Safety Safe Riding Practices

WARNING

Improper use of this motorcycle can result in serious injury or death to you, your passenger and others. To minimize the risk of injury, read and understand the information contained in this section before operating the motorcycle. This section contains safety information specific to the INDIAN motorcycle, as well as information about general motorcycle safety. Anyone who rides the motorcycle (operators and passengers) must follow these safety precautions.

Motorcycling has inherent risks.

You can minimize those risks, but you can't eliminate them completely. Even if you're an experienced motorcycle operator or passenger, read all of the safety information in this manual before operating the motorcycle.

• Take a rider education course from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation or another qualified instructor. The course will help you develop or refresh your expertise in safe riding habits through instruction and riding. For information on Motorcycle Safety Foundation rider education courses in your area, call 1-800-446-9227 or visit www.msf-usa.org.
- Read and understand all information in this rider's manual.
- Observe all maintenance requirements specified in this manual. See the INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Service Manual or an authorized INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer.

Design characteristics affect how you should ride the motorcycle:

• The motorcycle is designed for on-road use with one rider and one passenger. Never exceed the GVWR or the GAWR. Refer to the Specifications section of this manual (page 124) 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 in the break-in section beginning on page 67. Failure to do so can result in serious engine damage.
• Some models include saddlebags, a windshield or a passenger backrest as standard equipment. To maintain stability, be prepared to reduce the operating speed of motorcycles equipped with these items.

Safety

Safe Riding Practices

Follow these general safe riding practices:

• Before each ride, perform the pre-ride inspections as outlined beginning on page 57. 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.

Safety Safe Riding Practices

• 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.

• 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.

Anti-Lock Brake System Response

- 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.

Safe Riding Practices

Carrying a Passenger

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

To carry a passenger safely:

• Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your motorcycle. Refer to the Specifications section of this manual (page 124) or the Manufacturing Information/VIN label on the motorcycle frame for model-specific information.
• Adjust ride height as needed. See pages 89-91.

• Direct the passenger to hold onto you or to the passenger hand strap with both hands and to keep both feet on the passenger footrests. Do not carry a passenger who cannot place both feet firmly on the passenger footrests. A passenger who is not holding on properly, or who cannot reach the passenger footrests, can shift their body erratically, which can make the motorcycle hard to handle and cause loss of control.

• Before riding, be sure your passenger knows safe riding procedures. Discuss any safety information unfamiliar to your passenger. A passenger who is unaware of safe riding procedures may distract you or make movements that make the motorcycle hard to handle.

• Adjust your riding style to compensate for the differences in handling, acceleration and braking caused by the additional weight of the passenger. Failure to do so can cause loss of control.

Safety

Safe Riding Practices

Protective Apparel

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. 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.

- Wear eye protection to protect eyes from wind or airborne particles and 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.

Safety

Use of Accessories

Because INDIAN MOTORYCLE 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:

- 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. See page 114.
• Use only genuine INDIAN MOTORYCLE accessories designed for your model.
• Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your motorcycle.
• Adjust ride height as needed. See pages 89-91.

Safety

Modifications

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.

Parking the Motorcycle

When leaving the motorcycle unattended, turn the engine off. 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 78.

Saddlebags

Whenever operating a motorcycle with saddlebags or cargo:

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

- Distribute weight evenly on each side of the motorcycle.

- Do not exceed the individual weight limit of each saddlebag.

- NEVER EXCEED GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) or the GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR), regardless of whether or not the saddlebags are loaded to capacity. Exceeding the weight rating can reduce stability and handling and cause loss of control.

- Adjust ride height as needed. See pages 89-91.

Carrying Cargo

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 pages 89-91.

- 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 as specified on the label located under the left side cover. See page 90.

- 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 MOTORYCLE.

Safety

Transporting the Motorcycle

If you must transport the motorcycle:

• Use a truck or trailer. Do not tow the motorcycle with another vehicle, as towing will impair the motorcycle's steering and handling.
• Position and restrain the motorcycle in an upright position. If the motorcycle leans to one side, gasoline may leak from the fuel tank and result in a fire hazard or damage to the finish.
• Do not restrain the motorcycle using the handlebars.
• Loop tiedown straps (from the front) up and over the lower triple clamp, using care to not interfere with wiring and brake lines. Place tiedowns as wide apart as possible on the truck or trailer bed for best stability.

