    Can also start the bike by simply pushing the starter switch on the right cube. It'll power the bike up, then hit it again and it'll start.

    You can start any Indian touring bike by pressing the starter button twice. Hit it once and the bike powers up, hit it again and it will start. You do have to use the power button to turn power off. Just a little trick I learned doing demos

    • @mikefoltynski
      @mikefoltynski Před 4 lety +2

      For performance. Sucking in air into your motor that is coming off of your front exhaust header is not optimal performance. Vic and Indian seem to have figured that out.

    • @supakamario
      @supakamario Před 4 lety +3

      They started it. The challenger was going to be the next victory vision.

    • @272flashlites
      @272flashlites Před 4 lety +3

      The Challenger is, straight up, a victory. The 108 liquid cooled engine is a natural progression from the 106 air cooled unit. Not a 111 Thundetstroke.

    • @mikefoltynski
      @mikefoltynski Před 4 lety +1

      Completely agree. It was the next generation octane motor...

    The left side cover is not where the horn is ...horn is up front under the fairing.
    Rather than pushing the Start button full down initially, consider 1/2 click down & wait 2sec for fuel pump to pressurize, then start.
    Not trying to be picky bro, just helpful.

    U don't even have to press the power button to start it you can just press the kill switch down to power up the bike then press it again to start it. Good little efficiency hack. Also there is a 12 volt car lighter style outlet hidden under the hinge mechanism in one of the saddlebags can't remember which n don't feel like going to check lol but very helpful to know may come in handy one day. Maybe u can add that in ur next video but appreciate the Challenger content. Do u own one now? I remember u being biased towards the road glide in one of ur comparisons. B cool to know where u stand now

    1st) the horn is underneath the fairing not on the left side where you suspect. 2nd) You forgot to mentioned how to activate the alarm of the bike. Yes, if you walk away the fob will prevent the bike from starting BUT the bike can still be moved. You activate the alarm by pressing 2 times the left button to close the saddlebags. You will hear a small horn beep. If the bike is moved couple feet it will active the alarm and the horn will blast. This feature works in all models, including the base model.

    Hey Tall, Here is another Starting tip. You can start it by pressing the Start switch on the handle bars once to turn on the system and get the fuel pump to pump. Then you can press the start switch again and start the bike. Now, I'm not talking about the accessory button on the fairing, I'm talking about the on/off switch on the right side of the handle bars.

  • @elmaestro6106
    @elmaestro6106 Před 3 lety

    The Indian performs better than a Harley of course!! However, the Harley just is put together better 10 fold. I know that sounds weird, but when you look at all Indian motorcycles they are missing something. Like a Harley you see the quality everything fits like a glove. Harley's are premium motorcycles almost like a luxury car compared to an entry level car. Maybe over many years Indian will meet the same quality that Harley has mastered.
