appear in the oil tank when starting and warming up the
engine. If the engine does not reach normal operating
temperature in cold conditions, this water will not
vaporize again and will accumulate in the oil tank. In
freezing weather, water in the oil tank will become slush
or ice and may block the oil lines causing damage to the
engine.
CAUTION!
Water mixed with oil over a period of time can form
sludge that is harmful to the engine and causes added
stress to various working parts. Failure to follow
recommendations for winter lubrication could result in
engine damage not covered by the Indian Motorcycle
Company Limited Warranty.
Transmission Lubrication
Checking and changing transmission lubricant
regularly enhances the performance and service life
of transmission components. Th
e transmission fl uid
should be changed after the fi rst 500 miles (800 km)
and at 5000 mile (8000 km) intervals thereafter when
riding under normal conditions. Indian® transmission
fl uids are specifi cally approved for their suitability in
our transmissions. Th
erefore, use only Indian® 80-90w
transmission fl uid.

the oil level again.
23. Add oil if necessary.
WARNING!
Be careful not to get any oil on the tires when changing
the engine oil and fi lter. Oil on the tires will impair traction
and could lead to loss of control of the motorcycle,
resulting in possible personal injury and damage to the
motorcycle.
Winter Lubrication
Operating your motorcycle in cold conditions requires
special attention, especially with regard to engine
lubrication. In winter, the oil change intervals must be
more frequent than for motorcycles operated in warm
conditions. Th
e further below freezing the temperature
drops, the more frequent the oil change intervals should
become. Due to the fact that water vapor condenses into
water on the cold metal surface of an engine, water can
