Rear Suspension Adjustment

To provide the most comfortable ride and proper
ground clearance, adjust air pressure in the rear shock
absorber as specified on the decal (located in left
saddlebag area) for total cargo and occupant weight.
Follow these guidelines to adjust air pressure:
• Rest motorcycle on sidestand on level ground.
Remove all riders and cargo.
• VICTORY Air Pump & Gauge PV-48909 is
preferred for checking and adjusting pressure. If
not available, use a pressurized air source
(maximum line pressure 72 PSI) and the gauge
provided in the tool kit. DO NOT exceed 72 PSI (496 kPa) in the shock.
• Use ONLY A DRY AIR SOURCE, such as a system with a water separator or air line
dryer to prevent moisture from entering the shock. The shock has small volume. Air
pressure increases VERY quickly when using pressurized air.
NOTE:
Each time pressure is checked with the gauge in the tool kit, approximately 4 PSI (27.5 kPa)
is lost to fill the volume of the gauge. Once you've set the pressure with the gauge, remove
it quickly to minimize leakage, and expect to see a reduction from the previous reading of
about 4 PSI if you recheck the pressure with the tool kit gauge.
