth cruising possible if you turn the throttle carefully? Regards, Björn

I want a 2022 Springfield and I’m not much into speed but I want a reliable engine with enough power for short and long rides. Is the 111 thunder stroke engine sufficient for my needs? Of course I need power to pass on Freeway but kinda want to keep everything stock. FWI I drive the fast lane and don’t like to slow people down so maybe 80 average with no traffic.? Thanks for listening too my dumb Questions but I’m a beginner driver that wants to mice up too something bigger and more comfortable so I can go on long

Am seriously lookin' at the 2021 Vintage 111 at Boston Indian, Massachusetts, Mom's .... ((actually located in Revere., named after that Mr.PaulRevere., you know the guy who rode thru the countryside on a horse yelling at the top of his lungs. He would have ridden an Indian I'm sure, if that whole story had played out in the 21st century.))

I am wondering where you got your handle bars? I have a 2015 Vintage and I am being told by Indian they don’t make them for my bike.

My only slight hesitation: Is it still herky jerky in lower RPM's after the Dyno tune? I remember you mentioning it when you first upgraded to the 116. Thank you in advance for your answer.

Sorry pressed the send button but you know what I mean. 👍

Nice bars too, how tall are you, I'm 5'9" and like my bars right about shoulder height or a little lower.

Can you list what upgrades you are running? What exhaust? Head pipes? Stage 2 Kit from Indian (cams/throttle body/injectors)? Thx

12:14 If it starts off slow, your exhaust probably doesn't produce enough back pressure. That means there's a big dip in torque in the low revs (below 3500). If you have dB killers or if you've removed your baffles, put them (back) in, and the roll-on performance will improve noticeably. A Stage II 116" should be able to provide awesome torque from the get go. You shouldn't need to go full throttle and then wait until you hit 3000~3500 RPM before the bike starts to really accelerate.

Nice video! Don't mind the turd that started complaining about you trailering a bike. There is always a keyboard coward hiding behind the computer lobbing insults. He's probably just jealous that bad ass bike you got lol!!!

What kind of MPG do you get with the 116 BBK and tune now?

Did you notice a temperture change? I'm going to my dealer tomorrow and have a Lloyd's remote turn

Now u need llyods stage 2 cams from Indian in charlotte NC

Guess who’s going to be going through a lot of rear tires now!🤣

114 HP/134 TQ is achievable with the 116 BBK.

Now I want to get mine tuned. Dammit, hot tub or bike tune for the winter?

G'day Guys, my Indian Red/Thunder Black 2015 Chief Classic with just under 3000 miles (Or just under 4500 k's for any Aussies like me, that are reading this....) & just over $9,000 USD or $12,500 AUD in Upgrades & Factory Accessories... that I finally found after a 3 year search, at Heritage Indian in Rogers, North West Arkansas... is around 10 days away from finally arriving in Brisbane, Queensland. Firstly, a HUGE !!! shout out to Joe Carr, head of the Sales Team at Heritage Indian in Rogers, an absolutely top bloke & truly one of natures Gentlemen !!!! Who has looked after me like a silkworm throughout the whole daunting process of purchasing an Indian Chief sight unseen from the other side of the planet & realising one of my lifelong dreams...The reason for my post is that I have ordered the 116 Kit for my baby which I am having installed & hopefully tuned (Properly) before I drive up from Coffs Harbour in NSW to pick her up... The question I have for all you 'Indian Gurus' out there on the Interweb, is, why does the 116 Kit for my Bike, a 2015 Indian Chief Classic, not appear to have a set of heads with it...? & therefore can I expect the same level of power increases as the 116 Kits for the later model bikes..? And for anyone wondering why I went for a 2015 Chief instead of a new bike with a 116 from factory is because I specifically wanted the Indian Red/Thunder Black paint scheme with Black leather saddle & it only came out on the 2015 Chief Classic.... I did actually offer to pay a $10,000 USD non refundable deposit, if the factory would paint me a new bike the colours I wanted & was told basically "Piss off we are not a Custom Bike Shop..." hence the beginning of my global search for a an extremely low Mile 2015 Chief Classic..... any advice or answers on my question about the 116 Kit would be greatly appreciated, Love the videos guys !!!! keep up the good work !!!! Cheers Guys, Scott Stanford, Australia #Harleys make good boat anchors !!!!

What cams are you running with the 116 kit ?

What were your final HP and TQ numbers?

I have to check out the Indians up close one of these days. I've been thinking about getting a Vtwin. I ride a BMW now, I'd keep it if I got something else, had a couple vulcans before the beemer. Harelys are very nice too, but it seems they require a lot of mods to get it right. Indian seems to be a little more complete.

Yeah so what spec ?

Riding in the rain blows! It would be helpful if when you report tech info you would give us a summary of your mods or what was done. When watching on TV you can't see text notes or even comment. You are in circulation but it doesn't sequence your videos that come up.

Kills me how people think that these bike shops can just drop everyone else's bikes and jump on their's. Most bike shops have more work than they can handle.

Looks like you'v got yourself a license looser there, what next "turbo"

That whole "it's our property" BS. Well, I assume you paid for the canned tune. So I would argue that it's now your property. Also, I love Indian bikes. I do. In many ways they are superior to HD. But until the aftermarket and Indian get the engine performance on par, they will be in a sales pickle. We built my '15 Road Glide Twin Cam to 113". It makes 135 lb/ft and 126 hp at the rear tire. No dick measuring here. But the Thunderstroke platform remains limited in output potential, I think mainly due to the heads.

Sounds like a complete nightmare.

All for more power where more power is not needed.

Rain sucks and so does a soaked wallet

Man, screw the guys flapping their jaw about hauling the bike and the rain. My guess is that they don't ride at all.

comment

There is zero excuse for a business to act that way l. If they are too busy. They need to hire more techs or stop accepting new business

To make a long story short folks; stay stock.
