SERVICE RULES
In order to perform service work efficiently and prevent costly errors, technicians should read the text in this manual
and familiarize themselves with the procedures before beginning. Photographs and illustrations have been
included with text as an aid. Notes, Cautions and Warnings have also been included for clarification of text and
safety concerns. Knowledge of mechanical theory, tool use and shop procedures are necessary to perform some
procedures in this manual safely and correctly.
Use only genuine Victory service parts.
Cleanliness of parts and tools as well as the work area is of primary importance. Dirt and foreign matter will act
as an abrasive and cause damage to precision parts. Clean the motorcycle before beginning service. Clean all
parts before installing.
If difficulty is encountered in removing or installing a component, look to see if a cause for the difficulty can be
found. If it is necessary to tap the part into place, use a soft face hammer and tap lightly.
Always follow torque specifications as outlined throughout this manual. Incorrect torquing may lead to serious
machine damage or in the case of steering, driveline, and chassis components, can result in loss of control during
operation of the motorcycle, resulting in injury or death.
If a torquing sequence is indicated for nuts, bolts or screws of a certain component, start all fasteners in their
holes and hand tighten. Following the method and sequence indicated, tighten evenly to the specified torque value.
When removing nuts, bolts or screws from a component with several fasteners, loosen them all about 1/4 turn
before removing them to prevent distortion of that component.
If the condition of any gasket or o-ring is in question, replace it with a new one. Be sure the mating surfaces for
the gasket are clean and smooth to avoid leaks and maintain specified tolerances.
Some procedures require removal of retaining rings or clips. Removal can weaken and deform these parts,
therefore, they should always be replaced with new parts. When installing new retaining rings and clips, use care
not to expand or compress them beyond what is required for installation.
Because removal damages seals, always replace with new seals during a repair.
Victory lubricants and greases have been specially formulated to provide maximum performance and
protection when applied properly. In some applications, warranty coverage may be void if improper lubricants are
used.
Parts requiring grease should be cleaned thoroughly and fresh grease applied before reassembly.
Deteriorating grease loses lubricity and may contain abrasive foreign matter.
WARNING
Working with Batteries
S When removing or installing batteries, care should be taken to avoid the possibility of explosion
resulting in serious burns. Remove battery from the motorcycle before charging. Keep battery away
from the source of any combustion (sparks, fire, etc..) when charging.
S Always disconnect the negative (black) cable first and reconnect it last.
S Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid and is poisonous! Serious burns can result from contact with
skin, eyes or clothing.
S IN THE EVENT OF CONTACT WITH SULFURIC ACID: External - Flush with water. Internal - Drink
large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Call for
medical attention immediately.
S Eyes - Flush with water for 15 minutes and call for medical attention immediately.

BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
There is never a more important period in the life of a new Victory motorcycle than the period between zero and
500 miles (805 km). A Victory motorcycle is manufactured using the best possible materials and manufacturing
techniques, but the final machining process is the break-in. During break-in period, many parts in the engine wear
and polish to correct operating clearances. During this time, the operator should:
S Avoid prolonged full throttle operation.
S Avoid operation which might result in excessive heating of the engine.
The general break-in guidelines are as follows:
BREAK-IN GUIDELINES
Miles/km Throttle
Position
Notes
0-90 miles 0-1/3 Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3 throttle. Stop engine and let it cool following every hour
of operation. Vary speed of motorcycle. Do not operate machine at one set throttle position.
90-300 miles 0-1/2 Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2 throttle. Stop engine and let it cool following every hour
of operation. Vary speed of the motorcycle. Do not operate machine at one set throttle posi-
tion.
300-500 miles 0-3/4 Avoid cruising speeds above 3/4 throttle.
500 miles Replace the engine oil and engine oil filter . Have Victory dealer perform 500 mile service on the ma-
chine. See chapter 2 for more information.
500 + Avoid prolonged full-throttle operation. Vary the engine speed occasionally. Follow the pre-ride inspec-
tion outlined in the owner’s manual.
