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 Dont ride in other motorists blind spots. Make sure they can see you in their mirrors.

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 yourmachine. Do not lend your machine to inexperienced operators.

D Ride within your skills and limits. Dont 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 con- trols.

4

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. Dont take it for granted that other motorists have seen you. Check yourmirrors and turn your head before changing lanes.

The operator and the passenger are integral parts of the han- dling characteristics of 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Protective Apparel

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 yourmotorcycle that are not approved by Victory may render your motorcycle unsafe for use and may cause accidents. This includes the removal of original equip- ment. 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 or accessories to your motorcycle.

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.

6

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 ac- cessories, 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 Owners 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)

7

SAFETY INFORMATION Loading

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 yourmotor- cycle.

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 weightswhile operating themachine canupset the han- dling of the motorcycle. It is imperative to attach cargo and ac- cessories securely. Inspect all accessory mounts and cargo at- tachments every time before riding your machine. Loose cargo can become entangled in wheels, belts, etc., and cause a seri- ous 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.

Overloading the Victory Motorcycle can affect its stability, handling characteristics, and safe operating speed. To prevent loss of control, follow these safety precautions.

8

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 aerody- namics 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 newmotorcycle 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 Owners Manual. You should also read and know the contents of your states motorcycle handbook, available at your local DMV.

D Use only genuine Victory approved parts and accessories. Use of certain other manufacturers performance parts will void your new motorcycle warranty. See your dealer for details.

9

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 attention 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.

10

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 to cause cancer, birth defects or

other reproductive harm.

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 arent likely to touch these hot areas.

The machine may fall over if parked on uneven and/or soft ground. Make sure to park yourmachine on level, firmsurfaces. 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 x 6 x 1/4) board under the foot of the stand.

Do not park the machine near flammable sources or open flame.

Engine Oil

The engine lubrication oil is Victory 20W-40 semi-synthetic oil. It is specially formulated for lubrication and cooling attributes for Vic- tory engines.

Make certain the engine oil is at the specified level. Fill with oil as directed on pages 49 and 50.

Running with low oil level can lead to engine overheating and seizure.

33

PRE-RIDE INSPECTION

Front and Rear Brakes

Before riding, check the levels of the brake fluid and add if neces- sary.

Low brake fluid levels may let air enter the brake system, possibly creating poor or non-existent braking leading to an accident caus- ing serious injury or death. Turn to page 54 for more information on adding brake fluid..

Do not operate the motorcycle if the brakes have a soft or spongy feeling when applied. This could be indicating a hazardous condi- tion that should be repaired by your Victory dealer immediately.

Make certain both the front brakes and rear brakes are working properly. Test them at low speed shortly after starting out. Refer to page 17 for component locations.

Operating your motorcycle with inadequate or faulty brakes could cause an accident, leading to serious injury or death.

Clutch

Make certain the clutch is working properly. Operate the clutch a few times and check for smooth operation and proper free-play (.080/2mm). If adjustment is necessary, refer to page 56.

Throttle

Make sure the throttle grip operates properly and check the free- play. The grip should return when released. If the throttle does not rotate smoothly to the idle position, the bike should be taken to a Victory dealer for adjustment.

Engine Idle

Before each ride, the operator should inspect engine idle speed. After the engine has reachedoperating temperature the idle speed should be at 950 rpm 50. If the idle speed is incorrect, the bike should be taken to a Victory dealer for adjustment.

Lights, Signals and Switches

Check the headlight, front position lights, turn signals, taillight, brake light, speedometer lights and all the indicator lights to make sure they are in working condition.

Check the operation of the horn switch, start switch, engine stop switch and main switch.

A throttle that does not return freely presents a serious haz- ard. Do not ride a bike with a throttle that does not work per- fectly! Doing so can lead to a serious crash.

36

PRE-RIDE INSPECTION

Fittings and Fasteners

Always check the tightness of chassis fittings and fasteners before a ride. Take the motorcycle to a Victory dealer or refer to the Ser- vice Manual for correct tightening torque.

Tires

To ensure maximum performance, long service and safe opera- tion, do the following:

Tire Air Pressure

Tire air pressure should be checked and adjusted before operating the mo- torcycle and also when a passenger or luggage is carried. Refer to the tire pressure chart below to determine which tire pres- sures should be used for different loads and riding conditions.

37

PRE-RIDE INSPECTION

Tire Inspection

A tire inspection should be performed before operat- ing themotorcycle. If a tire tread shows crosswise lines (minimum thread depth), if the tire has a for- eign object, or if the side- wall is cracked, contact a Victory dealer and have the tire replaced. Using a tread depth gauge (1), measure the tread of the tires. You should have at least 2/32 (1.6 mm) of tread.

