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. 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 information in this safety section 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 owner'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 page 9.

• Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). See the specifications section beginning on page 84 or the certification label on the steering head. 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.

• Be prepared to reduce speed to maintain stability if your motorcycle is equipped with features such as saddlebags, a windshield or a passenger backrest.

Safety

Safe Riding Practices

Follow these general safe riding practices:

• Before each ride, perform the pre-ride inspections. See page 28.

• Follow all break-in procedures during the first 500 miles (800 km) of operation. See page

37.

• 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 owner’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.

• If your motorcycle operates abnormally, correct the problem immediately. See the VIC-

TORY Service Manual or your authorized VICTORY dealer. Continued operation could aggravate the initial problem, increase the cost of repairs and threaten your safety.

• 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.

• 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 cr ossings or

other slippery surfaces.

- 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.

- being passed in either direction by a lar ge vehicle that produces a wind blast in its wake.

• T o maximize braking ef fectiveness, use the front and re ar brak es together. Be aware of the following important information:

- The rear brake provides 40% of the motorcycle's stopping power, at most.

- To avoid skidding, app ly the brakes gradually when the r oad is wet o r r ough, or con tains

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.

• To avoid loss of control:

- Retract the sidestand fully before riding. Ground clearance is reduced when the motor-

cycle leans.

- When approaching a curve, choose a speed and lean angle that will allow you to pass

through the curve in your own lane without applying the brakes.

- Do not allow components to contact the road surface when leaning in a curve.

- Do not tow a trailer, which can make the motorcycle hard to handle.

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).

• If necessary, adjust the rear shock preload. See page 52. Improper preload adjustment can

make your motorcycle hard to handle and can cause loss of control.

• Before riding, be sure your passenger is familiar with safe riding procedures. An inexperi-

enced passenger may distract you or make movements that cause instability.

• Direct the passenger to hold onto you or the seat strap 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 rides improperly can shift body weight erratically and cause instability.

• Adjust your riding style to compensate for the differences in handling, acceleration and

braking caused by the additional weight of the passenger.

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. VI CTORY 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

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

WARNING! Exceeding the gross vehicle weight rating of your motorcycle can reduce stability and

handling 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

Carrying Cargo

Use the following guidelines when attaching cargo or accessories to the motorcycle.

To prevent instability and loss of control:

• Keep cargo and accessory weight to a minimum. Keep items as close to the motorcycle as possible to minimize a change in the motorcycle's center of gravity.

• Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the motorcycle and secure cargo to prevent unexpected shifting. Check all accessories and cargo for security and even distribution before riding and at each riding break.

• Do not attach large or heavy cargo such as sleeping bags, duffel bags or tents to the handlebars, front fork area or front fender. These areas are not designed to carry cargo. Cargo in these areas can also block air flow to the engine and cause overheating.

• Do not exceed the maximum cargo weight limit of any accessory. Refer to the accessory instructions and labels. Do not attach cargo to an accessory not designed for that purpose.

• Do not attach anything to the highway bar except highway footrests.

Safety

Carrying Cargo

Saddlebags

When operating a motorcycle equipped with saddlebags:

• Never ride at speeds exceeding 80 MPH (120 km/h). Depending on load and weather con-

ditions, the maximum safe operating speed may be less. Saddlebags, combined with the lifting or buffeting effects of wind, can cause instability.

• Distribute weight evenly in each of the saddlebags.

• Do not exceed the maximum cargo capacity of the saddlebags.

• Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).

Parking the Motorcycle

When leaving the motorcycle unattended, turn the engine off and remove the ignition key. 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. See page 42.

Modifications

Modifying the motorcycle by removing any equipment or by addi ng equipment not approved by VICTOR Y may void your warranty . Such modifications may 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.

Transporting the Motorcycle

When transporting the motorcycle:

• Use a truck or trailer. Never tow the motorcycle. Towing will impair steering and handling.

• Restrain the motorcycle in an upright position to prevent fuel leaks.

• Place the transmission in neutral.

• Do not place restraints on the handlebars. Loosen the front turn signal mounts and slide them upward. Place tiedown straps around the fork tubes above the lower triple clamp. Secure the rear of the motorcycle with tiedowns around both sides of the swingarm, being careful to avoid the brake line, exhaust and drive belt. Reposition the turn signals before

operating the motorcycle.

Safety

WARNING

Accessory Selection and Installation

Use the following guidelines when choosing and installing accessories:

• Do not install accessories that impair the stability , handling or operation of the motorcycle.

Before installing an accessory, be sure that it does not:

- Reduce ground clearance when the motorcycle is either leaning or upright.

- Limit suspension or steering travel or your ability to operate contr ols.

- Displace you from your normal riding position.

- Obscure lights or reflectors.

• Do not install bulky or large accessories that can cause instability (due to the lifting or buf-

feting effects of wind).

• Do not install electrical accessories that exceed the capacity of the 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.

• Always install accessories designed and approved by VICTORY specifically for your

model, especially a windshield, backrest or luggage rack. An improperly designed or installed accessories can reduce stability, causing loss of control. Follow the instructions for proper installation and use.

Fuel and Exhaust Safety

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.

• If gasoline spills on the any part of the motorcycle, immediately rinse it off with water. 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.
