PRE-OPERATION CHECK

Check Sidestand

Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to a vertical position. Move the

sidestand to its stored (up) position, then to its fully extended (down)

position and back again. It should move smoothly and quietly. When

the sidestand is in its stored position, the sidestand return spring

should hold the sidestand tightly against the motorcycle.
Check the condition of the sidestand rubber pad, and make sure it’s

firmly attached to the sidestand.

Check Fasteners

Visually inspect the entire motorcycle chassis and engine for loose,

damaged or missing fasteners. Tighten loose fasteners to the proper

torque (see the specifications section of this manual or see the

VICTORY Service Manual). Immediately replace stripped, damaged

or broken fasteners with genuine VICTORY fasteners of equal size

and strength immediately.
