Maintenance
Cooling System
The engine coolant level is controlled by the recovery
system. Recovery system components are the recovery
bottle, the radiator filler neck, the radiator pressure cap and
the connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding
(heated) excess coolant is forced out of the engine, past the
pressure cap, and into the recovery bottle. As engine
coolant temperature decreases the contracting (cooled)
coolant is drawn back up from the bottle, past the pressure
cap, and into the radiator.
Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the
system is purging itself of trapped air. Check the coolant
level and maintain as recommended by adding coolant to
the recovery bottle.
INDIAN recommends the use of Antifreeze 50/50 Premix.
This antifreeze is already premixed and ready to use. Do not
dilute with water.
To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the
engine, we recommend that the system be completely
drained every five (5) years or 50,000 miles, whichever
comes first. Please see your dealer for this service.
Coolant Level Inspection
Tip: A flashlight is required for
viewing the coolant level.
1. Allow the engine to cool
before checking coolant
level.
2. Position the motorcycle on
level ground in the fully
upright position.
3. Place a flashlight flush
against an accessible area
of the recovery bottle to
illuminate the interior.
View the coolant level
through the window in the
heat shield.
4. Maintain the coolant level
at the COLD FULL mark on
the recovery bottle (when
the fluid is cool).
5. If the level is low, remove
the seat to access the
coolant fill cap.
Tip: The recovery bottle is vented to prevent overfilling. Coolant will
vent onto the ground if overfilled.
6. Remove the fill cap and add coolant. Do not overfill.
7. Reinstall the cap.
