MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance
Periodic inspection, adjustment, and lubrication will keep your mo-
torcycle in the safest and most efficient condition possible. Some
important points of motorcycle inspection, adjustment, and lu-
brication are explained in the following pages.
Proper periodic maintenance of your motorcycle is important in or-
der to enjoy long, pleasurable service. Especially important are
the maintenance services related to emissions control.
These controls not only function to ensure cleaner air but are also
vital to proper engine operation and maximum performance. In the
following tables of periodic maintenance, the services related to
emissions control are grouped separately.
These services require specialized data, knowledge and equip-
ment. Victory dealers are trained and equipped to perform these
particular services.
The limited information concerning periodic maintenance is in-
tended to assist you in completing some of your own preventive
maintenance and minor repairs.
If you are not experienced in motorcycle service, this work
should be done by a qualified Victory dealer.
Accidents causing serious injury or death can result if service
is performed by an inexperienced mechanic.
Modifications to this motorcycle not approved by Victory may
cause loss of performance, excessive emissions, reduce reli-
ability, and make the machine unsafe for use. Consult a Victo-
ry dealer before making any changes.
