• The motorcycle is designed for on-road use with one rider (and one passenger if the motorcycle is equipped with a passenger seat). Never exceed the GVWR or the GAWR . Refer to the

Specifications section, or the Manufacturing Information/VIN label on the motorcycle frame for model-specific information.

• Riding off-road, riding with more than one passenger, or carrying weight exceeding the maximum weight rating can make handling difficult, which could cause loss of control.

• During the first 500 miles (800 km) of operation, follow all

break-in procedures as outlined on page 67. Failure to do so can

result in serious engine damage.

• If your motorcycle is equipped with saddlebags, a windshield or a passenger backrest, be prepared to reduce operating speed to maintain stability.

W TTHHEESSEE GGEENNEERRAALL SSAAFFEE RRIIDDIINNGG

PPRRAACCTTIICCEESS

• Before each ride, perform the Pre-Ride Inspections. Failure to do so may result in damage to the motorcycle or an accident.

• Until you're thoroughly familiar with the motorcycle and all of its controls, practice riding where there is little or no traffic.

Practice riding at a moderate speed on various road surfaces and in different weather conditions.

• Know your skills and limits, and ride within them.

• Allow only licensed, experienced operators to ride your motorcycle, and then only after they have become familiar with its controls and operation. Make sure all riders read and understand this rider’s manual before riding.

• Do not ride when you're fatigued, ill or under the influence of alcohol, prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs or any other drugs. Fatigue, illness, alcohol and drugs can cause drowsiness, loss of coordination and loss of balance. They can also affect your awareness and judgment.

• If your motorcycle operates abnormally, correct the problem immediately. See the INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Service Manual or an authorized INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer.

• Ride defensively, as if you are invisible to other motorists, even in broad daylight. A motorist's failure to see or recognize a motorcycle is the leading cause of automobile/motorcycle accidents . Ride where you're clearly visible to other motorists, and observe their behavior carefully.

• Be especially cautious at intersections, as these are the most likely places for an accident.

• To prevent loss of control, keep your hands on the handlebars and your feet on the footrests.

• Be aware that a highway bar is not designed to protect the rider from injury in a collision.

• Obey the speed limit and adjust your speed and riding technique based on road, weather and traffic conditions. As you travel faster, the influence of all other conditions increases, which can affect the motorcycle's stability and increase the possibility of losing control.

10

• Do not move or operate the motorcycle with the steering locked

(if equipped), as the severely restricted steering could result in loss of control.

• Reduce speed when:

– The road has potholes or is otherwise rough or uneven.

– The road contains sand, dirt, gravel or other loose substances.

– The road is wet, icy or oily.

– The road contains painted surfaces, manhole covers, metal grating, railway crossings or other slippery surfaces.

– The weather is windy, rainy or otherwise causing slippery or rapidly changing conditions.

– Traffic is heavy, congested, not allowing sufficient space between vehicles or otherwise not flowing smoothly.

– You are being passed in either direction by a large vehicle that may produce a wind blast in its wake.

• When approaching a curve, choose a speed and lean angle that allows you to pass through the curve in your own lane without applying the brakes. Excessive speed, improper lean angle or braking in a curve can cause loss of control.

• Ground clearance is reduced when the motorcycle leans. Do not allow components to contact the road surface when leaning the motorcycle in a curve, as this could cause loss of control.

• Do not tow a trailer. Towing a trailer can make the motorcycle hard to handle.

• Retract the sidestand fully before riding. If the sidestand is not fully retracted, it could contact the road surface and cause loss of control.

SAFETY

• To maximize braking effectiveness, use the front and rear brakes together. Be aware of the following braking facts and practices:

– The rear brake provides 40% of the motorcycle's stopping power, at most. Use the front and rear brakes together.

– To avoid skidding, apply the brakes gradually when the road is wet or rough, or contains loose or other slippery substances.

– If possible, avoid applying the brakes while making a turn.

Motorcycle tires have less traction during turns, so braking will increase the possibility of skidding. Bring the motorcycle to the upright position before applying the brakes.

– With new pads and rotors, allow up to 250 miles (500 km) of operation in urban driving conditions (not highway cruising) to allow pads to mate with new rotors. Brakes should be used frequently. During this time brake performance will be less effective. Avoid using brakes harshly unless in an emergency. Brake efficiency will gradually increase during this seating period.

