Front Fork / Suspension Inspection
1. Place the motorcycle on the sidestand and inspect the front
forks. If fork oil is present on the outer tube, do not ride the
motorcycle. See your dealer for service before operating. If
fork oil is present around the fork seals or inner tubes, replace
the fork seals.
2. Clean the fork tubes to remove bugs, tar or buildup which may
cause seal wear or leakage. Inspect the outer surfaces of the
inner fork tubes for scratches or damage from foreign objects.
3. Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright
position. Apply the front brake and push downward (hard) on
the handlebars several times. The front suspension should
operate smoothly and quietly.
4. Fork oil condition and level affects front suspension perfor-
mance and internal component wear. Replace fork oil at the
recommended intervals. Special tools are required to perform
this procedure. See the VICTORY Service Manual or your authorized VICTORY dealer.
