Defect Description:

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

1. While holding a constant line and speed, I suddenly felt a sharp jolt from the rear of the motorcycle followed by rapid bouncing. 2. The rear wheel locked instantly. I heard the tire skid and felt it stop rotating. 3. The ABS indicator illuminated, yet there was no braking input from me. 4. I attempted gentle steering correction, but with the rear wheel fully locked the motorcycle destabilized and threw me to the right. 5. I struck the pavement injured my left knee and right hand. The motorcycle slid and came to rest on the northeast sidewalk ramp at the corner of NE 102nd St / N Wallace Ave.

Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

I currently have 5K miles on the bike. All 5K miles I have had stalling issues. These issues mostly happen when lightly feathering the throttle while pulling out. This issue is not in my clutch work. It seems to be in the throttle sensor. The bike has began to randomly shut down on my while riding. This is always random and cannot be reproduced at will. It does however seem to only happen with a zero throttle position and clutch fully disengaged position (while riding). This is not quite the case when pulling out, the issue presents with a slight throttle and the clutch just starting to friction, if you attempt to throttle the bike dies. The throttle sensor is not correct. Furthermore it seems after the bike has warmed up… like 10 miles and I stop at the store in the mornings, the next start seems to like rock the engine up during startup. This causes a terrible abrupt stop to the engine start and causes the ride command to reboot. This has happened riding furring downshifting at a light where the engine shut off and caused the ride command to reboot, had to coast to the side of the road and wait 20 seconds to get the fuel pump back before it would fire back up. This stalling on the highway has happened 3 times now and without any warning. This is going to get me into an accident. So, the engine stall happened this morning and it actually got the first time threw a check engine light. The absolute first code I have ever been able to see 3464-3 (throttle actuator fault) this solidifies my throttle suspicions all along, as everything has always pointed to the throttle sensor. If Indian does not fix this (there are a ton of people complaining about this same issue on their 2025’s) they are going to hurt or kill someone. This is a safety issue that needs addressed immediately! I will be taking my bike in for it’s 5K service on Saturday and will report it again, but just like the other 10 times I will be dismissed. This is an urgent recall that needs addressed.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

I was parked in the Sam’s parking lot, bike had been parked for approximately 2 hours. My wife, myself and my son were all there at the time this event transacted. My wife had her Jeep and I was on my bike as I had met them there to do some shopping. While loading my wife’s car I decided to start my bike and start getting a little heat in it before we left. I approached the bike and pressed the power button, Ride command normally takes over 30 seconds to boot, so I stood there waiting for the screen. Once the screen booted I reach down with my foot and bring the shifter from first to neutral. This can be verified and validated by the audible click of the shifter as well as on the Ride Command screen. The “N” neutral light was clearly visible. The bike still on the stand I reach across the bike and hit the start button. This is where things started to go from bad to worse. The engine turned over as the bike lurched forward (as if it was still in gear). At this point the engine actually started as the bike left the stand and fell onto its side as well as my legs. The bike was running at this point as it layed on its side for approx 3 seconds until the bike died and the hazards began to flash. I swiftly checked the rear tire to ensure it was no longer turning and was able to get the bike uprighted within maybe 10 to 15 seconds of it laying over. Once upright I validated again the bike was displaying neutral and it was. Damage was minimal when it went over there was contact from the left foot peg as well as the clutch lever (broke about two inches off the clutch lever). No other damage on the bike thank god. It only tweaked my back while trying to wrestle the bike as it moved uncontrollably. This bike allowed two safety’s to be overridden, the neutral safety as well as the stand safety. If this would have happened with someone in front of the bike, or if I were waiting on traffic thinking the bike was in neutral it would have lunged out into traffic. TERRIBLE!!
