Just a point worth a mention, and please note, I'm not looking for an argument here, or trying to upset anyone, my bike as gone, I'm just trying let others know the truth about my bad experience so they don't think they're the only one having, or had problems. I don't know how keen insurance...

Hi K9F, I appreciate what you're getting at here, but in the end I just fell out with the bike, and we all know that once that happens it never comes back, I had some very near misses when mine decided to just stall for no reason, floating round mini roundabouts with the clutch pulled is not a...

I'm one of the unfortunate ones in the UK that had serious problem with the bike cutting out, the dealer, and Indian were a joke, not interested, the bike I had would not have even passed an MOT, a bike has to at least to run to pass, mine caught me out many times on the approach to bends, mini...

ALL SOLD job lot

I get what people are saying, believe me, if you could see how well my bikes are looked after, and I'm quite prepared to spend on them in the right areas, I myself always do practical/sensible mods/tunes, you should see my original Colin Edwards Lagona Seca Honda SP2 race rep. I don't mind...

Answer to both questions above. Q1, I bought the bike from new in November 2019, and only covered 1,600 miles on it, unfortunately due to the Covid restrictions, I didn't get much chance to get out on it. Q2, It cuts out any time it likes, even when I've been out for hours, usually when I shut...

Yes, I have heard of your Law, but unfortunately the dealer I bought t he bike from doesn't seem to want to know, he doesn't even bother to return my phone calls. To be honest the whole experience has put me off, I've lost the will to keep this bike, and lost my faith in Indian as a...

Hi all, unfortunately I've fallen out with my FTR1200S, and decided to sell it, I've had problems with it from day one, and still having problems with it to date, so it's time to put it down to a lesson learned (a expensive one at that) and move on. Anyway, If anyone is interested, I have quite...

Yeah, sounds good to me, I'll try and find a way of messaging you so we can exchange phone nbrs, don't want to put it on the open forum. Just as a matter of interest, why is you're forum name Storm42, it's just that I've got a Honda VTR1000 FireStorm, and just thought you might have one too.

Hi, and welcome, I'm just over the hills from you near Glossop. Glad I've finally found an owner not too far away from me, hopefully we'll be able to meet up on a ride some day, when the weather gets better of course. We all seem to like the private plates on here, I managed to get this for...

Hi all, don't know if this as already been done, but can we do a list of FTR owners in the UK, I would be very interested to know how many there is of us, and it would be good to know the location for possible meet ups/ride outs. For obvious reasons, please don't put your town or village...

I didn't like the stock mirrors either, they look cheap, and don't look right on a so called premium bike. I took mine off straight away and put Highsider Victory X on, they look fine, and suite the the bike, they look like they belong there, rather than something just stuck on as an after...

Yeah, my dealer said they did the recall while it was in for the 500 mile service, but it's still doing it. I'm going to wait till I've put 1,000 on the clock, which will only take a week or two and see if it sorts its self out, if not it's back to the dealer.

The bike was purchased on the 1st November, been stored in a reinforced wood large shed, the very reason for wood is because it absorbs moister, and here in England we do get moister. I'd been out on it 5 times covering 100 miles per trip to get to the 500 service. The bike was then washed...
