Pre-Ride Inspections Front Suspension Inspect the front forks for oil leaks or damage, and verify smooth suspension operation. See page 70. Steering 1. On level ground, straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright position. Turn the handlebars from stop to stop. The action should be smooth, but not loose. 2. Make sure wires, hoses and control cables do not interfere with smooth steering. Rear Suspension 1. Check rear shock absorber movement and air pressure to ensure the correct amount of suspension travel and ground clearance. 2. For air pressure adjustment information, see page 68 or refer to the suspension air pressure label located in the left saddlebag. WARNING! Inadequate ground clearance could result in components contacting the ground, causing loss of control and serious injury or death. Always ensure ground clearance is at specification. Drive Belt 1. Check drive belt tension. See page 65. The drive belt should fit tightly. Tip: The drive belt system must be cool, clean and dry to accurately measure belt tension (deflection). Do not measure belt tension when the belt or drive system is wet, or when it is hot (such as immediately after riding). 2. Check the drive belt teeth for stones or other debris. 3. Inspect drive belt condition. If you discover cracks, broken teeth or frayed edges, replace the drive belt before riding. See the VICTORY Service Manual or an authorized VICTORY dealer. Drive Belt 47
