Safe Riding

Design Characteristics

The following design characteristics affect how you should ride the Victory motorcycle:
The motorcycle is designed for on- -road use with one rider and one passenger. Do not exceed the gross
S
vehicle weight rating (see Specifications or the certification label on the steering head). Riding off- -road,
riding with more than one passenger, or carrying weight exceeding the maximum weight rating can make
handling difficult, which could cause you to lose control of the motorcycle.
In the first 500 miles, operate the motorcycle according to the break- -in procedures described in "Engine
S
Break- -in" on page 57. Operating the motorcycle without following break- -in procedures can result in
serious engine damage.
Some Victory motorcycles include saddlebags, auxiliary lights, a windshield, a passenger backrest, and a
S
highway bar as standard equipment. Under certain conditions it may be necessary to reduce the operating
speed of motorcycles with this equipment.
