Maintenance
Wheel Spokes
Inspect both wheels for loose, bent, broken or missing spokes (if
equipped). To identify loose spokes, grasp each spoke and try to
move it side to side or up and down. All spokes should be
equally tight and have the same amount of flex. Tighten loose
spokes and replace bent, broken or missing spokes (see an
authorized VICTORY dealer).
WARNING! Spokes adjusted or replaced improperly could distort the
wheel, make the motorcycle difficult to handle, and cause loss of
control.
Wheels
Inspect both wheels for cracks or damage and replace damaged wheels promptly. Do not
operate the motorcycle if wheels are damaged or cracked. See the
VICTORY Service Manual
or your authorized VICTORY dealer.
Exhaust System
Check the exhaust system for stains from leaking exhaust gasses. Replace damaged or
leaking exhaust gaskets. See the
VICTORY Service Manual or your authorized VICTORY
dealer. Check all exhaust system fasteners.
