MAINTENANCE

Ride Height Adjustment

NOTE: If you are not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, have

this adjustment performed by an authorized Victory dealer.
To raise the ride height, use the following procedure.
1. With the motorcycle in an upright

position, secure the front wheel.

2. Remove seat (see page 21).
3. Using care to properly support the

frame, place a floor jack beneath the

engine and elevate the rear of the

motorcycle slightly (1/2″-1″) . This

will remove tension from the front

shock mounting bolt. Remove nut

and bolt.

4. Continue raising the rear of the bike

until mounting position is aligned

with upper clevis mounting position.

Reinstall the bolt and nut. Torque to

45 ft. lbs. (62 N-m).

5. Lower the motorcycle and reinstall seat.

Rear Wheel Alignment Inspection & Adjustment

NOTE: The swingarm has an indicator washer with reference marks to be used

for positioning the rear wheel. Before removing the wheel, note the relationship of

the reference marks on the washer and swingarm. When reinstalling the wheel,

reposition it to this location.

1. After replacing the wheel and

ensuring that the wheel alignment is

correct as noted above, tighten the

rear axle nut to 65 ft. lbs. and install a

new cotter key.

2. Tighten the wheel adjuster bolts

lightly.

3. Tighten the wheel adjuster lock

nuts.

4. Pump the rear brake pedal several

times until the pedal is firm.

5. If any work is performed on the rear

wheel, drive belt, or sprockets

(adjustment, alignment, etc.) by

anyone other than an authorized Victory dealer, the vehicle should be

returned to a Victory dealer as soon as possible for inspection.