• Hot engine and exhaust components can cause burns to skin and can ignite a fire if exposed to flammable materials. Always park the motorcycle clear of flammable materials and where people are not likely to contact hot components.

11

SAFETY

PPRROOTTEECCTTIIVVEE AAPPPPAARREELL

Wear protective apparel to decrease the risk of injury and increase riding comfort.

• Always wear a helmet that meets or exceeds established safety standards. Approved helmets in the USA and Canada bear a U.S.

Department of Transportation (DOT) label. Approved helmets in

Europe, Asia and Oceania bear the ECE 22.05 label. The ECE mark consists of a circle surrounding the letter E, followed by the distinguishing number of the country which has granted approval. The approval number and serial number will also be displayed on the label. Laws in some areas require that you wear an approved helmet. Head injuries are the leading cause of fatalities in accidents involving motorcycles. Statistics prove that an approved helmet is the most effective protection in preventing or reducing head injuries. The helmet should fit snugly, be securely fastened, have no obvious defects, and have not previously been involved in an accident/crash.

• Wear eye protection to protect eyes from wind or airborne particles and objects. Wearing a face shield can help protect your face in an accident/crash and protect face from wind or airborne particles or objects. Laws in some areas require that you wear eye protection. We recommend that you wear approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) bearing markings such as VESC 8, V-8, Z87.1, or CE. Make sure protective eyewear is kept clean.

• All riders should wear bright or light-colored and/or reflective clothing to improve visibility to other motorists. A motorist's failure to see or recognize a motorcycle is the leading cause of automobile/motorcycle accidents.

• Wear gloves, a jacket, heavy boots and long pants to prevent or reduce injury from abrasions, lacerations or burns should the motorcycle fall. Wear boots with low heels, as high heels can catch on pedals or footrests. The combination of boots and pants should completely cover legs, ankles and feet, protecting skin from engine and exhaust system heat.

• Do not wear loose, flowing clothing or long boot laces, as they can catch on handlebars, levers or footrests, or they can become entangled in the wheels, causing loss of control and serious injury.

CCAARRRRYYIINNGG AA PPAASSSSEENNGGEERR

WARNING

Do not carry a passenger unless the motorcycle is equipped with passenger seat and passenger footrests.

CCAARRRRYYIINNGG CCAARRGGOO

Use the following guidelines when attaching cargo or accessories to the motorcycle. Where applicable, these guidelines also refer to the contents of any accessories.

• Keep cargo and accessory weight to a minimum, and keep items as close to the motorcycle as possible to minimize a change in the motorcycle’s center of gravity. Changing the center of gravity can cause loss of stability and handling and could cause loss of control.

• Adjust ride height as needed. See page 110.

12

• Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your motorcycle.

• Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the motorcycle.

Maintain even weight distribution by checking accessories and cargo to make sure they’re securely attached to the motorcycle before riding and whenever you take a break from riding.

Uneven weight distribution or sudden shifting of accessories or cargo while you’re riding may cause difficult handling, loss of control and driving hazards for other motorists (if cargo falls from the motorcycle).

• For riding comfort and to ensure proper ground clearance, adjust rear shock air pressure (if equipped) as specified on the

label located under the left side cover. See page 110.

• Do not attach large or heavy cargo such as sleeping bags, duffel bags or tents to the handlebars, front fork area or front fender.

Cargo or accessories placed in these areas can cause instability

(due to improper weight distribution or aerodynamic changes) and could cause loss of control. Such items can also block air flow to the engine and cause overheating that can damage the engine.

• Do not exceed the maximum cargo weight limit of any accessory

(see accessory instructions and labels). Do not attach cargo to an accessory not designed for that purpose. Either circumstance could result in an accessory failure that could cause loss of control.

• Always obey posted speed limits.

• Do not attach anything to the motorcycle unless specifically designed for that purpose by INDIAN MOTORCYCLE.

SAFETY

SSAADDDDLLEEBBAAGGSS AANNDD OOTTHHEERR SSTTOORRAAGGEE

Whenever operating a motorcycle equipped with cargo storage features such as saddlebags, racks, glove boxes or other storage compartments:

• Never ride at excessive speeds. Storage features and cargo, combined with the lifting or buffeting effects of wind, can make a motorcycle unstable and cause loss of control.

• Distribute weight evenly on each side of the motorcycle.

