hi guys,
I bought my bike in November of 2019!
a little less than a month after I had the issue of the cold start.
Indian announced and did a recall on the fuses.
after changing them a few hundred metres away from the dealership in the traffic light once again the engine turned off again.
since then until today I've been having, apart from the engine stalling, another couple of issues from time to time.
from sport mode one day I noticed that it was changed into standard mode by itself ( that happened only once )
the fuel indicator even though Its fully loaded shows that it's 90% full. after 3 switch off and on is shown correctly ( that doesn't happen all the times )
the auto setting of the screen theme is not recognizing some times when it's day or night and it stays white during the night time and I have to manually change it even it is on the auto mode
But most of all my main issue is when my bike stays on neutral or when I'm changing gear ( that millisecond that I'm pressing the clutch ) the engine stops working and it restarts my screen.that has happened more than a dozen times.
the most dangerous part of that was when I was running with 160klmtr on the highway and when I wanted to change into fifth gear on a big left turn when I pressed the clutch to change the gear the engine stopped working!that has happened only once
from December till today I've been going to the dealership to do an ECU reading and sending all the reports back to POLARIS.
nothing has changed so far.
during the ECU reading, there is always a '' C2431: Inertial Measurement Unit ( IMU )'' indication on the diagnostics and many other faulty issues but not so serious to switch off my engine ( this is what I've been told from the head mechanic from my dealership )
yesterday my dealership send a huge email with all my history reports and a big unhappy customer warning to Indian headqurters
To be honest I am really satisfied with the performance of my bike and I really love it.
but I'm not sure what my legal rights are!
even though I have a 2-year warranty and won't pay a penny I'm a bit unsatisfied with all these technical issues.
I personally believe is a faulty ECU and needs to be replaced but can I claim to be given a new bike if the problem isn't fixed?
This Monday I'm going to give my bike to the dealership to do their testings with the Polaris instructions and I will be given an Indian bobber till they fix it or as soon as they have any conclusion. The dealership doesn't have any clew of what is happening with my bike!
Has anybody, apart from the cold start, had any further issues with their ftr 1200 s?
Can you please give me any help with similar experiences ?
thanks a lot,
Panos.
