Throttle Cable Lubrication; Hydraulic Clutch Fluid - Victory 2012 Ness Signature Series Rider's Manual

Throttle Cable Lubrication

Lubricate control cable ends at the intervals recommended in the periodic maintenance table
beginning on page 58.
NOTICE: External casings are factory-lubricated. Additional lubrication could be detrimental to cable
performance.
Verify proper routing and smooth movement. Inspect for damage to the external casing, and
inspect exposed cable wire for fraying, kinks or corrosion. Replace any damaged, sticky or
sluggish cable.
1. Disconnect the cable at the throttle body.
2. Apply a light film of VICTORY All Purpose Grease or equivalent to the barrel end.
3. Reconnect the cable and adjust freeplay as needed.
Cruise Control Cable Inspection
(if equipped)
1. Remove the right side access cover.
2. Inspect the throttle body end of the cruise con-
trol cable for fraying and be sure the end is
secured in the bracket.
Hydraulic Clutch Lever Lubrication
Lubricate the pivot bushing at the intervals recom-
mended in the periodic maintenance table beginning
on page 58. Also lubricate any time binding is evi-
dent. Use VICTORY All Purpose Grease or equiva-
lent.

Hydraulic Clutch Fluid

Check the hydraulic clutch fluid level. See page 44.
The fluid level should be at or above the top of the
sight glass. Add fluid as needed. Replace cloudy or
contaminated fluid.
Use DOT 4 brake fluid in the hydraulic clutch reservoir. Use fluid only from a sealed, clean
container. Review the brake fluid precautions on page 74.
Do not operate the clutch while the reservoir cover is removed. Fluid could overflow from
the reservoir and cause air to enter the fluid system.
WARNING! Using the wrong fluid or allowing air or contaminants into the fluid system can damage the
system seals or result in a malfunction that could lead to serious injury or death.
