Tires

To ensure maximum performance, long service and safe operation, note the fol-

lowing:

Tire Air Pressure

Should be checked and ad-

justed before operating the

motorcycle and also when a

passenger or luggage is car-

ried. Refer to the tire pressure

chart on the following page to

determine what tire pressures

should be used for different

loads and riding conditions.

Tire Inspection

Should be performed before

operating the motorcycle. If a

tire tread shows crosswise

lines (minimum thread depth),

if the tire has a foreign object,

or if the sidewall is cracked,

contact a Victory dealer and

have the tire replaced. Using

a tread depth gauge (1), mea-

sure 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 tube tires and laced wheels.
