Maintenance

•
Do not operate the rear brake while its reservoir cover is removed. Fluid could overflow from the
reservoir and cause air to enter the fluid system. Air in the brake fluid system could cause the
brakes to malfunction.
•
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed, clean container. Using the wrong brake fluid, or
allowing contaminants into the brake fluid system, can damage the system seals, resulting in the
brakes malfunctioning.
WARNING
6. Carefully add enough brake fluid to bring the level between MIN and MAX.
7. Reinstall the reservoir gasket and cover.
8. Reinstall the side cover.
Check Brake Pads
Look into the front brake caliper(s) from underneath, and into
the rear brake caliper from behind, you should see at least 1/16
inch (1.6 mm) of friction material on each of the brake pads. If
in doubt, measure remaining friction material. Replace brake
pads having less than the specified amount of friction material
at their thinnest point.
If the brake pads require replacement, see the
Victory Service
Manual
or an authorized Victory dealer for assistance.
