PRE-OPERATION CHECK

Check Tires

Tire Pressure

Normal riding warms the tires and increases the tire air pressure. For an accurate reading, check the tire pressure

before you ride. Adjust tire pressure as required for the total weight of your intended load. Refer to the tire pressure

table on page 114.

Tire Condition

Inspect the tire sidewalls, road contact surface, and tread base for cuts, punctures, and cracking. Replace damaged

tires immediately (see the VICTORY Service Manual PN 9918961 or an authorized VICTORY dealer).

Tire Tread Depth

Raised areas at the base of the tread, known as wear bars, act as easily visible tread depth indicators. See page 115.
When the road contact surface has worn to the top of the wear bars, replace the tire.
