MAINTENANCE

Brakes

Check Brake Pads

Look at the front brake caliper pads at (1), and at rear rear brake
caliper pads at (2). You should see at least 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of
friction material on each of the brake pads. If in doubt, measure
remaining friction material. Replace brake pads having less than the
specified amount of friction material at their thinnest point.

If the brake pads require replacement, see the Victory Service
Manual
or an authorized Victory dealer for assistance.

Check Brake Hoses and Connections

Inspect all brake hoses and connections for dampness or stains from
leaking or dried fluid. Tighten any leaking connections and replace
components as necessary.
