Cleaning and Storage

This section explains how to properly clean the various parts of your Victory motorcycle and how to store it
to keep it in good working order and appearance.

Cleaning

Clean your motorcycle regularly to protect it from corrosion and to keep it looking new. As you clean your
motorcycle you perform a complete and thorough visual inspection that may reveal components in need of
repair.
Clean the motorcycle if it is dusty or muddy, or if it has picked up foreign material such as road salt, insects,
oil, tar, or tree sap. If you ride in an area with salty or polluted air, wash your motorcycle frequently. Proper
cleaning requires washing and drying the motorcycle, and then applying wax, polish, and protectants to
extend the service life and appearance of various components.
During cleaning you might use products that are potentially hazardous; such as polishing compounds. When
using any of these products, follow the instructions and warnings on the product packaging.
Some foreign materials like insects, oil, tar, and tree sap can damage the motorcycle's fit and finish, and you
should remove these materials as soon as possible. If normal washing does not remove these materials, you
may need to use a special cleaner. Choose a cleaner designed for use on the type of surface you need to clean.
