Engine Oil Level Check

Due to the semi-dry sump lubrication system, the engine oil level shown in the oil sight glass will fluctuate with movement of the motorcycle from a vertical position and with the temperature of the oil. To get an accurate oil level reading, follow all inspection procedures closely.

IMPORTANT

Engine MUST BE AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE when checking oil level. Check oil after riding or after idling a cold engine for 5-10 minutes.

  1. With the motorcycle in an upright (vertical) position, let the warm engine idle for 30 seconds.

  2. Stop the engine.

  3. Place the motorcycle on a level area and hold it in an upright (centered) position.

  4. Inspect the oil level by looking at the oil sight glass. The oil level should be between the FULL 2 and ADD 3 marks.

  5. Do not overfill. If the oil level is low, remove the engine oil fill plug 1 and add INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Synthetic Blend 15W-60 Engine Oil. Repeat steps 1- 4 until the reading is within the safe operation range.

CAUTION

Oil level will NOT be accurate if checked on a cold engine. DO NOT ADD oil to raise level to middle of sight glass on a cold engine, as this can result in overfilling.

NOTICE

Do not overfill! The correct approximate volume is between the FULL and ADD marks.
