Maintenance
Periodic Maintenance
Always position the motorcycle on a firm level surface before performing service. Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and
replace parts as necessary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, use genuine VICTORY parts
available from your VICTORY dealer. Record service and maintenance information in the Maintenance Record
beginning on page 157.
Perform maintenance at the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance table beginning on page 70. Perform the
procedures more frequently if normal use of the motorcycle includes:
• high speed operation for extended periods
• low speed operation for extended periods
• operation in dusty or otherwise adverse conditions
Before beginning any maintenance procedure, read the instructions for the entire procedure. During some procedures
you may use potentially hazardous products such as oil or brake fluid. Always follow the instructions and warnings
on the product packaging.
WARNING! Improperly installed or adjusted components can make the motorcycle unstable or hard to handle. Improperly installed
electrical components can cause engine or electrical system failure. In either event, damage or serious injury could result. If you do
not have the time, tools and expertise necessary to complete a procedure properly, please see your dealer for service.
Road Tests
Before returning the motorcycle to regular use, perform a road test in a safe area. Pay special attention to the proper
fit and operation of all serviced components. Make any corrections or additional adjustments promptly to ensure safe,
reliable and enjoyable vehicle performance.
