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 home page 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 44. Failure to do so can result in serious engine damage.

• Some VICTORY motorcycles include saddlebags, a windshield, a trunk, or a passenger backrest as standard equipment. To maintain stability, be prepared to reduce the operating speed of motorcycles equipped with these items.

Safety

Safe Riding Practices

Follow these general safe riding practices:

• Before each ride, perform the pre-ride inspections as outlined beginning on page 36. Fail-

ure 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 or under the influence of alcohol, prescription drugs,

over-the-counter drugs or any other drugs. Fatigue, 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 VIC-

TORY 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 foot-

rests.

• Be aware that the highway bar is not designed to protect the rider from injury in a colli-

sion.

• 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.

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.

• Y ou are being passed in either direction by a large vehicle that produces a wind blast in its wake.

• T o maximize braking effectiveness, use the fr ont and rear 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 perfor-

mance.

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.

• 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.

• T o obtain the best ride and handling characteristics, adjust the rear shock absorber air pres-

sure. See page 66.

• 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. Fail ure 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 hel-

mets 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 reflectiv e clo thin g to impro ve visib il-

ity 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 abra-

sions, 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 .

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 t he motorcycle. 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 addi ng 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.

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 51.

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 distribu-

tion 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 and could cause loss of control.

• Do not attach large or heavy cargo such as sleeping bags, duffel bags or tents to the han-

dlebars, 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 instruc-

tions 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 and Trunk (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.

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 in each of the saddlebags.

• Do not exceed the individual weight limit of each saddlebag or the trunk. A weight capac-

ity label is attached inside for reference.

• NEVER EXCEED GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) or the GROSS

AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR), regardless of whether or not the saddlebags 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 45.

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

WARNING

Safety Maintenance

Failure to perform safety maintenance as recommended can result in difficult handling and loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death. Always perform the safety maintenance procedures as recommended. Perform maintenance and repairs promptly as outlined in the VICTORY service manual, or see your authorized VICTORY dealer for service.

• Before each ride, perform the Pre-Ride Inspections. See page 36.

• Perform all periodic maintenance at the recommended intervals outlined in the Periodic

Maintenance section beginning on page 54.

• Always maintain proper tire pressure, tread condition and wheel and tire balance. Inspect

tires regularly and replace worn or damaged tires promptly. Use only approved replacement tires.

Electromagnetic Interference

This vehicle complies with European directive 97/24/EC Chapter 8 requirements, which is equivalent to Canadian ICES-002.

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 of this manual or the Manufacturing Information/VIN label on the motorcycle frame for model-specific information. Refer to the “Safety and Information Labels” section in this manual for location on the motorcycle.

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
