Rear Brake Pedal
Press and release the rear brake pedal. It should move freely and
smoothly and should return to its rest position quickly when
released. You should feel a firm resistance within the first 8 mm of
pedal travel. If the brake pedal travels too far before beginning to
engage the brake, see the VICTORY Service Manual , or contact an
authorized VICTORY dealer for service.
Inspect and adjust brake pedal
freeplay as outlined on page 114.
Rear Brake Fluid Level
1. To check the rear brake fluid level, remove right side cover.
Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to a vertical position.
2. View the brake fluid through the reservoir (1). The fluid
should be clear and at a level between minimum (MIN) and
maximum (MAX) marks on the side of the reservoir. Add
brake fluid if necessary (see page 116).
