PRE-OPERATION CHECK

Check Engine Oil Level

A dipstick attached to the oil fill cap registers the engine oil level.

We recommend the use of only Victory brand Semi-Synthetic

20W-40 Motor Oil or equivalent.
1. With the transmission in neutral, start and run the engine for

several minutes.

2. Shut the engine off and wait for 3-5 minutes.
3. Straddle the motorcycle on level ground and bring it to a

vertical position. Remove the oil fill cap and wipe the dipstick

clean. Reinstall the dipstick and turn the cap clockwise until it

seats.

4. Remove the dipstick again and read the oil level.
5. If necessary, add or remove oil to bring the level into the area

on the dipstick above the ADD mark and below the FULL

mark. Repeat steps 1-2 each time you adjust the oil level.

Do not operate the motorcycle with the oil level above the FULL mark or below the ADD mark.
Operating the engine with too much or too little oil can cause serious engine damage or engine
seizure, resulting in loss of control.
