MAINTENANCE
Brakes
Check Brake Pads
Look at the front brake caliper pads at (1), and at rear rear brake
caliper pads at (2). You should see at least 1/16 inch (1.6 mm)
of friction material on each of the brake pads. If in doubt,
measure remaining friction material. Replace brake pads having
less than the specified amount of friction material at their
thinnest point.
If the brake pads require replacement, see the VICTORY Service
Manual or an authorized VICTORY dealer for assistance.
Check Brake Disc
Visually inspect the brake disc for nicks, scratches, cracks, or
other damage. Inspect the thickness of each brake disc in at least
four points around the disc. Minimum thickness is stamped on the
inner hub of the disc. If the front or rear disc has worn to the
minimum thickness at the thinnest point, or if the disc is damaged,
contact your VICTORY dealer for replacement.
Check Brake Hoses and Connections
Inspect all brake hoses and connections for dampness or stains from
leaking or dried fluid. Tighten any leaking connections and replace
components as necessary.