• Do not exceed the individual weight limit of any saddlebag or other storage compartment. Refer to the storage capacity label located on or near the storage feature.

• NEVER EXCEED the GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) or the GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR), regardless of whether or not any storage feature is loaded to capacity.

Exceeding the weight rating can reduce stability and handling and cause loss of control.


UUSSEE OOFF AACCCCEESSSSOORRIIEESS

Because INDIAN MOTORCYCLE cannot test and make specific recommendations concerning every accessory or combination of accessories sold, the operator is responsible for determining that the motorcycle can be safely operated with any accessories or additional weight. Use the following guidelines when choosing and installing accessories:

13

SAFETY

• Do not install accessories that impair operator visibility or the stability, handling or operation of the motorcycle. Before installing an accessory, be sure that it does not:

– reduce ground clearance when the motorcycle is either leaned or in a vertical position;

– limit suspension or steering travel or your ability to operate controls;

– displace you from your normal riding position;

– obscure lights or reflectors.

• Bulky, heavy or large accessories can cause instability (due to the lifting or buffeting effects of wind) and loss of control.

• Do not install electrical accessories that exceed the capacity of the motorcycle’s electrical system. Never install higher wattage light bulbs than those supplied as original equipment. An electrical failure could result and cause hazardous loss of engine power or lights, or damage to the electrical system.

• Use only genuine INDIAN MOTORCYCLE accessories designed for your model.

• Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your motorcycle.


When leaving the motorcycle unattended, turn the engine off.

NOTE

Do not store your key fob near the motorcycle.

Park the motorcycle where people are not likely to touch the hot engine or exhaust system or place combustible materials near these hot areas. Do not park near a flammable source such as a kerosene heater or an open flame, where hot components could ignite combustible materials.

Park the motorcycle on a firm, level surface. Sloped or soft surfaces may not support the motorcycle. If you must park on a

slope or soft surface, follow the precautions outlined on page 77.

When the anti-lock brakes engage during a braking event, the rider will feel pulsing at the brake levers. Continue to apply steady pressure to the brakes for the best stopping performance.

Modifying the motorcycle by removing any equipment or by adding equipment not approved by the manufacturer may void your warranty. Such modifications could make the motorcycle unsafe to ride and could result in severe injury to operator or passenger, as well as damage to the motorcycle. Some modifications may not be legal in your area of operation. If in doubt, contact your authorized INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer.

With the semi-dry sump lubrication system, the engine oil level on the dipstick will fluctuate, depending on the motorcycle’s position and engine temperature when checked. To ensure a proper reading of the engine oil level, follow all inspection procedures closely.

WARNING

Operating with insufficient, deteriorated or contaminated engine oil will cause accelerated wear and may result in engine or transmission seizure, which could result in loss of control and serious injury or death. Check the oil level frequently.

Always check the oil after running a cold engine at idle for 30 seconds. The oil fill/dipstick is located on the left side of the

motorcycle. Always use the recommended oil. See page 155.

1. Position the motorcycle on level ground in the fully upright and centered position.

2. Start the engine (from cold) and allow it to idle for 30 seconds.

Stop the engine.

59


3. Remove the dipstick q and wipe it clean.

6. Add the recommended oil as needed to bring the level within the safe operating range (anywhere between the two marks on the dipstick). If the oil level on the dipstick is anywhere in the safe range, do not add oil. Oil should be added only if the proper oil check procedure is followed and the level is below safe mark.

NOTICE

Oil should be added only if the proper oil check procedure is followed and the level is below the safe mark.

TIP

The approximate volume between the FULL w and ADD e marks on the dipstick is 0.5 qts. (.47 L).

4. Thread the dipstick until fully seated.

TTIIRREESS

WARNING

Operating the motorcycle with incorrect tires, incorrect tire pressure or excessively worn tires could cause loss of control or accident. Underinflation can cause a tire to overheat and result in a tire failure. Always use the correct size and type of tires specified by INDIAN MOTORCYCLE for your vehicle. Always maintain proper tire pressure as recommended in the rider’s manual and on safety labels.

TTIIRREE PPRREESSSSUURREE

Improper tire pressure can result in irregular tire wear, tire failure, reduced fuel economy and a poor riding experience. It can also affect handling and stopping ability.

Slow tire pressure loss over time is normal for a functional tire.

Although a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) will alert the user to a low pressure condition (if equipped), always inspect tire pressure and condition before each ride.

