You are wrong.

A simple press unit would deform at those hp and torque #....

Your such and idiot....lol... I have maintained and service one of the most complicated bike that was ever built by man for some 20 odd years....the KTM 950 , and its still in mint condition...and wouldn't be affraid to take it cross country...wyll you only worked on tractor engines...lol.

The difference is that I know and you don’t.

I can think of two reasons. First is that the seat will probably be too high for you. Second is the cost of paying someone to maintain it for you, it will end up being a money pit.

Welded, double Welded and I think a few are triple Welded...

Why is that now...lol...it would only be used in town...

I don’t think that would be a good bike for you.

Those Harley motors use pressed cranks.

Anyway make it easy for yourself and just admit defeated again...I know its extremely hard for you to admit when you are wrong...

Well I can actually tell you that the Harley engine in King of the bagger are not pressed in crank design only...they are all welded and modified, the Indian Challenger uses the same exact crank that is in my 2023 with no modifications and those thing run around 180 hp....try doing that with a stock Harley crank and let me know what happens...kaboom!! Lol.

They don’t, they do swap out the crank for higher power applications but there is easily a 50/50 split between S&S pressed cranks and welded cranks. You would know that if you had actual knowledge, that’s the problem with Google Ai retards, no actual knowledge.

Aye whatever, it has a toothed piece of tin on the flywheel instead of a properly machined piece. You are a stuck record. Harley will definitely win the Bagger World Cup.

Well answer this Mr Scotty , why everyone who know anything about Harleys and who are doing any serious engine upgrades ....the first thing they change out is the crank to a welded one....

Don't know Buck but the Indian crank looks way more solid than the Harley one...Harley crank looks like its held together with pop rivets..

I have significantly more mechanical knowledge than you, you are basically a tyre fitter that pretends to be a mechanic. A forged crank has some advantages but you still need to machine the wrist pin, I prefer fully machined flywheels. Here is the difference, the Indian crank assembly looks like it is made of Lego by comparison. Indian. Harley

Anyway Buck even someone like you with little mechanical know-how can tell you a steel one piece crank is way stronger than a pin press or a welded one....

Not on the poweplus.....Double KABOOM!!!

By the way no engine components are from China....get your fact straight...you are starting to sound like the BBC....lol The powerplus is all American steel made in house in America...

Would you stop embarrassing yourself....or I might have to lay down another smacked down hotel on your candy arse...

All v-twin engines have a crank pin, some are welded and some are pressed, if you were a mechanic you would know that. Indian use both welded and pressed crank pins. Harley had a problem with the early oil pumps which caused sumping on the M8 and crank bearing failure. All dealt with years ago. Incidentally S&S have gone back to pressed pin cranks for all their high power applications with zero failures. Indian had a real problem with their flywheels which they get from China.

Its been on my mind for a long time , im currently looking for a KZ 1000 , 78 or older, chain drive ones...has a project bike, but they are extremely hard to find...ones that are in fare shape...

Hey its a new engine, a few bugs are expected...all those issues have been resolved, unlike Harley who tell there customer...its all normal having and crank vibrate apart at 20 thousand miles....what you are failing to recognize is that indian uses a one piece forge crank and Harleys are still using a press pin crank...soon has any little increase in power output those things explode through the side case....

Really, are they going to address the rocker arm issues, the flywheel problems, the cold starting issues, fuel pump problems, just look at the forums, they are utter shite?
