forks. Remove the key. 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
the Safe Riding Practices starting page 9.
The anti-lock brake system cannot be turned off. 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). When the lamp is
illuminated, the anti-lock brakes will not activate, but the
conventional brake system will continue to operate normally.
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.

NOTICE
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.
WARNING
Do not move or operate the motorcycle with the steering locked, NOTICE
as the severely restricted steering could result in loss of control. If the lamp continues to illuminate after vehicle speed exceeds 6

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.
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.
7. Reinstall the dipstick securely. Always check and adjust tire pressure when tires are cold.

Batteries that fall below 12.5 V 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

To help prolong battery life, it is recommended to remove the
battery from vehicles stored two months 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 heat. Batteries should be maintained using the
recommended battery charger while in storage.
Batteries which are not connected to a vehicle should be charged
every two months.
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.
Battery connections should be tightened to the correct torque

placing a stable, flat platform jack or lift mechanism on a firm, flat
surface and lifting under the engine crankcase. The platform

parts such as the fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter and engine computer. Also included may be hoses, belts,
connectors and other emission related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, INDIAN MOTORCYCLE will repair your
motorcycle at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts and labor.

 WARRANTY
O W N E R ’ S WA R R A N T Y R E S P O N S I B I L I T I E S
As the motorcycle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Rider’s manual. INDIAN
MOTORCYCLE recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your motorcycle, but INDIAN MOTORCYCLE cannot

responsible for presenting your motorcycle to an INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should
be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. As the motorcycle owner, you should be aware that INDIAN
MOTORCYCLE may deny your warranty coverage if your motorcycle or part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or
unapproved modifications.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact INDIAN MOTORCYCLE, 2100 Highway
55, Medina, MN 55340, or the California Air Resources Board, P.O. Box 8001, 9528 Telstar Avenue, El Monte, CA 91734-8001.
