MAINTENANCE

Spark Plugs

The spark plugs must be removed from the engine to inspect them. Spark

plugs with bright white deposits, sooty black deposits, or with damaged

insulators or electrodes can indicate engine problems. If these conditions

exist, or if the condition of one plug is markedly different from the other,

see the VICTORY Service Manual or an authorized VICTORY dealer for

assistance.

1. Make sure the engine is at room temperature.

2. Disconnect the spark plug wire by pulling upward on the spark plug

boot. Don’t pull on the wire portion of the plug wire or you may

damage the wire.

3. To prevent any debris from entering the engine through the spark plug

hole, use pressurized air to blow the area around each spark plug clean

before removing it.

Wear face protection when using pressurized air.
