Pre-Ride Inspections
Front Brake Fluid Level
1. Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright position. Position the handlebars so that the fluid reser-
voir is level.
2. View the fluid level through the sight glass. The fluid should be clear. Replace cloudy or contaminated fluid.
3. The fluid level should be at or above the top of the sight glass. Add fluid as needed. See page 103.
Rear Brake Pedal
Press and release the rear brake pedal. It should move freely and
smoothly, and it should return to its rest position quickly when
released. You should feel a firm resistance in the pedal within the
8 mm
first 3/8 inch (8 mm) of pedal travel. If the brake pedal fails to per-
form as stated or travels too far before beginning to engage the
brake, see the VICTORY Service Manual, or contact an authorized
VICTORY dealer for service.
