• The motorcycle is designed for on-road use with one rider (and
one passenger if the motorcycle is equipped with a passenger
seat and pegs). Never exceed the GVWR or the GAWR. Refer to
the chapter or the Manufacturing Information/VIN Specifications
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 63. 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.
FFOOLLLLOOWW 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 or INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Service Manual
an authorized INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer or other qualified
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.
• 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.
• Do not move or operate the motorcycle with the steering locked
(if equipped), as the severely restricted steering could result in
loss of control.
12
SAFETY
• 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.

SAFETY
PPRROOTTEECCTTIIVVEE AAPPPPAARREELL
IMPORTANT
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.

WARNING
Do not carry a passenger unless the motorcycle is equipped with
passenger seat and passenger footrests.
• Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your
motorcycle. Refer to the section of this manual or Specifications
the Manufacturing Information/VIN label on the motorcycle
frame for model-specific information.
• Adjust ride height as needed. See the Rear Shock Preload (Ride
Height) Inspection Rear Shock Preload (Ride Height) and
Adjustment sections for details.
• Direct the passenger to hold onto you or to the passenger hand-
holds 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.
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:
• 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 the
Electrical Precautions section for details.
• Use only genuine INDIAN MOTORCYCLE accessories designed
for your model.
• Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your
motorcycle.

SAFETY
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. Your
motorcycle is equipped with a keyed ignition. Remove the ignition
key to prevent unauthorized use.
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 71.
SSAADDDDLLEEBBAAGG
Whenever operating with a saddlebag or while carrying 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.
• Do not exceed the individual weight limit of the saddlebag.
• NEVER EXCEED GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) or
the GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR), regardless of
whether or not the saddlebag is loaded to capacity. Exceeding
the weight rating can reduce stability and handling and cause
loss of control.
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.
• 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).
16
SAFETY
• For riding comfort and to ensure proper ground clearance,
adjust rear shock preload. See the Rear Shock Preload (Ride
Height) Inspection section for details.
• Do not attach large or heavy cargo such as sleeping bags, duffle
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.
• 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.
TTRRAANNSSPPOORRTTIINNGG TTHHEE MMOOTTOORRCCYYCCLLEE
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.
• 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.

The FTR 1200 is equipped with a side-stand safety switch to
prevent operation of the motorcycle if the side-stand is deployed.
WARNING
An improperly retracted side-stand could contact the ground and
cause a loss of control resulting in serious personal injury or
death. Always retract the side stand fully before operating the
motorcycle.
To park the motorcycle, swing the end of the side-stand 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 side-stand firmly supports the
motorcycle.
CAUTION
If the motorcycle weight is not resting on the side-stand, it will
not lock. In this situation, any movement of the motorcycle could
cause the side stand to retract slightly. If the side-stand is not in
the full forward position when the motorcycle weight is rested on
it, the motorcycle could fall over, possibly causing personal
injury and damage to the motorcycle.
To retract the side-stand, straddle the motorcycle and bring it to
the fully upright position. Swing the end of the side-stand upward
and toward the motorcycle until it is fully retracted.
See page 71 for parking instructions, including parking on slopes
and soft surfaces.
WARNING
Do not sit on the motorcycle when it is supported on the side-
stand.

not when the vehicle is in ‘Sport’ mode or the ABS/TC system is
disabled.
NOTE
The wheelie mitigation feature cannot prevent the front wheel
from losing contact with the ground in all situations.
• If the wheelie mitigation feature is disabled and the front wheel
loses contact with the road surface long enough to become
stationary, a wheel speed sensor fault may be set.
• If a fault code is set, the ABS/TC system will become
deactivated and the display will illuminate the ABS/MTC
lights. If this occurs, a power cycle will be required to re-
initialize the ABS/MTC system.

The anti-lock brake system automatically reduces 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 the Safe
Riding Practices starting page 11.
1. The anti-lock brake system cannot be turned off on models
equipped with an analog gauge. On models equipped with the
Ride Command touchscreen display, ABS can be disabled
through the touchscreen menu when the vehicle is in TRACK
mode.
2. ABS must not be deactivated when traveling on public roads.
Deactivation is only suitable for off-road use (race tracks or dirt
roads).
3. 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).
4. When the lamp is illuminated, the anti-lock brakes will not
activate, but the conventional brake system will continue to
operate normally.
47
FEATURES AND CONTROLS
5. 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.
6. If the ABS light does not come on when the key is turned to the
ON or PARK position, see your authorized INDIAN
MOTORCYCLE dealer for service.
• If the lamp continues to illuminate after vehicle speed exceeds 6
MPH (10 km/h), the ABS system is not functioning. See your
INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer promptly for service.
• Operating with non-recommended tires or improper tire
pressure may reduce the effectiveness of the anti-lock brake
system. Always use the recommended size and type of tires
specified for your vehicle. Always maintain the recommended
tire pressure.
• The anti-lock brake system will not prevent wheel lockup, loss of
traction or loss of control under all conditions. Always adhere to
all safe motorcycle-riding practices as recommended.
• It is not unusual to leave tire marks on the road surface during a
hard braking event.
• The anti-lock brake system does not compensate for or reduce
the risks associated with:
– excessive speed
– reduced traction on rough, uneven or loose surfaces
– poor judgment
– improper operation

PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
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. Only use tires approved by Indian for the model of
the motorcycle. See your dealer. Use of unapproved or an
improperly mixed front and rear tire can result in decreased
handling performance and stability, potentially leading to
reduced control of the motorcycle. 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.
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.
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. Only use tires approved by
Indian for the model of the motorcycle. See your dealer. Use of
unapproved or an improperly mixed front and rear tire can result
in decreased handling performance and stability, potentially
leading to reduced control of the motorcycle.
TTIIRREE TTRREEAADD DDEEPPTTHH
Measure the tread depth near the center of the tread on both tires.

IMPORTANT
The brake fluid level in the reservoir will go down as brake pads
wear. If you notice a sudden lowering of the brake fluid level,
inspect brake pads for wear and brake system for leaks.
NOTE
When installing new brake pads, fill the reservoir to the MAX
mark. This reservoir can be used as a wear indicator, as the pads
wear out, the level will decrease. When it is close to or at the MIN
mark, inspect brake pads and replace if necessary. While this
can be used as a indicator, the BEST way to inspect brake wear is
to inspect the pads themselves.

excessive load on the engine during the break-in period.
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.
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 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.

1. Run engine until warm, then turn engine off.
2. Securely support the motorcycle in a vertical “centered”
position.
3. Place an oil drain pan under the engine oil drain plugs q and
w.
4. Remove the drain plugs and sealing washers.
5. Allow oil to drain completely. Dispose of oil properly.
6. Remove oil filter e and allow oil to drain. Dispose of oil filter
properly.
7. Clean the engine oil filter mount sealing surface and
surrounding area.
8. Place a small amount of oil on the new oil filter seal and spin
filter on until the filter seal contacts the sealing surface. Tighten
oil filter to specification.
TORQUE
Oil Filter:
115 in-lbs (13 N m) or approximately 3/4 to 1 full turn after ·
seal contacts the filter mount sealing surface.

10. Use a funnel to add 3 US quarts (2.8 Liters) of Indian Motorcycle
15W–60 Full Synthetic engine oil through the engine oil fill
port.
NOTICE
3 US quarts will bring the engine oil level at or near the “FULL”
mark on the sight glass. For a new or rebuilt (dry) engine add an
additional .5 US quart (.47 Liters).
11. Securely support the motorcycle in a vertical “centered”
position, idle engine for approximately 30 seconds.
12. Turn the engine off.
13. Inspect the oil level by looking at the oil sight glass. The oil
level should be in the middle of the sight glass between the two
indicator marks. DO NOT OVERFILL!
IMPORTANT
Total engine oil fill volume with oil filter change will be
approximately 3.0 - 4.0 US quarts (2.8 - 3.8 Liters). Total engine
oil fill volume with a new or rebuilt (dry) engine will be
approximately 4.5 quarts (4.25 Liters).
14. Refer to the page 54 section in this chapter for setting proper
oil level.
CAUTION
If the low oil pressure indicator remains illuminated longer than
usual after an oil change, do not increase RPM above idle until
indicator lamp goes out or engine may be damaged.
15. Check for leaks around drain plug and oil filter.
NOTICE
Recycle used oil and oil filter in accordance with local
regulations.

CCOOOOLLIINNGG SSYYSSTTEEMM
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.
CCOOOOLLAANNTT LLEEVVEELL IINNSSPPEECCTTIIOONN
The Coolant Overflow bottle is located under the airbox cover. The
level can be viewed without the need to disassemble any
components.
1. Locate the coolant bottle level window located on the left side
of the unit.
2. Ensure the coolant is in between the marked values.
3. If the coolant level is below the bottom line, coolant will need to
be added to the system.
96
MAINTENANCE

To add coolant, do the following:
1. Remove the seat and airbox covers.
2. Remove he overflow bottle cap q to add coolant. Add coolant
