Maintenance

2. Remove the fuse box cover.

3. If any fuse is blown, turn off main switch. Install new fuse of specified amperage. Turn on switches and see if system operates correctly. Repeat fuse failure indicates an electrical problem.

CAUTION Do not use fuses of a higher amperage rating than what is specified.

If the correctly rated fuse continues to blow, something is wrong and needs to be corrected. Substituting a higher amperage fuse can lead to extensive electrical system and vehicle damage.

EXHAUST SYSTEM INSPECTION

ELEVATING THE MOTORCYCLE

WARNING Serious injury or death can occur if the motorcycle tips or falls.

Make sure the motorcycle will not tip or fall while elevated or while on the sidestand.

Some procedures require raising the motorcycle to remove weight from the component being inspected. Elevate the motorcycle by placing a stable, flat platform jack or lift mechanism on a firm, flat surface and lifting under the engine crankcase. The platform should be a minimum of 12 inches (30 cm) square. DO NOT attempt to lift the motorcycle without proper equipment. Always secure the motorcycle properly before lifting so it cannot tip or fall when elevated.

ROAD TEST

Before returning the motorcycle to regular use, perform a road test in a safe area. Pay special attention to the proper fit and operation of all serviced components.

Make any corrections or additional adjustments promptly to ensure safe, reliable and enjoyable vehicle performance.

FASTENER INSPECTION

1. Inspect the entire motorcycle chassis and engine for loose, damaged or missing fasteners. Tighten loose fasteners to the proper torque. See the INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Service Manual or an authorized INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer or other qualified dealer.

2. Always replace stripped, damaged or broken fasteners before riding. Use genuine INDIAN MOTORCYCLE fasteners of equal size and strength.
