Las Vegas, NV United States | How many of us do this??? I got a surprise on the way home from work and had 1 back out far enough to scrape the swingarm. Had to use vise grips to get it out. When I got home (slowly) and checked the other 4 one of the others took almost 2 turns to tighten..Just wondering. Will try and attach pictures. Look like pulley threads are not good, can't tell how bad swingarm is yet. Will let you know. |

New Bohemia, VA | Check your bike more often. The worse I had happen was the rear brake pad bolt snuck out on me and I lost my rear pads, and braking. The second worse thing was I failed to tighten my rear axle and it was loose for about 2 weeks, and I was riding everyday and didn't notice it until I did a shift without the clutch. |

Grand Cane, LA | Is it my imagination or am I not seeing any trace of thread lock? The first time I took my pulley off of the '08 Vision to replace a tire, there was white thread locker on the bolts. Yes I know I should've had to remove the pulley, but my friend's tire machine wouldn't hold it without removing it or the brake disc. |

| in 2011 I believe they went to bolts
2008 to 2010 they had studs with nuts
I would heli coil the rim and then get new bolts |

Las Vegas, NV United States | Just an update. My guys at the dealer came thru and are awesome. Indian motorcycles on boulder highway in henderson nevada. They are going to replace all 5 pulley bolts and also replace the swingarm. Just have to wait for parts to come in. Phone calls, patience and being polite goes a long ways. A bad situation that got resolved the correct way. Way to go Drew and Jim!!! |
