Maintenance
Front Fork / Suspension Inspection
1. Place the motorcycle on the sidestand and inspect the
front forks. Make sure there is no fork oil present on the
outer fork tubes, around the fork seals or around the
inner tubes.
2. Clean the fork tubes to remove bugs, tar or buildup
which may cause seal wear or leakage.
3. Inspect the outer surfaces of the inner fork tubes for
scratches or damage from foreign objects.
4. Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright
position. Apply the front brake and push downward
(hard) on the handlebars several times. The front
suspension should operate smoothly and quietly.
5. Fork oil condition and level affects front suspension performance and internal compo-
nent wear. Replace fork oil at the recommended intervals. Special tools are required to
perform this procedure. See the VICTORY Service Manual or your authorized VICTORY
dealer.