Fuel and Exhaust Safety

Always heed these fuel safety warnings when refueling or servicing the fuel system. For fueling procedures, see page 69.

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.

• Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
• Always turn off the engine before refueling.
- Always refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
- Open the fuel cap slowly. Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck.
- Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where refueling is performed or where gasoline is stored.

Gasoline and gasoline vapors are poisonous and can cause severe injury.

• Do not swallow gasoline, inhale gasoline vapors, or spill gasoline. If you swallow gasoline, inhale more than a few breaths of gasoline vapor, or get gasoline in your eyes, see a physician immediately.
• If gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and water and change clothing.

Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause loss of consciousness or death in a short time.

• Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area.
• Never inhale exhaust gases.

Safety Maintenance

Safety

WARNING

Failure to perform safety maintenance as recommended can result in difficult handling and loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death. Always perform the safety maintenance procedures as recommended in this manual. Perform maintenance and repairs promptly. See the INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Service Manual or an authorized INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer.

• Before each ride, perform the Pre-Ride Inspections. See page 57.

Electromagnetic Interference

This vehicle complies with European directive 97/24/EC Chapter 8 requirements, which is equivalent to Canadian ICES-002.

Safety

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

WARNING! Exceeding the gross vehicle weight rating of your motorcycle can reduce stability and handling and could cause loss of control. NEVER exceed the GVWR of your motorcycle.

The maximum load capacity of your motorcycle is the maximum weight you may add to your motorcycle without exceeding the GVWR. This capacity is determined by calculating the difference between your motorcycle's GVWR and wet weight.

Refer to the Specifications section of this manual (page 124) or the Manufacturing Information/VIN label on the motorcycle frame for model-specific information.

When determining the weight you will be adding to your motorcycle, and to ensure you do not exceed the maximum load capacity, include the following:

• operator body weight
• passenger body weight
• weight of all riders' apparel and items in or on apparel
  • weight of any accessories and their contents
• weight of any additional cargo on the motorcycle

Reporting Safety Defects

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could result in a crash or cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying INDIAN MOTORYCLE in writing.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer or Indian Motorcycle Company.

Instruments, Features and Controls Mirrors

Your vehicle is equipped with convex mirrors. Objects seen in a mirror may be closer than they appear. Always adjust mirrors before riding.

To adjust the mirrors, sit on the motorcycle in the anticipated riding position. Adjust the mirrors so that you can see a small portion of your shoulders in each mirror.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (if equipped)

NOTICE: On models equipped with a TPMS, the sensors are located 180° from the valve stem. Use caution when servicing tires. To avoid damaging a sensor, break the bead at the valve stem, then at 90° and 270° from the valve stem as required.

With a TPMS, the pressure of each tire can be viewed in the MFD. If dashes display instead of a pressure value while traveling above 15 MPH (24 km/h), the system may not be functioning properly. See your dealer for service.

The TPMS warning indicator will illuminate if low tire pressure is detected. Always correct low tire pressure promptly. Always inspect tire pressure and condition before each ride. See page 61.

The TPMS display may indicate an increase in tire pressure while riding, a normal occurrence as tires warm up. Riding into colder conditions may result in a drop in tire pressure as tires cool down. Regardless of conditions, low tire pressures should always be corrected promptly.

Instruments, Features and Controls Sidestand

The sidestand is equipped with a safety switch that prevents operation of the motorcycle if the sidestand is deployed.

WARNING! An improperly retracted sidestand could contact the ground and cause a loss of control resulting in serious injury or death. Always retract the sidestand fully before operating the motorcycle.

To park the motorcycle, swing the end of the sidestand downward and away from the motorcycle until it is fully extended. Always turn the handlebars to the left for maximum stability. Lean the motorcycle to the left until the sidestand firmly supports the motorcycle.

CAUTION! If the motorcycle weight is not resting on the sidestand, it will not lock. In this situation, any movement of the motorcycle could cause the sidestand to retract slightly. If the sidestand is not in the full forward position when the motorcycle weight is rested on it, the motorcycle could fall over, possibly causing injury and damage to the motorcycle.

