Pre-Ride Inspections
Sidestand
1. On level ground, straddle the motorcycle and bring it to
the fully upright position.
2. Move the sidestand up to the stored position and down
to the fully extended position several times. It should
move smoothly and quietly. Make sure the return spring
holds the sidestand tightly in place when the sidestand
is in the stored position. Adjust or replace a loose
spring.
3. Inspect the sidestand pivot bolt for looseness or wear.
Tighten or replace a loose or worn bolt.
Fasteners
1. Inspect the entire motorcycle chassis and engine for
loose, damaged or missing fasteners.
2. Tighten loose fasteners to the proper torque. See the
INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Service Manual or an authorized
INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer.
3. Always replace stripped, damaged or broken fasteners
before riding. Use genuine INDIAN MOTORCYCLE
fasteners of equal size and strength.
