PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Check Tires
Tire Pressure
Normal riding warms the tires and increases the tire air pressure. For an accurate reading, check the tire pressure
before you ride. Adjust tire pressure as required for the total weight of your intended load. Refer to the tire pressure
table on page 116.
Tire Condition
Inspect the tire sidewalls, road contact surface, and tread base for cuts, punctures, and cracking. Replace damaged
tires immediately (see the
VICTORY Service Manual
or an authorized VICTORY dealer).
Tire Tread Depth
Raised areas at the base of the tread, known as wear bars, act as easily visible tread depth indicators. See page 117.
When the road contact surface has worn to the top of the wear bars, replace the tire.