NOTE: Most Victory motorcycles are equipped with tubeless tires and cast wheels. The Deluxe model has laced wheels which re- quire tubed tires.

It is dangerous to ride with a worn out tire. When a tire has less than 1/16 (1.6 mm) of tread, have a Victory dealer re- place the tire immediately. Brakes, tires, and related wheel parts replacement should be performed by a Victory Ser- vice Technician.

OPERATION

Safety Precautions

Thismotorcycle wasproducedwith the designated tires asorigi- nal equipment. The testing that was done to ensure stability and superior handling included these tires. The use of other tires may cause instability. Failure to use Victory original equip- ment tires could result in poormotorcycle stability and handling, which can lead to a crash and subsequent serious injury or death. Use only the recommended tire at the recommended tire pressure.

The use of tire valves and valve cores other than genuine Victo- ry parts could cause tire deflation during extended driving. Al- ways use genuine Victory parts or their equivalent for replace- ment.

Be certain to tighten the valve caps securely. Not doing so may lead to air pressure leakage during extended driving.

Never start your engine or let it run for any length of time in an enclosed area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Al- ways operate yourmotorcycle in an area with adequate ventila- tion.

Themotorcyclemust not be riddenwhen the sidestand is down.

Be certain vehicle stand is up before riding the motorcycle. If not, it could contact the road surface causing a momentary dis- turbance which could cause loss of vehicle control.

OPERATION

Starting and Warming up a Cold Engine

This motorcycle is equipped with a starter interlock system. The engine can be started only under the following conditions: D The transmission is in neutral.

D The transmission is in gear and the clutch disengaged

If the fuel indicator light comes on, check the fuel level and, if nec- essary, add fuel.

Starting Procedure

1. Shift the transmission into neutral.

NOTE: When the transmission is in neutral, the neutral indica- tor light should be on. If the light does not come on, ask a Victo- ry dealer to inspect it.

2. Engage the fast idle lever by pulling the lever towards the rider until the lever stops.

3. Turn the key to ON and ensure that the stop switch is in the RUN position.

4. Start the engine by pushing the start switch.

5. The fast idle lever may be returned to the rest position as soon as the engine has warmed sufficiently so it will idle smoothly.

NOTE: If the engine fails to start, release the start switch, wait a few seconds, then try again. Each attempt should be as short as possible to preserve the battery. Do not crank the engine more than 10 seconds on any one attempt.

NOTE: The oil pressure light should comeonwhen the start switch is pushed and should go off when the start switch is released. If the oil pressure light flickers or remains on, immediately stop the engine and check the engine oil level and, if necessary, add oil. Also check for oil leakage. If the oil pressure light still stays on, consult your Victory dealer.

41

OPERATION

Engine Break-in

There nomore important time in the life of yourmotorcycle than the period between zero and 500miles (830 km). Because the engine is brand new, you must not put an excessive load on it for the first 500 miles (830 km). The various parts in the engine wear and pol- ish themselves to the correct operating clearances.

During engine break-in, avoid prolonged full throttle operation, or any condition which might result in excessive heating of the en- gine. Read the following information and follow each step in the break-in of your vehicle.

GUIDELINES FOR ENGINE BREAK-IN

Miles Throttle Position

Notes

0-90 miles

0-1/3 throttle position

Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3 throttle. Vary the speed of the motor- cycle. Do not operate the machine at one set throttle position.

90-300 miles

0-1/2 throttle position

Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2 throttle. Follow the other guidelines in the step above.

300-500 miles

0-3/4 throttle position

Avoid cruising speeds above 3/4 throttle.

500 miles

Replace the engine oil and engine oil filter. See pages 50 and 51 for more information. Have the 500 mile service performed.

500 miles and be- yond

Avoid prolonged full-throttle operation. Vary the en- gine speed occasionally. Follow the pre-ride in- spection (pg 30) and the periodic maintenance chart on pages 46 and 47.

NOTE: If any operating trouble should occur during the break-in period, consult a Victory dealer immediately.

42

OPERATION

Shifting

The transmission lets you control the amount of power you have available at a given speed for starting, accelerating, climbing hills, etc. The use of the shift pedal is shown in the illustration on page 25.

Inadequate lubrication may damage the transmission.

Do not coast for long periods with the engine off, and do not tow the motorcycle a long distance. Even with gears in neu- tral, the transmission is only properly lubricatedwhen the en- gine is running.

Always use the clutch when changing gears. The engine, transmission, and driveline are not designed to withstand the shock of forced shifting and can be damaged by shifting with- out using the clutch.

