Pre-Operation Check

Check Sidestand

Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to a vertical position. Move

the sidestand to its stored (up) position, then to its fully extended

(down) position, and back again. It should move smoothly and

quietly. When the sidestand is in its stored position, the sidestand

return spring should hold the sidestand tightly against the

motorcycle.
Check the condition of the sidestand rubber pad, and make sure it

is firmly attached to the sidestand.

Check Fasteners

Visually inspect the entire motorcycle chassis and engine for loose, damaged, or missing fasteners. Tighten

loose fasteners to the proper torque (see the Specifications section of the Owner’s Manual, or the Victory

Service Manual). Replace stripped, damaged, or broken fasteners with genuine Victory fasteners of equal size

and strength immediately.
