Indian Scout 1133 & 1250 Servicing, Dyno Tuning & Suspension Upgrades

The Indian Scout has always been a head-turner. With its heritage styling and big, punchy motor, it’s a bike that blends classic looks with modern muscle. The well-loved Indian Scout 1133cc has long been a favourite among riders who want a mix of reliability and raw performance, while the new Indian Scout 1250 pushes things even further with more grunt and refinement. But here’s the thing: straight out of the showroom, both the 1133 and 1250 have a couple of weak spots. The stock suspension is average at best, and the factory ECU tuning holds the motor back from its real potential. That’s where we come in. At Platinum Motorcycles Melbourne, we know how to get your Scout running at its absolute best.

Indian Scout Suspension Upgrades Melbourne

Is the Indian Scout suspension any good? Straight answer: not really. Both the 1133 and the new 1250 can feel harsh and unsettled on Australian roads. That’s why suspension upgrades are one of the best mods you can make. We offer complete Indian Scout suspension overhauls, starting around $2250. A typical package includes:

  • Brand new rear shocks 

  • New Fork springs matched to your weight and riding style

  • New oil and valvling unit

  • Expert installation and fine-tuning by our suspension specialists

The result? Better handling, more comfort, and a Scout that actually feels planted through corners – no more fighting the bike over bumps.

Indian Scout 1133 & 1250 Dyno Tuning Melbourne

How much power does an Indian Scout 1133 or 1250 really make? More than the factory lets it. The stock ECU is heavily restricted, leaving torque and throttle response on the table. Our custom dyno tuning unlocks that hidden performance. We adjust fuelling, timing, and remove unnecessary limiters – the end result is sharper throttle response, stronger mid-range torque, and a noticeable power increase. For reliability and safety, we also recommend pairing your tune with an S&S airbox mod. It helps the engine breathe properly and keeps everything running cool and consistent.

Indian Scout Servicing Intervals – What We Recommend

How often should I service my Indian Scout? Indian recommends 8,000km and 32,000km intervals. But from experience, that’s stretching things too far for Aussie road conditions. At Platinum Motorcycles Melbourne, we suggest:

  • General logbook service every 4,000km or annually (whichever comes first)

  • Oil and filter changes kept on the tighter side

  • Major checks at mileage milestones for long-term reliability

Stay on top of it and your Scout will reward you with years of trouble-free riding.
