MAINTENANCE
Sidestand
Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to a vertical position. Move the sidestand to its stored (up) position, then to its
fully extended (down) position, and back again. It should move smoothly and quietly. When the sidestand is in its
stored position, the sidestand return spring should hold the sidestand tightly against the motorcycle.
If the sidestand is bent, it should be replaced immediately.
Do not try to straighten a bent sidestand. The sidestand will be weakened, and may not be able to support
the motorcycle.
Caution
Inspect Sidestand Pad
1. Check the condition of the sidestand rubber pad, and make sure it is
firmly attached to the sidestand.
2. Inspect the sidestand rubber pad for wear. Replace the rubber pad if it
is worn above the wear limit (see the Victory Service Manual or an
authorized Victory dealer).