To retract the sidestand, straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright position. Swing the end of the sidestand upward and toward the motorcycle until it is fully retracted.

Brakes

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

The anti-lock brake system automatically reduces or increases brake pressure as needed to provide optimum braking control, reducing the chance of wheel lock-up during hard braking events or when braking on rough, uneven, slippery or loose surfaces. See page 8.

1. The anti-lock brake system cannot be turned off.
2. The ABS indicator always illuminates when vehicle power is turned on. It remains illuminated until the anti-lock system activates, which occurs when vehicle speed exceeds 6 MPH (10 km/h).
3. When the lamp is illuminated, the anti-lock brakes will not activate, but the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally.
4. 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.
5. If the ABS light does not come on when the key is turned to the ON or PARK position, see your authorized INDIAN MOTORCYLE dealer for service.

Pre-Ride Inspections Engine Oil Level

With the semi-dry sump lubrication system, the engine oil level on the dipstick will fluctuate, depending on the motorcycle's position and engine speed when the engine is turned off. 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. We recommended checking the oil each time you refuel.

The engine must be at normal operating temperature when checking the oil level.

NOTICE: Oil level will NOT be accurate if checked on a cold engine. DO NOT ADD oil to bring level to the FULL mark on a cold engine, as this can result in overfilling.

The oil fill cap/dipstick is located on the left side of the motorcycle. A special tool is provided in the tool kit to assist with dipstick removal. Always use the recommended oil. See page 128.

Oil Fill Cap/Dipstick MAX 1 qt. (946 cc) Low

1. Start the engine and allow it to run until it reaches normal operating temperature.
2. Stop the engine and wait one minute before checking the oil level.
   Tip: If the oil level is not checked within 3 minutes, repeat steps 1-2.
3. Position the motorcycle on level ground in the fully upright and centered position.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.
5. Reinstall the dipstick until fully seated.
6. Remove the dipstick and view the oil level.
7. Add the recommended oil as needed to bring the level within the safe operating range (anywhere between the two marks on the dipstick with engine at operating temperature). 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 the safe mark.
8. 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.
   Tip: The approximate volume between the ADD and FULL marks on the dipstick is 32 oz. (.94 l).
9. Repeat steps 1-7 to ensure the level is within the safe operating range.
10. Reinstall the dipstick securely.

Pre-Ride Inspections

Tires

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.

Tire Pressure

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 a good quality pocket-style gauge, adjust tire pressure to the recommended pressure. See page 104.

Tire Condition

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.

Tire Tread Depth

Measure the tread depth near the center of the tread on both tires. See page 103. Replace any tire with a tread depth of less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm).

Pre-Ride Inspections

Front Brake Fluid Level

1. Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright position. Position the handlebars so that the fluid reservoir is level.

2. View the fluid level through the sight glass. The fluid should be clear. Replace cloudy or contaminated fluid.

3. The fluid level should be above the minimum indicator mark in the sight glass.

4. If the fluid level is low, inspect brake pads as outlined on pages 100-101. If pads are not worn beyond the service limit, inspect the brake system for leaks. Check for signs of brake fluid leaks around hoses, fittings, reservoir, and brake calipers.

5. Add brake fluid if necessary. See page 99.

Operation

The operation section of this manual describes how to ensure maximum performance and longevity through the proper care and operation of your motorcycle.

Important areas covered by the operation section include:

• Engine Break-In • Accelerating
• Fueling - Braking
• Starting the Engine • Stopping the Engine
• Shifting Gears • Parking
  • Using Cruise Control (if equipped)

Tip: Even if you're an experienced motorcycle operator or passenger, read all of the safety information in this manual before operating the motorcycle. See page 5.

Engine Break-In

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. Follow all break-in procedures carefully. 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. See page 70.
• 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. See page 68.

Operation

Fueling

Always dismount the motorcycle and refuel on level ground with the sidestand down. Review the fuel warnings. See page 14. Use only the recommended fuel. See page 128. Hold the nozzle while filling. Do not rest the weight of the nozzle and hose on the filler neck. Do not leave the nozzle unattended.

