Cleaning and Storage

Windshield Care

Rinse the windshield with clean water to remove loose dirt

and dust.

NOTICE: Do not use glass cleaners, water or soil repellents, and

petroleum or alcohol based cleaners on the windshield, as

these products can damage the windshield.

Leather Care

Leather must be cleaned and treated to properly maintain its

quality appearance and extended life. Clean and treat

leather more often under adverse conditions.
Use only cleaners and conditioners specifically designed

for leather use.
• Use INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Leather Care products.
• Do not clean leather with household soap or cleaners.
• Use high quality saddle soap or leather cleaner.
• Use of some leather treatment oils will darken distressed

leather. Try a small amount on a hidden area first.

If you will not operate the motorcycle for more than 60 days,

store the motorcycle to prevent damage to the fuel system

and the battery and to protect components from corrosion or

deterioration. During storage preparation you might use

products that are potentially hazardous; such as fuel

stabilizer. When using any of these products, follow the

instructions and warnings on the product packaging.

Storage Area Preparation

Choose a dry, well-ventilated storage location, inside a

garage or other structure if possible. The location should

have a firm, flat surface and allow enough space for the

motorcycle.

WARNING! Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under

certain conditions. Do not store the motorcycle in any area (in home

or garage) where it could be near open flames, pilot lights, sparks or

electric motors. Do not smoke in the storage area.

To best preserve tire condition:
• The storage area should have a relatively constant and

moderate temperature.

• The storage surface should be free of oil and gasoline.
• The motorcycle should not be near a radiator or other

heat source, or any type of electric motor.
