Pre-Ride Inspections
Front Brake Lever
Pull the front brake lever toward the handlebar and release it. It should move freely and
smoothly, and it should return to its rest position quickly when released. You should feel a
firm resistance in the lever within the first 3/4 inch (19 mm) of lever travel.
If the lever fails to perform as stated, service the brake lever before riding. See the VICTORY
Service Manual or your authorized VICTORY dealer.
Brake Lever Reach Adjustment
Lever reach (distance to the hand grip) is adjust-
able.
1. Pull and hold the lever away from the grip.
2. To increase reach distance, turn the adjuster
to align a lower number to the indicator mark
on the lever.
3. To decrease reach distance, turn the adjuster
to align a higher number to the indicator
mark on the lever.
Front Brake Fluid Level
1. Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the
fully upright position. Position the handle-
bars so that the fluid reservoir is level.
2. View the fluid level through the sight glass.
The fluid should be clear. Replace cloudy or
contaminated fluid.
3. The fluid level should be at or above the top
of the sight glass. Add fluid as needed. See page 63.
