Brandon I gotta say, I’ve been a subscriber for several years now and it’s awesome to see how far you’ve come with mechanical skills and your video quality. You seem to be a great brand ambassador for Indian as well, hopefully they notice.
Indian should send you a monthly check for the great representation you give them on a regular basis. Your skill and product knowledge of Indian bikes has really grown, and add to that your excellent video creation chops have a quality that few content providers possess. Indian, if you read this; show Brandon some love. He is doing you quite a service! Peace
My goodness...from allen wrenches struggling in the back yard too fully indepth builds!? Making yourself a biker legend in 10 years you will be the guy to ask. The wizard.
I had an experience with the Thunderstroke. I was changing the clutch. Pulled primary cover and in the process the shift paw came out of position. Put it back together and it wouldn’t shift. Had to disassemble again and had to place the paw over star wheel in the correct position. Definitely can’t compare to your experience but shows how something so simple can complicate things.
This is awesome to see how the Thunderstroke truly works. Also it is very informative and interesting. Thanks for doing all the hard work for us Brandon.
Brandon, use the red tacky assembly lube on your right case bearing where's crankshaft goes through. Also use it on all exposed roller bearings. Great Channel, great positive attitude!!!!!!!
This is a really great video. Your self-teaching skills are impressive. I like your enthusiasm for the brand, too. Too much Indian bashing out there on other channels (looking at you, STS).
Brandon, Do you have any experience with making a frame and then getting it “Titled” I’m looking at a couple different big scout engines but the frames are toast
La transmisión primaria y secundaria van primero luego se montan los forks y luego va tu tambor que es el shifter drum, start from the bottom, top and middle
Great video! Question. Do you feel the unit construction is better than tbe m8? I ask because I wonder of the heat from the 116 crank and engine is finding it's way to the transmission.
I couldn’t tell you as I haven’t torn apart a M8. Most of the heat from the TS (felt anyway) is the rear cylinder. So it would be above those components.
You failed because it in not a motorcycle motor in the 1st place. Motors are electrically driven devices. This is a gasoline fueled ENGINE! Getcher nomenclatures straight, Bro!
@kingadaroad6595 Looks like you never cracked open a Webster dictionary. Maybe you should learn to spell your own username right before you start telling mechanics that they don't know what they're talking about. He did a good job rebuilding this motor.
You didn't fail brother. You learned what not to do. It's different when you reword it the right way. This life is meant to be a classroom but some turn it into a courtroom by casting judgment on fellow imperfect people. Keep on keeping on, I feel like you're doing an excellent job!!
Have you considered using “three bond sealer” on the crankcase surfaces? It applies easily & seals perfectly! Good stuff! Love your videos bro! You’re a good teacher!
I shoulda got your help rebuilding the engine in my semi. Maybe I’d be back on the road now. But as for the thunderstroke engine and trans design it looks so advanced to actually be so simple
I don't know dude, this buying wrecked bikes and fixing them seems like more trouble than it's worth. I plan on doing some giveaway bikes too but, I'm just going to buy used bikes and fix them up with upgraded aftermarket parts. Good luck man, I know these projects can't be easy.
