Maintenance Intervals

The maintenance interval charts outline required maintenance and inspection based on vehicle miles. Each table states the number of miles that service is required on the vehicle. Some items or components may need to be serviced more often due to severe use. When the vehicle goes beyond 50,000 mi (80,000 km), return to the 500 mi (800 km) chart and start the interval process over.

XU - Perform these procedures more often for vehicles subjected to severe use.

D - Have an authorized INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer perform these services.
