PRE-RIDE CHECKS

Check Brake Pads

Look at each front brake pad on both sides of
the front disc at viewing angle (1).
Look at each rear brake pad on both sides of
the rear disc at viewing angle shown (2).
You should see at least 1.5 mm of friction
material on each front brake pad, and a
minimum of 1.0 mm of friction material on each
rear brake pad. If in doubt, measure remaining
friction material.
See page 172 for brake disc inspection.
Check each caliper for dampness or stains
from leaking or dried fluid that would indicate a
leak from caliper piston seals (behind the
brake pads), a brake hose, or a connection.
Have your VICTORY dealer replace brake
pads if worn beyond the minimum friction
material thickness at their thinnest point, or if
brake fluid leakage is evident. (See WARNING: page 95.)
