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

• The motorcycle is designed for on-road use with one rider (and
one passenger if the motorcycle is equipped with a passenger
seat). Never exceed the GVWR or the GAWR. Refer to the
Specifications section, or the Manufacturing Information/VIN
label on the motorcycle frame for model-specific information.
• Riding off-road, riding with more than one passenger, or
carrying weight exceeding the maximum weight rating can
make handling difficult, which could cause loss of control.
• During the first 500 miles (800 km) of operation, follow all
break-in procedures as outlined on page 81. 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.
• 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.
16
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.
17
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.
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.
18
SAFETY
• 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 120.
• Do not exceed the GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR)
or the GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) for your
motorcycle.
• Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the motorcycle.
Maintain even weight distribution by checking accessories and
cargo to make sure they’re securely attached to the motorcycle
before riding and whenever you take a break from riding.
Uneven weight distribution or sudden shifting of accessories or
cargo while you’re riding may cause difficult handling, loss of
control and driving hazards for other motorists (if cargo falls
from the motorcycle).
• For riding comfort and to ensure proper ground clearance,
adjust rear shock air pressure (if equipped) as specified on the
label located under the left side cover. See page 120.
• Do not attach large or heavy cargo such as sleeping bags, duffel
bags or tents to the handlebars, front fork area or front fender.
Cargo or accessories placed in these areas can cause instability
(due to improper weight distribution or aerodynamic changes)
and could cause loss of control. Such items can also block air
flow to the engine and cause overheating that can damage the
engine.
• Do not exceed the maximum cargo weight limit of any accessory
(see accessory instructions and labels). Do not attach cargo to
an accessory not designed for that purpose. Either circumstance
could result in an accessory failure that could cause loss of
control.
• Always obey posted speed limits.
• Do not attach anything to the motorcycle unless specifically
designed for that purpose by INDIAN MOTORCYCLE.
SSAADDDDLLEEBBAAGGSS AANNDD OOTTHHEERR SSTTOORRAAGGEE
Whenever operating a motorcycle equipped with cargo storage
features such as saddlebags, racks, glove boxes or other storage
compartments:
• Never ride at excessive speeds. Storage features and cargo,
combined with the lifting or buffeting effects of wind, can make
a motorcycle unstable and cause loss of control.
• Distribute weight evenly on each side of the motorcycle.
• Do not exceed the individual weight limit of any saddlebag or
other storage compartment. Refer to the storage capacity label
located on or near the storage feature.
• NEVER EXCEED the GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR)
or the GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR), regardless of
whether or not any storage feature is loaded to capacity.
Exceeding the weight rating can reduce stability and handling
and cause loss of control.
• Adjust ride height as needed. See page 120.
19
SAFETY
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.
• Use only genuine INDIAN MOTORCYCLE accessories designed
for your model.
• Do not exceed the GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR)
or the GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) for your
motorcycle.
• Adjust ride height as needed. See page 120.
MMOODDIIFFIICCAATTIIOONNSS
Modifying the motorcycle by removing any equipment or by
adding equipment not approved by the manufacturer may void
your warranty. Some modifications may not be legal in your area of
operation. If in doubt, contact your authorized INDIAN
MOTORCYCLE dealer.
CAUTION
Modifications could make the motorcycle unsafe to ride and
could result in serious injury to operator or passenger, as well as
damage to the motorcycle.
PPAARRKKIINNGG TTHHEE MMOOTTOORRCCYYCCLLEE
When leaving the motorcycle unattended, turn the engine off.
NOTICE
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 91.