43

OPERATION

To Start Riding

1. Pull the clutch lever to disengage the clutch.

2. Shift into first gear. The neutral indicator light should go out.

3. Open the throttle gradually, and at the same time, release the clutch lever slowly.

4. At the recommended shift point as shown in the table on page 44, close the throttle, and at the same time, quickly pull in the clutch lever.

5. Smartly lift the gear lever with your left toe to shift into second gear. NOTE: Be careful not to shift into neutral.

6. Open the throttle part way and gradually release the clutch le- ver.

7. Follow the same procedure when shifting to the next higher gear. Always shift gears at or below the recommended speeds as shown in the table on page 44.

MAINTENANCE

Spark Plug Inspection

Specified Spark Plug RA8GHC Champion

Spark Plug Gap (1) 0.040 (1.0 mm)

Tightening Torque 12 - 14 ft. lbs.

The condition of the spark plugs can often times indi- cate abnormal engine conditions. They are im- portant engine compo- nents and are easy to check. Refer to page 17 for spark plug location.

You should periodically remove and inspect the spark plugs be- cause heat and deposits will cause any spark plug to erode away its electrodes. If electrode erosion is excessive or if foreign depos- its are excessive, you should replace the spark plugwith the speci- fied spark plug.

Normally, both of the spark plugs from the same engine should have the same color on the spark plugs center insulator. The ideal color is a medium tan color for a motorcycle being operated nor- mally. If one or more spark plugs show a distinctive different color it could be an indication of an engine problem. Do not attempt to diagnose such problems yourself. Have your Victory dealer deter- mine what, if anything, is wrong with your motorcycle.

Do not over-tighten or under-tighten the spark plug. Loose- ness can cause pre-ignition because heat is not dissipated through the threads. Excessive tightness can damage the threads of both the cylinder head and spark plug.

1

49

MAINTENANCE

Always measure the electrode gap (1) with a wire type thickness gauge before installing new or used spark plugs in your engine. If necessary, adjust the electrode gap to the specifications found on page 48.

Before installing the sparkplugs, clean the gasket surface. Ensure that the spark plugs threads are clean and undamaged. It is a good idea to put a drop of clean engine oil or a very small amount of anti-seize compound on the spark plugs threads before installa- tion. Tighten the spark plugs to the specified torque value which is found on page 48.

Engine Oil Level

Use the following procedure to check the engine oil level.

1. Warmup themachine for sever- al minutes.

2. Stop the engine and wait 3-5 minutes.

3. Remove the dipstick, clean the oil off, and replace the dipstick.

4. Place machine on a level area and hold it in an upright posi- tion.

5. Check the engine oil level with the motorcycle held upright, 3-5 minutes after having been run with the dipstick screwed in and seated.

6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil level. The oil level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. If the level is low, add oil to raise it to the maximum mark.

50

MAINTENANCE

Engine Oil and Oil Filter Replacement

An oil filter wrench is re- quired when replacing the oil filter. Take your ma- chine to a Victory dealer or refer to the service manu- al when replacing the oil filter.

1. Warm up the engine for several minutes.

2. Stop the engine. Se- curely support the ma- chine on its sidestand.

3. Place an oil pan under the engine and remove the dipstick.

4. Remove the drain plug (1) and drain the oil.

5. Remove the oil filter (2).

6. Reinstall the drain plug with a new o-ring (if the used o-ring is damaged) and tighten it to 25 ft. lbs.

7. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the O-ring of the new oil filter. Make sure the O-ring is seated properly.

8. Install the new oil filter. Tighten the filter one full turn after O-ring con- tacts engine case.

9. Fill the engine with 6 quarts of oil .

10. Install the dipstick and check oil level.

MAINTENANCE

Brake System

A soft or spongy feeling in the brake lever or pedal can indicate the presence of air in the brake system. This air must be removed by bleeding the brake system before the motorcycle is operated. Air in the system will cause greatly diminished braking capability and can result in loss of control and an accident. Have a Victory dealer inspect and bleed the brake system if necessary.

Brake Pedal Freeplay Adjustment

1. Measure pedal freeplay trav- el as illustrated.

A - SportCruisert The freeplay measurement should be 3 - 5 mm (A) when light downward pressure is applied to the pedal.

B - Standard and Deluxe Cruis- ers the freeplay measurement should be 5-8 mm (B) when light downward pressure is applied to the pedal.

NOTE: No movement of the master cylinder piston should occur.

2. If the pedal freeplay is out- side of specification, loosen the locking nuts and turn the adjustment rod in or out as necessary to achieve the correct brake pedal freeplay.

3. Tighten the lock nut and verify that the rear wheel rotates freely without drag or binding.

Operating your motorcycle with inadequate or faulty brakes could cause an accident, leading to serious injury or death.

