Front Suspension and Steering

Check Front Forks

1. To check the front suspension, straddle the motorcycle

and bring it to a vertical position.

2. Apply the front brake and push down hard on the

handlebars several times. The front suspension should

operate smoothly and quietly.

3. Place the motorcycle on the sidestand and inspect the

front forks. Make sure there is no fork oil present on

the fork tube or around the fork seal.

Replace Front Fork Oil

Front fork oil condition and level is associated with front

suspension performance and internal component wear. For fork

oil replacement procedures and special tools required, see the

Victory Service Manual or contact an authorized Victory dealer.
