Check Rear Brake Pedal Freeplay and Movement

Rear brake pedal freeplay -- the amount of brake pedal

movement from the rest position to the point of contacting the

master cylinder -- should be 3/16--5/16 inch (5--8 mm). Adjust

pedal freeplay as necessary (see page 95).
Press and release the rear brake pedal. It should move freely

and smoothly and should return to its rest position quickly

when you release it. You should feel a firm resistance in the

pedal within the first 3/4 inch (19 mm) of pedal travel.
If the brake pedal travels too far before beginning to engage the brake, see the Victory Service Manual, or

contact an authorized Victory dealer for service.

Adjust Rear Brake Pedal Freeplay

1. Loosen the brake linkage rod locknuts.
2. Turn the linkage rod in or out as necessary.
3. Tighten the linkage rod locknuts.
4. Check the brake pedal freeplay.
