Pre-Ride Inspections
Drive Belt
1. Check drive belt tension. See page 153. The
drive belt should fit tightly.
Tip: The drive belt system must be cool, clean and dry to
accurately measure belt tension (deflection). Do not
measure belt tension when the belt or drive system
is wet, or when it is hot (such as immediately after
riding).
2. Check the drive belt teeth for stones or other
debris.
3. Inspect drive belt condition. If you discover
cracks, broken teeth or frayed edges, replace
the drive belt before riding. See the VICTORY
Service Manual or an authorized VICTORY
dealer.
