2019 Indian Scout Overview
For 2019, Indian offers the Scout as a custom / cruiser motorcycle with 1133 cc on tap. The 2019 Indian Scout is built around a Four stroke, 60° V-Twin, DOHC, 4-valves per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 10.7:1. Out on the road, the Scout delivers 100 hp @ 8100 rpm of peak power and 72.2 ft-lbs @ 5900 rpm of torque. In everyday use, the 2019 Scout tips the scales at 253 kg, carries a 12.5-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 673 mm and spans a 1562 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 47.6 kg lighter than the average custom / cruiser motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2019 Indian Scout spec sheet below.
2019 Scout - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⚡
Strong power output: Peak output on the Scout is 100 hp @ 8100 rpm and 72.2 ft-lbs @ 5900 rpm of torque - strong numbers for what it is.
-
🔧
Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
-
📏
Accessible seat height: At just 673 mm, flat-footing at a stop is easy for most riders - a genuine confidence builder for less experienced owners.
-
⚙️
Low-maintenance final drive: Belt drive, 141 tooth final drive is about as close to maintenance-free as motorcycle drivetrains get.
Considerations
-
ℹ️
Age-related wear: No particular mechanical concern flags for the Scout - condition on any used example comes down to how well it's been looked after.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Cooling system servicing
With Liquid cooled, thermal management is largely automatic, but the coolant has a service life of its own - replace it on the manufacturer's interval to protect the water passages and thermostat.
Fuelling & injector care
Fuelling on the Scout comes from fuel injection. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.
Suspension condition on used examples
Suspension duties are handled by 41 mm Telescopic fork up front and Dual shocks at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Belt final drive keeps day-to-day maintenance minimal on the Scout - just periodic tension and wear checks rather than the regular cleaning a chain demands.
Handling the weight at a standstill
The Scout's 253 kg kerb weight is worth factoring into how you handle it at a standstill - parking-lot manoeuvres need a bit more deliberate technique than on a lighter machine.
Scout - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
A pre-purchase check on the 2019 Indian Scout should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept Scout settles to a smooth idle within seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a Scout's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.
Fuel system care
Injector systems like the Scout's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.
