SERVICE RULES
In order to perform service work efficiently and prevent costly errors, technicians should read the text in this manual and
familiarize themselves with the procedures before beginning. Notes, Cautions and Warnings have been included for clar-
ification of text and safety concerns. Knowledge of mechanical theory, tool use and shop procedures are necessary to
perform some procedures in this manual safely and correctly.
Use only genuine Victory service parts, including fasteners that require replacement if removed. Do NOT substitute fas-
teners or hardware.
Cleanliness of parts and tools as well as the work area is of primary importance. Dirt and foreign matter will cause dam-
age to precision parts. Clean the motorcycle before beginning service. Clean all parts before installing.
If difficulty is encountered in removing or installing a component, look to see if a cause for the difficulty can be found.
If it is necessary to tap the part into place, use a soft face hammer and tap lightly.
Always follow torque specifications as outlined throughout this manual. Incorrect torquing may lead to serious machine
damage or in the case of steering, driveline, and chassis components, can result in loss of control during operation of
the motorcycle, which may result in severe personal injury or death.
If a torquing sequence is indicated for nuts, bolts or screws of a certain component, start all fasteners and hand tighten.
Following the method and sequence indicated, tighten evenly to the specified torque value. When removing nuts, bolts
or screws from a component with several fasteners, loosen them all about 1/4 turn before removing them to prevent dis-
tortion of that component.
Replace all oil seals, sealing washers, gaskets, and O-rings with new ones during assembly. Be sure the mating surfaces
for the gasket are clean and smooth to avoid leaks and maintain specified tolerances.
Some procedures require removal of retaining rings or clips. Removal can weaken and deform these parts, therefore,
they should always be replaced with new parts. When installing new retaining rings and clips, use care not to expand
or compress them beyond what is required for installation.
Victory lubricants and greases have been specially formulated to provide maximum performance and protection when
applied properly. In some applications, warranty coverage may be void if improper lubricants are used.
Parts requiring grease should be cleaned thoroughly and fresh grease applied before reassembly. Deteriorating grease
loses lubricity and may contain abrasive foreign matter.
Always replace locking hardware such as lock nuts or lock washers, fasteners that have pre-applied locking agent, or
any other fasteners as noted in this service manual with genuine Victory hardware from an authorized Victory dealer.
Working with batteries can be hazardous. Review all battery warnings and cautions.

BREAK IN PERIOD 1
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
There is never a more important period in the life of a new Victory motorcycle than the period between zero and 500
miles (805 km). A Victory motorcycle is manufactured using the best possible materials and manufacturing techniques,
but the final machining process is the break-in. During break-in period, many parts in the engine wear and polish to cor-
rect operating clearances. During this time, the operator should:
BREAK-IN GUIDELINES
Miles/km Throttle Notes
Position
0-90 miles 0-1/3 Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3 throttle. Stop engine and let it cool
following every hour of operation. Vary speed of motorcycle. Do not operate
machine at one set throttle position.
90-300 miles 0-1/2 Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2 throttle. Stop engine and let it cool
following every hour of operation. Vary speed of the motorcycle. Do not
operate machine at one set throttle position.
300-500 miles 0-3/4 Avoid cruising speeds above 3/4 throttle.
500 miles Replace the engine oil and engine oil filter. Perform 500 mile service on the machine.
See chapter 2 for more information.
500 + Avoid prolonged full-throttle operation. Vary the engine speed occasionally. Follow the pre-
ride inspection outlined in the owner's manual.

