Periodic Maintenance
Failure to perform safety maintenance as recommended can result in difficult handling and
loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death. Always perform the safety
maintenance procedures as recommended. Perform maintenance and repairs promptly
as outlined in the VICTORY service manual, or see your authorized VICTORY dealer for
service.
• Before each ride, complete a pre-ride check as outlined beginning on page 85.
• Perform periodic maintenance according to the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Interval tables beginning on page 133.
• Maintain proper tire pressure and tread condition and proper wheel and tire balance.
Inspect tires regularly and replace them if they’re worn or damaged. Use only an
approved replacement tire and see the VICTORY service manual or your authorized
VICTORY dealer for tire replacement.
• Check proper steering head bearing adjustment. Regularly inspect the rear shock
absorber and the front forks. Check for fork oil or shock absorber fluid leaks. Operating
the motorcycle with a loose, worn, or damaged steering system or front or rear
suspension system can make the motorcycle hard to handle and cause loss of control.