WARNING! Overflows or spilled gasoline could contact a hot engine or exhaust system and cause a fire, which could result in serious injury or death. Do not allow gasoline to contact hot components.

WARNING! Always remove the fuel cap slowly and fill the fuel tank slowly to prevent spillage. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Leave space in the tank to allow for the fuel to expand.

Ornamental Cap (Do not remove) Fuel Cap

1. Turn the fuel cap counter-clockwise to remove it.

2. Insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel tank filler neck. The nozzle-stop at the bottom of the filler neck will prevent over-insertion.

3. Add fuel to the tank until it touches the bottom edge of the filler neck. The tank is full at this level.

4. Always securely install the fuel cap before remounting the motorcycle. To tighten the cap, turn it clockwise until the seal compresses onto the tank, then continue to tighten until the cap ratchets several times.

NOTICE: Fuel can damage painted surfaces and plastic parts. If gasoline spills on the any part of the motorcycle, immediately rinse it off with water or wipe it dry with a clean cloth.

Priming the Fuel System

If the motorcycle runs out of fuel, prime the fuel system before attempting to restart the engine.

1. Fill the fuel tank.
2. Turn the power switch on.
3. Move the engine stop/run switch to the RUN position.
4. Allow the fuel pump to run until it stops (about 2 seconds).
5. Move the engine stop/run switch to the STOP position.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 four to five times.
7. Move the engine stop/run switch to the RUN position.
8. Start the engine. See page 70.

Operation Starting the Engine

The starter interlock system allows the engine to be started only when the transmission is in neutral, or when the transmission is in gear with the clutch disengaged (clutch lever pulled in). The engine should NEVER start in any gear except neutral if the sidestand is down. See page 50.

Tip: If the motorcycle runs out of fuel, prime the system before attempting to restart the engine. See page 69.

1. Perform the Pre-Ride Inspections. See page 57. Properly secure any cargo.

2. Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright position. Retract the sidestand.

Tip: When the electrical system is activated with either the power switch or the starter switch, the key fob must be within range. See page 26.

1. Move the engine stop/run switch to the RUN position.

2. Shift the transmission to neutral.

3. Apply the front brakes. Disengage the clutch (pull the clutch lever fully toward the handlebar).

1. Press and hold the starter switch to engage the one-touch starting feature, which activates the electrical system and starts the engine. Another option is to turn the power switch on, and with the throttle closed, press and release the starter switch to start the engine. The starter motor will crank until the engine starts, but no more than 3 seconds. If the engine does not start, wait five seconds, then try again.

2. If starting a COOL engine, DO NOT open the throttle while starting. Idle speed is computer controlled and idle speed will adjust automatically depending on engine temperature and air temperature. Allow the engine to warm up for 30 seconds minimum at low RPM after starting. Do not run the engine above 2500 RPM. If starting a WARM engine, DO NOT open the throttle while starting.

3. If either the check engine indicator or the low oil pressure indicator (or display) remains on after the engine starts, stop the engine immediately. Refer to the low oil pressure indicator/display information on page 32 or 34.

NOTICE: Operating an engine with a misfire or non-firing cylinder can overheat the catalytic converter, which could result in catalytic converter damage and loss of emission control. DO NOT OPERATE the motorcycle if a misfire or non-firing cylinder exists.

(continued on next page)

Starting the Engine

1. Leave the throttle closed and allow the engine to idle. Idle speed will gradually slow to normal as the engine warms to operating temperature.

Tip: Do not rev the engine or put the transmission in gear immediately after starting the engine. Allow the engine to idle for about 30 seconds after a warm start or at least one minute after a cold start (longer in cold weather). This will allow oil to reach all areas before the engine is put under load.

NOTICE: Do not run the engine at high RPM with the clutch disengaged or the transmission in neutral. Maximum safe engine speed is 5400 RPM. Never exceed the maximum safe RPM as this could result in serious engine damage.

NOTICE: The engine is air-cooled and requires unrestricted air flow to ensure proper operating temperature. Long periods of idling or traveling at very low speeds (such as during a parade) may overheat the engine, resulting in serious engine damage.

Operation

Operation Shifting Gears

WARNING! Forced shifting (with clutch engaged) could cause damage to the engine, transmission and drive train. Such damage could cause loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death. Always pull the clutch lever fully toward the handlebars to disengage the clutch before shifting gears.