EMISSIONS
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board (CARB) require manufacturers to certify
that their motorcycles comply with applicable exhaust emissions standards during their useful life, and that motorcycles
built after January 1, 1983 comply with applicable noise emission standards for one year or 6,000 km (3,730 mi) after
the time of sale to the ultimate purchaser, when operated and maintained according to the instructions provided.
EMISSION SOURCES
An internal combustion engine produces carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons during operation. Hydrocarbons must be
controlled because under some conditions hydrocarbons react with sunlight to produce photochemical smog. Carbon
monoxide must be controlled because it is toxic.
EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL
Victory Motorcycles have an electronic engine management system which controls fuel delivery and ignition timing to
control hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions. Follow the Periodic Maintenance Interval Table on page 2.5 and
inspect the emission control system as outlined in this manual. No adjustments can be made to the EEC system.
Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below:
1. Removal of, or puncturing the muffler, baffles, header pipes or any other component which conducts exhaust
gases.
2. Removal or puncturing of any part of the intake system.
3. Lack of proper maintenance.
4. Replacing any moving part of the motorcycle or parts of the exhaust / intake system with parts other than those
specified by the manufacturer.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FUEL SAFETY
Many hazards are present when working on or around the fuel injection system. Read and pay close attention to the
following warnings and cautions when working on any component in this section.
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Always stop the engine and refuel outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where refueling is performed or where gasoline is
stored. 5
Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck above the fuel tank insert. Leave air space to allow for fuel
expansion.
If you get gasoline in your eyes or if you swallow gasoline, see your doctor immediately. Never try to syphon gasoline
using mouth suction.
If you spill gasoline on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and water and change clothing.
Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of
consciousness and death in a short time.
DO NOT TAMPER

GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT NOTES
• This section covers service of the cylinder heads, camshafts, cam chains and tensioners, cam chain guides and
rocker arms. Cam chain tensioners can be serviced with the engine in the frame. Most other cylinder head
components require engine removal.
• If cylinder heads are removed the cylinder base gasket must be replaced also.
• Mark and store all mating parts for correct engine assembly.
• If engine damage has occurred due to lack of lubrication or debris has circulated within the engine, all oil
passages must be inspected before engine assembly is completed.
• Pay attention to notes concerning assembly lubrication. Many parts require pre-lube and various parts require
different types of pre-lube.
• Some fasteners have a pre-applied locking agent, and must be replaced if loosened or removed. Always
replace fasteners that have a pre-applied locking agent or as directed in this service manual.
• There are many precision measuring steps and some precision machining steps to be performed in this section.
If you are not sure of your capabilities in these areas, have a competent machinist perform these operations.
• Valve guide and seat reconditioning should be performed by a technician proficient in cylinder head
reconditioning techniques using high quality equipment with grinding stones or precision carbide cutters. Do not
attempt cylinder head repair without the proper equipment or experience in cylinder head reconditioning
techniques.
• Cleanliness of parts is critical to engine life and accurate parts inspection. Use clean solvent to clean all
disassembled parts. Dry parts with compressed air and lubricate before engine inspection and engine
assembly.

GENERAL
SERVICE INFORMATION
• Clutch and external transmission shift linkage service can be accomplished with the engine in the frame.
• Internal transmission or internal shifting mechanism service requires engine removal and crankcase separation.
• Oil additives of any kind are not recommended by Victory. Using oil additives or oil of the wrong viscosity can
have a detrimental affect on clutch performance, operation, and service life.
• Burnt clutch plates are not an indication of defective clutch plates. Burnt clutch plates indicate that a problem
exists within the clutch system, the clutch has been used improperly, or plates were contaminated by improper
oil or additives.
• Victory 20W/40 motorcycle oil is recommended for all operating temperatures. If Victory 20W/40 oil is not
available, a high quality 20W/40 motorcycle oil suitable for use in wet clutch transmissions can be used.
• Lubricate parts during assembly as described in the procedures.
• Corroded or sticking shift linkage pivot points can cause abnormal shifting. Replace any linkage components
that are damaged or do not move freely, and lubricate at regular intervals.

