Brakes

Check Front Brake Lever Movement

Squeeze the front brake lever toward the handlebar and release

it. It should move freely and smoothly and should return to its

rest position quickly when released. You should feel a firm

resistance in the lever within the first 3/4--inch (19 mm) of

lever travel.
If the brake lever travels too far before beginning to engage the

brake, see the Victory Service Manual, or contact an authorized Victory dealer for service.
