Safety
Safe Riding Practices
Improper use of this 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.
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
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.
Design characteristics affect how you should ride
the motorcycle:
• The motorcycle is designed for on-road use with one
rider and one passenger. Never exceed the GVWR or the
GAWR. Refer to the Specifications section of this manual
(page 124) 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 in the break-in section
beginning on page 67. Failure to do so can result in
serious engine damage.
• Some models include saddlebags, a windshield or a
passenger backrest as standard equipment. To maintain
stability, be prepared to reduce the operating speed of
motorcycles equipped with these items.
WARNING

7
Safety
Safe Riding Practices
Follow these general safe riding practices:
• Before each ride, perform the pre-ride inspections as
outlined beginning on page 57. 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.

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.
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.
Anti-Lock Brake System Response
• 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.

10
Safety
Safe Riding Practices
Protective Apparel
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. Laws in some areas require that you wear 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.
• Wear eye protection to protect eyes from wind or airborne
particles and objects. Laws in some areas require that 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.

11
Safety
Use of Accessories
Because INDIAN MOTORYCLE 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 page 114.
• Use only genuine INDIAN MOTORYCLE accessories
designed for your model.
• Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for
your motorcycle.
• Adjust ride height as needed. See pages 89-91.

12
Safety
Modifications
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.
Parking the Motorcycle
When leaving the motorcycle unattended, turn the engine
off. 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 78.
Saddlebags
Whenever operating a motorcycle with saddlebags or
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.
• Distribute weight evenly on each side of the motorcycle.
• Do not exceed the individual weight limit of each
saddlebag.
• NEVER EXCEED GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING
(GVWR) or the GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR),
regardless of whether or not the saddlebags are loaded to
capacity. Exceeding the weight rating can reduce stability
and handling and cause loss of control.
• Adjust ride height as needed. See pages 89-91.

13
Safety
Carrying Cargo
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.
• Adjust ride height as needed. See pages 89-91.
• 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).
• For riding comfort and to ensure proper ground
clearance, adjust rear shock air pressure as specified on
the label located under the left side cover. See page 90.
• 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
MOTORYCLE.

14
Safety
Transporting the Motorcycle
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. If the motorcycle leans to one side, gasoline may
leak from the fuel tank and result in a fire hazard or
damage to the finish.
• 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.
Fuel and Exhaust Safety
Always heed these fuel safety warnings when refueling or
servicing the fuel system. For fueling procedures, see page
69.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
• Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
• Always turn off the engine before refueling.
• Always refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
• Open the fuel cap slowly. Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the
tank neck.
• Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area
where refueling is performed or where gasoline is stored.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are poisonous and can cause severe
injury.
• Do not swallow gasoline, inhale gasoline vapors, or spill gasoline.
If you swallow gasoline, inhale more than a few breaths of gasoline
vapor, or get gasoline in your eyes, see a physician immediately.
• If gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off
with soap and water and change clothing.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas
that can cause loss of consciousness or death in a short time.
• Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area.
• Never inhale exhaust gases.

Chapter 8 requirements, which is equivalent to Canadian
ICES-002.
WARNING

16
Safety
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
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.
Refer to the Specifications section of this manual (page 124)
or the 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 riders’ apparel and items in or on apparel
• weight of any accessories and their contents
• weight of any additional cargo on the motorcycle
