Pre-Ride Inspections
Rear Brake Fluid Level
The rear brake fluid reservoir is located near the rear brake
pedal. View the reservoir level from the right side of the
vehicle.
1. Position the motorcycle on
level ground in the fully
upright position.
2. View the brake fluid
through the reservoir.
3. The fluid should be clear.
Replace cloudy or
contaminated fluid.
4. The fluid level should be above the minimum indicator
mark on the reservoir body. Add brake fluid as needed.
See page 76.
Brake Lines
Inspect all brake hoses and connections for dampness or
stains from leaking or dried fluid. Tighten any leaking
connections to the proper torque values and replace
components as necessary. See the INDIAN MOTORCYCLE
Service Manual or an authorized INDIAN MOTORCYCLE
dealer.
WARNING! Brake fluid leaks or low brake fluid levels could cause
brake system failure, which could result in serious injury or death. Do
not operate the vehicle with low brake fluid levels or when leaks are
evident (dampness or stains from dried fluid). See your authorized
INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer.

Mechanical Clutch
1. Squeeze the clutch lever toward the handlebar and
release it. It should move freely and smoothly, and it
should return to the rest position quickly when released.
If the lever fails to perform as stated, service the clutch
lever before riding.

2. Freeplay (gap) is the amount of lever movement from
the rest position to the point of cable resistance. Clutch
lever freeplay should be 0.5-1.5 mm. Measure the gap
between the clutch lever and the lever housing. See
page 73. Adjust clutch lever freeplay if necessary.
Tip: The starter interlock switch is dependent on the clutch lever
freeplay being set correctly to ensure activation of the clutch
safety switch.
