Swing Arm / Rear Axle Inspection

1. Sit in the operator's seat and bounce the rear
suspension a few times, checking for free
movement without binding. Listen for abnormal
noises.
2. Safely elevate and support the motorcycle with
the rear tire 1-2 inches off the floor (see
page 200).
3. Grasp the rear-most surface of the rear tire and
attempt to move the wheel side to side. If there
is movement at the front of the swingarm, check
the swingarm pivot nut torque and swingarm
pivot bearings.
4. Contact your VICTORY dealer for service if you
detect noise or movement at the swingarm pivot.
