Indian Scout Sixty 2018-2019 Service Manual

Cycle World's own confirmed review makes the direct comparison Indian was clearly gunning for: "one of three bikes in Indian's 'midsize' class, the Scout Sixty is the least expensive pathway to Indian ownership. Its liquid-cooled V-twin displaces 60ci (999cc) and is rated at 78 hp with 65 pound-feet of torque — 13 percent larger and 19 percent torquier than Harley's base 54ci (883cc) Sportster Super Low. The Indian motor also spins faster to deliver peak torque at 5,800 rpm versus a relaxed 3,750 rpm for the Sportster." That same review notes one of the platform's genuine standout features: "a lowdown solo seat; measuring just 25.3 inches off the deck, it's one of the lowest in the industry."

Power comes from a 999cc liquid-cooled 60-degree V-twin, DOHC with 4 valves per cylinder, delivering the confirmed 78 hp and 65 lb-ft of torque figures — a real, deliberate detune from the standard Scout's shared architecture. Motoplanete's own confirmed technical account explains exactly how Indian achieved that lower output without a genuine engine redesign: "by losing cubic capacity, the watts have dropped from 100 to 78 horsepower... This Scout has lost its sixth gear. Don't think that Indian has reworked the transmission and tightened up the ratios to compensate for the machine's reduced power." That same source confirms body and chassis are otherwise identical to the full-size Scout — "only performance and chrome are down a category."

VikingBags' own confirmed year-by-year history flags real running changes worth knowing across this exact span: "the 2018 Indian Scout Sixty came with an all-new battery voltage screen which helped to direct the electric current," and Total Motorcycle's own confirmed 2019 press release details a genuine safety upgrade the following year: "ABS is standard on every Scout Sixty color option and optional on the Thunder Black option" — a real distinction from the 2018 model, where ABS availability was more limited across the color range. New paint options for 2019 included White Smoke, Ruby Metallic, and Star Silver over Thunder Black, alongside a new USB Charging Port Kit compatible with any 2016-2019 Scout Sixty.

Motorcycle.com's own confirmed 2018 pricing lists $8,999 MSRP, the genuine entry point into Indian's whole lineup that year. A real long-term owner review collected by Motorcycle.com from a first-time rider confirms genuine satisfaction after months of ownership: "this bike handles very well and has the power when I need it," praising Polaris for "making a dependable, comfortable, stylish motorcycle." Standard equipment shared the full-size Scout's cast-aluminum frame and twin-shock rear suspension, with a genuinely close family resemblance to its more powerful siblings across this exact production span.

This factory service manual covers the procedures, torque specs, and diagrams needed to keep a 2018-2019 Scout Sixty running the way it was built to.
