Finesse The Challenger
United States
Registrace 24. 07. 2007
I am an Indian Motorcycle Ambassador and a retired Air Force Logistics and Transportation Senior Non-Commissioned Officer. During my amazing 20 year career I traveled across the globe meeting amazing people and experience even more amazing cultures. Once I retired I decided that I want to travel the United States and what better way to do that than on America's 1st motorcycle, Indian, specifically my 2021 Indian Challenger Dark Horse. On this channel I take you along with me as I experience ownership of the Indian Motorcycle brand while meeting people and traveling to different destinations.

Custom Bars For The Indian Motorcycle Challenger! Also, Final Holiday Giveaway Details
Nice well done video. Thinking real hard about buying one. I did sit on one at the dealer. Being that I am a little thicker. Did not like the back of the seat curving up in the back. Smashed the family jewels on the tank. Still thinking about getting one.
🤣 yeah gotta protect the jewlz. I would definitely do a demo, it’s a fun bike.
The new 2024 Road Glide is flat ugly and cheap looking no more painted inner fairing the tank is square looking jsut dont look good i just traded my 2019 Road Glide for a 2024 Pursuit i do not like Harley's new hand controls
Yeah, I didn't like the move by HD with taking away the different trim levels making everything a base model with the non-painted inner fairings. IMO they took a step backwards in that regard. It was a sneaky way to lower cost, which is good, but that's only for people that work on their own bikes for anyone else that has dealerships install parts IDK if there is really any savings over having the different trim levels like an RG/SG special vs the base... but I could be wrong. Congratulations on your Pursuit!
Nice bike
Indeed... I would scoop one up if I was in the market for a Roadmaster for sure!
Hi Finesse. Just an off-topic question if that's OK. I test drove a Pursuit few weeks ago. Since I had no experience what so ever with Indian or HD bikes, I was surprised that the HD clutch was so heavy.... and the Indian was so damn light? I ride a 2020 Triumph Rocket GT with an hydraulic clutch, and the Indian clutch was even lighter than that. First few moments I even thought it was broken. Are all Indian clutches so light? Or was this one maybe a customized one? Grtz and thx for your videos man !!
As far as I know, all the IMC clutches feel about the same and yes, they are lighter and smoother (larger friction zone) in my opinion than most other bikes that I have been on.
You missed a small piece of the History. Before Indian, there was Victory for Polaris, The Second American bike that was in production. Then they purchased Indian. (Only for the name)
Copy that, and you can still see some of the Victory DNA woven into the Indian Motorcycle brand with some of the "new" models like the Challenger and Pursuit and the revamping of the Scout lineup as well. It was meant as more of a quick summary about the challenger than a complete breakdown.
TD Evans was the mayor during race riot. They don't tell you he was a known Democrat and Klan member. All those killed were black Republicans...
Appreciate the look, I’m Geno with the Springfield 💪🏾💯 keep up the good work..
Yessir! Appreciate the support!!
What size extensions did you use ??
I ordered the kit plus the extra extensions that I had on the screen. I am not sure exactly what I used but I did have one or two extensions left over.
Good stuff Finesse! Let me know when I can take my Challenger bike to you for repairs 😂
HAHA, let's get it!
Thanks. The overlay of leg position you did at 29:30 was helpful. I was wondering if it was just me.
LOL yeah, that's the first thing I notice when I hop on a HD, not that it's bad it's just different from what I am used to. Ergonomics go a long way for me when I am looking at riding a motorcycle for longer than a couple hours.
Both awesome bikes, your great at reviews man. Thank you
Thanks, glad you found the review useful!
Dope 💯🔥
🫡
Yeah those Tab zombies sound amazing
Indeed! #tabperformance makes some good noise!
Absolut Perfekt..
Agree!
Must have had one hell of a whack to have bent the brake hanger😲
TBH I have no idea what actually happened but since the rotor was bent up pretty good I could see how it was bent in a lil bit.
Nice vid Finesse. I do have a question. I’m looking for jack. What did you use for the Chief. Thanks.
I was using a condor wheel chock and a floor jack with a wooden base... I am looking for a jack too, I've seen a few but they all have their respective issues with ease of use or storage. If I find something I like, I will have it on the channel.
@@FinesseTheChallenger I can’t wait 👍🏽
Nice work bro! I love to see riders working on their own bikes (or helping a friend!)
Thanks! Gotta keep those wrenches warm eh LOL
I’m debating between the chieftain and challenger. Do they ride any different? Not too concerned with power as both have plenty
They do ride different but both are comfortable
Ratcheting wrenches are super hand for them tight spots.
Love those American made Indian motorcycles❣️ They just keep getting better and better👍
Yessir, I can’t wait to see the rest of the 2025 lineup😃
I’m hoping for an Indian Four tourer someday!
@@michaelschmitzerle2587 ahhh reaching back… that would be cool
Awesome video Sir!🔥🔥🔥
Thanks much!!!
This was excellent. Thanks so much. The official website doesn't do these bags justice. After seeing your video, I'm definitely getting one of these bags.
Awesome! They are good bags… and you can get a lot of stuff in there lol
Beautiful bike....I'd be terrified I'd slide it down the road and destroy its looks.
