Instruments, Features and Controls
Throttle Control Grip
The throttle control grip is located on the
right handlebar. Use the throttle control grip
to control engine speed. While seated in the
proper riding position:
• Rotate the top of the grip rearward to
increase engine speed and power.
• Rotate the top of the grip forward to
decrease engine speed and power.
Brakes
Linked Braking System
The front and rear brakes on the motorcycle are linked. The front brake lever activates only
the front brake calipers. The rear brake pedal activates the rear brake caliper fully while
simultaneously activating one of the three pistons in each front brake caliper.
For maximum brake effectiveness, apply the front brake lever and the rear brake pedal
together, as with a conventional (non-linked) brake system.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
This system is a linked brake system. The anti-lock brake system automatically reduces or
increases brake pressure as needed to provide optimum braking control, reducing the chance
of wheel lock-up during hard braking events or when braking on rough, uneven, slippery or
loose surfaces. See page 8.
• The anti-lock brake system cannot be turned off.
• The ABS indicator always illuminates when the key is in the ON or ACC position and
remains on until the anti-lock system activates, which occurs when vehicle speed exceeds
6 MPH (10 km/h).
• When the lamp is illuminated, the anti-lock brakes will not activate, but the conventional
brake system will continue to operate normally.
• When the anti-lock brakes engage during a braking event, the rider will feel pulsing at the
brake levers.
Continue to apply steady pressure to the brakes for the best stopping perfor-
mance.
• If the ABS light does not come on when the key is turned to the ON or ACC position, see
your authorized VICTORY dealer for service.
• If the lamp continues to illuminate after vehicle speed exceeds 6 MPH (10 km/h), the ABS
system is not functioning. See your VICTORY dealer promptly for service.
