Parking The Motorcycle - Victory Vegas Jackpot Rider's Manual

Carrying Cargo
Saddlebags
When operating a motorcycle equipped with saddlebags:
• Never ride at speeds exceeding 80 MPH (120 km/h). Depending on load and weather con-
ditions, the maximum safe operating speed may be less. Saddlebags, combined with the
lifting or buffeting effects of wind, can cause instability.
• Distribute weight evenly in each of the saddlebags.
• Do not exceed the maximum cargo capacity of the saddlebags.
• Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).

Parking the Motorcycle

When leaving the motorcycle unattended, turn the engine off. Remove the ignition key to
prevent unauthorized use by minors or those without proper motorcycle certification and
training.
Park the motorcycle where people are not likely to touch the hot engine or exhaust system or
place combustible materials near these hot areas. Do not park near a flammable source such
as a kerosene heater or an open flame, where hot components could ignite combustible mate-
rials.
Park the motorcycle on a firm, level surface. Sloped or soft surfaces may not support the
motorcycle. If you must park on a slope or soft surface, follow the precautions outlined on
page 50.
Modifications
Modifying the motorcycle by removing any equipment or by adding equipment not approved
by VICTORY may void your warranty. Such modifications could make the motorcycle
unsafe to ride and could result in severe injury to operator or passengers, as well as damage
to the motorcycle. Some modifications may not be legal in your area of operation. If in
doubt, contact your authorized VICTORY dealer.
