Maintenance Engine Compression Check engine compression periodically to document engine wear and condition. For engine compression check procedures and special tools required, see the VICTORY Service Manual or contact an authorized VICTORY dealer. Air Filter Replace the air filter element at the intervals recommended in the periodic maintenance table. See page 46. Replace the element any time it becomes extremely dirty or contaminated. Tip: Inspect the air filter often if riding in unusually wet or dusty conditions. Element Access Cover 1. Remove the air filter access cover and air filter element using the universal tool (provided under the left side cover) or a #2 Phillips screwdriver. 2. To remove debris from the element, use low-pressure air and blow from the rear forward. CAUTION! Wear face protection when using pressurized air. 3. Do not apply air filter oil to the paper element. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the edge of the air filter element frame. 4. Reinstall the element and access cover. Do not over-tighten the access cover screws. Drive Belt Condition Replace the drive belt if it is cracked or has broken teeth or frayed edges. No matter its condition, the drive belt should be replaced at periodic intervals. See the VICTORY Service Manual or your authorized VICTORY dealer. DO NOT attempt to check belt tension if the belt has been exposed to rain or washing within a 24 hour period or if the belt is hot from riding. Allow the belt to cool down to ambient temperature before measuring belt tension. To obtain the maximum drive belt service life possible, VICTORY recommends the replacement of both sprockets as a set if the drive belt system has over 5,000 miles (8,000 km) of service at the time of damage or failure. Drive Belt Tension Inspection Checking drive belt tension involves using the belt tension gauge (P/N PV-43532). Before beginning this procedure: • Make sure the drive belt is dry and at room temperature. • Make sure the rear suspension is properly adjusted. See page 53.

dusty conditions.
1.
Remove the air filter access cover and air filter
element using the universal tool (provided
under the left side cover) or a #2 Phillips screw-
driver.
2.
To remove debris from the element, use low-pressure air and blow from the rear forward.
CAUTION!
Wear face protection when using pressurized air.
3.
