To ensure maximum performance, long service and safe operation, note the fol-
lowing:
Tire Air Pressure
D Should be checked and ad-
justed before operating the
motorcycle and also when a
passenger or luggage is car-
ried. Refer to the tire pressure
chart on the following page to
determine what tire pressures
should be used for different
loads and riding conditions.
Tire Inspection
D Should be performed before
operating the motorcycle. If a
tire tread shows crosswise
lines (minimum thread depth),
if the tire has a foreign object,
or if the sidewall is cracked,
contact a Victory dealer and
have the tire replaced. Using
a tread depth gauge (1), mea-
sure the tread of the tires. You
should have at least 1/16″
(1.6 mm) of tread.
WARNING: It is danger-
ous to ride with a worn out tire.
When a tire has less than 1/16″
(1.6 mm) of tread, have a Victory
dealer replace the tire immedi-
ately. Brakes, tires, and related
wheel parts replacement should
be performed by a Victory Ser-
vice Technician.
NOTE: The Victory motorcycle is equipped with tube tires and laced wheels.