This motorcycle is equipped with a six-speed transmission. Neutral is located between first and second gear.

111 Guru Ball N 2 3 4 5 6 1

Press downward on the toe lever to shift to a lower gear. Lift upward on the toe lever to shift to a higher gear. Release the clutch lever after each gear shift.

Shifting to neutral is easiest if the motorcycle is rolling slowly. To shift from first gear to neutral, gently lift the toe lever a half stroke.

Tip: The transmission is in neutral if you can move the motorcycle forward or rearward freely without disengaging the clutch. If the power switch is ON, the neutral indicator illuminates when the transmission is in neutral.

Shifting Gears While Stationary

To locate neutral when the motorcycle is stationary, use one of the following techniques to load and unload the transmission shift dogs, which allows them to disengage:

1. With the clutch disengaged (lever pulled inward), shift into neutral while rocking the motorcycle forward and rearward.
2. With the transmission in first gear, gently release the clutch until it just begins to engage. Apply upward pressure on the toe lever and quickly pull the clutch inward.

To shift gears when the motorcycle is stationary (engine may be running or stopped), disengage the clutch and apply slight pressure on the shift lever while rocking the motorcycle forward and rearward.

Operation

Shifting Gears Shifting Gears While Driving

1. Start the engine. See page 70.
2. With the engine at idle speed, apply the front brakes.
3. Disengage the clutch (pull the clutch lever fully toward the handlebar).
4. Push the toe lever downward until you feel it stop in first gear.
5. Release the brake lever.
6. Simultaneously release the clutch lever while opening the throttle (rolling the throttle control grip rearward) in one smooth motion. As the clutch begins to engage, the motorcycle will move forward.
7. To shift to a higher gear, accelerate smoothly to the recommended shift point. See Recommended Shift Points chart. With a quick motion, simultaneously close the throttle completely and disengage the clutch. Raise the toe shift lever until you feel it stop at the next gear. Simultaneously release the clutch lever and open the throttle in one smooth motion.

Tip: Within the recommended speed ranges (see Recommended Shift Points chart), you can downshift to slow the motorcycle or to increase power. You may want to downshift when climbing a hill or passing. Downshifting also helps to decrease speed when combined with closing the throttle.
8. To shift to a lower gear (downshift), simultaneously pull the clutch lever toward the handlebar and close the throttle. Move the toe shift lever downward until you feel it stop at the next gear. Simultaneously release the clutch lever while opening the throttle.

WARNING! Downshifting improperly could cause transmission damage, loss of traction and loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death.

• Reduce speed before downshifting. Always downshift within the recommended shift points.
• Use extreme caution when downshifting on wet, slippery or other low traction surfaces. Release the clutch lever very gradually in these conditions.
• Avoid downshifting in a curve. Downshift before entering the curve.

Operation

Braking

Always allow sufficient stopping distance so that brakes can be applied gradually.

Tip: Applying slightly more front brake than rear brake generally provides the best braking performance.
1. To slow the motorcycle with the brakes, close the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes evenly and gradually.
Tip: 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.
2. As the motorcycle slows, disengage the clutch, or downshift each time vehicle speed reaches a downshift point.

WARNING! Braking improperly could result in loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death. Avoid braking abruptly. Always apply the brakes gradually, especially on wet, slippery or other low traction surfaces. Avoid braking in a curve or turn. Bring the motorcycle to the upright position before applying the brakes.

Accelerating

Accelerate by opening the throttle (rolling the throttle control grip rearward). For even acceleration, open the throttle with a smooth, continuous motion. When you reach the recommended speed for upshifting, shift up one gear.

WARNING! Accelerating abruptly could cause your body to shift rearward suddenly, which could result in loss of control. Accelerating abruptly could also cause loss of control on low traction surfaces. Loss of control could result in serious injury or death. Always accelerate gradually, especially on wet, slippery or other low traction surfaces.

Stopping the Engine

Before stopping the engine, bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. Shift to neutral or disengage the clutch.