Check tire pressure before riding, when the tires are cold. This will provide the most accurate reading, as riding warms the tires and increases tire air pressure. Tires remain warm for at least 3 hours after a ride. Do not adjust tire pressure immediately after riding.

As tires cool, the pressure will drop and result in underinflation.

Always check and adjust tire pressure when tires are cold.

Using supplied air pressure gauge, adjust tire pressure to the

recommended pressure. See page 125.


TTIIRREE CCOONNDDIITTIIOONN

Inspect the tire sidewalls, road contact surface and tread base. If inspection reveals cuts, punctures, cracks or other wear or damage, replace the tire before riding. Always use the correct size and type of tires specified by INDIAN MOTORCYCLE for your vehicle.

TTIIRREE TTRREEAADD DDEEPPTTHH

EENNGGIINNEE BBRREEAAKK--IINN

The engine break-in period for your motorcycle is the first 500 miles (800 km) of operation. During this break-in period, critical engine parts require special wear-in procedures so they seat and mate properly. Read, understand and follow all break-in procedures to ensure the long-term performance and durability of your engine.

NOTICE

Failure to properly follow the engine break-in procedures outlined in this manual can result in serious damage to the engine. Avoid full throttle operation and other conditions that may place an excessive load on the engine during the break-in period.

The more cautiously you treat your motorcycle during the break-in period, the more satisfied you will be with its performance later on. Overloading the engine at low RPM and/or running the engine prematurely at high RPM may result in damage to the pistons and/ or other engine components.

Observe the following precautions during the break-in period:

• Upon initial start-up, do not allow the engine to idle for long periods as overheating can occur.

• Avoid fast starts with wide open throttle. Drive slowly until the engine warms up.

• Avoid running the engine at extremely low RPM in higher gears

(lugging the engine).

• Drive within the recommended operating speeds and gears.

OPERATION

PPAARRKKIINNGG OONN AA SSLLOOPPEE

If parking on a slope is unavoidable, park with the front wheel uphill from the rear wheel. Place the transmission in first gear and position the motorcycle so that it is stable when it rests on the sidestand.

PPAARRKKIINNGG OONN AA SSOOFFTT SSUURRFFAACCEE

If parking on a soft surface is unavoidable, place a sidestand footrest under the foot of the sidestand to provide a firm surface.

The sidestand footrest must be strong enough and large enough to support the motorcycle’s weight without sinking into the parking surface.

Asphalt becomes soft in hot weather. A sidestand can sink into soft asphalt and the motorcycle may fall. When parking on asphalt in hot weather, use a sidestand footrest.

CAUTION

Hot engine and exhaust components can cause burns to skin and can ignite a fire if exposed to flammable materials. Always park the motorcycle clear of flammable materials and where people are not likely to contact hot components.

Change the engine oil at the intervals specified in the Periodic

Maintenance Table beginning on page 81. Change the oil more

frequently if the motorcycle is subjected to severe use, especially

operation in cold weather. See page 80.

NOTICE

Failure to perform frequent oil changes during cold weather operation can result in condensation forming. Freezing condensation can result in plugged oil lines and serious engine damage.

The total amount of oil required for the oil and filter change is approximately 5 qts. (4.7 l). Follow all instructions carefully. Do not overfill.

NOTICE

After an oil change, the low oil pressure indicator may illuminate when the engine is started. If this occurs, do not increase RPM above idle speed until the indicator turns off. Operating above idle speed could result in damage to the engine.

MAINTENANCE

3. Clean the area around the scavenge area drain plug q . Place a drain pan under drain plug.

CAUTION

Hot oil can cause burns to skin. Do not allow hot oil to contact skin.

1. Change the oil and filter when the engine is warm. If the engine is cold, start the engine and allow it to run at idle for at least 5 minutes.

2. Park the motorcycle with the sidestand down on a firm, level surface. If using a service lift, the motorcycle should be centered.

4. Remove the drain plug. Allow the oil to drain completely.

6. Reinstall the drain plug. Torque to Specification. If sidestand bumper bracket was removed, reinstall. Torque fastener to specification.

TORQUE

Drain Plug: 15 ft. lbs. (20 Nm)Bracket fastener: 84 in-lbs (9.5 Nm)

CAUTION

Hot oil can cause burns to skin. Do not allow hot oil to contact skin. Wear leather gloves when handling hot components.

