For a second there I thought you were working on my bike! I wish! I took delivery of my Thunder Black Smoke last week and absolutely love the bike! Your videos are simply awesome! I just started making videos too! I can definitely learn some tips here! Great job!
Okie!!!
Man this channel has all sort of goodies for me (Scout Bobber stuff). Its good to have a reference video to make sure i'm not destroying my bike. Good stuff!
Welcome to the channel 😀👍
Great video!!! Very thorough with all the steps. I will have this video up when I install mine on my 21 bobber next week!!
What up Peeps! I couldn’t be happier with the bike! There is a huge difference in performance. It’s way faster. Thanks Albe for the amazing job. It’s a great feeling knowing the the work was done right! Your the man!
Thank you
Lee Gener , do you know the difference in HP? Plus is the Rev limiter and top speed raised?
No way on earth could I do this myself. Congratulations to Albe, the supreme professional, a pretty much perfect step by step guide.
Thank you Badger
Great videos. Thorough instructions.
You are a smart fellow. Thanks for sharing
Awesomely detailed!
Great video dude, thanks.
Great, useful video!
Nice instructions!
excellent video
well made, and informativ video
That bike sounds good with those pipes
It really does
Well done!
Dude awesome job! Keep it up. Has the bike given the owner any issues ? si ves the upgrades. The video was amazing man you perfectly walked us through everything.
Thank you Eric, the bike hasn't given the owner any problem, he is still loving it like the first day I gave it back to him
Amazing video.
Love the video... Nice install. The splice to the TPS wire sucks, though. Wish dynojet would find another solution for that.
I agree, thanks for watching 😀👍
This is the best advertising for the bike and the sheer endless customising possibilities. The exhaust alone would probably only improve sound and diving behaviour due to the reduced weight?
Maybe the Power Commander is a usefull fuel management system, considering the Power Vision CX will flash the ECU map directly without a long piggyback install, but the Power Commander 5 is largely unnecessary for upgraded Exh+A/F and ECU remap.
You sound just like father Guido Sarducci. Good video paisano.
Lol....maybe 🤣🤣🤣
I noticed that the bike doesn't have a skid plate. I highly recommend the AeroMach Debris Shield. The bike will last a lot longer with a skid plate and it will protect the oil filter area, which can be dangerous if a rock gets lodged up there.
KlingonCaptain I’m gonna have to get that installed.
Thanks for the videos Albe they're great. On my scout I have these CP Shorty slip ons and and about to install the Arlen Ness Torque Bow air intake. I was not planning on buying a power commander. But I do plan to have the dealer remap or flash the bikes computer. Will this do the same as having the power commander?
Hi Gary, just about, the advantage of the power commander is that you can change the maps at will, for example if you modify your bike some more you can just change the maps on your own or if you go back to stock you can just reinstall the stock map, while if you have the dealer flash your ECU you have to keep going back.
Hey brother, thanks for the very helpful tips on installing the power commander... can I ask, where did u get the Indian skull covers for the engine? Looks awesome..
I believe the owner got it at tail-art.com
I think you did awesome.
Thanks man 😀👍
Great video. I would really love to see a after review. Maybe while riding, noting the benefits in proformence with added modifications. Also do you know the added HP from modifications and if the Rev limiter was affected or raised?
The rev limiter was not affected, I'm not sure the exact number of added HP, but you can feel the power, I'll see if I can get the bike back for an after mods review.
Super super video.
Absolutely fantastic upload. Love that Indian skull plate. What is that called?
There should be a link among the comments
Great video, could you please make a review of all these mod’s with a test ride please :)
I'll see if I can get the bike back from Lee
Hi Albe! Great Video!! I connected the PCV as you show, engine runs ok, but the Check engine light is on. Did this happened to you? Is normal?
How do you turn it off? Otherwise, I've noticed some delay in the throttle response? Is that normal? Thanks!!
