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.
