Check Sidestand; Check Fasteners - Victory Motorcycles Hammer 2005 Owner's Manual

PRE-OPERATION CHECK

Check Sidestand

Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to a vertical position. Move the
sidestand (1) to its stored (up) position, then to its fully extended
(down) position and back again. It should move smoothly and
quietly. When the sidestand is in its stored position, the sidestand
return spring should hold the sidestand tightly against the
motorcycle.
Check the sidestand pivot bolt for looseness or wear. Tighten or
replace if loose or worn.
Check the condition of the sidestand rubber pad (2), and make sure
it's firmly attached to the sidestand. Check the wear indicator (3) on
the leading edge of the sidestand rubber pad. Replace the pad if worn
beyond the WEAR LIMIT line on the pad.

Check Fasteners

Visually inspect the entire motorcycle chassis and engine for loose,
damaged or missing fasteners. Tighten loose fasteners to the proper
torque (see the specifications section of this manual or see the
VICTORY Service Manual). Immediately replace stripped, damaged
or broken fasteners with genuine VICTORY fasteners of equal size
and strength immediately.
