I Really Don't Need It.. 24 Hours With Indian Challenger
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- 💭 My Uncle brought his Indian Challenger to the garage for some maintenance. Needed new tires and rear brakes. I had 24 hours with this bike to get that done and of course.. go on a bit of a speedy.. I mean safety ride to make sure it was good to go.
Makes me realize why I like the Challenger so much and why I don't want to own one.. right now. Maybe it's just the engine I like more.

Nice video keep up the good work my brother
@@MarcusTurner-db5qv thanks, Marcus! 🤘🏾
I got you unc. This is how I wish all family members responded to other family members. You’re a good nephew Brandon.
Most def. Glad I could lend a hand and not need a dealership run. We don't have one for a solid 100 miles and no local dealers will touch anything they don't sell.
Thank you for another great video! Stay blessed
It is a safety check. You ride it over 90 mph, you felt perfectly safe. Safety ✔️ ✅️.
100%, I do scrub the tires in a bit before going that fast.
I can never get over how smooth your voice is. You’re also a talented script writer.
Thank you! Been freestyling it a bit more lately. A lot less editing to deal with.
I actually had the same thought in my mind.

Just waiting for the Shop to open! Bicasso's Bikes! Send it!
Challenger/Pursuit & Tab Performance just makes for a lot of smiles, smiles, smiles!!! I am also waiting for the Power Plus to lose some weight LOL. Great video BB!
Lol, maybe they’ll drop one next year.
Everyone needs a Challenger! I've had mine a month, and I'm in love. Had to loosen the clutch though.
It's a bit grabby at the friction point. You can hear me getting off the cable a bit late on the pulls.
@@BrandonBicasso I feel like the friction zone is too short of a throw. Before I loosened it, my fingers were almost fully extended before it hit the friction zone.
As a guy about to ride his Roadmaster up/back to Sturgis again this year from Central Texas, I totally feel you on the weight. Especially lugging it around during the summer months with gear on. But that size is perfect for the long-haul. Definitely going to be interesting when they do migrate the PP to their midweights. For now, the TS (with a pipe and a opened up air cleaner) is MORE than peppy enough for me on the Sport Chief though. To be honest, even before the mods it was plenty, but it just looks the part a bit better now! Awesome vid, as always, mano! Be safe.
You'll be on a great bike for it. I'm still stuck on making a middle weight do things the bigger bikes are better at. Always been like that haha.
That is a seriously big bit of kit. Thanks for taking us the ride; I felt myself smiling when you accelerated and leaning when you went into corners. Gotta get myself another bike, particularly with the sun starting to come out.
Stay safe. Stay 2 😉👍🏼
I really enjoy watching all your content brother! I bought an 2023 Indian Scout Rogue last Year and I’ve learned so much watching your channel 🙏🏾. Keep it going !
Nice seeing your uncle again. 😊
Nice bike. Sounds really good!
I have those same handlebars. I love my challenger so much!! Beautiful bike
Liked and subscribed. You're a cool cat, bro. Keep up the good work.
That is such a good looking bike. Indian is really getting better every year.
Love me ah Challenger! Thumbs up 👍
Man that looks fun!
It was! I really like changing tires haha.
I'm not a bagger guy, but the Indian baggers are so much nicer than looking than the Harley baggers. Great bike.
I'd love to see YOUR bikes. What are you doing with them? What are your plans for them? What are your dream bikes you are working up to?
Love the vidoes! I have been watching every one of them. Been watching since before you had your incident on your scout bobber.
Keep it up! You're hella inspiring!
Stock bagger Indian motorcycles have a nice suspension.
Nice ride out...
Salute from @KeepingItGanZzta We ride Indian Challengers over here! With The Rinehart DBX Slip on Tab Performance cat delete and just got the Lloyds ECU Flash my joint is a monster
Love the video, homeslice. Too bad I no longer own 2 wheels or I'd bring my scoot to you. LOL.
Slowly becoming the neighborhood bike mechanic haha. My limit right now is tires/brakes, though. Anything else I'd rather not mess with currently. I help the homies out though.
@@BrandonBicasso not even oil changes? Come on, bro. I'll even bring pizza and good beer. :)
I don't even like doing my own oil changes lol! If someone needed help, I'd help. I'm not gonna offer : )
The challenger rides so well though I use it every day as my commuter bike as well. And I only need to go 4 miles to work. It handles parking lot speeds like a dream for its size, too. Then on weekend it will take me as far as I ever caret go. It damn near perfect.
Yeah, it handles really well. I was fine riding the Chieftain around town. My Chief rips in a different way for my riding style.
Nice helping fam.
