Hydraulic Clutch - Victory Motorcycles Vision Tour Rider's Manual

Pre-Ride Inspections

Hydraulic Clutch

1. Position the motorcycle on level ground in the fully
upright position. Position the handlebars so that the
clutch fluid reservoir is level.
2. View the fluid level through the sight glass. The fluid
should be clear. Replace cloudy or contaminated fluid.
3. The fluid level should be at or above the top of the sight
glass. Add DOT 4 brake fluid as needed. See page 73.
4. Squeeze and release the clutch lever. It should move
freely and smoothly, and it should return to the rest
position quickly when released. If the lever fails to
perform as stated, service the lever before riding.
5. Check for any signs of clutch fluid leaks around the
hoses, fittings, fluid reservoir and slave cylinder located
at the rear of the left engine (primary) cover.
Mechanical Clutch
1. Squeeze the clutch lever toward the handlebar
and release it. It should move freely and
smoothly, and it should return to the rest
position quickly when released. If the lever fails
to perform as stated, service the clutch lever
before riding.
2. Freeplay (gap) is the amount of lever
movement from the rest position to the point of
cable resistance. Clutch lever freeplay should
be 0.5-1.5 mm. Measure the gap between the
clutch lever and the lever housing. Adjust
clutch lever freeplay if necessary. See page 74.
Tip: The starter interlock switch is dependent on the
clutch lever freeplay being set correctly to ensure activation of the clutch safety switch.
