dlebar
Check the brake fluid in both the
front master cylinder reservoir
(2) and the rear brake fluid reser-
voir (4).
Brake fluid must be visible in the
window (3) on the front master
cylinder reservoir. To check the
level, rest the bike on the side-
stand and turn the handlebars
until the master cylinder is level.
To check the rear brake fluid,
stand the bike up in the vertical
position. Check the level be-
tween the max and min lines on
reservoir.
Apply each brake for several
seconds. Check to see if any
fluid leaks out from the hoses,
joints, master cylinders or cali-
pers. If any leakage is found,
take the motorcycle to a Victory
dealer for repairs. Do not oper-
ate the vehicle if leaks are pres-
ent. (rear brake - 4)
Do Not Mix Fluids. Use only DOT4 brake fluid.