Your tire changer looks way better then my No-Mar tire changer. Changing the 19 inch front and 16 inch rear on my chieftain limited is brutal.
The Rabaconda isn't perfect and it has a learning curve. It's got some balancing issues but that's at the expense of it being foldable. People have broken the machine and damaged wheels from not using it correctly too. So far, I haven't damaged a wheel and I can change multiple tires in a day no problems. I haven't done anything over 19" and 200mm yet. Max is 21"/250mm.
As I was thinking he must have a tune by the way you were able to blip the throttle, you mentioned it was dialed in lol. Can't wait to get mine.
It really is. Tune is smooth.
That is one beautiful bike.
Excellent video! In all fairness that rear tire had at least another 500 miles on it. When I went from a Honda Shadow Phantom 750 to a Victory Vision, which is even bigger than a Challenger, I was terrified when I first rode it. After getting over the size and height difference the Vision handles even better than my Phantom. In fact it handles like a sport bike. When you get used to the differences of a full-sized cruiser you won't want to go back to a smaller bike.
Beautiful bike!!!
Yours is just as nice!
You're a good man, and technician, but damn good nephew!
His bike still looking 👍🏾
Thanx bro
nice bike unc
That engine sure does sound smooth
Feels smooth too!
Quick thought on your airing down the tires.
If you used that Ryobi pump to go from 0psi - 46psi, that air is super warm, bordering on pretty hot.
It would cool down anywhere from 3-10psi depending on the temp of the tire and how hot the pump got the air to.
I didn't think about that, thanks for letting me know! I have an air compressor but I always use the Ryobi handheld just cause.
I'm really waiting to see that engine on a more classic, no fairing, cruiser
Got my bike back on the road!!!!!
My Challenger pads looked the same way. Slightly uneven, not sure why. I pulled the pins and cleaned everything real good this time. Will see how it wears at next changeout.
And yes, the engine in the Challenger is amazing. :)
Definitely odd but no major security issue. :D
The FTR platform with the 108 motor😍😍
Oooo that would be fun.
I’m next neighbor!!!! My rear is gone already. Ordering a new “set” this week!✊🏾
I'll be here!
yes, yes you need it
that's a sturdy gal
The 3-inch Zombie baffles are soft on the low end compared to the Tab Performance 2.25 baffles.
They’re both loud enough to provide a healthy dose of Tinnitus
@@BrandonBicasso --> With the modifications that your uncle has done to his Challenger the loudness does not mean he has gained power and will destroy his hearing over time. Lloyd 's uses the 2.25 baffles with power mods with his cams and not the zombie baffles. Tab performance has come out with baffles to fit inside of the Zombie baffles to increase power in low end. The Zombie baffles need high RPMS to make HP but not torque.
Boy got a rabaconda. Very nice.
Best tool I've financed in awhile. Worth it.
90+ MPH welcome to Challenger life...
After I traded my Chieftain and hopped on a 22 Challenger I don't miss that thunder stroke what-so-ever and yes zombies all day long .
Hey Hey, don't do Thunderstroke like that haha.
@@BrandonBicasso In the Brandon voice POWER PLUS BAAAAYYYYBEEEEE😁
Waiting for Indian to put out a counter to the Low Rider ST. The Chief/cruiser frame, Powerplus engine, taller stance, better suspension, hard bags, fixed fairing.
There’s a few Chief floating around with Low Rider ST fairings. Have you seen them?
We love brakes that are mounted as dirt, wet, mud collectors Polaris and swingarms that look like they were thrown in salt for a month. Instantly.
Hey young man, I noticed your set up on your helmet on your GoPro. What type of wireless mic is that I can’t find it.
Here's the mic I use although it is not wireless: amzn.to/3V0f5mM
It requires the GoPro mic adapter: amzn.to/3X7z0mp
As always, a very entertaining video my brother on the other side of the Atlantic ❤️ I have a question and could you help me make my decision easier? I've been happily driving a Scout bobber twenty for almost 4 years now. However, I think it's time for me to invest in something bigger. Maybe with better suspension and also the possibility of taking someone with me without any problems. So I can choose between the two Both models and both brands can't decide and that's where you come into play. One time it would be from Indian the new Sport Chief and or the Indian Springfield Dark Horse or from Harley the lowrider S or the Road King Special. What do you think is the better bike in this case? Quality-wise and everything, thank you in advance for the answer LG Orhan from Germany!
What is the biggest size rear tire i can put for the 2024 Scout classic abs sixty without any modifications?
180
For those without a heat gun, I've seen videos where people leave the tire out in the sun during the heat of the day.
That works too! It helps so much getting these stiff tires on. Dunlops are harder.
Got a link to the tire changer tools?

