2023 Indian Springfield with Stage 1 kit - Initial Impression

[@ut1004bp]

Yea, I noticed the engine's extra sounds just before you mentioned.. I'm not a fan of that. also Decel popping is a sign of a problem, either a air leak or improper fueling when the stage 1 was completed.

Good points on what could make it do that.

My stunning 2019 Indian Springfield in steel gray and burgundy metallic and I concur, Cruiser Heaven, all day, every day!

For some reason I like the decel pop sound. Though that clearly indicates there is unburnt fuel reaching the exhaust and that's not the most fuel efficient way of running an engine. Sometimes I cause it on purpose, on my bike, by rolling the throttle off just at the right speed, to cause engine braking, but slow enough, there is still decent amount of fuel going through the carbs.

Nice bike - I agree, the bars are too tall.

[@RRatedCustoms]

I guess some like it that way but slow full lock tight turns without putting a foot down would be a challenge.

[@RoadReality]

@@RRatedCustoms Yep, 100%. I like my bars a little lower, and definitely closer to me - much easier for those maneuvers.

Yeah apes look cool but suck for handling.I can control the decel pop by the throttle position.Back it off all the way and you get engine braking,back off about half of that and you get the pop.I ride a 2015 Vintage.

[@RRatedCustoms]

Cool tip! I have to say I am jealous of you having a Vintage. Those that know the difference between the Springfield and Vintage would know why.

@@RRatedCustoms Springfield is better I think? It has a smaller rake. Better handling and a tad bit shorter in length making it even more manoeuvrable. Basically its much better to ride isnt it?

[@williambayliss2367]

Stock bars are the best, almost like beach bars.

I haven't gotten to ride the 111's or 116's. It looks like the engines don't vibrate at idle like HD's, is that the case?

[@RRatedCustoms]

I did not notice any horrible vibration on this bike.

[@HippoDrones]

Loose grips really annoy me, but the bike seems nice other than that! 🙂

[@RRatedCustoms]

Overall it really was a great bike. I wish I did not have the responsibility of leading a rider that was unfamiliar with the area because this bike really needed more in depth check of its power 😉. Plus a stop and walk around was in order too!