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.
22
SAFETY
Refer to the section of this manual or the Specifications
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 rider’s apparel and items in or on apparel
• Weight of any post-production accessories and their contents
• Weight of any additional cargo on the motorcycle

With the semi-dry sump lubrication system, the engine oil level on
the dipstick will fluctuate, depending on the motorcycle’s position
and engine temperature when checked. To ensure a proper
reading of the engine oil level, follow all inspection procedures
closely.
WARNING
Operating with insufficient, deteriorated or contaminated engine
oil will cause accelerated wear and may result in engine or
transmission seizure, which could result in loss of control and
serious injury or death. Check the oil level frequently.
Always check the oil after running a cold engine at idle for 30
seconds. The oil fill/dipstick is located on the left side of the
motorcycle. Always use the recommended oil. See page 173.
1. Position the motorcycle on level ground in the fully upright and
centered position.
2. Start the engine (from cold) and allow it to idle for 30 seconds.
Stop the engine.
3. Remove the dipstick q and wipe it clean.
4. Thread the dipstick until fully seated.
5. Remove the dipstick and view the oil level.

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

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 MOTORCYCLE
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.
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.
75
PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
Using supplied air pressure gauge, adjust tire pressure to the
recommended pressure. See page 138.
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 MOTORCYCLE 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
Replace any tire with a tread depth of less than 1/16 in (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 in (1.6 mm). The tread wear indicators appear
as a solid band across the tread.

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.

Change the engine oil at the intervals specified in the Periodic
Maintenance Table. Change the oil more frequently if the
motorcycle is subjected to severe use, especially operation in cold
weather. See page 94.
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 qt (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.
110
MAINTENANCE
3. Clean the area around the 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.
NOTICE
Remove sidestand bumper bracket for improved clearance to
drain plug.
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.

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.
111
MAINTENANCE
11. Remove the dipstick. Add only 4 qt (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 qt (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 74.
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. See page 40 for
more information.
16. Dispose of used filter and oil properly.
17. Reset the oil change life in the instrument gauge.
AAIIRR FFIILLTTEERR
NOTICE
If the motorcycle is operated in wet or dusty conditions, more
frequent servicing is required.
Replace the air filter if it becomes contaminated with oil.
The air filter element cannot be cleaned. Replace the filter when
necessary.

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 line.
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. See
page 173 for engine coolant recommendations.
To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the
engine, we recommend that the system be completely drained
every five (5) years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Please
see your dealer for this service.
CAUTION
Allow the vehicle to cool before performing any maintenance on
the cooling system. Failure to do so could result in burns to skin.
CCOOOOLLAANNTT LLEEVVEELL IINNSSPPEECCTTIIOONN
The Coolant Overflow bottle is located under the driver seat. The
level can be viewed without the need to disassemble any
components.
1. Remove right-hand saddlebags. See page 63.
2. Using an assistant to hold the motorcycle vertically (not on the
side stand). Sight underneath the fender, above the drive belt
to the coolant bottle.
3. Ensure coolant level is above the minimum line
q
and below
the frame strut w.
4. If the coolant level is below the bottom line, coolant will need to
be added to the system.
114
MAINTENANCE
AADDDDIINNGG CCOOOOLLAANNTT
To add coolant, do the following:
1. Remove the seat and rubber lid.
2. Remove he overflow bottle cap
e
to add coolant. Add coolant
until level is within the marked values.
NOTICE
The rubber hose and formed nylon line can be left connected
while performing this procedure.
IMPORTANT
Do not fill the coolant bottle to full. 0.3 L of air must remain in the
bottle to account for thermal expansion. Failure to do so can
result in coolant overflow.
RREEAARR DDRRIIVVEE BBEELLTT CCLLEEAANNIINNGG
NOTICE
Do not inspect or adjust drive belt tension when the belt or drive
system is wet or hot. Improper adjustment will result.
Cleaning the drive belt will maximize belt and sprocket life and
minimize drive line noise. Clean the belt at every tire change.
Clean the belt more often if riding in dirty, dusty or high debris
environments.
1. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with a cup of warm water.
2. Use a soft nylon brush to clean the belt and sprocket teeth with
the soapy water. Clean well in corner areas where road debris
and belt dust can collect.
3. Rinse the belt with clear water, then dry thoroughly.

