OPERATION
Safety Precautions
This motorcycle was produced with the designated tires as origi-
nal equipment. The testing that was done to ensure stability
and superior handling included these tires. The use of other
tires may cause instability. Failure to use Victory original equip-
ment tires could result in poor motorcycle stability and handling,
which can lead to a crash and subsequent serious injury or
death. Use only the recommended tire at the recommended tire
pressure.
The use of tire valves and valve cores other than genuine Victo-
ry parts could cause tire deflation during extended driving. Al-
ways use genuine Victory parts or their equivalent for replace-
ment.
Be certain to tighten the valve caps securely. Not doing so may
lead to air pressure leakage during extended driving.
Never start your engine or let it run for any length of time in an
enclosed area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous and can
cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Al-
ways operate your motorcycle in an area with adequate ventila-
tion.
The motorcycle must not be ridden when the sidestand is down.
Be certain vehicle stand is up before riding the motorcycle. If
not, it could contact the road surface causing a momentary dis-
turbance which could cause loss of vehicle control.
