Engine Break-in Period Starting the Engine OPERATION The VICTORY motorcycle has a starter interlock system. The engine can be started only when the transmission is in neutral or when the transmission is in gear and the clutch is disengaged (clutch lever is pulled in). Follow these steps to start the motorcycle: 1. Perform the Pre-Operation Check as outlined beginning on page 47. If you're carrying cargo, inspect the cargo restraints for tightness. 2. Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch and turn the switch to the ON position (see page 35). 3. Mount the motorcycle and bring it to an upright position. Engage the front brake and place the sidestand in the stored (up) position. If the neutral indicator is not illuminated, shift the transmission to neutral (see Shifting Gears, page 67). 4. If the engine is cold (has not been run in a few hours) move the fast idle lever toward the rear of the motorcycle until the lever stops. 5. Set the engine stop/run switch to the RUN position. You should hear the fuel pump run momentarily as it pressurizes the fuel system. NOTE: If the motorcycle was run completely out of fuel, prime the system as instructed on page 64.