13. With the motorcycle in an upright, centered position, start the engine and idle for approximately 30 seconds.

14. Stop the engine and add an additional 1 qts. (0.95 l) of engine oil. Do not overfill. Overfilling can result in loss of engine performance and an oil-saturated air filter. Use a suction device to remove excess oil if overfilled.

15. To ensure the oil level is within the safe operating range, re-

check the oil level as outlined in page 59.

NOTICE

After an oil change, the low oil pressure indicator may illuminate when the engine is started. If this occurs, do not increase RPM above idle speed until the indicator turns off. Operating above idle speed could result in damage to the engine.

7. Place oil pan beneath the oil filter. Using an oil filter wrench, turn the filter counter-clockwise to remove it.

8. Using a clean dry cloth, clean the filter sealing surface on the engine.

9. Lubricate the o-ring on the new filter with a film of fresh engine oil. Check to make sure the o-ring is in good condition.

10. Install the new filter and rotate it clockwise by hand until the filter gasket contacts the sealing surface, then turn it an additional 3/4 to one full turn.

11. Remove the dipstick. Add only 4 qts. (3.8 l) of the recommended oil at this step. Do not overfill.

MAINTENANCE

The engine coolant level is controlled by the recovery system.

Recovery system components are the recovery bottle, the radiator filler neck, the radiator pressure cap and the connecting hose.

As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding

(heated) excess coolant is forced out of the engine, past the pressure cap, and into the recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases the contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the bottle, past the pressure cap, and into the radiator.

Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the system is purging itself of trapped air. Check the coolant level and maintain as recommended by adding coolant to the recovery bottle.

INDIAN recommends the use of Antifreeze 50/50 Premix. This antifreeze is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water.

To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, we recommend that the system be completely drained every five (5) years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Please see your dealer for this service.

CAUTION

Allow the vehicle to cool before performing any maintenance on the cooling system. Failure to do so could result in burns to skin.

CCOOOOLLAANNTT LLEEVVEELL IINNSSPPEECCTTIIOONN

The Coolant Overflow bottle is located under the driver seat. The level can be viewed without the need to disassemble any components.

1. Remove right-hand saddlebags. See page 48.

2. Sight underneath the fender, above the drive belt to the coolant bottle.

3. With the motorcycle vertical (not on the side stand), ensure coolant level is above the minimum line q and below the frame strut w .

4. If the coolant level is below the bottom line, coolant will need to be added to the system.

104

AADDDDIINNGG CCOOOOLLAANNTT

To add coolant, do the following:

1. Remove the seat and rubber lid.

2. Remove he overflow bottle cap e to add coolant. Add coolant until level is within the marked values.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

Do not fill the coolant bottle to full. 0.3 L of air must remain in the bottle to account for thermal expansion. Failure to do so can result in coolant overflow.

TIP

Do not inspect or adjust drive belt tension when the belt or drive system is wet or hot. Improper adjustment will result.

Cleaning the drive belt will maximize belt and sprocket life and minimize drive line noise. Clean the belt at every tire change.

Clean the belt more often if riding in dirty, dusty or high debris environments.

1. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with a cup of warm water.

2. Use a soft nylon brush to clean the belt and sprocket teeth with the soapy water. Clean well in corner areas where road debris and belt dust can collect.

3. Rinse the belt with clear water, then dry thoroughly.

NOTE

The rubber and formed nylon can be left connected while performing this procedure.

IMPORTANT

Read and follow the safety precautions listed on the battery and the proper battery charging procedures outlined in the Owner’s

Manual.

Indian Motorcycle recommends using the BatteryMINDer® 2012

AGM - 2 AMP battery charger (PN 2830438) to charge and maintain AGM batteries. The charger can be found on the Polaris

PG&A website.

Batteries that fall below 12.5V run the risk of sulfation, a condition whereby sulfate crystals form inside the battery and significantly reduce performance. AGM chargers are designed specifically for charging AGM type batteries and use high frequency pulses to partially reverse sulfation.

IMPORTANT

The use of non-AGM battery chargers or non-AGM battery tenders may result in a misleading “battery not found” or “open cell” fault message. Please ensure you are using the recommended AGM charger when charging AGM type batteries.

