PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
Tires
To ensure maximum performance, long service and safe operation, note the fol-
lowing:
Tire Air Pressure
Tire air pressure should be
checked and adjusted before
operating the motorcycle and
also when a passenger or lug-
gage is carried. Refer to the tire
pressure chart below to deter-
mine which tire pressures
should be used for different
loads and riding conditions.
Tire Inspection
A tire inspection should be per-
formed before operating the mo-
torcycle. If a tire tread shows
crosswise lines (minimum
thread depth), if the tire has a for-
eign object, or if the sidewall is
cracked, contact a Victory dealer
and have the tire replaced. Us-
ing a tread depth gauge (1),
measure the tread of the tires.
You should have at least 1/16″
(1.6 mm) of tread.
WARNING: It is danger-
ous to ride with a worn out tire.
When a tire has less than 1/16″
(1.6 mm) of tread, have a Victory
dealer replace the tire immedi-
ately. Brakes, tires, and related
wheel parts replacement should
be performed by a Victory Ser-
vice Technician.
NOTE: The Victory motorcycle is equipped with tubeless tires and cast wheels.
