Check or Replace Spark Plugs

The spark plugs must be removed from the engine to inspect

them. Spark plugs with bright white deposits, sooty black

deposits, or with damaged insulators or electrodes can indicate

engine problems. If these conditions exist, or if the condition of

one plug is markedly different from the other, see the Victory

Service Manual or an authorized Victory dealer for assistance.

1. Make sure the engine is at room temperature, and

remove the operator’s seat.

2. Remove the fuel tank.
3. Disconnect the spark plug wire by pulling upward on

the spark plug boot.

4. To prevent any debris from entering the engine through the spark plug hole, use pressurized air to

blow clean the area around each spark plug before removing it.

Wear face protection when using pressurized air.
