PRE-OPERATION CHECK

Brakes

Front Brake Lever Movement

Squeeze the front brake lever toward the handlebar

and release it. It should move freely and smoothly

and should return to its rest position quickly when

released. You should feel a firm resistance in the

lever within the first 3/4-inch (19 mm) of lever

travel.
If the brake lever travels too far before beginning to

engage the brake, see the VICTORY Service Manual,

or contact an authorized VICTORY dealer for

service.

Front Brake Fluid Level

1. Position the motorcycle on level ground with the front wheel straight forward. Do not use the side stand.

Position the handlebars so that the brake fluid reservoir is level.

2. View the brake fluid through the sight glass. The fluid should be clear and at a level in or above the sight glass.

Add brake fluid if necessary. See page 112.
