Front Fork Inspection 1. Place the motorcycle on the sidestand and inspect the front forks. Make sure there is no fork oil present on the outer fork tubes, around the fork seals or around the inner tubes. 2. Clean the fork tubes to remove bugs, tar or buildup which may cause seal wear or leakage. 3. Inspect the outer surfaces of the inner fork tubes for scratches or damage from foreign objects. 4. Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright position. Apply the front brake and push downward (hard) on the handlebars several times. The front suspension should operate smoothly and quietly. 5. Fork oil condition and level affects front suspension performance and internal component wear. Replace fork oil at the recommended intervals. Special tools are required to perform this procedure. See the VICTORY Service Manual or your authorized VICTORY dealer.
