PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
Front and Rear Brakes
Before riding, check the levels of the brake fluid and add if neces-
sary.
Low brake fluid levels may let air enter the brake system, possibly
creating poor or non-existent braking leading to an accident caus-
ing serious injury or death. Turn to page 54 for more information
on adding brake fluid..
Do not operate the motorcycle if the brakes have a soft or spongy
feeling when applied. This could be indicating a hazardous condi-
tion that should be repaired by your Victory dealer immediately.
Make certain both the front brakes and rear brakes are working
properly. Test them at low speed shortly after starting out. Refer to
page 17 for component locations.
Operating your motorcycle with inadequate or faulty brakes
could cause an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
