Brakes MAINTENANCE Brake Pads Inspect front (1) and rear (2) brake pad thickness. Replace brake pads when wear lines (3) are no longer visible, or when pad thickness reaches 1.5 mm. The shielded pad must be installed on the non-piston side of the caliper. If the brake pads require replacement, see the VICTORY Service Manual or an authorized VICTORY dealer for assistance. 1 2 Brake Disc Visually inspect the brake disc for nicks, scratches, cracks, or other damage. Inspect the thickness of each brake disc in at least four points around the disc. Minimum thickness is stamped on the inner hub of the disc. If the front or rear disc has worn to the minimum thickness at the thinnest point, or if the disc is damaged, contact your VICTORY dealer for replacement. 3 Brake Hoses and Connections Inspect all brake hoses and connections for dampness or stains from leaking or dried fluid. Tighten any leaking connections and replace components as necessary. Refer to the Victory Service Manual for torque values of fasteners or contact your Victory dealer. Replace pads if worn to less than 1.5 mm Disc Measuring Points 117
