Brakes

Check Front Brake Lever Movement

Squeeze the front brake lever toward the handlebar and release it. It

should move freely and smoothly and should return to its rest position

quickly when released. You should feel a firm resistance in the lever

within the first 3/4-inch (19 mm) of lever travel.
If the brake lever travels too far before beginning to engage the brake,

see the VICTORY Service Manual, or contact an authorized VICTORY

dealer for service.

2. Remove any old grease and dirt from the brake lever and lever housing.
