Maintenance
Headlight Lamp Replacement
High intensity discharge (HID) lamps, if equipped, should be handled only by a trained
technician wearing the appropriate protective gear. See the
VICTORY Service Manual or an
authorized VICTORY dealer.
Halogen Lamps
1. Unplug the wiring harness from the back of the headlight (lift the tab). Be sure to pull on
the connector, not on the wiring.
Tip: Avoid touching a halogen lamp with bare fingers. Oil from your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot
spot that will shorten the life of the lamp. If a lamp is touched, clean it thoroughly with denatured
alcohol.
2. Remove the spent lamp. Apply dielectric grease to the socket and install a new lamp.
3. Reinstall the wiring harness.
Sidestand Lubrication
1. Secure the motorcycle in a fully upright position
using an appropriate motorcycle lift or a block of
wood or steel placed securely under the frame.
2. Move the sidestand upward to its stored position.
CAUTION! Wear face protection. The sidestand return spring
is under tension and can injure your eyes and face when
released.
3. Hold the nut and remove the sidestand pivot bolt
and sidestand return spring. Wipe any old grease
and dirt from the sidestand, frame and pivot bolt.
4. Lubricate the sidestand, the pivot bolt and the ends of the spring with VICTORY All
Purpose Grease or equivalent.
5. Reinstall the sidestand spring and place the sidestand on the mounting boss with the
stand in the stored (up) position. Install the pivot bolt and tighten it while holding the
nut.
Torque: 35 ft-lbs (47 Nm)
6. Verify that the sidestand moves freely through its pivot range.
