Periodic Maintenance Maintenance Always position the motorcycle on a firm level surface before performing service. Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, use genuine VICTORY parts available from your VICTORY dealer. Record service and maintenance information in the Maintenance Record beginning on page 156. Perform maintenance at the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance table beginning on page 72. Perform the procedures more frequently if normal use of the motorcycle includes: • high speed operation for extended periods • low speed operation for extended periods • operation in dusty or otherwise adverse conditions Before beginning any maintenance procedure, read the instructions for the entire procedure. During some procedures you may use potentially hazardous products such as oil or brake fluid. Always follow the instructions and warnings on the product packaging. WARNING! Improperly installed or adjusted components can make the motorcycle unstable or hard to handle. Improperly installed electrical components can cause engine or electrical system failure. In either event, damage or serious injury could result. If you do not have the time, tools and expertise necessary to complete a procedure properly, please see your dealer for service. Road Tests Before returning the motorcycle to regular use after performing service, road test it in a safe environment. Pay special attention to the proper fit and operation of all serviced components. Make any corrections or additional adjustments necessary to ensure safe vehicle performance. 71
