Starting the Engine 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 50. 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 39). 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 73). 71
