Maintenance
Tires
Operating the motorcycle with improper tires or with improper or uneven tire pressure could cause loss
of control or accident. Always use the correct size and type of tires specified for your vehicle. Always
maintain proper tire pressure as recommended in the rider’s manual and on safety labels.
Tire Replacement
To meet European Union tire directive 97/24 Chapter 1, always replace tires with the tires
specified in the table below and in the specifications section of this manual.
Tire Pressure
Riding warms the tires and increases tire air pressure. For an accurate reading, check tire
pressure before riding. Adjust tire pressure as recommended for the total weight of your
intended load (see table).
WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum recommended inflation pressure to seat the bead. Tire or rim
failure may result.
Tire Condition
Inspect the tire sidewalls, road contact surface and tread base. If inspection reveals cuts,
punctures, cracks or other wear or damage, replace the tire before riding. Use only approved
replacement tires. See the VICTORY Service Manual or your authorized VICTORY dealer.
