    Traded my 2022 FTR Carbon

    Ya know, The Rockets claimed dry weight is 642lb and when I test rode it, it handled surprisingly well. Better than expected and the power off idle to 7K is great. Still, I will miss my 22 FTR Carbon and especially the 21 Kawasaki H2 SX SE. That bike, jezz, freak show. Super charged liter...

    Traded my 2022 FTR Carbon

    Oh yes sir. The old saying. There's always someone or something bigger and faster out there. The Boss Hoss has been putting the Chevy 502 on the bikes for awhile, but they do not handle at all.

    Traded my 2022 FTR Carbon

    Well, here's a good one. So I am always interested in any bike, and I got the chance to ride a 2022 Triumph Rocket 3G and all I can say is don't do it. I have never smiled and laughed so much when I test rode that bike. It was a Dealer Demo and it worked. Traded two bikes again for this one...

    2022 FTR Owner Report

    22 Carbon here. Delivered Dec of 2021. Only have 400 miles, but yes, still a little surging in the rpm's as everybody else and I always ride it in Sport mode. Only stalled once. Temps have only been in the 50's and 60's, but even at that temp, at stop lights, the cylinder deact kicks in a lot...

    Shifter Linkage mod

    So got this part today and put it on just as soon as I got home from work. I used the threads closest to the shift shift. Adjusted and went for a ride. I must say. I am impressed. Much shorter throw now. This should be stock ratio from the Factory. Most of my shifting complaints are gone.

    Shifter Linkage mod

    Ordered yesterday and found some from here in the USA from Ebay. Hopefull that this makes the shifts alittle quicker and shorter throw. This is the first USA bike I have ever had after almost 50 years on Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and 1 Suzuki, and the Indian transmission is just a little bit...

    Shifter Linkage mod

    Seems like I remember someone had a linkage part change to aid with the shifting on the FTR's. Like it was a reduced ratio to quicken the shifting. ' My other bike is a 2021 Kawasaki H2 SX SE and with a Quick Shifter. I really wish the FTR had a QS. But does anyone remember something about...

    New or like-new sale items!

    Wow, I like that Bag in the picture. I know it is probably in the link above, but anymore, I don't like to click on links as you just don't know. What bag is that and is there a bracket for it. Please, just type the name, Thanks

    Watch out for the stock chain.

    Kind a Funny, but normal. The Kawi Dealer had that chain way too tight! And the Indian dealer had the FTR just right at delivery. Good Job for Indian! I had bought the Harley Davison Belt tension tool years ago and still works just fine for the Chain Tensioning.

    Watch out for the stock chain.

    My 22 FTR Carbon now has only 185 miles, so still breaking it in. Had checked the Chain Tension when new, and after the weekend ride, I could tell by how the bike was shifting that the Chain was loose now. 6" of Snow now, so I will adjust before riding it again, whenever that is. I am also...

    Ordered the Indian Oil Change kit.

    So I had some Loyalty points to use, so I ordered my First Oil Change kit from Indian. I saw the weight of the Oil and it's 15W60. Wow, that is some thick stuff. That's like straight STP. Remember that stuff. That is wild as it is a Water Cooled Engine. Hopefully the clearances are not super...

    The dilemma of choosing a new motorcycle

    Looking for a new Bike. I have done that alot in the past. Right now, my 2 are the 22 FTR Carbon and a 21 Kawasaki H2 SX SE. But a couple of really nice bikes out there are the Yamaha Tracer 9GT and the Kawasaki Versys 1000. I did ride the Versys last year during a Kawasaki Rider Days and...
