MAINTENANCE
Brake System
WARNING: Be sure the brakes are working properly. A soft or spongy feel-
ing in the brake lever or pedal can indicate the presence of air in the brake system.
This air must be removed by bleeding the brake system before the motorcycle is
operated. Air in the system will cause greatly diminished braking capability and
can result in loss of control and an accident. Have a Victory dealer inspect and
bleed the brake system if necessary.
Brake Pedal Freeplay Adjustment
1. Measure pedal freeplay
travel as illustrated. The
freeplay measurement (A)
should be 5 - 8 mm when
light downward pressure is
applied to the pedal.
NOTE: No movement of
the master cylinder piston
should occur.
2. If the pedal freeplay is
outside of specification,
loosen the locking nuts and
turn the adjustment rod in
or out as necessary to
achieve the correct brake
pedal freeplay.
3. Tighten the lock nut and verify that the rear wheel rotates freely without drag or
binding.