No, it's not normal, if you downloaded the right map, and you have connected the harness properly, there should be no check engine light. Double check that the right map was installed on the PCV and I would double check the connectors as well. I hope you solve the problem
Hey, awesome bike and work. What is that oil tank cover graphic/cap? That looks wicked!
Look among the comments, if I don't remember wrong, the owner shared the website he bought it from
Would it had been easier to install the power commander first once everything was disassembled and not reassemble anything until all the upgrades were installed? Just saying..I like that you mention all the little problems that are encountered. I always run into problems that are never shown and have to stop and figure something out.
Watched all 3 Indian videos, thanks you very much for going into so much detail on each install. I am not subscribed!! Thank you
Thank you for watching 😀👍
Albe it's about a year ago and I was wondering if you know how your friends bike is running after the mods.
Thanks.
So far so good, he is still loving it 👍
Sweet bike, have the same but in matte bronze. Looking to upgrade it a bit. If I did a new exhaust and air cleaner, do I NEED the power commander or can I just get it dyno tuned?
Super cool bike.
Unless your tuner can re-map your bike's ECU, you will need a power commander (or other Fuel injection module) to load the tune.
@@AlbesADV ok cool thank man
Just curious why not use the Vance and Hines FP3. It looks like a much simpler installation.
They do not make the fp3 for the Indian, only for Harleys, you would have to go for the regular fuelpak that is not as flexible as the PCV, I'm talking about being able to use it with different exhaust, filter and other mods. Beside that, both, me and the owner trusted dynojet to be pretty reliable.
What are the O2 Optimizers? I did not get those with my power commender V and I was wondering if I need those to install power commander.
I think they only trick the ecu into disregarding the o2 sensor signals. I'm not sure if you need them or you can just plug in the sensors, this kit was built specifically for the scout bobber.
Do you have to tune the motorcycle or is optional what if I only get the exhaust?
The bike will run, it’s not going to be optional but it will run
Hey Albe, I just got my power commander V. But I noticed I don’t have the 02 sensor optimizers, should they have came in the package?
They did, look closely towards the end of the video, I put them on but I also leave the sensors in the pipe just in case the owner wants to revert to stock
Albe's Adv I guess they stop making the o2 sensors optimizer. Will not having them on affect the bike negatively?
I'm really not sure, it had them when I installed it
I want to know where he found that crankcase cover, it is bad ass and I want one for my bike!!!
Look among the comments, I believe the owner actually put in a comment with a link 👍
Where’d they get that derby cover???
See previous comments
Soo.. I went for a PVCX for it's simplicity after installing new pipes and air intake. The PCV is NOT for rookies :p
Agree
Very Nice video!!! I have two questions:
1. For routing to the crank position sensor, wouldn't it be easier to disconnect the battery and empty that space?
2. Is it necessary to install the O2 optimizers?
Sincerly
Hi,
1, it would definitely help.
2, no if the PCV is tuned accordingly
😀👍
@@AlbesADV Damn... routing to the CPS without battery is a peace of cake, but then... to loosen the regulator, i had to remove the exhaust bracket and the belt cover...
Thank you, I'll keep that in mind if I do that again 👍
@@AlbesADV I'm riding for 3 weeks now on my tuned bike with stock airfilter, but with Rinehart Exhaust... the bike starts way faster (cranking) and responds better.... nice ride and many thanx for your video. It really helped a lot doing this myself!!!!
I'm happy I could help 😀👍 enjoy the bike
You're Italian right? 😉 Thanks for this video
Yes, born and raised
@@AlbesADV mi immaginavo, vivo in Canada a Vancouver,cercavo informazioni per alcuni problemi che ha la mia Indian Scout Bobber 2020 e pensavo di comprare un PowerVision per poter controllare e fare le diagnosi da solo. La concessionaria locale é veramente negata e io ho abbastanza esperienza come meccanico. Trovo il tuo video e dico "finalmente qualcuno che sa quello che dice..." Poi mi viene il dubbio e penso ...questo sicuramente é italiano 😂😅
Fantastico canale complimenti
Grazie Valerio, anche io sono emigrato 20 anni fa, ma in California.
