Maintenance

Rear Brake Pedal

1. Lubricate the pivot bushing at the intervals

recommended in the periodic maintenance table

beginning on page 56. Also lubricate any time binding

is evident. Use all-purpose grease.

2. Inspect brake pads as outlined on page 78.

Brake Hoses/Connections

Inspect all brake hoses and connections for dampness or

stains from leaking or dried fluid. Tighten any leaking

connections and replace components as necessary. See the

INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Service Manual or an authorized

INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer.

Brake Fluid Precautions

Using the wrong fluid or allowing air or contaminants into the fluid

system can damage the system seals or result in a malfunction that

could lead to serious injury or death. Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from

a sealed container.

Do not operate the front brake with the reservoir cover removed.

Fluid could overflow from the reservoir and allow air to enter the

system. Air in the brake system could cause the brakes to

malfunction.

An over-full reservoir may cause brake drag or brake lock-up, which

could result in serious injury or death. Maintain brake fluid at the

recommended level. Do not overfill.

NOTICE: Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces and plastic parts.

Always clean spilled brake fluid immediately with water

and a mild detergent.
