MAINTENANCE Brakes Check Brake Pads Look into the front brake caliper(s) from underneath, and into the rear brake caliper from behind, you should see at least 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of friction material on each of the brake pads. If in doubt, measure remaining friction material. Replace brake pads having less than the specified amount of friction material at their thinnest point. If the brake pads require replacement, see the VICTORY Service Manual or an authorized VICTORY dealer for assistance. 1 Check Brake Disc Visually inspect the brake disc for nicks, scratches, cracks, or other damage. Inspect the thickness of each brake disc in at least four points around the disc. Minimum thickness is stamped on the inner hub of the disc. If the front or rear disc has worn to the minimum thickness at the thinnest point, or if the disc is damaged, contact your VICTORY dealer for replacement. 1. Front Brake Pad Friction Material 2 2.