MAINTENANCE
RREEAARR DDRRIIVVEE BBEELLTT CCOONNDDIITTIIOONN
Inspect the rear drive belt at the intervals specified in the Periodic
Maintenance table. Replace the drive belt if it is cracked or has
broken teeth. No matter its condition, the drive belt should be
replaced at periodic intervals. See the INDIAN MOTORCYCLE
Service Manual or an authorized INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer can
assist.
DO NOT attempt to check belt tension if the belt has been exposed
to rain or washing within a 24 hour period or if the vehicle has
been run at operating temperature within the last four hours. Allow
the vehicle to cool down to ambient temperature before measuring
belt tension. Replace the drive belt and both sprockets as a set if

Indian Motorcycle recommends using the BatteryMINDer® 2012
AGM - 2 AMP battery charger (PN 2830438) to charge and
maintain AGM batteries. The charger can be found on the Polaris
PG&A website.
Batteries that fall below 12.5V run the risk of sulfation, a condition
whereby sulfate crystals form inside the battery and significantly
reduce performance. AGM chargers are designed specifically for
charging AGM type batteries and use high frequency pulses to
partially reverse sulfation.
IMPORTANT
The use of non-AGM battery chargers may result in a misleading
“battery not found” or “open cell” fault message. Please ensure
you are using the recommended AGM charger when charging
AGM type batteries.
AAGGMM BBAATTTTEERRYY CCHHAARRGGIINNGG RREECCOOMMMMEENNDDAATTIIOONNSS ––

The nominal voltage for an Indian Motorcycle battery is 12.8 Volts
when fully charged. The battery will self-discharge when
disconnected from a vehicle, and will discharge at a faster rate
when connected. If the battery voltage falls below 12.5V, it should
be charged immediately using the recommended battery charger.
Batteries which are not connected to a vehicle should be inspected
every 2-3 months. The battery must be charged if found to be
below 12.5 volts.
Always use the recommended automatic battery charger, and wait
for the charger to complete the charge cycle before disconnecting
it.

AGM batteries discharged to a voltage of 3 volts or less may not be
recognized by the recommended automatic battery charger. (The
minimum voltage threshold recognized by other battery chargers
may be as high as 10.5 volts). Often times deeply discharged
batteries can be restored by attaching another, fully-charged,
battery to “jump start” the low battery. Follow the steps below to
restore a deeply discharged battery.
1. Carefully connect the two batteries’ positive terminals, then the
negative terminals using jumper cables.
2. Connect the recommended battery charger to the low battery
and initiate the charging sequence.
WARNING
Always check to ensure the positive cables are connected to the
positive terminals before powering the charger on. Reversing
polarity when charging can damage electrical components and
risk serious injury. Be careful not to let battery cable clamps
touch each other.
3. After the charging sequence has initiated, disconnect the fully-
charged battery. Always disconnect the fully-charged battery
positive first, followed by low battery positive, low battery
negative, and finally fully-charged battery negative
4. Proceed with charging both batteries to full capacity. Listed in
the table below are the approximate charging times for deeply
discharged batteries. Always use the recommended automatic
battery charger, and wait for the charger to complete the
charge cycle before disconnecting it. The recommended
automatic charger will indicate when the battery is fully

1. If the motorcycle will not be driven for more than 2 weeks,
maintaining the battery with the BatteryMINDer® 2012-AGM
charger (PN 2830438) is recommended.
2. To help prolong battery life, it is recommended to remove the
battery from vehicles stored ONE month or longer. To
maximize the life of stored batteries, they should be kept in a
cool/dry location. Batteries will self discharge more rapidly
when stored in extreme temperatures. Batteries should be
maintained using the recommended battery charger while in
storage.
3. Batteries will self-discharge more quickly when dirty. Periodic
cleaning of the battery terminals using a terminal brush will
help maximize battery life. Wash terminals with a solution of
one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water. Rinse well with
tap water and dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the terminals
with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.
4. Battery connections should be tightened to the correct torque
during installation. This will reduce voltage drop and ensure a
reliable connection between the regulator/rectifier and battery.

