Brakes
Front Brake Lever Movement
Squeeze the front brake lever toward the handlebar and release it. It
should move freely and smoothly and should return to its rest position
quickly when released. You should feel a firm resistance in the lever
within the first 3/4-inch (19 mm) of lever travel.
If the brake lever travels too far before beginning to engage the brake,
see the VICTORY Service Manual, or contact an authorized VICTORY
dealer for service.
