Pre-Ride Inspections
To keep your motorcycle in safe operating condition, always perform the recommended pre-
ride inspections before each ride. This is especially important before making a long trip and
when removing the motorcycle from storage.
WARNING!
Failure to perform the recommended pre-ride inspections could result in component failure
while riding, which could result in serious injury or death. Always perform the pre-ride inspections
before each ride.
You must be familiar with all instruments and controls to perform the pre-ride inspections.
Tip:
During the pre-ride inspections you may use products that are potentially hazardous, such as oil or
brake fluid. When using any of these products, always follow the instructions and warnings on the
product packaging.
When inspections reveal the need for adjustment, replacement or repair:
• refer to the maintenance section of this manual (page 51)
• refer to the
VICTORY Service Manual
• or see your authorized VICTORY dealer
