MAINTENANCE

Brakes

Adjust Rear Brake Pedal

Press and release the rear brake pedal. It should move freely and

smoothly and should return to its rest position quickly when you

release it. You should feel a firm resistance in the pedal within the

first 3/8 inch (8 mm) of pedal travel.
If the brake pedal travels too far before beginning to engage the

brake, see the VICTORY Service Manual, or contact an authorized

VICTORY dealer for service.
The brake pedal should be adjusted so that in the relaxed position,

with the master cylinder piston positioned against internal stop, there

is a 2-5 mm gap between the brake pedal stop and the foot peg

mount. Make brake pedal adjustments as necessary.

1. Loosen the brake linkage rod locknut (1).
2. Turn the linkage rod in or out as necessary.
3. Tighten the linkage rod locknut.
4. Check the brake pedal adjustment.
