Recommended Shift Points - Victory V92TC Owner's Manual

Operation
Shifting Gears (continued)
WARNING
• Downshifting at a speed in excess of the recommended downshift point may severely damage the
transmission or cause the rear wheel to lose traction. It could also result in engine damage from
running at excessive rpm. Reduce speed before downshifting and do not downshift at a speed
above that in the table of recommended shift points.
• Downshifting abruptly on wet, rough, loose, or slippery surfaces can cause the motorcycle to
skid. When downshifting while passing over such surfaces, release the clutch lever very
gradually.
• Downshifting in a curve may cause the rear wheel to lose traction. Downshift before you enter a
curve.
