Braking - Victory V92TC Owner's Manual

Operation

Braking

To slow the motorcycle with the brakes, close the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes evenly. As the
motorcycle slows, either disengage the clutch or downshift each time your speed reaches a downshift point.
Applying slightly more front brake than rear brake generally gives you the best braking performance. Do not
apply the brakes so forcefully or quickly that either wheel stops rotating. Leave sufficient distance so you can
apply the brakes gradually if you need to stop.
WARNING
• Do not apply either brake so strongly that the wheel stops rotating. This may cause you to lose
control of the motorcycle.
• Braking hard on wet, rough, loose, or slippery surfaces can cause the motorcycle to skid, and you
could lose control of the motorcycle. Apply the brakes lightly on such surfaces.
• Braking while in a curve can cause you to lose control of the motorcycle. Bring the motorcycle to
the upright position before applying the brakes, and avoid applying the brakes in a corner if at
all possible.
