Pre-Operation Check To keep your Victory motorcycle in good working order, make the checks described in this section before each ride. This is especially important before you make a long trip or when you remove the motorcycle from storage. You must be familiar with the Victory motorcycle instruments and controls to make these checks. You can find additional service information in the Maintenance section of the Owner's Manual, in the Victory Service Manual, or from an authorized Victory dealer. During the pre-operation check you might use products that are potentially hazardous, such as oil or brake fluid. When using any of these products, follow the instructions and warnings on the product packaging. WARNING Failure to perform these checks before you ride may result in serious injury or damage. Adjust components designed for normal wear adjustment, and repair or replace worn or damaged components, as necessary. Check Electrical Equipment To perform a pre-operation check on the electrical equipment, set the ignition switch to the On position. Set the ignition switch to the Off position once you have completed the electrical equipment portion of the pre-operation check. Instrument Cluster The low fuel indicator and the neutral indicator should illuminate momentarily. The multi-function display (MFD) should be in odometer mode. The low oil pressure indicator should illuminate. If the transmission is in neutral, the neutral indicator should remain illuminated. 45
