and release it. It should move freely and smoothly
and should return to its rest position quickly when
released. You should feel a firm resistance in the
lever within the first 3/4-inch (19 mm) of lever travel.
On some models, lever reach (distance to the hand grip)
is adjustable. To adjust, pull and hold the lever away
from the grip.

To increase reach distance, turn the adjuster to align a
lower number to the indicator mark on the lever.
S
To decrease reach distance, turn the adjuster to align a
higher number to the indicator mark on the lever.
On all other models, if the brake lever travels too far before beginning to engage the brake, see the VICTORY
Service Manual
