MAINTENANCE
Air Filter
Inspect the air filter on a regular basis. Inspect more often if riding in unusually wet
or dusty conditions. Replace filter if necessary. Refer to page 12 for filter location.
1. To remove the air filter
access cover, remove the
two screws securing the
cover to the unit.
2. Slide the “panel type” air
filter out to inspect.
3. Replace filter.
NOTE: If replacing with a new
filter, it may be helpful to apply a
small amount of lubrication to
the edge of the filter to allow it to
slide in more easily.
4. Reinstall the access cover.
Brake System
WARNING:
Be sure the brakes are working properly. A soft or spongy feel-
ing in the brake lever or pedal can indicate the presence of air in the brake system.
This air must be removed by bleeding the brake system before the motorcycle is
operated. Air in the system will cause greatly diminished braking capability and
can result in loss of control and an accident. Have a Victory dealer inspect and
bleed the brake system if necessary.
Brake Pedal Freeplay Adjustment
1. Measure pedal freeplay
travel as illustrated. The
freeplay
measurement
should be 5 - 8 mm when
light downward pressure is
applied
to
the
pedal.
NOTE:
No movement of
the master cylinder piston
should occur.
2. If the pedal freeplay is
outside of specification,
loosen the locking nuts and
turn the adjustment rod in
or out as necessary to
achieve the correct brake
pedal freeplay.
3. Tighten the lock nut and verify that the rear wheel rotates freely without drag or
binding.
