Maintenance
Rear Suspension Adjustment
For riding comfort and to ensure proper ground clear-
ance, adjust rear shock air pressure as specified on the
label located in the right saddlebag cover (reproduced
below).
Follow these guidelines when adjusting:
• Park the motorcycle with the sidestand down on a
firm, level surface. Remove all riders and cargo.
• DO NOT exceed 72 PSI (496 kPa) in the shock.
• Use the VICTORY Air Pump and Gauge (P/N
2876654). Follow the instructions on the following
pages.
If the VICTORY air pump and gauge are not available, use the gauge provided in the tool kit,
and a pressurized air source with a maximum line pressure of 72 PSI (496 kPa). After using
this gauge, remove it quickly to minimize leakage. Expect to lose about 4 PSI (27.6 kPa)
with each pressure check when using this gauge.
Use only a dry air source , such as a system
with a water separator or air line dryer, to prevent moisture from entering the shock.
CAUTION! Air pressure increases VERY quickly when using pressurized air. Wear eye and face
protection .