Pricey, but I change tires a lot so made sense for me. Plus, no one will touch Indian Motorcycles locally so it's an hr+ drive to a dealership.
@@BrandonBicasso thank you
B, where did u get the tire replace stand ?

How well doe's the harbor freight lift work on challenger....debating on getting one
It works. I’d recommend putting a block of wood under the front tire or rear to keep it from moving. It likes to pivot left or right when elevated because the crankcase isn’t flat. My lift is worn in too and no longer has the rubber padding to prevent that. Otherwise, had no issues lifting it. Holds up to 1500 pounds and the Challenger is 840 pounds wet.
kool
Spray soap and water on tire makes it go smoother,never enough lube
Definitely. I didn't know that the first time I tried to change a tire. Now, I use a diluted grease/water to remove/mount the tires. Grease to lubricate my tools to prevent scratching.
What size bars are those? They look like perfect size
www.kstkustoms.com/products/comanche-bagger
Do you worry about tire brake in on new tires?
Nah. I do a couple of mile tire scrub-in and send it from there.
Hey how does the Indian Challenger feel compared to the m109r in regards to power and torque?
Similar. Challenger throttle response is smoother stock.
Brandon did you use any type of tire lube when you mounted the tire ?
Yes, I use a spray bead grease/water mix for the tires and bead grease to lubricate my tools to prevent scratching the wheels.
@BrandonBicasso When I worked at the plant here in KC we were mounting close to 400 wheels a day! 2 people
Mounting fronts and 2 Mounting rears!
Oh wow! Yeah, I'm glad I have this machine cause the manual way is back breaking.
Weren't the reinhart slips ons on when he took out the cat? Why did he ditch them for the zombies? I was set on the zombies but bought a bike with reinharts so I am curious.
Always had Zombies slip-ons with Rinehart tips.
What’s your dream bike currently?
I don't think I have one right now. It used to be XDiavel. I'd be okay if I never bought one. Then, Arch KRTG-1. Same thing. I'm pretty content with what I have. If I have the opportunity to work on them, sure! Plan is to work on others if I can.
How tall are those handlebars?

The challenger with all 7 computers
One thing I hate is tires. One thing I always pay for.
They're fun now tbh.
What type of mileage did your Uncle get out of those Metzler tires?
I don't know exactly. This is the 3rd one. Bike has around 23k miles.
I think the question is how many burnouts did he get.
At 42 psi tires on touring bikes tend to last longer.
I should research that more. With the weight it makes sense.
@@BrandonBicasso
At Hog Country we seen lots of tires worn prematurely running less pressures.
More so for me to learning than refute it. I truly don't know much about pressure choice other than less pressure for traction and more for control/weight.
:Hey Brandon, what is that tire changer. I hate spooning tires. Where can i buy that???
Rabaconda Street Tire Changer: amzn.to/4c5Cj1x
@@BrandonBicasso Thanks. I just spooned 2 Tusk adventure tires on and it was ptsd inducing.
Check out their dirt bike tire changer. May be more suited for your needs. I did the spoon technique once and said no more haha. I changed tires too much for it.
Leave air pressure up.... otherwise low pressure light will come on every morning
Fair! Will pass it along.
Yep, the specified tire pressure is when cold. It's supposed to be higher than the manual says, after it warms up.
I would love a Challenger but my 5'7" a$$ can't touch flat lol
Can change the suspension to lower it a bit. You can make it work with some boots to help : )
