Maintenance
Engine Oil/Filter Change
8. Using a clean dry cloth, clean the filter sealing surface
on the engine.
9. Lubricate the o-ring on the new filter with a film of fresh
engine oil. Check to make sure the o-ring is in good
condition.
10. Install the new filter and rotate it clockwise by hand until
the filter gasket contacts the sealing surface, then turn it
an additional 3/4 to one full turn.
11. Remove the dipstick. Add only 4.5 qts. (4.25 l) of the
recommended oil at this step. Do not overfill.
12. Reinstall the dipstick securely.
13. With the motorcycle in an upright, centered position,
start the engine and run it at varied speeds up to 2500
RPM for approximately 3 minutes.
14. Stop the engine and add an additional one quart (.95 l)
of engine oil. Do not overfill. Overfilling can result in
loss of engine performance and an oil-saturated air
filter. Use a suction device to remove excess oil if
overfilled.
15. To ensure the oil level is within the safe operating range,
re-check the oil level as outlined on page 68.
NOTICE: After an oil change, the low oil pressure indicator may
illuminate when the engine is started. If this occurs, do not
increase RPM above idle speed until the indicator turns
off. Operating above idle speed could result in damage to
the engine.
16. Dispose of used filter and oil properly.
17. CHIEFTAIN/ROADMASTER: Reset the oil change life in
the instrument gauge. See page 46.
Fuel Filter
The fuel filter is attached to the electric fuel pump located
inside the fuel tank. See your authorized INDIAN
MOTORCYCLE dealer for replacement.
