Voltage Regulator
Th e output of the alternator is controlled and changed
from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) by
the voltage regulator. Located on the frame in front of
the engine, the voltage regulator increases the charging
rate when the battery is low and decreases the charging
rate when the battery is well charged.
If you experience any electrical system diffi culties that
may be linked to the alternator or voltage regulator, do
not attempt to perform repairs yourself. Instead, we
recommend taking the motorcycle to your authorized
Indian Motorcycle dealer as they have the necessary
electrical testing equipment to solve the problem quickly
and effi
ciently.
Circuit Breakers
Th e wiring of your motorcycle is protected by the Body
Control Module (BCM): head and tail lights; engine
stop/run switch and ignition coil; ignition switch and
main power; brake light, horn and turn signals. When
an electrical fault trips the BCM, they automatically
return steady power to the circuit. If the electrical fault
is not found and corrected, the BCM returns power to
the circuit, but intermittently. When this happens, the
motorcycle will operate erratically and the battery will
eventually lose its charge.
For electrical problems, we recommend taking the
motorcycle to your authorized Indian Motorcycle
Company dealer for service.
Fuses
Your motorcycle is protected by fuses.
Fuse removal procedure:
1. Remove left center fairing under the seat using a
5/32” allen wrench (See Figure 28)
2. Disconnect the auxillary power connector
3. Remove fuse and replace with spare fuse
4. Install center fairing fasteners and tighten.
Battery
Keeping your battery fully charged increases its lifespan
and reduces the likelihood of failure while riding. When
the motorcycle is not being ridden, we suggest a battery
tender be hooked to the battery to maintain 100%
charge. Your Indian Motorcycle is equipped with a
battery tender lead (3amp Max) that is located inside the
upper edge of the center fairing.
Keep the battery in peak operating effi ciency by
cleaning the connections regularly (See fi gure 30) . Th e
battery is located under the seat, so in order to check
the battery; you will have to remove the seat. (See
SEAT REMOVAL). Th
e battery connections should
be cleaned and checked for tightness every 2500 miles
(4000 km). Clean the battery terminals with a wire
