Hi there!
It is so nice to find you all here!
After going through 8 (different) Japanese motorcycles since 1984, finally I decided to go American
I picked up my new FTR1200 S two days ago and I fell instantly in love !! I never had the V-twin experience and its a revelation to me.
However, I have issues with the ride command and the digital instrument. The fuel gauge does not work (it always shows the same level), so to avoid running out of fuel I have to do the maths in my head while missing apex after apex in my first rides. Which I guess is easy to happen with the 13 lt tank..
Has anybody tried to update or re-install the software for the 2023 FTR ? There is nothing available on the INDIAN website. They only offer updates for up to the 2022 models..
And has anybody had issues with the fueling ? Some times it runs with momentary interuptions (like mini-hickups) if you keep the throttle steady. I tried the cruise control and had the same effect. Like cutting on fuel for an instant again and again.. I think it may be related to the software issue.
(I know, I should take her to the dealership, but it is weekend and i will be away for work for the next few days, and I am anxiously trying to guess if it is something easily fixable or I am in for big troubles...)
Goodnight from Athens (Greece)
