Safety
WARNING
Safe Riding Practices
Improper use of this motorcycle can result in serious injury or death to you, your passenger and others.
To minimize the risk of injury, read and understand the information contained in this section before
operating the motorcycle. This section contains safety information specific to the VICTORY motorcycle,
as well as information about general motorcycle safety. Anyone who rides the motorcycle (operators
and passengers) must follow these safety precautions.
Motorcycling has inherent risks.
You can minimize those risks, but you can't eliminate them completely. Even if you're an
experienced motorcycle operator or passenger, read all of the safety information in this
manual before operating the motorcycle.
• T ake a rider education course from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation or another qualified
instructor. The course will help you develop or refresh your expertise in safe riding habits
through instruction and riding. For information on Motorcycle Safety Foundation rider
education courses in your area, call 1-800-446-9227 or visit their web site at www.msfusa.org.
• Read and understand all information in this rider’s manual.
• Observe all maintenance requirements specified in this manual. For assistance, see the
VICTORY Service Manual or your authorized VICTORY dealer.
Design characteristics affect how you should ride the VICTORY motorcycle:
• The motorcycle is designed for on-road use with one rider and one passenger. See the
manufacturer’s label (on the left side of the frame at the steering head). The label contains
the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) information. Never exceed the GVWR or the GAWR.
• Riding off-road, riding with more than one passenger, or carrying weight exceeding the
maximum weight rating can make handling difficult, which could cause loss of control.
• During the first 500 miles (800 km) of operation, follow all break-in procedures as
outlined in the break-in section beginning on page 42. Failure to do so can result in serious
engine damage.
• Some VICTORY motorcycles include saddlebags, a windshield, a trunk, luggage racks or
a passenger backrest as standard equipment. To maintain stability, be prepared to reduce
the operating speed of motorcycles equipped with these items.
8
Safety
Safe Riding Practices
Follow these general safe riding practices:
• Before each ride, perform the pre-ride inspections as outlined beginning on page 34.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the motorcycle or an accident.
• Until you're thoroughly familiar with the motorcycle and all of its controls, practice riding
where there is little or no traffic. Practice riding at a moderate speed on various road
surfaces and in different weather conditions.
• Know your skills and limits, and ride within them.
• Allow only licensed, experienced operators to ride your motorcycle, and then only after
they have become familiar with its controls and operation. Make sure all riders read and
understand this rider’s manual before riding.
• Do not ride when you're fatigued, ill or under the influence of alcohol, prescription drugs,
over-the-counter drugs or any other drugs. Fatigue, illness, alcohol and drugs can cause
drowsiness, loss of coordination and loss of balance. They can also affect your awareness
and judgment.
• If your motorcycle operates abnormally, correct the problem immediately. See the
VICTORY Service Manual or an authorized VICTORY dealer.
• Ride defensively, as if you are invisible to other motorists, even in broad daylight. A
motorist's failure to see or recognize a motorcycle is the leading cause of automobile/
motorcycle accidents . Ride where you're clearly visible to other motorists, and observe
their behavior carefully.
• Be especially cautious at intersections, as these are the most likely places for an accident.
• To prevent loss of control, keep your hands on the handlebars and your feet on the
footrests.
• Be aware that the highway bar is not designed to protect the rider from injury in a
collision.
• Do not move or operate the motorcycle with the steering locked (if equipped), as the
severely restricted steering could result in loss of control.
• Obey the speed limit and adjust your speed and riding technique based on road, weather
and traffic conditions. As you travel faster, the influence of all other conditions increases,
which can affect the motorcycle's stability and increase the possibility of losing control.
9
Safety
Safe Riding Practices
• Reduce speed when:
• the road has potholes, or is otherwise rough or uneven.
• the road contains sand, dirt, gravel or other loose substances.
• the road is wet, icy or oily.
• the road contains painted surfaces, manhole covers, metal grating, railway crossings or other
slippery surfaces.
• The weather is windy, rainy or otherwise causing slippery or rapidly changing conditions.
• Traffic is heavy, congested, not allowing sufficient space between vehicles or otherwise not flowing smoothly.
• You are being passed in either direction by a large vehicle that may produce a wind blast in its
wake.
• T o maximize braking effectiveness, use the fr ont and r ear brakes together. Be aware of the
following braking facts and practices:
• The rear brake provides 40% of the motorcycle's stopping power, at most. Use the front and rear
brakes together.
• T o avoid skidding, apply the brakes gradually when the road is wet or rough, or contains loose or
other slippery substances.
• If possible, avoid applying the brakes while making a turn. Motorcycle tires have less traction
during turns, so braking will increase the possibility of skidding. Bring the motorcycle to the
upright position before applying the brakes.
