Objects seen in a mirror may be closer than they appear. Always adjust mirrors before riding. To adjust the mirrors, sit on the motorcycle in the anticipated riding position. Adjust the mirrors so that you can see a small portion of your shoulders in each mirror.
FEELER PEGS
Your bike is equipped with small feeler pegs extending from the end of both footpegs to help protect against damage. A wear notch has been etched near the base of both feeler pegs. Once either feeler peg has been eroded up to the wear notch, a replacement feeler peg is recommended.

SIDE STAND
International models have been equipped with side stands that have safety switches to prevent the operation of the motorcycle if the side stand is deployed.
WARNING
An improperly retracted sidestand could contact the ground and cause a loss of control resulting in serious injury or death. Always retract the side stand fully before operating the motorcycle. To park the motorcycle, swing the end of the side and stand downward and away from the motorcycle until it is fully extended. Always turn the handlebars to the left for maximum stability. Learn the motorcycle to the left until the side stands firmly supporting 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 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 sidestand upward and toward the motorcycle until it is fully retracted.

WARNING
Do not move or operate the motorcycle with the steering locked, as the severely restricted steering could result in loss of control.
BRAKES
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) (IF EQUIPPED)
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. 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. 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
FRONT BRAKE LEVER
The front brake lever q is located on the right handlebar. This lever controls only the front brakes. The front brakes should be applied simultaneously with the rear brakes. To apply the front brake, pull the lever toward the handlebar For braking procedures.
REAR BRAKE PEDAL
The rear brake pedal q is located on the right side of the motorcycle. Press downward on the rear brake pedal to apply the rear brake.