WARNING! Stopping the engine with the transmission in gear while the motorcycle is moving could cause loss of rear wheel traction or engine and transmission damage, which could cause loss of control and serious injury or death. Always stop the engine after the motorcycle is fully stopped and the transmission is in neutral. If the engine stops unexpectedly while the motorcycle is moving, guide the motorcycle to a safe location off the road and away from traffic. Turn the power switch off.

1. When fully stopped, shift into neutral.
2. Move the engine stop/run switch to the STOP position.
3. Turn the power switch off.

• Cruise control can be set in gears 4-6.
• Vehicle speed must be above 20 MPH (32 km/h).
- Set speed will vary slightly in hilly terrain.
- Cruise control will not resume a pre-set speed if the resulting acceleration or deceleration rate is too high or too low. For example, resuming a set speed from 40 MPH (64 km/h) while in 6th gear may cause cruise to disengage.
- Cruise control will not engage if brake lights are not operating properly.
- The clutch or either brake must have been activated at least once since the engine was started for the cruise control to function.

Tires

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.

Tire Replacement

NOTICE: On models equipped with a TPMS, the sensors are located 180^ from the valve stem. Use caution when servicing tires. To avoid damaging a sensor, break the bead at the valve stem, then at 90^ and 270^ from the valve stem as required.

Tires, rims, innertubes and air valves must be correctly matched to wheel rims. Use only the proper size tires specified with the same or higher load ratings. INDIAN MOTORYCLE-recommended tires provide proper clearance between fenders, swingarm, drive belts and other components. See the Specifications section beginning on page 124.

On models equipped with inertubes, inertubes MUST be replaced with new inertubes when tires are replaced. Use only the proper size inertubes.

WARNING! Mismatched tires, rims and air valves may result in damage to the tire bead during mounting or may allow the tire to slip off the rim, possibly resulting in tire failure.

Tire Condition

Inspect the tire sidewalls, road contact surface, and tread base for cuts, punctures, and cracking. Replace damaged tires immediately. See the INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Service Manual or an authorized INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer.

Tire Tread Depth

Replace any tire with a tread depth of less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm).

Tread wear indicators are located in at least six places on the tread circumference and become visible at a tread depth of approximately 1/16 inch (1.6 mm). The tread wear indicators appear as a solid band across the tread.

You may also use a depth gauge or an accurate ruler to measure the depth of the center tire tread on both front and rear tires.

Maintenance

Tires

Tire Pressure

Always check and adjust tire pressure when tires are cold. Do not adjust tire pressure immediately after riding. Wait at least 3 hours after riding to check pressure. If pressure checked and adjusted while tires are warm, the pressure will drop as tires cool and result in underinflation.

Adjust tire pressure as recommended for the total weight of your intended load (see chart below). For more information, refer to the manufacturing information label located on the front frame downtube. See page 17.

WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum recommended inflation pressure to seat the bead. Tire or rim failure may result.

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

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.
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.

Windshield Care

Rinse the windshield with clean water to remove loose dirt and dust.

NOTICE: 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.

Leather Care

Leather must be cleaned and treated to properly maintain its quality appearance and extended life. Clean and treat leather more often under adverse conditions.

Use only cleaners and conditioners specifically designed for leather use.

• Use INDIAN MOTORYCLE Leather Care products.
• Do not clean leather with household soap or cleaners.
• Use high quality saddle soap or leather cleaner.
• Use of some leather treatment oils will darken distressed leather. Try a small amount on a hidden area first.

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.

Cleaning and Storage

Storage Area Preparation

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.

Cleaning and Storage

Clean and Protect the Motorcycle

To prepare the motorcycle for storage, begin by cleaning it as outlined beginning on page 120. Wax painted surfaces and 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.

Fuel Stabilizer

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.

Tire Inflation

Inflate the tires to normal pressure. See page 104.

Engine Protection

Change the engine oil. See page 84.

Battery Care

1. Remove the battery. See page 110.
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.
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 page 112.

Maintenance During Storage

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

Cleaning and Storage

Rodents

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 (just be sure to remember to remove them when you take the motorcycle from storage).

Park and Cover the Motorcycle

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

2. 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.

Removal From Storage

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.

