PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Rear Suspension
Proper rear suspension adjustment is essential for a safe and comfortable ride. Check the rear shock absorber
movement and preload to ensure that the motorcycle has the correct amount of suspension travel and ground
clearance (see page 94).
Inadequate ground clearance could allow components to come into contact with the ground, causing loss
of control.
WARNING
Drive Belt
The drive belt should fit tightly. See Drive Belt Tension beginning on page 86. The drive belt system must be cool,
clean, and dry in order to accurately measure belt tension (deflection). Do not measure the belt tension when the
belt or drive system is wet, or when it is hot (such as immediately after riding).
Replace the drive belt if it is cracked or has broken teeth or frayed edges (consult your
VICTORY Service Manual
or
an authorized VICTORY dealer).
