Steering Head Inspection

1. Elevate and support the motorcycle with the
front tire slightly off the floor.
CAUTION! Make sure the motorcycle is stable when
elevated. Injury may occur if the motorcycle tips or falls.
2. Turn the handlebars from stop to stop. The
action should be smooth but not loose. Make
sure wires, hoses and control cables do not inter-
fere with smooth steering.
3. Alternately push and pull on the lower fork legs
and feel for movement in the steering head area.
See your VICTORY dealer if any movement is
detected.