• When approaching a curve, choose a speed and lean angle that allows you to pass through
the curve in your own lane without applying the brakes. Excessive speed, improper lean
angle or braking in a curve can cause loss of control.
• Ground clearance is reduced when the motorcycle leans. Do not allow components to
contact the road surface when leaning the motorcycle in a curve, as this could cause loss of
control.
• Retract the sidestand fully before riding. If the sidestand is not fully retracted, it could
contact the road surface and cause loss of control.
• Do not tow a trailer. Towing a trailer can make the motorcycle hard to handle.
Anti-Lock Brake System Response
• When the anti-lock brakes engage during a braking event, the rider will feel pulsing at the
brake levers. Continue to apply steady pressure to the brakes for the best stopping
performance.
10
Safety
Safe Riding Practices
Carrying a Passenger
Do not carry a passenger unless the motorcycle is equipped with passenger seat and
passenger footrests.
To carry a passenger safely:
• Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your motorcycle. See the
manufacturer’s label (on the left side of the frame at the steering head).
• Direct the passenger to hold onto you or to the passenger hand grips with both hands and
to keep both feet on the passenger footrests. Do not carry a passenger who cannot place
both feet firmly on the passenger footrests. A passenger who is not holding on properly, or
who cannot reach the passenger footrests, can shift their body erratically, which can make
the motorcycle hard to handle and cause loss of control.
• To obtain the best ride and handling characteristics, adjust the rear shock absorber air
pressure. See page 64.
• Before riding, be sure your passenger knows safe riding procedures. Discuss any safety
information unfamiliar to your passenger. A passenger who is unaware of safe riding
procedures may distract you or make movements that make the motorcycle hard to handle.
• Adjust your riding style to compensate for the differences in handling, acceleration and
braking caused by the additional weight of the passenger. Failure to do so can cause loss of
control.
Protective Apparel
Wear protective apparel to decrease the risk of injury and increase riding comfort.
• Always wear a helmet that meets or exceeds established safety standards. Approved
helmets in the USA and Canada bear a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) label.
Laws in some areas require that you wear an approved helmet. Head injuries are the
leading cause of fatalities in accidents involving motorcycles. Statistics prove that an
approved helmet is the most effective protection in preventing or reducing head injuries.
• Wear eye protection to protect eyes from wind or airborne particles and objects. Laws in
some areas require that you wear eye protection. VICTORY recommends that you wear
approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) bearing markings such as VESC 8, V-8,
Z87.1, or CE. Make sure protective eyewear is kept clean.
• All riders should wear bright or light-colored and/or reflective clothing to improve
visibility to other motorists. A motorist's failure to see or recognize a motorcycle is the
leading cause of automobile/motorcycle accidents.
• Wear gloves, a jacket, heavy boots and long pants to prevent or reduce injury from
abrasions, lacerations or burns should the motorcycle fall. Wear boots with low heels, as
high heels can catch on pedals or footrests. The combination of boots and pants should
completely cover legs, ankles and feet, protecting skin from engine and exhaust system
heat.
• Do not wear loose, flowing clothing or long boot laces, as they can catch on handlebars,
levers or footrests, or they can become entangled in the wheels, causing loss of control and
serious injury .
11
Safety
Use of Accessories
Because VICTORY cannot test and make specific recommendations concerning every
accessory or combination of accessories sold, the operator is responsible for determining that
the motorcycle can be safely operated with any accessories or additional weight. Use the
following guidelines when choosing and installing accessories:
• Do not install accessories that impair the stability, handling or operation of the motorcycle
or operator visibility. Before installing an accessory, be sure that it does not:
• Reduce ground clearance when the motorcycle is either leaned or in a vertical position.
• Limit suspension or steering travel or your ability to operate controls.
• Displace you from your normal riding position.
• Obscure lights or reflectors.
• Bulky or large accessories can cause instability (due to the lifting or buffeting effects of
wind) and loss of control.
• Do not install electrical accessories that exceed the capacity of the motorcycle’s electrical
system. Never install higher wattage light bulbs than those supplied as original equipment.
An electrical failure could result and cause hazardous loss of engine power or lights, or
damage to the electrical system. See page 85.
• Use only genuine VICTORY accessories designed for your model.
Modifications
Modifying the motorcycle by removing any equipment or by adding equipment not approved
by VICTORY may void your warranty. Such modifications could make the motorcycle
unsafe to ride and could result in severe injury to operator or passengers, as well as damage
to the motorcycle. Some modifications may not be legal in your area of operation. If in
doubt, contact your authorized VICTORY dealer.
Parking the Motorcycle
When leaving the motorcycle unattended, turn the engine off. Remove the ignition key to
prevent unauthorized use by minors or those without proper motorcycle certification and
training.
