Roads have slope built in to allow water to run off. If I remember correctly, alignment shops will compensate for this on 4 wheel vehicles to prevent drift. Obviously on two wheels, you compensate for that naturally by leaning. You also may have more left turns in your routes? Check your axle...

What plate mount is that?

If I recall from this video correctly when Fortnine released it, he determined fuel stabilizer is basically frauding people out of money. I just keep it topped off fully and no tender but I do make an excuse to jump on it on nice days every couple weeks minimum and ride around the neighborhood...

Aussie and US both together as UK rejects… Wouldn’t have it any other way! Cheers. 🇺🇸

Agreed. When I romped on a dirt road with my Scout the belt chirped all the way home with all the dust. A chain is definitely better for the FTRs intended use.

Right…. You are correct. I’m sure the partnership with Indian and Roland Sands was testing the waters for interest in what they had in the pipeline and the FTR was likely already in development. Would have been silly for me to say all that just making a small offhand comment about a belt drive...

The RSD Indian Scout tracker is the initial inspiration for the FTR. Increasing the suspension travel, they added a tension pulley. You might be right with the swingarm but I’m happy they went with the chain. A belt is much easier on the maintenance though. Notice the pulley mid way.

The Scout is belt drive. My point is, it seemed to work well. I was expecting the FTR to be belt drive before it was officially released.

Beautiful. Love that the FTR looks as much at home here as the track above. Not the best at anything but one of the best all around bikes out there.

I’ve seen Tony Carbajal “ride hard” on these bikes. I doubt the OP or many people push a chain that hard. I agree, seems improperly adjusted to have to replace so often. On a slightly related note, I would not have been upset if they used the RSD Scout pulley tensioner design for the FTR. Maybe...

Have you done the latest ride command update? From what I’ve noticed it might be better at viewing stored trouble codes. As far as the cause, I would bet intermittent cylinder misfire on warmup but obviously just guessing.
