Good video. Love the color of your Indian. And your garage is set up very nicely. I bought my first Indian from the Dulles dealership. My understanding on my Indians is that there is a Master Pin and a User Pin. The dealer is supposed to write the master pin in the owner's manual. When I bought one of mine used I did not know the user pin or master pin. The other I bought used came with the Owners Manual and had the Master Pin in it. I received some "fake news" that supposedly the Master Pin would be either written under the seat or around the fuse box or something. I found it nowhere on the bike. Entering the PIN on my Super Chief Limited with the Ride Command is simple, just like yours. Entering the PIN on my Springfield (no Ride Command) is a royal pain and I would not rely on it. I find it very odd to do it and it takes me repeated attempts to get it to go through.
Thank you for the compliments 🙂👍 I try to stage my garage to look a little organized and presentable on camera at least lol. Trust me it can get messy sometimes 😂 Hoping to do some more maintenance on the bikes later this winter. I’ve also read about the master PIN too and originally asked them about it they said they could at least read the existing user PIN for me. Unfortunately the bike didn’t come with a manual (which I was really surprised). The service folks up at Dulles were nice to work with too 🙂🏍️👍
@@TechNickRides Good stuff. Odd about the master pin. I had to take mine to the dealer and they told me, if I recall correctly, they could only connect it to their device and tell me the Master Pin, and from there I would be able to reset the user pin. Surprised they could not tell you the Master Pin but maybe I misunderstood something. I know that I left the dealership with the Master Pin and I set my own user pin. Good to know the service folks in Dulles are as good as the sales staff. I haven't used them yet but may do so down the road.
The pin on the Pan America only gives you seconds to enter it prior to it going away. Not a fun option. I like how the Indian seems to give you a little time. Good stuff.
Yep, the PIN is needed. Glad I have a spare key, but I think I know my Harley's PIN too. I like having keyless ignition - the key just stays in my pocket all day. Follow-up question: Does the Indian have an on-screen "low battery" alert? My Harley warns me when the key fob battery gets low, so I know to change it ASAP to prevent needing the PIN.
Dude same for me, love the keyless ignition. I’m not sure about the low battery alert that’s something I’ll have to look into. An some good advice too take as well 🙂👍
@@TechNickRides Yep, check and see if your bike has it - I must buy cheap batteries, because about once a year I get the message. I go right back in the house and swap the battery and I'm good to go again.
@RoadReality hey i remember my pin code but forget on how to enter it . Wait what give you a warning? Is that why my Alarm light stay on when I start the back up ?
@@TheBlueBikeDoyle Pin code is entered by using the left and right turn signals on Harleys. Yes, it gives you a warning - it'll say FOB BATT LOW on the little LCD screen that usually shows your odometer. It may also show up on your infotainment screen. It CAN be why the alarm light stays on, yes.
Set the pin immediatly. My 23 cheiftain DH key stopped working twice. Both times I got a new key under warrentee but without that Code I would have been majorly stranded twice. Dealer wrote my master code in my handbook and I switched it before I left the dealership. If you think you are the kinda person that never forgets their key so you don't need to know it. know that keys can fail.
@ I would be pretty much guaranteed to lose both!😂😂 on a long trip, if I have a riding partner, I’ll give him the spare key…. And hope he doesn’t lose it!!

Some really good information for folks on this one, Nick. Great job!
Thank you Eric , I hope it was helpful and something to consider when getting an Indian touring bike new or used. 🙂👍

Thanks Jerry, yeah I seems pretty straight forward 🙂👍
Right information nick. I’ve hat to use my pin 2 times I think.
Thank you Moto. That pin is nice have in a pinch 🙂🏍️👍
@@TechNickRides indeed, Thanks and good to catch up with you Nick

Great advice, and I did set it afterwards . I usually don’t forget my key but having this as a bsckup is nice to have.
I'm lost. My Honda Shadow doesn't have a touch screen. Is it under the seat? 😉
Lol nah that’s where the nitrous bottle is 😁🏍️⚡️👍
You didn’t tell us your new Pin#. 😃👍👍
Oops I did, didn’t I 😉😁🏍️👍
what the dealer charger you to read the pin?
About 15 min of shop labor. Roughly $40.
@@TechNickRides that's not bad
😎👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
🙂🏍️👍
way to much tech on everything at this point. I just want normal keys again. I can't even change the radio in my car without a software update..
Yeah tech in everything nowadays hard to get away from it. Seems like everything has at least a little bit of tech in it
I think I prefer to just have a key, and a spare!!!
I agree can’t go wrong with an extra key, although I don’t normally carry an extra one with me. if I did I would more afraid of losing both, lol
@ I would be pretty much guaranteed to lose both!😂😂 on a long trip, if I have a riding partner, I’ll give him the spare key…. And hope he doesn’t lose it!!
good deal like how indain put on the screen whole lot easier then Harley left right up down BS LOL
Yeah it’s not to bad to find.
Any excuse to ride is a good excuse!!!
Absolutely 🙂🏍️👍