Park the motorcycle where people are not likely to touch the hot engine or exhaust system or
place combustible materials near these hot areas. Do not park near a flammable source such
as a kerosene heater or an open flame, where hot components could ignite combustible
materials.
Park the motorcycle on a firm, level surface. Sloped or soft surfaces may not support the
motorcycle. If you must park on a slope or soft surface, follow the precautions outlined on
page 49.
12
Safety
Carrying Cargo
Use the following guidelines when attaching cargo or accessories to the motorcycle. Where
applicable, these guidelines also refer to the contents of any accessories.
• Keep cargo and accessory weight to a minimum, and keep items as close to the motorcycle
as possible to minimize a change in the motorcycle’s center of gravity. Changing the
center of gravity can cause loss of stability and handling and could cause loss of control.
• Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the motorcycle. Maintain even weight
distribution by checking accessories and cargo to make sure they’re securely attached to
the motorcycle before riding and whenever you take a break from riding. Uneven weight
distribution, or accessories or cargo that shift suddenly while you’re riding can make the
motorcycle hard to handle, can cause loss of control, or cargo could fall from the
motorcycle creating a hazard for surrounding vehicles.
• Do not attach large or heavy cargo such as sleeping bags, duffel bags or tents to the
handlebars, front fork area or front fender. Cargo or accessories placed in these areas can
cause instability (due to improper weight distribution or aerodynamic changes) and could
cause loss of control. Such items can also block air flow to the engine and cause
overheating that can damage the engine.
• Do not exceed the maximum cargo weight limit of any accessory (see accessory
instructions and labels). Do not attach cargo to an accessory not designed for that purpose.
Either circumstance could result in an accessory failure that could cause loss of control.
• Do not attach anything to the motorcycle unless specifically designed for that purpose by
VICTORY.
Saddlebags, Trunk (if equipped), Luggage Racks (if equipped)
WARNING! Operating this vehicle without saddlebags could result in severe injury or death. Never
operate this vehicle if the saddlebags are not in place and properly secured.
WARNING! Never install an accessory trunk to the CROSS COUNTRY MAGNUM. This model is not
designed for operation with a trunk. Always ensure both fender close-outs are installed before
operating.
Whenever operating a motorcycle with saddlebags:
• Never ride at excessive speeds. Saddlebags, combined with the lifting or buffeting effects
of wind, can make the motorcycle unstable and cause loss of control.
• Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the motorcycle.
• Do not exceed the maximum cargo weight limit of any saddlebag, luggage rack or trunk.
A weight capacity label is attached to these components for reference.
• NEVER EXCEED GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) or the GROSS
AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR), regardless of whether or not the saddlebags, racks
and/or trunk are loaded to capacity. Exceeding the weight rating can reduce stability and
handling and cause loss of control.

WARNING
Transporting the Motorcycle
If you must transport the motorcycle:
• Use a truck or trailer. Do not tow the motorcycle
with another vehicle, as towing will impair the
motorcycle's steering and handling.
• Position and restrain the motorcycle so it remains
upright on the truck or trailer. If the motorcycle
leans to one side, gasoline may leak from the fuel
tank and result in a fire hazard or damage to the finish.
• Do not restrain the motorcycle using the handlebars.
• Place tiedown straps around the fork tubes above
the lower triple clamp. Place tiedowns as wide apart
as possible on the truck or trailer bed for best stability.
Fuel and Exhaust Safety
Always heed these fuel safety warnings when refueling or servicing the fuel system. For
fueling procedures, see page 43.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
• Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
• Always turn off the engine before refueling.
• Always refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
• Open the fuel cap slowly. Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck.
• Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where refueling is performed or
where gasoline is stored.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are poisonous and can cause severe injury.
• Do not swallow gasoline, inhale gasoline vapors, or spill gasoline. If you swallow gasoline, inhale
more than a few breaths of gasoline vapor, or get gasoline in your eyes, see a physician
immediately.
• If gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and water and change
clothing.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause loss of
consciousness or death in a short time.
• Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area.
• Never inhale exhaust gases.

Safety
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
WARNING! Exceeding the gross vehicle weight rating of your motorcycle can reduce stability and han-
dling and could cause loss of control. NEVER exceed the GVWR of your motorcycle.
The maximum load capacity of your motorcycle is the maximum weight you may add to
your motorcycle without exceeding the GVWR. This capacity is determined by calculating
the difference between your motorcycle’s GVWR and wet weight.
Refer to the specification section beginning on page 104 or the Manufacturing Information/
VIN label on the motorcycle frame for model-specific information. See page 17.
When determining the weight you will be adding to your motorcycle, and to ensure you do
not exceed the maximum load capacity, include the following:
• operator body weight
• passenger body weight
• weight of all riders’ apparel and items in or on apparel
• weight of any accessories and their contents
• weight of any additional cargo on the motorcycle
