Wheel Spokes
Inspect both wheels for loose, bent, broken or missing spokes (if
equipped). To identify loose spokes, grasp each spoke and try to
move it side to side or up and down. All spokes should be
equally tight and have the same amount of flex. Tighten loose
spokes and replace bent, broken or missing spokes (see an autho-
rized VICTORY dealer).
WARNING! Spokes adjusted or replaced improperly could distort the
wheel, make the motorcycle difficult to handle, and cause loss of
control.

Wheel Inspection

Inspect both wheels for cracks or damage and replace damaged wheels promptly. Do not
operate the motorcycle if wheels are damaged or cracked. See the VICTORY Service Manual
or your authorized VICTORY dealer.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Tone Ring/Sensor Inspection
1. Visually inspect for damaged teeth
on the front and rear ABS tone
rings. Inspect for nicks and dents
on the face of the teeth. The teeth
edges should be consistent in
appearance. If a tone ring is dam-
aged, see your VICTORY dealer
for replacement as soon as possi-
ble.
2. Inspect for debris adhering to the
end of the wheel speed sensors. If
contamination is observed, or if
you are unable to visually inspect,
slide a thin towel across the face of
the sensor between the sensor and
the tone ring to remove any poten-
tial debris.
Tires
WARNING
Operating the motorcycle with improper tires or with improper or uneven tire pressure could cause loss
of control or accident. Always use the correct size and type of tires specified for your vehicle. Always
maintain proper tire pressure as recommended in the owner's manual and on safety labels.
Tire Condition
Inspect the tire sidewalls, road contact surface, and tread base for cuts, punctures, and crack-
ing. Replace damaged tires immediately. See the VICTORY Service Manual or an authorized
VICTORY dealer.