Me la sono sempre cavata, meccanicamente parlando, ma qui I meccanici lasciano molto a desiderare, sembra che vadano sempre di fretta, e dopo un paio di brutte esperienze mi sono rimboccato le maniche dicendomi, "mica è ingegneria nucleare" ed eccomi qua.
Grazie per i complimenti e in bocca al lupo con la Indian
😀👍
Could i use just the exhaust for a while? I mean all that stuff can be and will be quite expensive.
The bike ran fine with just the exhaust, you don't get all the power you can get out of it, but it did ok
@@AlbesADV ok thank you, i like to do my own work so id definitely reference this video but i wanted to make sure im not causing damage
Ciao Albe, c’è l’hai ancora questa moto?
La sto considerando a rimpiazzo della mia 2009 HD Fat Bob. Sono alto 1.85 circa 80 kg.
Sento che molti si lamentano delle sospensioni.
Comunque complimenti per il tuo canale, son iscritto. Un caro saluto da Houston, Texas
Ciao Vark, no, la moto è di un mio amico, lui pesa intorno ai 90kg e non ha problemi con le sospensioni, secondo me le sospensioni sono un po' dure ma in par con bobbers di altre marche. A me questa moto piace molto e con le modifiche che ho fatto, va come il vento.
Grazie per esserti iscritto 👍
How does power commender help bobber ?
Optimizes the fuel air mixture giving you a better burn, more power and better response especially if you add an exhaust and a high flow air filter 👍
Albe, you sound like Father Guedo Sarducci !!!
Lol, I've been told...
how much additional H/P do you think you gained after all the mods?
I'm not sure about the actual numbers but it's very noticeable, maybe 15-20hp.
@@AlbesADV thats a lot
why not just go with the vision cx?
A few reasons, if the owner wants to go back to stock it only has to disconnect the PC-V instead of reprogramming the ECU. If anything happens to the vision cx, lost, broke etc. The OEM tune is lost and that's a whole lot of problems. And then there is the autotune deal, Vision will not Autotune on the fly but will recommend tunes when hooked with a Autotune and then you can adjust after looking at data (not on fly), PC-V will do live adjustments on the fly with Autotune....and frankly I personally rather not reprogram the ECU in case anything goes wrong during the reprogramming.
@@AlbesADV good reasons, thank you the feedback. The only part that seems incorrect is loosing the stock tune. You can backup the stock tune file when you plug the vision cx unit into the computer.
Power commander...on a cruiser???
Via the internet😳😳😳😳😳
why not? where is it written that cruisers may only move in slow motion?
Results of Dyno?
Neither me or the owner have dynoed the bike.
Why not take advantage of parts put on and see what they have produced by tuning? Too take advantage over simple map? I think you both are missing the boat. Just a thought. By tuning on Dyno, I improved HP by 6.5 and torque by 4.5. This was on my Scout 60. Bassani Road Rage 2 into 1, Trask Air filter and Power Commander V.
Not my call, besides I'm not sure if the owner feels like spending another $400 to add more power, considering that this is his first bike
@@AlbesADV I understand. Just curious. Do you have a suggestion on mini apes? Without new cables?
Shaun Stokes no sorry 😐
Will you please do mine for me?
Sorry man, I'm not a licensed mechanic and since is really easy to get sued in America I'm gonna have to stick with helping friends with their bikes.
Thank you but no thank you,I won't be putting a power commander on it,too much like hard work,and wont be taking it to a shop at $90 (New Zealand) an hour.
All those connectors under the bike that is going to be problems over the years. The water and corrosion that will get to those connectors.Harley has all the connectors under the seat to protect the electric system as munch as possible.See if this bike is still running years from now.Seeing this just talked me out of buying an Indian.
If you buy an Harley rather than an Indian, in my opinion, you are missing out in power and reliability. Btw nice boat on the thumbnail 👍
