FINAL ASSEMBLY
1- Finish assembling the remainder of the engine following your factory Polaris® Victory® service manual for the specific motorcycle you’re
working on. S&S® recommends that a new oil filter be installed and new Victory 20W-40 motor oil filled to the proper level.
2- Once final assembly is complete the proper tuning must be completed before the engine can be broken in. S&S offers a limited number of
calibrations for S&S/Victory dealer downloading using S&S Freedom Performance Tuner. A list of calibrations available for S&S/Victory dealer
downloading can be viewed at www.ssdealer.com/victory/ under the S&S/Victory Calibrations tab. S&S/Victory dealer login required. If a
calibration download is not available for the specific combination that you’re running, an aftermarket tuning system must be used to correctly
adjust the fuel control system to correctly function with the newly installed parts.
ENGINE BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
Note: S&S components are designed for high performance use and are not tolerant to inadequate break-in. Correct break-in will ensure longer engine
life and will prevent unnecessary engine damage. Engine damage caused by improper break-in is not covered under the S&S Warranty.
1- Initial start up. Run the engine approximately one minute at 1250-1750rpm. DO NOT crack the throttle or subject the engine to any loads
during this period as head gaskets are susceptible to failure at this time. During this time check to see that oil pressure is normal and inspect
for leaks.
2- Shut off engine and inspect for leaks. Allow engine to cool to the touch.
3- Start up engine again and allow the engine to warm up for 3 to 4 minutes. DO NOT crack the throttle or subject the engine to any type of load.
Shut down the engine and allow to cool. Repeat this procedure at least 3 more times.
4- After the engine has cooled to room temperature you are ready to start the 500 mile engine break-in process. The first 50 miles are the most
critical for new rings and piston break-in. Avoid lugging the engine, riding in hot weather or in traffic. Vary the engine speed but do not exceed
2500 RPM. S&S recommends changing the oil and filter after the first 50 miles.
5- The next 500 miles should be spent varying RPM and running no faster than 3500 RPM or 60 MPH. Avoid lugging the engine and running
continuous steady speeds. S&S recommends changing the oil again at 500 miles.
6- For the balance of the first 1000 miles the engine can be run in a normal but conservative manner. You can be more liberal with the RPM range
and the motorcycle can be operated at normal highway speeds. Avoid overheating or putting any hard strain on the engine; no drag racing,
dyno runs, excessive speed, trailer towing or side car operation.
7- After 1000 miles S&S recommends changing the engine oil and filter. Now the motorcycle can be operated normally.
