MAINTENANCE
Fluid Level Inspection
WARNING:
Low brake fluid levels may let air enter the brake system, possi-
bly creating poor on non-existent braking. Before riding, check the levels of the
brake fluid and add if necessary. (see page 12 for location of rear brake reservoir)
Observe the following precautions:
D
When checking the level of the
brake fluids, make sure the master
cylinder is level. It may be neces-
sary to move the handlebars or
stand the motorcycle upright.
D
Use only DOT 4. Otherwise, leak-
age or poor brake performance
may result.
D
Refill with the same type brake
fluid.
Mixing different types of
fluids may result in detrimental
chemical reactions and lead to
loss of braking performance.
Do not let water enter the master
cylinder when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point
of the fluid and may result in non-
operative braking.
Brake fluid attacks many painted
surfaces and plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled fluid immediately
with large quantities of water and
mild detergent.
A lowering of the brake fluid level
is normal as the brake pads wear.
If you notice a constant or sudden
lowering of the brake fluid level,
have your Victory dealer inspect
your machine for the cause of the
problem.
