Brakes
Check Front Brake Lever Movement
Squeeze the front brake lever toward the handlebar and release it. It
should move freely and smoothly and should return to its rest position
quickly when released. You should feel a firm resistance in the lever
within the first 3/4-inch (19 mm) of lever travel.
If the brake lever travels too far before beginning to engage the brake, see
the VICTORY Service Manual, or contact an authorized VICTORY dealer
for service.
Lubricate Front Brake Lever
1. Remove right side mirror.
2. Remove brake lever pivot nut (10mm wrench or socket) and pin
(4mm hexagonal wrench).
3. Remove any old grease and dirt from the brake lever and housing.
4. Lubricate the brake lever and lever pivot pin with VICTORY All
Purpose Grease or equivalent.
5. Reinstall the brake lever and lever pivot pin. Note plunger
direction of installation if removed. This is critical for proper
brake function. Torque the pivot pin to 52 in-lbs (6 Nm).
