Maintenance
Major Maintenance
Major repairs typically require technical skills and specially designed tools. Emission system
service requires special tools and training and can be performed by your dealer. For more
information, see the
VICTORY Service Manual.
Your authorized VICTORY dealer can
assist.
Periodic Maintenance
Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When inspection reveals the
need for replacement parts, use genuine VICTORY parts available from your VICTORY
dealer. Equivalent parts may be used for emissions-related service. Record service and
maintenance information in the Maintenance Record. See page 105.
Perform maintenance at the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance table. See page
54.
Vehicles subjected to severe use must be inspected and serviced more frequently
.
Severe Use Definition
• high speed operation for extended periods
• low speed operation for extended periods
• operation in dusty or otherwise adverse conditions
• operation in cold weather (temperatures below freezing)
Road Tests
Before returning the motorcycle to regular use, perform a road test in a safe area. Pay special
attention to the proper fit and operation of all serviced components. Make any corrections or
additional adjustments promptly to ensure safe, reliable and enjoyable vehicle performance.
Elevating the Motorcycle
WARNING!
Serious injury or death can occur if the motorcycle tips or falls. Make sure the motorcycle
will not tip or fall while elevated or while on the sidestand.
Some procedures require raising the motorcycle to remove weight from the component being
inspected. Elevate the motorcycle by placing a stable, flat platform jack or lift mechanism on
a firm, flat surface and lifting under the engine crankcase. The platform should be a
minimum of 12 inches (30 cm) square. DO NOT attempt to lift the motorcycle without
proper equipment. Always secure the motorcycle properly before lifting so it cannot tip or
fall when elevated.
