SAFETY
Maintenance
Maintain the motorcycle according to the following requirements:
S Before each ride, complete a pre-operation check as outlined beginning on page 64. Operating the motorcycle
without completing the pre-operation check can cause damage to the motorcycle or result in an accident.
S Perform periodic maintenance according to the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Interval tables be-
ginning on page 93. Operating the motorcycle without performing periodic maintenance can damage the motor-
cycle or result in bodily injury.
S Maintain proper tire pressure and tread condition and proper wheel and tire balance. Inspect tires regularly and
replace them if they're worn or damaged. Use only an approved replacement tire and see the Victory Service
Manual or your authorized Victory Dealer for tire replacement. Operating the motorcycle with improper tire pres-
sure or tread condition, or improper wheel or tire balance, can make the motorcycle hard to handle and cause loss
of control.
S Check proper steering head bearing adjustment. Regularly inspect the rear shock absorber and the front forks.
Check for fork oil or shock absorber fluid leaks. Operating the motorcycle with a loose, worn, or damaged steer-
ing system or front or rear suspension system can make the motorcycle hard to handle and cause loss of control.
To repair steering or suspension system wear or damage, see the Victory Service Manual or contact your autho-
rized Victory Dealer.
