Maintenance
Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace, or repair the emission control
devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized VICTORY dealer can perform any
service that may be necessary for your vehicle. VICTORY recommends VICTORY parts for
emissions-related service, however equivalent parts may be used for such service. It is a
potential violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an aftermarket parts
manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle’s emission controls. Tampering with
emission controls is prohibited by federal law.
Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in this owner’s
manual.
Proper maintenance assures the highest level of safety, durability and dependability for your
motorcycle.
• Your VICTORY dealer can perform the initial maintenance procedures when the
motorcycle’s odometer registers 500 miles (800 km).
• Review the safety-related maintenance information. See page 19.
• Perform the recommended periodic maintenance at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance table. See page 54.
Before beginning any maintenance procedure, read the instructions for the entire procedure.
During some procedures you may use potentially hazardous products such as oil or brake
fluid. Always follow the instructions and warnings on the product packaging.
WARNING!
Improperly installed or adjusted components can make the motorcycle unstable or hard to
handle. Improperly installed electrical components can cause engine or electrical system failure. In
either event, damage or serious injury could result. If you do not have the time, tools and expertise
necessary to complete a procedure properly, a qualified dealer can perform these operations.
Break-In Maintenance
Perform the break-in maintenance procedures when the motorcycle’s odometer registers 500
miles (800 km). Your authorized VICTORY dealer can provide this service.
Performing the break-in maintenance will help ensure optimum engine performance for the
entire service life of the engine. Your dealer can change engine oil, inspect all fluids and
serviceable components, ensure that all fasteners are tightened and make other adjustments
as needed.
