Pre-Ride Inspections
Tire Pressure
1. Check tire pressure before riding, when the tires are cold. This will provide the most
accurate reading, as riding warms the tires and increases tire air pressure.
2. Adjust tire pressure as needed based on the total weight of your intended load. Refer to
the tire pressure table. See page 69.
Tire Condition
Inspect the tire sidewalls, road contact surface and tread base. If inspection reveals cuts,
punctures, cracks or other wear or damage, replace the tire before riding. Use only approved
replacement tires. See the VICTORY Service Manual or your authorized VICTORY dealer.
Tire Tread Depth
Wear bars (if equipped) are easily visible tread depth indicators. When the road contact sur-
face has worn to the top of the wear bars, replace the tire. See page 69.
Cargo Restraints
Inspect all cargo restraints when carrying cargo. Make sure all restraints are tightly secure to
prevent cargo from shifting.
