feel very satisfied knowing you will have such a tremendous
amount of experience riding with you on the highway. Experience
in design, engineering, and manufacturing went hand in hand to
produce one of the best motorcycles on the market today.

time spent in knowing how to keep your machine running perfectly
every day.
This manual gives minor maintenance and repairprocedures. Any
major repairs should be performed at your Victory dealer by a
skilled technician. Attempting major repairs yourself could lead to
serious injury or death.

your concerns warrant the attention of Victory Motorcycles, you
may call Polaris Customer Service at 763-417-8650. We will assist
your dealer as necessary to resolve any issues.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Make pre-ride inspections a habit before each ride. Thorough
inspections can help prevent accidents.
This motorcycle is designed to transport the operator and one
passenger only.
Failure to be seen is the number one cause of motorcycle/auto-
mobile accidents. Making yourself conspicuous lessens the
chance that an automobile operator will not see you. To make
yourself more visible you should:
D Wear brightly colored and reflective clothing and helmet.
D Use extra caution when negotiating intersections.
Intersections are the most likely place for a motorcycle
accident to occur.
D Don’t ride in other motorist’s blind spots. Make sure they
canseeyouintheirmirrors.
Inexperienced operators are a leading cause of motorcycle ac-
cidents.
D Professional and qualified training is available, make sure
you are qualified before you begin riding your machine. Do
not lend your machine to inexperienced operators.
D Ride within your skills and limits. Don’t be afraid of slowing
down or taking another route until you are confident of your
abilities.
Practice riding your motorcycle out of traffic areas until you are
comfortable with the characteristics of the machine and its controls.
3
SAFETY INFORMATION
Many motorcycle accidents are caused by operator error, such
as excessive speed.
D Always obey posted speed limits.
D Riding this motorcycle at speeds in excess of the posted
speed limit increases your chances of losing control of the
motorcycle.
D Reduce your speed if conditions warrant it.
Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Don’t take it for
granted that other motorists have seen you. Check your mirrors
and turn your head before changing lanes.
The operator and the passenger are integral parts of the han-
dling characteristics o f a motorcycle.
D The operator should keep both hands on the handlebars
and both feet on the operator footrests whenever the
machine is being operated.
D The passenger should always hold on to the operator or
the handhold strap and keep both feet on the passenger
footrests.
D Never carry a passenger unless he or she can firmly place
both feet on the passenger footrests.
Never use alcohol or drugs before or while operating this ve-
hicle.
This motorcycle is designed for paved road use only. It is not
suitable for off-road use.
4
SAFETY INFORMATION
Protective Apparel
The operator and passenger must always wear a helmet.
Head injuries are the main cause of motorcycle fatalities. The
use of an approved safety helmet is critical to the prevention
or reduction of head injuries.
Always wear a D.O.T. or SNELL approved helmet.
Always use a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes. Im-
paired vision can contribute to accidents.
Always wear heavy boots, long sleeved jacket, gloves, and
trousers to reduce the severity of lacerations, abrasions or
burns.
Never wear loose fitting clothing. Loose fitting clothing can im-
pair the operation of controls, become entangled in moving
parts (wheels, drive belt, etc.), or impair vision and/or control
and cause an accident.
Modifications
Modificationsmade to your motorcycle that are not approved by
Victory may render your motorcycle unsafe for use and may
cause accidents. This includes the removal of original equipment. Modifications may also make your motorcycle illegal to
use and, in some instances, can void your warranty
Adding accessories or cargo can affect handling and stability
because the weight distribution can be altered. Use caution if
adding cargo o r accessories to your motorcycle.
5
SAFETY INFORMATION
Accessories
Adding accessories to the Victory Motorcycle can affect
its stability, handling characteristics, and safe operating
speed.
Genuine Victory accessories are specifically designed for Victo-
ry motorcycles and have been tested for fit, function and safety.
You should use extreme caution when installing and using any
non--Victory accessories. If you choose to use non-Victory accessories, you must be certain these accessories are safe for
use with your Victory.
To prevent serious injury or death when using saddlebags:
S Never ride above 80 mph (120 kph) with saddlebags.
Doing so could cause you to lose control. This maximum
safe speed may be less. See Owner’s Manual for more
information.
S Do not exceed maximum load limit of 7 lbs (3.178 kg) in
each saddlebag. Distribute weight evenly.
S Total weight of rider, passenger, accessories, and cargo
must not exceed the motorcycle load capacity. (see
Specifications, Page 81)
6
SAFETY INFORMATION
Loading
Overloading the Victory Motorcycle can affect its stability,
handling characteristics, and safe operating speed. To
prevent loss of control, follow these safety precautions.
The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and
cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit. Refer to the
specification page 81 to determine the load limit for your motorcycle.
Accessory and cargo weight should be kept as low and close to
the center of gravity of the machine as possible. Distribute the
weight evenly on both sides of the machine.
Shifting weights while operating the machine can upset the han-
