Maintenance Brake Hoses / Connections Inspect all brake hoses and connections for dampness or stains from leaking or dried fluid. Tighten any leaking connections and replace components as necessary. See the VICTORY Service Manual or your authorized VICTORY dealer. 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. Wheel Inspection 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. Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Tone Ring/Sensor Inspection 1. Visually inspect for damaged teeth on the front and rear ABS tone rings. Inspect for nicks and dents on the face of the teeth. The teeth edges should be consistent in appearance. If a tone ring is damaged, see your VICTORY dealer for replacement as soon as possible. 2. Inspect for debris adhering to the end of the wheel speed sensors. If contamination is observed, or if you are unable to visually inspect, slide a thin towel across the face of the sensor between the sensor and the tone ring to remove any potential debris.
