Indian Scout: A Challenging First Engine Start
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- 💭 Working on getting this Indian Scout started, I would run into somewhat of a potential catastrophe. With receiving this bike at auction, it did not have a gas tank. After a few days of rain, water leaked into through the air filter into the airbox so there was a possibility of water in the engine. Before I could start the bike, I needed to go through the engine to verify if water was still present. This would be a new challenge for me to overcome to get this bike started.

Use 3m dry lube next time for the air box will help you more than you know Installing it. Any dry lube will help I just use 3m btw
@@matthewleising84 Yeah, I considered using a bit of oil on the ring but just went with it. Great idea!
Excellent job showing inspection of the internals! You have a really good delivery and I love what you do!
37:38 🤣🤣🤣
Anyone that's done major work to a vehicle, and getting ready to start it for the first time will appreciate that. That's hilarious.
Ghost thought it was gonna stop me from starting this bike. Need to pay some rent and keep that noise to a minimum.😂
I think I was more excited than you wanting the bike to start dude. Good stuff man!!!!! You’re great.
Great Job I’m learning a lot by watching your videos thank you so much for sharing
Can't wait to see what you do with this one.
sometimes its not about needing a lift, it is about making your life easier with leverage, safety, etc. but yes what you are doing works. anyway keep up the fun cheers.
Great vid man your my new favorite motorcycle channel
Welcome aboard!
You should do a springer seat and rear fender delete. / big ass rear tire. Now that you are missing the rear fender. 😎
Hi, Brandon. I did the same, I bought a 2019 crashed scout. I needed the top triple clamp, too. I had to paint the tank and front fender. Only 6k miles on the speedo. Beautiful bike never misses a beat. They are an awesome bike and very fast . Keep up the good work. Love your vlogs
Hella cool!!! How much do you think you saved buying that versus one new/used?
@BrandonBicasso hi, I saved at least $10k . Here in Australia, a new scout is over $20k. Mine owes me $10k all up.
Amazing work bro!! The way you detail every step along the way of rebuilding the bikes is incredible, informative and concise. Appreciate you! ✌🏾😎
Just get some Valve cleaner / carbon remover additive for 4 stroke petrol/gas engines. Works really well.
Sounds awesome, Wish they made their engines prettier.
Amazing job on the bike so far. i just totaled mine about a week ago. A car turned left in front of me. Your videos are an inspiration to potentially rebuild it after I heal. I haven't had a chance to see it yet. hopefully it isn't too bad
Yikes. Hope you heal well and glad you’re still here. If your frame is okay, maybe you can get away with a front end rebuild.
After you said there was water in there, I was hoping you’d pull out a shop vacuum and get some of the water out😩😩😩
Nope. Went deeper which is more interesting anyway.
Sounds great!
I ment to put this damn video on while I made dinner but here i am 39minutes in sitting here excited hes gunna try and turn it over for the first time. Hahaha Guess I gotta just finish it out now :D
Sounds good Brandon! I really want a Scout for my next bike!
I got one 2016 17,000 Mi on it. 4 sale
Brandon, next time take a shop vac and get the water out of the air box prior to pulling it. Odds are the only water was inside that box. But to be safe, pull the plugs (like you did) and just spin the motor. Have a shop rag in each plug hole to catch any fluid. Job done.
Maybe next time. Wanted to see inside the cylinders and if the valves had worn seats from corrosion.
@@BrandonBicasso Plus it made for an informative video.
I'd have pulled plugs, jumped starter and called it done.
Great video- thanks Brandon
Those 60’s are good motors. I had one for my first indian. They quick, spazzy and fun. I always wished there was a 6th gear though final ratios match the full size scout, there is a difference I found between the 2 on the road
Yeah, I don’t miss 5 gear transmissions. That will take some getting used to again.
Should change oil & filter before start up. IMHO
Hi Brandon, eating my popcorn. 😂😂
Always front and center haha
Drain the oil
At some point.
At 19:22 you did not know what that was on top of the Piston, that is one of the 6 million part QR code stickers indian puts these bikes! 😂 lol
Yooooo 😂😂😂 They survive everything!
You ever though about getting a set 1/4 3/8 battery ratchets? Doesn't have to be milwaukee brand. Just a thought.
Yeah. I will at some point. More so less excuses for people by showing them a ratchet will do majority of the work.
What size is the rear tire? Looks like they went up... assuming its still the stock rim
150
Brandon: Hello There
Me, an Intellectual: Ahhh. General Kenobi.
Hey Hey!
Hey Brandon….this is probably a silly question…but…is that a Harbor Freight lift???????
It is! Not a silly question either. Same lift I’ve used on all my rebuilds and maintenance.
Thanks Brandon!…..
Question: Should blue thread lock be used on motorcycle frame rails like I would on a race car?
You could. I refer to the manual for torque values and it wasn't noted to use loctite.I haven't used loctite on my other frame assemblies either.
I figured if you not using a torque wrench then use loctite.
@@P.E.O.ll-RhodesScholarGraduate oh most definitely!!
Something with a bent frame... don't ask me how i know😂.
Good lesson, but a painful one haha
He who dies with the most tools wins!
You only don't need a lift until you try a good one. Don't buy the HF one.
I value moving the jack in the corner and having half of my garage space floor free more than a lift. Different preference. If I get a bigger space at some point then sure. But with 6 motorcycles in a 380 sq ft space at one time and wanting to walk around those bikes, a lift gets in the way.
@@BrandonBicasso
Just keep telling yourself that.
love the videos.. i have a 2021 scout myself. What motorcycle lift are you using. i need one myself... :)
Harbor Freight : )
Excellent as usual sir! Magnum! Don't forget the Magnum!
Haha, I haven’t.
Hey Brandon 👋 I have a question. Hopefully you see this but do you know if the thermostat cover/ignition coil from the previous scout models that has the est. 1901 badge on it do they fit the 2024 scout? It says it only fits the 2017 but I've seen it on the 2022 models. The early production ones.
I haven't tried it, but it uses a bracket that mounts in place of the non-1901 piece. The 1901 piece sits on the bracket. Scout parts are interchangeable. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
What's up Brandon, I don't know if you have a seat for the bobber yet but I have a stock one id like to give you for free. Just pay shipping and it's yours.
Appreciate it! I'm not sure what I will do with the rear end yet. I'd rather wait than get it here and it just sits in the garage cause I didn't use it.
You have yourself a good deal I think, Indians are good bikes
nice work
My man Brandon does another one.
Now my thumbs hurt from trying to help you. Thanks for the video.
Your service is thanked. : )
You are so busy! Good work man!
