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.

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

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

spark plug before removing it.

Wear face protection when using pressurized air.