dling of the motorcycle. It is imperative to attach cargo and accessories securely. Inspect all accessory mounts and cargo attachments every time before riding your machine. Loose cargo
can become entangled in wheels, belts, etc., and cause a serious accident.
Heavy, large items should never be carried on the handlebars,
front forks, or the front fender. Carrying large,heavy,bulky items
in these areas will create, slow steering response, lessen your
ability to see, and possibly cause loss of control.
Your Victory motorcycle was not designed to pull trailers or at-
tach sidecars. Doing so will drastically change the handling
characteristics and is not recommended by Victory.
7
SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not install accessories or carry cargo that changes the de-
sign parameters of the machine. After installing accessories or
cargo, carefully inspect the machine to determine if:
D Ground clearance has been reduced
D Cornering clearance has been reduced.
D Suspension travel has been reduced.
D Steering travel has been reduced or restricted.
D Control operation has been obscured or restricted.
D Lights or reflectors have been covered.
NOTE: Bulky accessories and/or cargo may change the aerodynamics of the machine and affect stability during normal riding,
crosswinds or wind created by passing vehicles.
Adding electrical accessories may exceed the capacity of the
electrical system. This could lead to an electrical failure which
could cause a dangerous loss of lights and/or engine power.
Improper loading of your Victory motorcycle can adversely af-
fect its handling and overload the tires.
D This can cause a loss of control or a tire blow-out.
D Always follow recommendations in this manual for loading
of the motorcycle and care of tires. See pages 7 and 36.
SAFE OPERATING RULES
Before operating your new motorcycle it is your responsibility to
read and follow operating and maintenance instructions in this
manual. Follow these basic rules for your personal safety.
D Know and respect the rules of the road. Read and
understand this Owner’s Manual. You should also read
and know the contents of your state’s motorcycle
handbook, available at your local DMV.
D Use only genuine Victory approved parts and accessories.
Use of certain other manufacturer’s performance parts will
void your new motorcycle warranty. See your dealer for
details.
8
SAFETY INFORMATION
D Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under
certain conditions. Refuel in a well ventilated area with the
engine turned off. Remove fuel filler cap slowly. Do not
smoke or allow open flames or sparks when refueling or
servicing the fuel system. Do not fill fuel tank above the
bottom of the filler neck insert. Leave air space to allow for
fuel expansion.
Motorcycle exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
Do not inhale exhaust gases and never run the engine in a
closed garage or confined area.
D Before starting engine, check for proper operation of
brake, clutch, shifter, throttle controls, correct fuel and oil
supply.
D Be certain vehicle stand is up before riding the motorcycle.
Riding with the stand unretracted can cause a serious
crash, leading to injury or death!
D A new motorcycle must be operated according to the
special break-in procedure explained in this manual on
page 41.
D Operate the motorcycle only at moderate speed and out of
traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with its
operation and handling characteristics under all
conditions. If you are an inexperienced rider we
recommend that you obtain information and formal training
in correct motorcycle riding technique.
D Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for
existing conditions. Always reduce speed when poor
driving conditions exist. High speed increases the
influence of any other condition affecting stability and
possibility of loss of control.
D Pay strict a ttention to road surfaces and wind conditions.
Any two wheeled vehicle may be subject to upsetting
forces. Wind blasts from passing cars and trucks can
cause stability to be upset. Be sure to stay aware of traffic
surrounding you, road conditions, and weather conditions
and adjust your riding style accordingly.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Fuel
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain
conditions.
D Always stop the engine and refuel outdoors or in a well
ventilated area.
D Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near
the area where refueling is performed or where gasoline
is stored.
D Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck above
the fuel tank insert. Leave air space to allow for fuel
expansion.
D If you get gasoline in your eyes or if you swallow
gasoline, see your doctor immediately. Never try to
syphon gasoline using mouth suction.
D If you spill gasoline on your skin or clothing, immediately
wash it off with soap and water and change clothing.
D Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area.
Gasoline powered engine exhaust fumes are poisonous
and can cause loss of consciousness and death in a
short time.
The engine exhaust from this
product contains chemicals known

SAFETY INFORMATION
Parking
NOTE: When leaving the machine unattended make sure to re-
move the ignition key and lock the steering lock.
The engine and exhaust pipes may be hot. Park the machine
in an area where children aren’t likely to touch these hot areas.
The machine may fall over if parked on uneven and/or soft
ground. Make sure to park your machineon level,firm surfaces.
Be particularly careful when parking on black top especially in
summer. The more asphalt warms, the softer it gets and when
asphalt gets soft, the side stand will sink into the pavement,
causing the bike to fall. Avoid this by placing a small (6″ x6″ x
1/4″) board under the foot of the stand.
Do not park the machine near flammable sources or open
flame.
