Front Fork Inspection - Polaris 2010 Vegas Owner's Manual

Front Suspension

Front Fork Inspection

1. Place the motorcycle on the sidestand and inspect the front
forks. Make sure there is no fork oil present on the outer fork
tubes, around the fork seals or around the inner tubes.
2. Clean the fork tubes to remove bugs, tar or buildup which may
cause seal wear or leakage.
3. Inspect the outer surfaces of the inner fork tubes for scratches
or damage from foreign objects.
4. Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright
position. Apply the front brake and push downward (hard) on
the handlebars several times. The front suspension should
operate smoothly and quietly.
5. Fork oil condition and level affects front suspension
performance and internal component wear. Replace fork oil at
the recommended intervals. Special tools are required to
perform this procedure. See the VICTORY Service Manual or
your authorized VICTORY dealer.
