Drivebelt Inspection
NOTE: It is recommended that your Victory dealer inspect the drive belt annually.
1.
Visually inspect the drive belt for cuts, excessive wear, foreign substance (oil,
etc.), missing teeth, delamination of the outer belt covering, or any unusual
damage.
2.
If any damage is found, the belt should be replaced. See Victory dealer if your
belt needs to be replaced.
Drivebelt Sprockets Inspection
