Check Steering
Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to a vertical position. Turn the handlebars from stop to stop. The action
should be smooth but not loose or interfered with by wires, hoses, or control cables.
Check Rear Suspension
Proper rear suspension adjustment is essential for a safe and comfortable ride. Check the rear shock absorber
movement and preload to insure the motorcycle has the correct amount of suspension travel and ground
clearance (see page 82).
Inadequate ground clearance could allow components to come into contact with the ground,
causing you to lose control of the motorcycle.
WARNING
Check Drive Belt
The drive belt should fit tightly.
Replace the drive belt if it is cracked or has broken teeth or frayed edges (consult your Victory Service
Manual or an authorized Victory dealer).
