Pre-Ride Inspections Brake Pads Inspect each front brake pad on both sides of the front disc. Inspect each rear brake pad on both sides of the rear disc. When the thinnest point of the friction material has worn to the minimum recommended thickness, see your VICTORY dealer for brake pad replacement. Replace brake pads when friction material thickness reaches 1.0 mm. When checking brake pad friction material thickness, check each brake caliper for dampness or stains from leaking or dried brake fluid. If inspection reveals signs of fluid leakage, do not operate the vehicle. See your VICTORY dealer for service. See page 77 for brake disc inspection. Friction Material Front Minimum: 1.0 mm Rear Throttle Rotate the throttle control grip. It should rotate smoothly from the rest position to the completely open position. It should return to the rest position quickly when released. Throttle Freeplay Throttle freeplay is the amount of throttle control 2-4 mm to grip movement from the rest position to the point of resistance cable resistance. Measure this distance. Freeplay should be 2-4 mm. Adjust throttle freeplay as needed. See page 72. Mechanical Clutch 1. Squeeze the clutch lever toward the handlebar and release it. It should move freely and smoothly, and it should return to the rest position quickly when released. If the lever fails to perform as stated, service the clutch lever before riding. Lever 2. Freeplay (gap) is the amount of lever movement Clutch Housing Lever from the rest position to the point of cable resis0.5-1.5 mm tance. Clutch lever freeplay should be 0.5-1.5 Freeplay mm. Measure the gap between the clutch lever and the lever housing. Adjust clutch lever freeplay if necessary. See page 73. Tip: The starter interlock switch is dependent on the clutch lever freeplay being set correctly to ensure activation of the clutch safety switch. 43
