Maintenance Rear Suspension Adjustment For riding comfort and to ensure proper ground clearShock Label ance, adjust rear shock air pressure as specified on the label located in the right saddlebag cover (reproduced below). Follow these guidelines when adjusting: • Park the motorcycle with the sidestand down on a firm, level surface. Remove all riders and cargo. • DO NOT exceed 72 PSI (496 kPa) in the shock. • Use the VICTORY Air Pump and Gauge (P/N 2876654). Follow the instructions on the following pages. If the VICTORY air pump and gauge are not available, use the gauge provided in the tool kit, and a pressurized air source with a maximum line pressure of 72 PSI (496 kPa). After using this gauge, remove it quickly to minimize leakage. Expect to lose about 4 PSI (27.6 kPa) with each pressure check when using this gauge. Use only a dry air source, such as a system with a water separator or air line dryer, to prevent moisture from entering the shock. CAUTION! Air pressure increases VERY quickly when using pressurized air. Wear eye and face protection.

Rear Suspension Adjustment
For riding comfort and to ensure proper ground clear-
ance, adjust rear shock air pressure as specified on the
label located in the right saddlebag cover (reproduced
below).
Follow these guidelines when adjusting:
Park the motorcycle with the sidestand down on a
firm, level surface. Remove all riders and cargo.
DO NOT exceed 72 PSI (496 kPa) in the shock.
Use the VICTORY Air Pump and Gauge (P/N
2876654). Follow the instructions on the following
pages.
If the VICTORY air pump and gauge are not available, use the gauge provided in the tool kit,
and a pressurized air source with a maximum line pressure of 72 PSI (496 kPa). After using
this gauge, remove it quickly to minimize leakage. Expect to lose about 4 PSI (27.6 kPa)
with each pressure check when using this gauge.
Use only a dry air source
, such as a system
with a water separator or air line dryer, to prevent moisture from entering the shock.
CAUTION!
Air pressure increases VERY quickly when using pressurized air. Wear eye and face
protection
