Pre-Ride Inspections Brake Lines Inspect all brake hoses and connections for dampness or stains from leaking or dried fluid. Tighten any leaking connections and replace components as necessary. Tip: Refer to the service manual or contact your dealer for fastener torque values. WARNING! Brake fluid leaks or low brake fluid levels could cause brake system failure, which could result in serious injury or death. Do not operate the vehicle with low brake fluid levels or when leaks are evident (dampness or stains from dried fluid). See your VICTORY dealer for service. Brake Pads Inspect each front brake pad on both sides of the front disc. Inspect each rear brake pad on both sides of the rear disc. When the thinnest point of the friction material has worn to the minimum recommended thickness, see your VICTORY dealer for brake pad replacement. • Replace brake pads when friction material thickness reaches 1.0 mm. When checking brake pad friction material thickness, check each brake caliper for dampness or stains from leaking or dried brake fluid. If inspection reveals signs of fluid leakage, do not operate the vehicle. See your VICTORY dealer for service. See page 78 for brake disc inspection. Friction Material Front Minimum: 1.0 mm Rear Throttle Rotate the throttle control grip. It should rotate smoothly from the rest position to the completely open position. It should return to the rest position quickly when released. Throttle Freeplay Throttle freeplay is the amount of throttle control grip movement from the rest position to the point of cable resistance. Measure this distance. Freeplay should be 2-4 mm. Adjust throttle freeplay as needed. See page 72. 2-4 mm to resistance 43
