Safe Riding Practices The following design characteristics affect how you should ride the VICTORY motorcycle: S The motorcycle is designed for on-road use with one rider and one passenger. (See page 11). SAFETY S Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (see the specifications section, beginning on page 156, or the certification label on the steering head). Riding off-road, riding with more than one passenger, or carrying weight exceeding the maximum weight rating can make handling difficult, which could cause loss of control. S In the first 500 miles, operate the motorcycle according to the break-in procedures described on page 62. Operating the motorcycle without following break-in procedures can result in serious engine damage. S Some VICTORY motorcycles include saddlebags, a windshield, and a passenger backrest as standard equipment. To maintain stability, be prepared to reduce the operating speed of motorcycles equipped with these items. 7
