Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a new INDIAN

motorcycle. You have joined an elite family of motorcycle

riders who have acquired a celebrated piece of American

history by choosing to own an INDIAN motorcycle.

Your new motorcycle is the end result of true dedication and

craftsmanship by our engineering, design and assembly

teams. It was designed and manufactured to meet our goal

of providing you with a high quality motorcycle that you can

ride trouble-free for many years to come. We hope you will

sale.

Service and Warranty Information

Some procedures are beyond the scope of this manual. See

your dealer to purchase an INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Service

Manual. Some procedures provided in the service manual

require specialized knowledge, equipment, and training. Be

sure you have the required technical skills and tools that are

needed before you attempt ANY service on your

motorcycle. Please contact your authorized dealer before

attempting any service work that is beyond your level of

specialized equipment.

Operating Your Motorcycle Outside the U.S.A.

If you plan to operate your motorcycle in countries other

than the USA and Canada:

• Service facilities or replacement parts may not be readily

available.

WARNING

Safety

Safe Riding Practices

Improper use of this motorcycle can result in serious injury or death. To minimize the risk, 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

Foundationor anotherqualifiedinstructor. Thecoursewill

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 if the motorcycle is equipped

with a passenger seat). Never exceed the GVWR or the

GAWR. Refer to the Specifications section of this manual

(page110)orthe ManufacturingInformation/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 47. 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.

WARNING

Safety

Safe Riding Practices

Follow these general safe riding practices:

• Before each ride, perform the pre-ride inspections as

outlined beginning on page 38. 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.

• Do not move or operate the motorcycle with the steering

locked (if equipped), as the severely restricted steering

could result in loss of 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 sub-

stances.

- 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.

Donot allow components tocontact the roadsurface 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

(if equipped)

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.
