Indian Scout, Scout Bobber Recalled In The US

Indian Motorcycle has issued a recall for certain Indian Scout and Indian Scout Bobber motorcycles in the US over an issue with the braking system. The American motorcycle brand is recalling as many as 2,742 motorcycles, and this is the third time a recall has been issued over what is seen as the same manufacturing issue with the braking system. The recall is over a manufacturing issue that allows air to get into the ABS components of the affected bikes, which may result in "possible reduction in brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash," the recall states.

The recall also affects the Indian Scout Bobber

The affected motorcycles include 1,268 Indian Scout motorcycles, and 1,474 Indian Scout Bobber bikes, which may have a small amount of air present in the braking system, which may cause a soft brake lever/pedal feel and a decrease in brake performance. Indian Motorcycle will notify owners, and Indian Motorcycle dealers will bleed the brake fluid in the front and rear ABS systems to evacuate the air, free of charge. On the manufacturing side, Indian Motorcycle has corrected the brake system assembly process to ensure that all air has been evacuated from the ABS. Additionally, Polaris has also made hardware improvements to address assembly process effectiveness.

More than 2,700 motorcycles are affected by the recall. So far, there's no word on any bikes affected in India

Both the Indian Scout and the Indian Scout Bobber are sold in India, but currently, the updated Euro 5/BS6 compliant models are not available on sale in India. New stock of BS6 ready motorcycles are expected to be available only by the end of the year. However, an issue which may render the brakes ineffective is to be taken seriously, and it would be prudent for existing owners of Indian Scout and Indian Scout Bobber motorcycles in India to reach out to Indian dealerships to clarify if a check, or any procedure is required on the bikes already available in India.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