Thanks🤣 that’s what the engine guards are for… f’real tho I know… I treat it like a baby when I wash it or install parts on it compared to mine lol
Does it have the different power commands, Rain Normal & Sport ???
Ride Command and ride modes... absolutely all the touring bikes have it.
Heard of your channel through Be The Boss. Awesome channel bro. I just bought thit bike 2 months ago. Love it. Need to change bars. I'm 5'6" 115 lbs. My back starts hurting after a while. Put tab pipes on and omg. Love it bro.
Hey I appreciate you checking out the channel! Rob is a good dude... if you ever get this way for a practice session be sure to let me know and I'll join ya! Gorgeous bike, congratulations!
Thank you brother. If I ever get that way I sure will. I can use all the practice I can get! And yes he is. Hope to meet yall one day. I'm in Colorado so will see. Be safe.
@@colemartin9077 We were just there, were you at Durango?
Unfortunately no I had to work and didn't even know about ot til the week of so next year maybe lol.
Good stuff Finesse!
Appreciate it
I would like the heel shifter
ramibiker got if sry.
Man I need those bars. I wish I had the skill level to add them. Dealer wanted $1100 for it
WOW! I assume that includes the price of the bars as well.
@@FinesseTheChallenger yeah out the door
I’ll take that heel shifter !
You got it, DM me on IG or email me at finessethechallenger@yahoo.com and I'll send it out on Monday 5Aug
Yes! More chief videos. This bike definitely needs more love. Thank you!
Once I complete the repairs I will be doing another video on the Chief... stay tuned!
Having a shop manual is the best tool in box, would be a good thing to check the wheel aliment "front to back"
Yeah! I need a few of them LOL. Alignment... absolutely, once the repairs are complete, I will be taking it to the dealership for a complete checkup.
Can I ask how tall you are?
Doing your own maintenance saves alot of money PLUS you know that it's done right!
100%
Thanks for taking the Lead
Yessir, thanks
Looking at thid for my first.
Good choice
Call me old school but.. where's the chrome. At least the pipe with a semi blacked out motor. That see.s to be the trend. other then that, the pipe is the only thing I don't like. A detachable rear seat would be cool too. Seriously looking into getting one. Looking at the 24 sport chief with the thunderstroke 116ci
Nice, I’m looking at the sport Chief too but, if you like the scout and want some chrome there are scout versions with chrome too just not the 101. I too am not a big fan of the exhaust but I’d change it anyways. Thanks for checking out the video 🤙🏿
Oh, It would be nice to have this Model RoadMaster, liquid cooled aswell, Be positive Indian Motorcycle's, This Guy is Bloody fussy doing this Road Test, Picking at this & that, At the end of the Day it's my opinion that counts not this Guy, Can't watch any more,
I love this bike and you are absolutely right it is the person's opinion that counts... I am simply detailing my thoughts on my honest, initial impressions of the bike, and given the opportunity I would add this bike to my garage without hesitation. IMC is the best American V-twin you can buy, at least in my opinion.
Youve got to admit, Since Indian Motorcycle's came under new ownership in 2012 ? Theve leeped froged H.D by miles, Aspesely this Model compared to H. D Electra Glide, a simerler model, This Indian motorcycle is full of Technology, Expensive yes, & The next MODEL up his liquid cooled , H.D are still thinking about it still,, 🤔🤔, Anyway. A brilliant motorcycle, no doubt about that, We'll Done Indian carry on the good work, God Bless America, 🇺🇸
I think IMC just gives the consumer a more complete product... not perfect but more complete. It is good to have options as a consumer and IMC is doing great things, I cannot wait for the 2025 Pursuit/Chieftain Elites to drop! Thank you and thanks for checking out the channel/video!
Thanks for the video Chief, I'm looking to do the very same thing to MY 2021 Challenger Darkhorse.
Absolutely, it's a simple check and fix... only cost me $10
The real important question is, "How is it you are losing coolant if you are?" You should not be losing coolant. Did you have it serviced previously and maybe it wasn't filled to capacity? Moving the wheel chock is a lot of work sort of. I just use a piece of 2x4 wood under my kickstand to level the bike, mine's a Yamaha and of course, make sure your bike is in first gear.
Right, I will be monitoring the level to make sure there is no funny business and this is the first time I've checked the level and during that time I have not seen any leaks, smells, or any funny business but I will be doing a follow up. The wheel chock really isnt all that bad... getting the bike up there on it is a lil different but overall not too bad, I need to get a lift LOL
You're good at the test, but listening to you suck and swallow your own snot for so long is just disgusting! In my own language: Καλός είσαι στο τεστ, όμως το να σε ακούμε να ρουφάς και να καταπίνεις τη μύξα σου τόση ώρα, μια σκέτη αηδία!
Investigating why the level is that low would be high priority, did you check the rad level?
Yup I looked for leaks and there are none, at least none visually. Additionally, this is the first time I've checked the level since I purchased the bike but I have been checking to make sure all is well. I'll do a follow up video.
Great video! Also, thank you for your Air Force service!
Thank you, and thanks for checking out the video
You're intro is so long winded I stopped watching. I took the time to make a comment because it was that slow.....2 min 40 seconds until you get to what your video is actually about. Love the charity but fell asleep with the delivery.
Thanks for checking out the video
I had the same problem with my 24Elite.
Yup when you rollin you gotta keep an eye on those fluids
