SSAAFFEE RRIIDDIINNGG PPRRAACCTTIICCEESS

WARNING

Improper use of a 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.

MMOOTTOORRCCYYCCLLIINNGG HHAASS IINNHHEERREENNTT RRIISSKKSS

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.

SAFETY

• 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.

• 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.

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 that you wear require

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 that require

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 grav-

ity can cause loss of stability and handling and could cause loss

of control.

• Adjust ride height as needed. See page 110.

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.

• Adjust ride height as needed. See page 110.

MMOODDIIFFIICCAATTIIOONNSS

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.

PPAARRKKIINNGG TTHHEE MMOOTTOORRCCYYCCLLEE

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.

AANNTTII--LLOOCCKK BBRRAAKKEE SSYYSSTTEEMM RREESSPPOONNSSEE

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.

• Engine Break-In

• Fueling

• Starting the Engine

• Shifting Gears

• Using Cruise Control (if

equipped)

• Accelerating

• Braking

• Stopping the Engine

• Parking

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.

SSTTAARRTTIINNGG TTHHEE EENNGGIINNEE

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.

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 30.

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

4. Shift the transmission to neutral.

5. Apply the front brakes. Disengage the clutch (pull the clutch

lever fully toward the handlebar).

6. The motorcycle may be electrically activated by pressing

either the starter switch or power switch. Then 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

and try again.

OPERATION

7. DO NOT open the throttle while If starting a COOL engine,

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 one minute

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.

8. 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 33.

CAUTION

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.

9. 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.

OPERATION

SSHHIIFFTTIINNGG GGEEAARRSS

WARNING

Forced shifting (without clutch lever pulled in) 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.

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.

SSHHIIFFTTIINNGG GGEEAARRSS WWHHIILLEE SSTTAATTIIOONNAARRYY

To locate neutral when the motorcycle is stationary, use one of the

following techniques to load and unload the transmission:

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.

NOTE

There is a Neutral indicator light on the instrument cluster.

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

If 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.

OPERATION

AACCCCEELLEERRAATTIINNGG

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.

SSTTOOPPPPIINNGG TTHHEE EENNGGIINNEE

Before stopping the engine, bring the motorcycle to a complete

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.

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.

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.

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

NOTE

Remove sidestand bumper bracket for improved clearance to

drain plug.

101

MAINTENANCE

5. Install new sealing washer and o-ring on the drain plug. The

sealing surfaces on drain plug and engine should be clean and

free of burrs, nicks or scratches.

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.

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.

12. Reinstall the dipstick securely.

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

WARNING

Using the wrong fluid or allowing air or contaminants into the

fluid system can damage the system seals or result in a

malfunction that could lead to serious injury or death. Use only

DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container.

Do not operate the front brake with the reservoir cover removed.

Fluid could overflow from the reservoir and allow air to enter the

system. Air in the brake system could cause the brakes to

malfunction.

An over-full reservoir may cause brake drag or brake lock-up,

which could result in serious injury or death. Maintain brake fluid

at the recommended level. Do not overfill.

NOTICE

Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces and plastic parts.

Always clean spilled brake fluid immediately with water and a

mild detergent.
