Break-In Maintenance
Have your VICTORY dealer perform the break-in maintenance procedures when the
motorcycle’s odometer registers 500 miles (800 km). Performing the break-in maintenance
will help ensure optimum engine performance for the entire service life of the engine. Your
dealer will change engine oil, inspect all fluids and serviceable components, ensure that all
fasteners are tightened and make other adjustments as needed.
Major Maintenance

require technical skills and specially designed tools. Emission system service requires
special tools and training and should be performed by your dealer.

need for replacement parts, use genuine VICTORY parts available from your VICTORY
dealer. Record service and maintenance information in the Maintenance Log beginning on
page 54.