MAINTENANCE

M BBAATTTTEERRYY CCHHAARRGGIINNGG RREECCOOM

W CCHHAARRGGEE

The nominal voltage for an Indian Motorcycle battery is 12.8 Volts when fully charged. The battery will self-discharge when disconnected from a vehicle, and will discharge at a faster rate when connected. If the battery voltage falls below 12.5V, it should be charged immediately using the recommended battery charger.

Batteries which are not connected to a vehicle should be inspected every 2-3 months. The battery must be charged if found to be below 12.5 volts.

Always use the recommended automatic battery charger, and wait for the charger to complete the charge cycle before disconnecting it.


W 33 VVOOLLTTSS))

AGM batteries discharged to a voltage of 3 volts or less may not be recognized by the recommended automatic battery charger. (The minimum voltage threshold recognized by other battery chargers may be as high as 10.5 volts). Often times deeply discharged batteries can be restored by attaching another, fully-charged, battery to “jump start” the low battery. Follow the steps below to restore a deeply discharged battery.

135

MAINTENANCE

1. Carefully connect the two batteries’ positive terminals, then the negative terminals using jumper cables.

2. Connect the recommended battery charger to the low battery and initiate the charging sequence.

WARNING

Always check to ensure the positive cables are connected to the positive terminals before powering the charger on. Reversing polarity when charging can damage electrical components and risk personal injury. Be careful not to let battery cable clamps touch each other.

3. After the charging sequence has initiated, disconnect the fully- charged battery. Always disconnect the fully-charged battery positive first, followed by low battery positive, low battery negative, and finally fully-charged battery negative

4. Proceed with charging both batteries to full capacity. Listed in the table below are the approximate charging times for deeply discharged batteries. Always use the recommended automatic battery charger, and wait for the charger to complete the charge cycle before disconnecting it. The recommended automatic charger will indicate when the battery is fully charged on its display.

1. If the motorcycle will not be driven for more than 2 weeks, maintaining the battery with the Battery Minder 2012-AGM charger (PN 2830438) is recommended.

2. To help prolong battery life, it is recommended to remove the battery from vehicles stored ONE month or longer. To maximize the life of stored batteries, they should be kept in a cool / dry location. Batteries will self discharge more rapidly when stored in extreme temperatures. Batteries should be maintained using the recommended battery charger while in storage.

3. Batteries will self-discharge more quickly when dirty. Periodic cleaning of the battery terminals using a terminal brush will help maximize battery life. Wash terminals with a solution of one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water. Rinse well with tap water and dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.

4. Battery connections should be tightened to the correct torque during installation. This will reduce voltage drop and ensure a reliable connection between the regulator/rectifier and battery.

CCLLEEAANNIINNGG PPRROODDUUCCTTSS

This section provides tips on the very best way to clean, polish and preserve every surface of your beautiful new INDIAN motorcycle.

We recommend the use of our new INDIAN MOTORCYCLE cleaning and polishing products and accessories, which have been specially designed to offer the best care possible for your

INDIAN motorcycle.

In addition to the products recommended in this section for cleaning and polishing, INDIAN MOTORCYCLE also has specialty products for:

• enhancing black and silver engines

• cleaning engines, tires and wheels

• removing brake dust

After cleaning the motorcycle, inspect for damage to the painted surfaces. Chips or scratches should be repaired promptly to prevent corrosion.

For Matte Clear Coat Finish Care, see the Matte Clear Coat Finish

Care section for details.

For Gloss Clear Coat Finish Care, see the Gloss Clear Coat Finish

Care section for details.

For more information, or for answers to your cleaning and detailing questions, please see your INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer.

NOTICE

Do not use pressurized water to wash the motorcycle. Water may seep in and deteriorate wheel bearings, brake caliper assemblies, brake master cylinders, electrical connectors, steering head bearings, and transmission seals.

Do not direct any water stream at air intakes, exhaust outlets, electrical connectors or audio system speakers.

Electrical components may be damaged by water. Do not allow water to contact electrical components or connectors.

1. Before washing, make sure exhaust pipes are cool. Cover each pipe opening with a plastic bag secured with a strong rubber band. Check that the spark plugs, spark plug wire caps, oil fill cap and fuel caps are properly seated.

2. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

3. Rinse off as much dirt and mud as possible with water running at low pressure. Use as little water as possible when washing near the air intake or the exhaust pipe openings. Dry these components thoroughly before using the motorcycle.