TRANSMISSION & CRANKSHAFT
GENERAL
SERVICE INFORMATION
• Remove engine from frame to service internal transmission and/or crankshaft components (Chapter 6).
• The crankcase must be separated to access internal transmission components and crankshaft. Remove:
•Cylinder heads
•Cylinders & pistons
•Gear shift linkage
•Primary cover and components (as required depending on needed access to other components).
•Regulator / Rectifier and Bracket.
•Starter motor
• Label and store parts neatly to speed the assembly process and ensure that matched parts like connecting
rods, camshaft carriers, and bearings can be installed in their original location.
• Crankshaft main bearing replacement requires line boring. This procedure requires full machine shop
capabilities and specialized knowledge. It is recommended that a qualified machine shop perform this
procedure if it becomes necessary or replace the crankcase assembly.
• Crankshafts and connecting rods are color coded for manufacturing tolerances with a white or red paint mark (or
stamped “R” or W”). See page 10.18.
• All torque specifications are "dry" unless specified for oil or locking agent. Refer to exploded views.
• When locking agents are required, use Loctite™ Primer N to clean fastener before applying locking agent.
Primer N reduces cure time of thread locking agent in addition to preparing the surfaces.

WARNINGS / PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
If a consumer wishes to replace the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) tires with another brand of tire, Victory
recommends contacting the tech-line department of the tire manufacturer being considered to ensure compatibility.
Victory makes no other recommendation other than the OEM tires. Tires other than OEM may or may not adversely
affect the handling characteristics of the motorcycle or may not have adequate clearance between tire and various
parts of the motorcycle.
WARNING
Victory motorcycles are produced using the designated tires listed as original equipment. This includes field testing
to ensure stability and superior handling. The use of tires other than original equipment may cause instability which
can lead to a crash resulting in serious injury or death. Use only the recommended tires inflated to the recom-
mended tire pressures.
Operating the motorcycle with damaged rims creates a safety hazard including air pressure loss, steering imbal-
ance and/or reduced steering control. Do not attempt to repair or straighten damaged rims.
The use of tire valves and valve cores other than original equipment replacement Victory parts could cause tire
deflation during driving. Always use genuine Victory parts or their equivalent. Be certain to install the valve stem
caps securely. Do not allow the motorcycle to be ridden without properly installed valve stem caps.
WARNING
Do not attempt to repair tires that have:
Punctures with a diameter of greater than 6mm (0.240").
Cuts with a length of greater than 6mm (0.240").
Any punctures or cuts on the sidewall of the tire.
Tread depth of less than 1.6mm (.063") for the front tire.
Tread depth of less than 1.6mm (.063") for the rear tire.
Ply separation
Tread separation
Severe tread cupping.
Cuts, gouges or scratches on the sealing surface of the bead.
Flat spots on the tread.
Bubbles, separation or any unusual damage to the inner liner of the tire.
Chemical sealants or balance additives added to the tire.
WARNING
All repairs must be made from inside the tire. Victory recommends the use of “head-type” plugs such as: Tech Tire
RepairTM Uni-Seals. Complete Tech Tire RepairTM kits are commonly available at most automotive parts outlets.
WARNING
No form of temporary repair should ever be attempted. Secondary damage caused by a penetrating object may not
be detected and tire or tube deflation may occur at a later date.

WARNING
It is dangerous to ride with a worn tire. When a tire reaches the minimum tread depth listed below, replace
the tire immediately.

Excess Wear in the Middle of Tire Over-inflation or Tire Abuse
Cracks in Tread Grooves Underinflation, Excessive Loads, Suspension Bottoming
Tread Block Cupping (Usually Front Tire -See Below) Normal Braking Wear
OZONE CRACKING
Ozone cracking usually shows up on the sidewalls of tires and is caused by sunlight, electric motor emissions, smog,
or other environmental factors. Ozone cracking does not pose a problem unless the cracks reach the cords. If this occurs,
moisture may penetrate the carcass of the tire causing cord separation. Tires showing signs of severe ozone cracking
(cords visible at the bottom of the cracks) must be replaced.

