Tire Inflation

Inflate the tires to normal pressure.

Battery Care

1. Remove the battery (see "Remove Battery" page 137).
2. To clean oxidation from the battery posts and cable connectors, use a wire brush. Wash the posts and cable
connectors with a solution of 1 part baking soda to 16 parts water. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry. Apply a
thin film of dielectric grease (available from your Victory dealer) to the posts and cable connectors.
3. Clean the outside of the battery with a solution of mild detergent and warm water.
4. Store the battery in a dry location that maintains a temperature of 32_ to 90_F (0_ to 32_C).
5. While in storage, fully charge the battery once a month (see "Charge Battery" page 138).

Park and Cover the Motorcycle

Park the motorcycle in its storage location and lock the steering. Cover the motorcycle with a genuine Victory
motorcycle cover, or a cover made from a durable, breathable material designed for storage. Covering the
motorcycle helps protect it from dust and other airborne materials. The cover must be of a breathable material to
prevent moisture from building up on the motorcycle.
Maintenance During Storage
Check and maintain normal tire pressure and battery voltage during storage.