Matte finish products are prone to trapping dirt, oils and other
contaminants. Always clean this type of finish with warm water and
a mild dish-washing detergent. Use a soft sponge to gently rub the
surface, then rinse with clean warm water. For stubborn stains such
as grease or oil, use a citrus-based cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto
the area and rub gently with a soft sponge. Allow the cleaner to sit
for a couple of minutes, then rinse well with clean warm water.
Repeat as needed.
NOTICE
Never use a polishing/buffing wax or any sponge that has an
abrasive surface when cleaning a matte finish. These products
will buff the matte surface of the finish and result in a glossy
finish. Never clean matte finishes with a pressure washer, as this
will further imbed contaminants into the clear coat and may
damage labels and decals.
GGLLOOSSSS CCLLEEAARR CCOOAATT FFIINNIISSHH CCAARREE
The clear coat finish system used on your INDIAN MOTORCYCLE
provides superior protection against the elements. To maximize
the benefits of this system, use the following guide to care for the
gloss finish on your motorcycle.
• During the first 30 days, when the finish is still fresh, clean the
motorcycle with a water rinse only.
• Do not wax the motorcycle for the first 60 days. Doing so can
cause loss of the gloss. After 60 days, use only waxes designed
for new clear coat finishes.
• Do not use pressurized water to wash the motorcycle. When
paint is still fresh, pressurized water could damage the finish. If
using a pressure washer is unavoidable, keep the spray nozzle
at least 24 inches (60 cm) away from the surface of the
motorcycle.
• Wash your motorcycle often, especially when exposed to salty,
dusty, acidic or alkaline environments.
• Use warm or cool water and a soft cloth for cleaning.
• Use soaps that are non-abrasive and have a neutral pH (non
acidic/non alkaline detergents).
160
CLEANING AND STORAGE
• Do not use solvent-based solutions.
• Do not use a dry cloth to remove dust.
• Do not use a stiff bristle brush, which can scratch the surface.
• Do not wash with extremely hot water.
• Do not wash the motorcycle while the surface is hot and avoid
washing the motorcycle in the hot sun. Minerals in the water
may be difficult to remove once dried on the surface of the
motorcycle.
• Do not allow spilled gasoline, motor oil or brake fluid to stand
on the paint. Remove these substances immediately by rinsing
with water. Use a soft cloth to absorb any remaining residue and
dab dry.
• To remove bug remnants or road tar, use only products that are
specifically designed for this purpose. Follow the product
manufacturer’s recommendations to prevent potential damage
to the finish. Follow with a wash using the methods described in
this section.
• Always brush away any ice or snow, do not scrape off.
• Chips or scratches should be repaired promptly to prevent
corrosion.

are a concern (particularly in rural areas, barns, sheds, etc.) be
sure to take extra measures to deter their infestation. This may
include placing a screen mesh over any intake or exhaust
openings (remember to remove them when you remove the
motorcycle from storage).

CLEANING AND STORAGE
PPAARRKK AANNDD CCOOVVEERR TTHHEE MMOOTTOORRCCYYCCLLEE
1. Park the motorcycle in its storage location. Block the frame to
take some of the weight off the front and rear wheels.
NOTICE
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.
2. Secure a plastic bag over the (cooled) exhaust outlets to
prevent moisture from entering the exhaust system.
3. Cover the motorcycle with a cover made from a durable,
breathable material designed for storage. Covering the
motorcycle helps protect it from dust and other airborne
materials. The cover must be of a breathable material to
prevent moisture from building up on the motorcycle which can
cause oxidation of metal surfaces.
RREEMMOOVVAALL FFRROOMM SSTTOORRAAGGEE
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.
3. Inspect the storage area for signs of fluid leaks. Identify and
perform service to any leaking components.
4. Remove any intake or exhaust mesh covers installed for rodent
protection.
5. Install new spark plugs if necessary.
6. Perform the pre-ride inspections. See page 71.
7. Perform a road test. See page 154.
8. Wash and polish the motorcycle. Wax, polish or apply
protectant to appropriate components.
