• Keep cargo and accessory weight to a minimum, and keep items
as close to the motorcycle as possible to minimize a change in
the motorcycle’s center of gravity. Changing the center of
gravity can cause loss of stability and handling and could cause
loss of control.
• Do not exceed the GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR)
or the GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) for your
motorcycle.
• Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the motorcycle.
Maintain even weight distribution by checking accessories and
cargo to make sure they’re securely attached to the motorcycle
before riding and whenever you take a break from riding.
Uneven weight distribution or sudden shifting of accessories or
cargo while you’re riding may cause difficult handling, loss of
control and driving hazards for other motorists (if cargo falls
from the motorcycle).
• For riding comfort and to ensure proper ground clearance,
adjust rear shock preload. See the Rear Shock Preload (Ride
Height) Inspection section for details.
• Do not attach large or heavy cargo such as sleeping bags, duffle
bags or tents to the handlebars, front fork area or front fender.
Cargo or accessories placed in these areas can cause instability
(due to improper weight distribution or aerodynamic changes)
and could cause loss of control.
• Do not exceed the maximum cargo weight limit of any accessory
(see accessory instructions and labels). Do not attach cargo to
an accessory not designed for that purpose. Either circumstance
could result in an accessory failure that could cause loss of
control.
• Always obey posted speed limits.
• Do not attach anything to the motorcycle unless specifically
designed for that purpose by INDIAN MOTORCYCLE.

If you must transport the motorcycle:
• Use a truck or trailer. Do not tow the motorcycle with another
vehicle, as towing will impair the motorcycle’s steering and
handling.
• Position and restrain the motorcycle in an upright position.
• Do not restrain the motorcycle using the handlebars.
• Loop tiedown straps (from the front) up and over the lower triple
clamp, using care to not interfere with wiring and brake lines.
Place tiedowns as wide apart as possible on the truck or trailer
bed for best stability.
• Do not engage the side stand during truck or trailer
transportation.
