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. Position the front wheel straight ahead. Grasp
the front forks near the front axle and attempt to
move the wheel front-to-back. If there is front-
to-back movement at the steering head, see your
VICTORY dealer for service.
