Maintenance Tires Tire Tread Depth The raised areas at the base of the tread are wear bars. When the road contact surface has worn to the top of the wear bars, replace the tire. For more precise measurement, and for tires not equipped with wear bars, use a depth gauge or an accurate ruler to measure the depth of the center tire tread. Replace the tire if the tread depth is less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm). Wheel Spokes Inspect both wheels for loose, bent, broken or missing spokes (if equipped). To identify loose spokes, grasp each spoke and try to move it side to side or up and down. All spokes should be equally tight and have the same amount of flex. Tighten loose spokes and replace bent, broken or missing spokes (see an authorized VICTORY dealer). WARNING! Spokes adjusted or replaced improperly could distort the wheel, make the motorcycle difficult to handle, and cause loss of control. Wheels Inspect both wheels for cracks or damage and replace damaged wheels promptly. Do not operate the motorcycle if wheels are damaged or cracked. See the VICTORY Service Manual or your authorized VICTORY dealer. Exhaust System Check the exhaust system for stains from leaking exhaust gasses. Replace damaged or leaking exhaust gaskets. See the VICTORY Service Manual or your authorized VICTORY dealer. Check all exhaust system fasteners. 1. Tighten exhaust header flange nuts. Torque: 12 ft-lbs (16 Nm) 2.

Maintenance
Tires
Tire Tread Depth
The raised areas at the base of the tread are wear bars. When the road
contact surface has worn to the top of the wear bars, replace the tire. For
more precise measurement, and for tires not equipped with wear bars, use
a depth gauge or an accurate ruler to measure the depth of the center tire
tread. Replace the tire if the tread depth is less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm).
Wheel Spokes
Inspect both wheels for loose, bent, broken or missing spokes (if
equipped). To identify loose spokes, grasp each spoke and try to move
it side to side or up and down. All spokes should be equally tight and
have the same amount of flex. Tighten loose spokes and replace bent,
broken or missing spokes (see an authorized VICTORY dealer).
WARNING!
Spokes adjusted or replaced improperly could distort the wheel,
make the motorcycle difficult to handle, and cause loss of control.
Wheels
Inspect both wheels for cracks or damage and replace damaged wheels promptly. Do not
operate the motorcycle if wheels are damaged or cracked. See the