TIRES / WHEELS
TIRE CHANGING
GENERAL
There are three generally acceptable methods to dismount and mount a tubeless motorcycle tire from its rim.
Furthermore, there are countless variations for each of the three methods.
The three general methods are:
• Pneumatic or electrically operated tire machine.
• Manually operated tire machine.
• Manual manipulation of tire irons.
The seal between the tire and its rim is one of the most critical factors contributing to the safe operation of the wheel/
tire assembly. Each of the three generally acceptable methods to dismount and mount tires is permissible and recom-
mended by Victory. However, careless or improper work habits can damage both the tire and rim regardless of which
method is used.
The pneumatic or electrically operated tire machine is preferred as it is the most efficient method to dismount and mount
tires. It is also the most expensive way to change tires.
The manually operated tire machine is the next preferred method to dismount and mount tires. It can be just as efficient
as a power assisted tire machine. With some types of manually operated tire machines, it will be necessary to remove
the belt driven sprocket to gain sufficient clearance for tire removal.
Manual manipulation of tire irons is the least preferred method of tire dismounting and mounting. It will not generally
deliver the same efficiency as the other two methods and greater care needs to be taken when performing the operation.
Use care not to damage or stress the tire bead when using tire irons. Be sure opposite bead is in drop center of wheel
when mounting and dismounting the tire.
Be very careful not to damage the rim, tire, inner tube, brake disk or sprocket regardless of which method is used.
The following method describes the procedure using manually manipulated tire irons. Other than the actual operation
of various tools, the general concept is the same regardless of which method is used.
The following procedure shows the front tire being removed from its rim. Other than the possibility of interference of the
sprocket, the procedure is the same for the rear tire.
NOTE: Rear sprocket bolts and brake rotor bolts have a pre-applied locking agent and bolts should either be replaced
or a locking agent applied upon assembly. Refer to Chapter 11 for rear sprocket removal and installation. Refer to
Chapter 13 for rear brake rotor removal and installation. Brake rotor bolts should not be re-used.

Balance Dots
Dunlop tires have a yellow dot on the sidewall which
corresponds to the lightest part of the tire. This dot is meant Valve Stem

damage caused by the penetrating object. Reliance Fig. 12
upon sealants can result in sudden tire failure and
accident.
Directional Arrows
If tires have directional arrows, they must be observed and
tires installed correctly. When tires are manufactured, tread
rubber is laid down as a strip and its ends connect as
overlapping joints. When the tire is mounted correctly the
scrubbing forces of acceleration (rear) or braking (front)
press the lap joints together rather than try to separate the
joint.
The wheel assemblies must be free of foreign debris that
would affect balancing.
Carefully inspect the wheel bearings, seals and axle for
damage or corrosion.

6. For tube type tires, also observe the following: will make tire inflation easier. (Fig. 13)
TUBE TYPE TIRES:
Apply baby powder to new tube and install by
inserting valve stem through rim band and rim.
Tube must be completely deflated at this time.
Install the valve stem lock nut a few threads. Do
not tighten the lock nut at this time.
12. Install valve core if it was removed. • Stand back with no part of your body within the
perimeter of the assembled tire and rim.
13. Line up balance dot. • Inflate with core in valve stem

WARNING
Contaminated brake discs or pads greatly reduce the amount of stopping force available & increase stopping distance.
Brake discs can be cleaned using a commercially available brake disc cleaner. Follow the manufacturer instructions
printed on the container. NEVER attempt to clean contaminated brake pads. Always replace pads as a set.
WARNING
The brake system uses ethylene-glycol based fluid (DOT 4). Do not use or mix with different types of fluid such as
silicone-based (DOT 5) or any petroleum-based fluid.
Do not let water or moisture enter the master cylinder when refilling. Water significantly lowers the boiling point of the
fluid and can result in poor braking.
Do not use brake fluid taken from old, used or unsealed containers. Never reuse brake fluid.
Keep brake fluid containers completely sealed and out of reach of children.
Brake hoses should be replaced whenever the exterior shows signs of deterioration or damage. Brake hoses should
be replaced every four (4) years regardless of their exterior condition.
Bleed the brake system any time it is disassembled or when the brake action is spongy.
Always inspect the operation of the brakes before riding the motorcycle.
Always remove the master cylinder fluid reservoir cover and inspect the fluid level when brake pads are replaced.
NOTICE: Brake fluid and some types of brake cleaners will damage paint, plastics and some rubber compounds.
Cover or remove plastic and painted parts before working on the brake system. If brake fluid is spilled on cosmetic
surfaces, immediately rinse the area with a mild solution of soap and water until all traces of brake fluid are removed.
Make sure the master cylinder reservoir being worked on is level and clean before removing the cap.

