Cold Weather Operation

WARNING
Avoid operating in icy or snowy conditions. Use caution when driving in temperatures at or below 40 f (4 c). Leave more room to stop, reduce cornering speeds, and accelerate gradually. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

When operating in cold weather at or below 40 f (4 c), be advised that:

  • The grip on your standard vehicle tires will lessen and reduce traction.

  • The dense air from the lower temperatures will allow your vehicle engine to generate more power.

  • The engine control program and transmission control program may compensate for lower temperatures and as a result exhibit unexpected behaviors.

  • Salt and sand on roadways may reduce the grip on standard vehicle tires and damage the finish on your vehicle. If you must drive on salted/sanded pavement, INDIAN MOTORCYCLE recommends washing frequently and thoroughly to remove any accumulation on your vehicle.
