btw,Toyota,Honda get free services 2 years and now Hyundai(w/100,000mile 10 year w/3 years of comp service).One can drive and maintain fords, chevy’s and Toyotas, or BMW’s Mercedes’ or Porsches. Nothing new here.
Ok that’s funny. Not a reasonable expectation from Europe, but funny.Oh yeah,I get it.I did kinda know but I did want a kiss to go along with the ruff sex.
$550 was with the valve check, which is required for the 6k service.Oh,okay.
Not to argue or to flame as I am only a little pissed at myself.
$550 but get the valves checked and your in the $1,000 range.
Not bad.$550 was with the valve check, which is required for the 6k service.
I still think it is pricey though they installed a front & rear tire on the bike with the sidecar attached for a little under $325 + the tires of course.Not bad.
I paid $480.15 for my first 600mile service.I had them change all the fluids so,it was a bit extra.
I checked my valve adjustment and they charged me $176.14
That would have put me $656.29 if I would have had them do both together.
btw,I do shop around and the dealer where I bought my bike is more reasonable.
Good day
Thinking of upgrading to the Trans but would take a bath on the BThe best time to buy an R18 is today, the next best time is tomorrow. The deals continue to get better and better. This incentive clears 2022s for 2023s that are on the way.
Any “upgrade” will dump any R18 in a bathtub. When I asked my dealer where the best place was to bury an R18 trade, he quickly replied “Another R18!”Thinking of upgrading to the Trans but would take a bath on the B
Every motorcycle should give great joy everytime you throw a leg over. Bath or not. Life is too short.Thinking of upgrading to the Trans but would take a bath on the B
Are you keeping your R18 Hack or ???? Congrats on the new Indian too, she's beautifulI still think it is pricey though they installed a front & rear tire on the bike with the sidecar attached for a little under $325 + the tires of course.
Yeah,keeping it.Are you keeping your R18 Hack or ???? Congrats on the new Indian too, she's beautiful
That's an impressive track record. My 14 Vic Cross Roads was actually one of my "best" motorcycles (I've had many with almost 60 years of riding), and I compared it closely to the R18 when I was buying my Classic. While I am smitten with the R18 for many reasons the "old" and discontinued Victory offered more suspension, better seating, more petrol capacity and far easier maintenance, etc. I put approximately 45,000 miles on it in a year and a half and then decided I was going back to an Adv or Standard style bike. I was in line for the teased, bad ass Pike's Peak 156 based platform which was sadly delivered as another cruiser with the Octane-Scout. By the time they morphed that into the FTR I had moved on. Anyway, I was impressed with Polaris bankrolling two incredible engines back to back and how their poking at Harley resulted in major improvements for riders regardless their choice of Brands. Two of my riding friends were diehard HD riders and routinely went 1XX,XXX miles within 3-4 years before getting another. For a variety of reasons they were becoming unhappy with HD so in 2015 one was on Victory and the other on Indian and even with Covid restrictions the Vic is close to 120,000 and he will keep it while just adding a 2016 garage queen Vic as a primary long ride replacement. A clutch cable and starter motor were the only "failures" during those miles. The Indian is getting up there as well and I believe fork seals were the only "failures". Very high satisfaction and confidence in the bike especially when far from home is always a good thing.Yeah,keeping it.
The Indian is really a unbelievable machine.This is my 3rd Thunderstroke(had a 2003 vintage too).Crazy how much Polaris has tweaked and improved the engine,clutch and driveline.New designed better breathing heads,increased oil capacity and lots of smaller things,like ride modes and increased muffler flow with deeper sound.It runs cooler than my previous 2 Thunderstrokes with the cat in place while I had Rinehart headpipe w/o cat.
Gas mileage is 40-44 at 75 mph.Smooth as hell.
Victory is a great motorcycle.I wished Polaris would have brought the Challenger out as a Indian Victory.Because thats what it is.That's an impressive track record.

I try to get something a little different every time I change bikes as there are so many great ones nowadays and while the R18 is amazing on many levels I would go for the Indian Challenger rather the R18 Bagger/Tourer options if for nothing else than ease of servicing on long rides. I do most of my own work and while all my previous BMWs needed little or no valve adjustments once settled in I hate the idea of hoping that I could skip an adjustment on a trip or face the down time and/or stupid $$ to have a shop do them while on the road and often that could be multiple times. It's not a deal breaker, but an annoyance just as their choice of tube required rims is. Anyway, you have a great stable and thanks for sharing your knowledge regardless the Brand.
Where did you get a manual?Not bad.
