PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Check Sidestand
Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to a vertical position. Move the
sidestand 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 condition of the sidestand rubber pad, and make sure it’s
firmly attached to the sidestand.
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.
