r/IndianFTR1200

Hello everyone. I am really considering getting a 2024 Ftr sport as my first bike. I have done quite a bit of research and i understand it has a lot of power but I also want a bike I’ll be able to grow into. I need any tips/advice anyone can give. I did read that the rain mode helps with beginners. Thank you!

I'm picking up a used 2023 FTR in white/red on Monday. The bike is missing the passenger seat cover. I'm curious if there's a place / person that would have one without going directly through Polaris and dropping $500-ish on a replacement.

I've been saving money for my upgrade and am torn between the ftr, xsr900, or Mt 09. My dilemma is that I love the looks and sound of the ftr above the other to by a little bit but (and I don't know if it's just because people are more likely to post a bad situation) it seems like the ftr is the red flag bad girl. I've been seeing the topics of factory tuning being bad, indian as a company being sold, multiple starting issues whether it be electronic or bolts vibrating out, screen issues, and recently fogging headlights. Again I love looking at them but part of me thinks that the yamahas are t free better option since their engines are bullet proof and yamaha isn't going anywhere any time soon they just seem the more reliable choice. So has anyone put a decent chunk of miles on or has owned one for a while that hasn't had any issues?

About to get a used 2019 with under 3k miles. I love the look of the low mount toce exhaust but don’t know if there a better place to buy it outside of their main website.

I saw that torqued.com had the same one on sale for $100 cheaper than toceperformance.com but don’t know if they are reputable. Should I look on eBay and Facebook marketplace? Or does anyone here have one they are selling?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks :)