4. Clean the front fork tubes thoroughly to reduce fork seal wear and leakage.

145


5. After washing, remove the rubber bands and plastic bags from the exhaust pipes. Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.

6. Make sure the brakes are functioning properly before riding.

NOTICE

Never use a polishing/buffing wax or any sponge that has an abrasive surface when cleaning a matte finish. These products will buff the matte surface of the finish and result in a glossy finish. Never clean matte finishes with a pressure washer, as this will further imbed contaminants into the clear coat and may damage labels and decals.

Clean the windshield with a soft cloth and plenty of warm water.

Dry with a soft clean cloth. Remove minor scratches with a high- quality polishing compound designed for use on polycarbonate surfaces.

NOTICE

Brake fluid and alcohol will permanently damage the windshield.

Do not use glass cleaners, water or soil repellents, and petroleum or alcohol based cleaners on the windshield, as these products can damage the windshield.

Matte finish products are prone to trapping dirt, oils and other contaminants. Always clean this type of finish with warm water and a mild dish-washing detergent. Use a soft sponge to gently rub the surface, then rinse with clean warm water. For stubborn stains such as grease or oil, use a citrus-based cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto the area and rub gently with a soft sponge. Allow the cleaner to sit for a couple of minutes, then rinse well with clean warm water.

Repeat as needed.

GGLLOOSSSS CCLLEEAARR CCOOAATT FFIINNIISSHH CCAARREE

The clear coat finish system used on all INDIAN® motorcycles provides superior protection against the elements. To maximize the benefits of this system, use the following guide to care for the gloss finish on your motorcycle.

• During the first 30 days, when the finish is still fresh, clean the motorcycle with a water rinse only.

• Do not wax the motorcycle for the first 60 days. Doing so can cause loss of the gloss. After 60 days, use only waxes designed for new clear coat finishes.

• Do not use pressurized water to wash the motorcycle. When paint is still fresh, pressurized water could damage the finish. If using a pressure washer is unavoidable, keep the spray nozzle at least 24 inches (60 cm) away from the surface of the motorcycle.

• Wash your motorcycle often, especially when exposed to salty, dusty, acidic or alkaline environments.

• Use warm or cool water and a soft cloth for cleaning.

• Use soaps that are non-abrasive and have a neutral pH (non acidic/non alkaline detergents).

146

• Do not use solvent-based solutions.

• Do not use a dry cloth to remove dust.

• Do not use a stiff bristle brush, which can scratch the surface.

• Do not wash with extremely hot water.

• Do not wash the motorcycle while the surface is hot and avoid washing the motorcycle in the hot sun. Minerals in the water may be difficult to remove once dried on the surface of the motorcycle.

• Do not allow spilled gasoline, motor oil or brake fluid to stand on the paint. Remove these substances immediately by rinsing with water. Use a soft cloth to absorb any remaining residue and dab dry.

• To remove bug remnants or road tar, use only products that are specifically designed for this purpose. Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations to prevent potential damage to the finish. Follow with a wash using the methods described in this section.

• Always brush away any ice or snow, do not scrape off.

• Chips or scratches should be repaired promptly to prevent corrosion.

We recommend using a gentle detergent and water to clean your touchscreen. Wash and dry with a lint free cloth.

• Do not expose to brake fluid.

• Do not expose to gasoline.

• Do not expose to DEET.


SSTTOORRAAGGEE AARREEAA PPRREEPPAARRAATTIIOONN

If you will not operate the motorcycle for more than 60 days, store the motorcycle to prevent damage to the fuel system and the battery and to protect components from corrosion or deterioration.

During storage preparation you might use products that are potentially hazardous; such as fuel stabilizer. When using any of these products, follow the instructions and warnings on the product packaging.

Choose a dry, well-ventilated storage location, inside a garage or other structure if possible. The location should have a firm, flat surface and allow enough space for the motorcycle.

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Do not store the motorcycle in any area (in home or garage) where it could be near open flames, pilot lights, sparks or electric motors. Do not smoke in the storage area.

To best preserve tire condition:

• The storage area should have a relatively constant and moderate temperature.

• The storage surface should be free of oil and gasoline.

• The motorcycle should not be near a radiator or other heat source, or any type of electric motor.

147


To prepare the motorcycle for storage, begin by cleaning and

polishing the motorcycle as outlined beginning on page 145.

