After checking things out yesterday...wyll holding the front brake and rocking the bike back and forth...something not right...and no its not the frame or the stearing head...lol...but something is definitely loose...its coming from the forks...bushings are shot....first time ive had a bike fork bushings go bad on a 2 years-old machine....I think the fork on these are a little on the weak side...

Are you sure? Could be a big old crack in that cast aluminium frame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get a burger flipper to do it you're going to find a beef patty where the fork seal should be and a slice of cheese as replacement for the fork oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see Pedro Buckster is just full of shit...there is no such problem with any Indian frame...the famous pic Buckster is spreading around is from a 2017 chief with a side car fitted to it and sufferd a major crash...
