Engine Oil Level The oil fill cap/dipstick is located on the right side of the vehicle. We recommend the use of only VICTORY brand SemiSynthetic 20W-40 Motor Oil or an equivalent oil designed for use with wet clutches (such as those with a JASO MA rating). NOTICE: Operating the engine with too much or too little oil can cause serious engine damage or engine seizure, which could result in loss of control and serious injury or death. Do not operate the motorcycle with the oil level above the FULL mark or below the ADD mark. Tip: The engine must be at normal operating temperature when checking the oil level. Pre-Ride Inspections 1. Place the transmission in neutral. Start the engine and Oil Fill allow it to idle for several minutes. Cap/Dipstick 2. Stop the engine and wait 3-5 minutes before checking the Safe Range oil level. 3. On level ground, straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright position. 4. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe it clean. Reinstall the dipstick and turn the cap clockwise until it seats. 5. Remove the dipstick and view the oil level. Add or remove oil as needed to bring the level into safe operating range (between the FULL and ADD marks) on the dipstick. 6. Repeat steps 1 and 2 each time you adjust the oil level. { 45
