Maintenance

Elevating the Motorcycle

WARNING! Serious injury or death can occur if the motorcycle tips or falls. Make sure the motorcycle
will not tip or fall while elevated or while on the sidestand.
Some procedures require raising the motorcycle to remove weight from the component being
inspected. Elevate the motorcycle by placing a stable, flat platform jack or lift mechanism on
a firm, flat surface and lifting under the engine crankcase. The platform should be a mini-
mum of 12 inches (30 cm) square. DO NOT attempt to lift the motorcycle without proper
equipment. Always secure the motorcycle properly before lifting so it cannot tip or fall when
elevated.

Road Test

Before returning the motorcycle to regular use, perform a road test in a safe area. Pay special
attention to the proper fit and operation of all serviced components.
Make any corrections or additional adjustments promptly to ensure safe, reliable and enjoy-
able vehicle performance.

Fastener Inspection

1. Inspect the entire motorcycle chassis and engine for loose, damaged or missing fasten-
ers. Tighten loose fasteners to the proper torque.
Tip: Refer to the specifications section of this manual or the service manual for fastener torque values,
or see your VICTORY dealer.
2. Always replace stripped, damaged or broken fasteners before riding. Use genuine VIC-
TORY fasteners of equal size and strength.
