ISA-24-01

Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions

Indian Motorcycle found that some 2022 and 2023 Chief models can exhibit a noise in the front of the motorcycle when operating slowly on rough or bumpy road conditions. The sound can be difficult to properly diagnose as it may resemble a metallic clicking in the front headlight area. The sound is coming from the rebound check valve within the front suspension and occurs when switching between compression and rebound. To address this, Indian Motorcycle has released this Service Advisory with instructions to install a new fork service kit that has an updated rebound check valve to correct the noise. This Service Advisory replaces ISA-21-01.

To address this concern, Indian Motorcycle has released this Service Advisory to instruct dealers to reflash affected vehicles with an updated Engine Control Module (ECM) Calibration.
