GENERAL INFORMATION 1.3 1 GENERAL INFORMATION TRADEMARKS Victory acknowledges the following products mentioned in this manual: FLEXLOC, Registered Trademark of SPS Technologies Loctite, Registered Trademark of the Loctite Corporation STA-BIL, Registered Trademark of Gold Eagle Nyogel, Trademark of Wm. F. Nye Co. Fluke, Registered Trademark of John Fluke Mfg. Co. Mity Vac, Registered Trademark of Neward Enterprises, Inc. Torx, Registered Trademark of Textron 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. Notes, Cautions and Warnings have 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, including fasteners that require replacement if removed. Do NOT substitute fasteners or hardware. Cleanliness of parts and tools as well as the work area is of primary importance. Dirt and foreign matter will 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, which may result in severe personal injury or death. If a torquing sequence is indicated for nuts, bolts or screws of a certain component, start all fasteners 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. Replace all oil seals, sealing washers, gaskets, and O-rings with new ones during assembly. 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. 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. Always replace locking hardware such as lock nuts or lock washers, fasteners that have pre-applied locking agent, or any other fasteners as noted in this service manual with genuine Victory hardware from an authorized Victory dealer. Working with batteries can be hazardous. Review all battery warnings and cautions. See “BATTERY SAFETY” on page 16.2.
