Swing Arm / Rear Axle Inspection
1. Sit in the operator's seat and slowly bounce the rear suspension a few times. Make sure
the suspension moves freely without binding. Listen for abnormal noises.
2. Elevate and support the motorcycle with the rear tire slightly off the floor.
CAUTION! Make sure the motorcycle is stable when elevated. Injury may occur if the motorcycle tips
or falls.
3. Grasp the rear-most surface of the rear tire and attempt to move the wheel side-to-side. If
there is movement at the front of the swingarm, check the swingarm pivot nut torque and
swingarm pivot bearings.
4. Contact your VICTORY dealer for service if you detect noise or movement at the swin-
garm pivot.
