PRE-OPERATION CHECK

Check Rear Suspension

Proper rear suspension adjustment is essential for a safe and comfortable ride. Check the rear shock absorber

movement and preload to ensure that the motorcycle has the correct amount of suspension travel and ground

clearance (see page 92).

Inadequate ground clearance could allow components to come into contact with the ground,
causing loss of control.

WARNING

Check Drive Belt

The drive belt should fit tightly. Check drive belt tension (see pages 86-87).
Replace the drive belt if it is cracked or has broken teeth or frayed edges (consult your VICTORY Service Manual or

an authorized VICTORY dealer).