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

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

3. Install new spark plugs if necessary.

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

5. Perform a road test. See page 116.

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

Specifications Fuel Recommendation

For best performance, use only unleaded gasoline with a 91 pump octane minimum (R+M/2 Method). DO NOT USE E-85 GASOLINE OR GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL. Using E85 or gasoline/methanol blends can result in poor starting and driveability, engine damage and damage to critical fuel system components.

• Gasoline containing up to 15% Ethanol can be used
• Gasoline containing up to 15% Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) can be used.

In the event that the recommended premium unleaded gasoline is not available and low octane fuel must be used, fill the fuel tank only partially with unleaded regular gasoline, then fill the tank fully with premium unleaded gasoline as soon as possible.

Engine Oil Recommendation

We recommend the use of INDIAN MOTORYCLE Premium Synthetic Blend 20W-40 Engine Oil for your motorcycle. This oil is formulated with synthetic-based oil and premium engine additive which have physical properties that meet API SM and ILSAC GF-4 specifications.

Do not blend oil additives with engine oil.

If oil must be added in an emergency and the recommended oil is not available, choose only a high-quality 20W-40 motorcycle oil. Change back to the recommended oil at the first opportunity.

NOTICE: Use of non-recommended lubricants can result in engine damage. Damage resulting from the use of non-recommended lubricants is not covered by warranty.

Fork Oil

We recommend the use of INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Fork Oil for your motorcycle.

Brake Fluid

We recommend the use of INDIAN MOTORCYCLE DOT 4 Brake Fluid for both brake master cylinders. DO NOT use DOT 5 silicone fluid.

INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Warranty Policy

LIMITED WARRANTY

Indian Motorcycle Company, 2100 Highway 55, Medina, MN 55340 (INDIAN MOTORCYCLE) gives a ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY on all components of your INDIAN motorcycle against defects in material or workmanship. This warranty covers parts and labor charges for repair or replacement of defective parts and begins on the date of purchase by the original retail purchaser. This warranty is transferable to another owner during the warranty period through an INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer, but any such transfer will not extend the original term of the warranty. The duration of this warranty may vary by international region based upon local laws and regulations.

EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACT (ESC) NOT PART OF LIMITED WARRANTY

INDIAN MOTORCYCLE provides the original retail purchaser of this INDIAN motorcycle with a 5 year extended service contract (ESC) that begins at the time of registration. The ESC is separate from, has different terms and coverage, is not a part of, and has no effect on the terms, coverage, or duration of this Limited Warranty. Please review those terms and conditions for information regarding the ESC. In some circumstances, the ESC may not be transferred to a used or second-hand purchaser of this INDIAN motorcycle. INDIAN MOTORCYCLE makes no representations and disclaims all liability regarding the availability or transferability of the ESC to a used or second-hand purchaser.

Audio System Selecting Audio Sources NAV Source

Please read this manual and the GARMIN ZUMO 660 NAV MP3 information provided with your player to become familiar with all unit features and operation.

The audio integration kit must be installed to enable outputs from the NAV MP3 (such as navigation instructions or user-loaded MP3 media files) to play through the headsets or speakers. The unit is fully functional without the kit installed, but there will be no interface with the vehicle's audio system.

Navigation MP3 Operation Tips

• Signals coming from the NAV MP3 unit will override any source of the motorcycle's audio system to ensure navigation instructions are communicated when needed. The signals will also override the MP3 player.
• You must set volume levels within the NAV MP3 unit. Volume settings in the motorcycle's audio system control NAV MP3 volume, but navigation instructions may be difficult to hear if volume levels in the unit are set too low. See the GARMIN information for setting procedures. The recommended initial settings are 100/80/80: MASTER 100%, NAVIGATION 80%, MEDIA 80%.
• Pause or stop the MP3 player to switch to radio.
• If playing MP3 files from the GARMIN ZUMO 660 unit, you may need to turn down the “media volume” on the GARMIN unit to avoid distortion.
• NAV audio must be turned on in the mode menu in order to play MP3 music files from the GARMIN ZUMO 660 NAV unit.
• While in NAV source, only MP3 music stored on the GARMIN ZUMO 660 will play on the radio.

The power switch must be ON to use the audio system. Press and release MODENAV is the active source.

When navigation instructions are given, the music volume will be muted and "NAV" will be displayed on the line below the active source.
