Front Brake Fluid

Change the brake fluid at the intervals recommended in
the periodic maintenance table beginning on page 55.
Do not attempt to change the anti-lock brake system
fluid. See your VICTORY dealer.
1. Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully
upright position. Position the handlebars so that the
fluid reservoir is level. Wipe the fluid container and
the area around the reservoir cover with a clean
cloth.
2. If the fluid level is low, inspect brake pads as out-
lined on page 41. If pads are not worn beyond the
service limit, inspect the brake system for leaks.
3. To add fluid, remove the three reservoir cover
screws. Remove the cover and diaphragm. Carefully
add fluid to the top of the sight glass. Do not overfill. Reinstall the diaphragm, cover and
screws.
Torque: 25 in-lbs (3 Nm)
4. Wipe away any fluid spills. Check for signs of brake fluid leaks around hoses, fittings,
reservoir, and brake calipers. Check for deterioration of hoses.
Brake Disc Inspection / Cleaning
1. Inspect brake pads as outlined on page 41.
2. Inspect brake discs for nicks, scratches, cracks or
other damage. Inspect the thickness of each brake
disc at four or more locations around the disc. If
any disc is worn to the minimum thickness at the
thinnest point, or if a disc is damaged, see your
VICTORY dealer for replacement.
3. Clean discs if minor squeaks develop due to dirt or
dust. Apply VICTORY Brake Cleaner (P/N
2872191) to a clean shop towel and wipe disc. DO
NOT allow brake cleaner to contact painted or
plastic parts. Read all precautions on the label.
