Consumer Description

I currently have 5K miles on the bike. All 5K miles I have had stalling issues. These issues mostly happen when lightly feathering the throttle while pulling out. This issue is not in my clutch work. It seems to be in the throttle sensor. The bike has began to randomly shut down on my while riding. This is always random and cannot be reproduced at will. It does however seem to only happen with a zero throttle position and clutch fully disengaged position (while riding). This is not quite the case when pulling out, the issue presents with a slight throttle and the clutch just starting to friction, if you attempt to throttle the bike dies. The throttle sensor is not correct. Furthermore it seems after the bike has warmed up… like 10 miles and I stop at the store in the mornings, the next start seems to like rock the engine up during startup. This causes a terrible abrupt stop to the engine start and causes the ride command to reboot. This has happened riding furring downshifting at a light where the engine shut off and caused the ride command to reboot, had to coast to the side of the road and wait 20 seconds to get the fuel pump back before it would fire back up. This stalling on the highway has happened 3 times now and without any warning. This is going to get me into an accident. So, the engine stall happened this morning and it actually got the first time threw a check engine light. The absolute first code I have ever been able to see 3464-3 (throttle actuator fault) this solidifies my throttle suspicions all along, as everything has always pointed to the throttle sensor. If Indian does not fix this (there are a ton of people complaining about this same issue on their 2025’s) they are going to hurt or kill someone. This is a safety issue that needs addressed immediately! I will be taking my bike in for it’s 5K service on Saturday and will report it again, but just like the other 10 times I will be dismissed. This is an urgent recall that needs addressed.
