What owners report
The Motorcycle has a terrible wobble at various speeds and can be felt in the handle bars when lightly holding on. But if you let go to adjust something the bars shake back and forth at a rapid speed and is very scary. I have had Polaris engineers and the local Indian Dealership try to fix the issue with various suggestions with no effect to make it better. My polling from the nation of owners shows between 5 and 10 percent have this issue. Its not an isolated case. There are many that have not had any issue. The problem starts at zero miles on bike with zero modifications. I have several videos.
I PICKED UP MY BRAND NEW 2020 INDIAN MOTORCYCLE ON JULY 2, 2020 AND BROUGHT IT HOME. LATER THAT NIGHT I TOOK A RIDE AND I WAS ON THE BELT PARKWAY W/B WHEN I FELT SOMETHING FALL NEAR MY LEFT FOOT. THEN SOMETHING ELSE FELL NEAR MY LEFT FOOT. I GOT OFF AT EXIT 14 TO INSPECT THE MOTORCYCLE AND DISCOVERED THAT I HAD NO REAR BRAKES, AND I COULD SMELL BURNING OIL. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER VIA EMAIL, AND THE NEXT DAY THEY PICKED UP THE MOTORCYCLE TO EXAMINE IT. THEY FOUND THAT THE REAR BRAKES HAD FALLEN OFF THE MOTORCYCLE AND THE CABLES WAS SHREDDED. THE DEALER SWITCH OUT THE DEFECTIVE MOTORCYCLE FOR A NEW ONE OFF THE FLOOR.