WARNING
Contaminated brake discs or brake pads greatly reduce braking performance and increase stopping distance. Do not
attempt to clean contaminated pads. Replace them. Clean the brake disc with brake cleaner.
WARNING
This brake system requires ethylene-glycol based fluid (DOT 4). Do not use or mix different types of fluid such as
silicone-based or petroleum-based.
WARNING
Do not use brake fluid taken from old, used or unsealed containers. Never reuse brake fluid. Brake fluid can
accumulate moisture, reducing it’s performance.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous. Keep brake fluid tightly sealed and out of reach of children.
WARNING
A soft, spongy feeling in the brake lever and/or brake pedal could indicate a hazardous condition in the brake system.
Do not operate the motorcycle until the failure in the brake system is corrected.
WARNING
An unsafe condition exists when air is trapped in the hydraulic brake system. Air in the brake hydraulic system acts
like a soft spring and absorbs a large percentage of the pressure developed by the master cylinder. Without this
pressure, the braking system cannot develop full braking force to allow for safe, controlled stops. It is extremely
important to bleed the brakes properly after any brake system work has been performed or when inspection reveals
spongy brakes.
• Pump the lever or pedal slowly when bleeding the brake system. Rapid movement could cause a surge of fluid
through small orifices of the brake system when the bleeder screw is opened and could introduce air into the 15
system by means of cavitation.
• Small amounts of air can become trapped in the banjo bolt fittings at the master cylinder(s) and junction points
of brake lines. These fittings can be purged of air by following a standard bleeding procedure at these fittings
(instead of the bleed screw on caliper) if necessary to speed the bleeding process. This is usually only needed
if system was completely drained of fluid. Bleed each line connection, starting with the fitting closest to the
master cylinder, working toward the caliper, and ending with the bleed screw.
• Always torque banjo bolts and other brake system fasteners and components to specified torque.
• Always install NEW genuine Victory replacement parts and rubber parts upon assembly. Apply special lubricant
where indicated (included in service kits).

• This ignition system is controlled electronically and no provisions are available to inspect or change ignition
timing. A timing light is still valuable as a diagnostic tool.
• Poor connections are the most common cause of ignition problems. Inspect all connections and replace the
spark plugs before doing extensive ignition system troubleshooting.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged and that the charging system is operating correctly.
• A signal from the Crankshaft Position Sensor must be present for spark to occur.

TROUBLESHOOTING
BASICS
Before troubleshooting the ignition system, ensure that the engine stop switch is in the run position, that the battery is
fully charged, and that system related fuses are not open (blown). Check visually for corroded, loose, or broken
connections in critical areas such as the sensor connector itself, or at the engine-to-chassis harness 14 pin connector.
Check for loose wire pins in the individual sensor connectors and at the PCM (under the seat).
The Ignition System Troubleshooting flow chart (and the accompanying text) is designed to help you troubleshoot
ignition system problems. It will not lead you to faulty or fouled spark plugs. Always inspect spark plug condition first
(and replace if necessary) when troubleshooting ignition system problems.
Be sure that the spark plugs are the correct heat range and are the specified resistor spark plugs. Non-resistor spark
plugs can introduce electrical problems due to increased Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
WARNING
Extremely high voltage is present in the ignition system. Do not touch the ignition coil, wires or spark plugs during test
procedures.