Polish chromed and other metal surfaces. Apply protectant to exposed rubber, vinyl and plastic parts. Do not apply rubber protectant to the tire tread surfaces.

FFUUEELL SSTTAABBIILLIIZZEERR

Add fresh fuel to fill the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer. Do not overfill.

Ride the motorcycle or start and run the engine for 15 minutes in a well ventilated area to distribute the stabilizer throughout the fuel system.

TTIIRREE IINNFFLLAATTIIOONN

Inflate the tires to normal pressure. See page 125.

EENNGGIINNEE PPRROOTTEECCTTIIOONN

Change the engine oil.

BBAATTTTEERRYY CCAARREE

1. Remove the battery. See .

2. Clean the battery terminals first with a wire brush to remove any loose deposits.

3. Wash the posts and the ends of the battery cables with a solution of one part baking soda to 16 parts water. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.

148

4. Apply a thin film of dielectric grease to the posts and cable connectors.

5. Clean the outside of the battery with a solution of mild detergent and warm water.

6. Store the battery in a dry area with a temperature of 32° to 90° F

(0° to 32° C).

7. While in storage, fully charge the battery once a month. See .

During extended storage periods, maintain tire pressure and battery voltage at the recommended levels.

RROODDEENNTTSS

Mice and other rodents are often the worst enemy of a stored motorcycle. If the motorcycle will be stored in an area where mice are a concern (particularly in rural areas, barns, sheds, etc.) be sure to take extra measures to deter their infestation. This may include placing a screen mesh over any intake or exhaust openings (remember to remove them when you remove the motorcycle from storage).


1. Park the motorcycle in its storage location. Block the frame to take some of the weight off the front and rear wheels.

TIP

Starting the motorcycle periodically during storage is NOT recommended. Water vapor is a by-product of the combustion process, and corrosion may result unless the engine is operated long enough to bring the oil and exhaust system to normal operating temperature.

1. Install a fully charged battery.

2. Check the oil level. If the motorcycle was stored in an area subject to wide swings in temperature and humidity (such as outdoors), change the engine oil before starting the engine.

NOTICE

During storage, temperature and humidity changes can cause condensation to form in the crankcase and mix with engine oil.

Running the engine with oil that contains condensation can cause engine damage.

2. Secure a plastic bag over the (cooled) exhaust outlets to prevent moisture from entering the exhaust system.

3. Cover the motorcycle with a cover made from a durable, breathable material designed for storage. Covering the motorcycle helps protect it from dust and other airborne materials. The cover must be of a breathable material to prevent moisture from building up on the motorcycle which can cause oxidation of metal surfaces.

3. Inspect the storage area for signs of fluid leaks. Identify and perform service to any leaking components.

4. Remove any intake or exhaust mesh covers installed for rodent protection.

5. Install new spark plugs if necessary.

6. Perform the pre-ride inspections. See page 57.

7. Perform a road test. See page 140.

8. Wash and polish the motorcycle. Wax, polish or apply protectant to appropriate components.

WARRANTY

As the motorcycle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Rider’s manual. INDIAN

MOTORCYCLE recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your motorcycle, but INDIAN MOTORCYCLE cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance. You are responsible for presenting your motorcycle to an INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. As the motorcycle owner, you should be aware that INDIAN

MOTORCYCLE may deny your warranty coverage if your motorcycle or part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact INDIAN MOTORCYCLE COMPANY, 2100

Highway 55, Medina, MN 55340, or the California Air Resources Board, P.O. Box 8001, 9528 Telstar Avenue, El Monte, CA 91734-8001.

States Environmental Protection Agency, and the California Air Resources Board; and

B.

is free from defects in material and workmanship which cause such motorcycle to fail to conform with applicable regulations of the

In the State of California only, Emission Control System emergency repairs, as provided for in the California Administrative Code, may be performed by other than an authorized INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer. An emergency situation occurs when an authorized INDIAN

MOTORCYCLE dealer is not reasonably available, a part is not available within 30 days or a repair is not complete within 30 days. Any replacement part can be used in an emergency repair. INDIAN MOTORCYCLE will reimburse the owner for expenses, including diagnosis, not to exceed INDIAN MOTORCYCLE’s suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labor charges based on

INDIAN MOTORCYCLE’S recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate. The owner may be required to keep receipts and failed parts in order to receive compensation.
