WARNING
Exceeding the gross vehicle weight rating of your motorcycle can
reduce stability and handling and could cause loss of control.
NEVER exceed the GVWR of your motorcycle.
The maximum load capacity of your motorcycle is the maximum
weight you may add to your motorcycle without exceeding the
GVWR . This capacity is determined by calculating the difference
between your motorcycle’s GVWR and wet weight.
Refer to the Specifications section of this manual or the
Manufacturing Information/VIN label on the motorcycle frame for
model-specific information.
When determining the weight you will be adding to your
motorcycle, and to ensure you do not exceed the maximum load
capacity, include the following:
• Operator body weight
• Passenger body weight
• Weight of all rider’s apparel and items in or on apparel
• Weight of any post-production accessories and their contents
• Weight of any additional cargo on the motorcycle

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could result in a
crash or cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in
addition to notifying INDIAN MOTORCYCLE in writing.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation,
and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it
may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot
become involved in individual problems between you, your
INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer or Indian Motorcycle Company.
To contact NHTSA, or obtain other information about motor vehicle
safety, you may either call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-
888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), visit the NHTSA web site at