Fluid Level Inspection

Refer to page 18 for location of rear brake reservoir (2). Observe the following precautions: D When checking the level of

the brake fluids, make sure the master cylinder is level. It may be necessary to move the handlebars or stand the motorcycle upright.

D Use only DOT 4. Other- wise, leakage or poor brake performance may result.

D Refill with the same type brake fluid. Mixing different types of fluids may result in detrimental chemical reac- tions and lead to loss of braking performance.

D Do not let water enter the master cylinder when refil- ling. Water will significantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and may result in poor braking.

D Brake fluid attacks many painted surfaces and plastic parts. Al- ways clean up spilled fluid immediately with large quantities of water and mild detergent.

D A lowering of the brake fluid level is normal as the brake pads wear. If you notice a constant or sudden lowering of the brake fluid level, have your Victory dealer inspect yourmachine for the cause of the problem.

Lowbrake fluid levelsmay let air enter the brake system, pos- sibly creating poor or non-existent braking. Before riding, check brake fluid level and add if necessary.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshooting

Victory motorcycles receive a rigorous inspection before shipment from the factory. However, trouble may occur during operation.

Any problem in the fuel, combustion, or ignition systems can cause hard starting and loss of power. If yourmotorcycle requires repair, take it to your Victory dealer.

The skilled technicians at a Victory dealership have the tools, ex- perience, and know-how to properly service yourmotorcycle. Use only genuine Victory parts on yourmotorcycle. Imitation partsmay look like Victory parts but are often inferior. Consequently, they have a shorter service life and can lead to expensive repair bills or a hazardous operating condition.

76

CLEANING AND STORAGE

Cleaning

Complete and thorough cleaning of your Victorymotorcycle will ac- complish many things such as:

D Extend the useful life of many components. D As a part of the cleaning process you will also be performing a

complete and thorough visual inspection that may reveal items in need of repair that you might otherwise not find.

D Enhance the value of your motorcycle. D Extend the useful life of many cosmetic items.

Before cleaning your motorcycle, do the following:

1. Block off the end of the exhaust pipes to prevent water from en- tering the exhaust system.

2. Make sure the spark plugs and all filler caps are securely installed.

3. Avoid spraying the air filter assembly.

NOTE: Degreaser may be applied to excessively greasy areas. If you choose to use such a product, do not apply the degreaser to any cosmetically painted or plated areas. Also, do not apply the degreaser to any areas that depend upon grease for proper func- tioning such as brake and shifting pivot points. If degreaser is nec- essary in these areas, make sure to re--grease the affected areas after your cleaning is finished.

Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a low pressure garden hose.

Excessive hose pressure may cause water seepage into bearings and pivoting or sliding areas. Wheel bearings, trans- mission seals and electrical parts can become damaged if ex- cessive pressure is used.

77

CLEANING AND STORAGE

Cleaning (cont.)

Once the bulk of the dirt has been rinsed off, wash all surfaceswith warm water and a mild detergent.

Rinse the motorcycle off immediately with clean, low pressure wa- ter and dry the surfaces with a chamois cloth or clean soft absor- bent cloth.

Repetitive polishing and cleaning will accelerate the wear of your tank badge. Do not use abrasive cleaners, they will dull the finish.

To clean the windshield, wash with a clean soft cloth, plenty of warm water, and if necessary, a non-abrasive soap such as dish- washing liquid. Flannel or a soft chamois cloth is recommended.

Paint, glue residue, or grease removal: Moisten cotton with Naph- tha or turpentine followed by a wash as stated above. Apply a high quality plastic cleaner such as McGuiars Mirror-Glaze MG-17, or Novus #2, to the windshield. This will leave a protective coating on the windshield making future cleanings easier.

Storage

To prevent storage damage due to long-term storage (60 days or more), the following guidelines should be followed.:

1. Clean the motorcycle completely.

2. Top off the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add fuel stabilizer to the fuel. The machine should be run for 15 minutes or so to distrib- ute the fuel stabilizer through-out the fuel system.

Do not use glass cleaners or rain protective products on your windshield.

78

CLEANING AND STORAGE

Storage (cont.)

3. Change the engine oil as outlined on page 50.

4. Block the frame to take some of the weight off of both the front and rear wheels. (Refer to the illustration on page 78)

5. Secure a plastic bag over the exhaust outlets to prevent mois- ture from entering the exhaust system.

6. Remove the battery and charge it. Store it in a cool, dry area. The battery should be recharged monthly using a charger that uses tapering current, not a constant current type charger. This will prevent overcharging, which is the most common cause of battery damage.

Make certain the system is cool prior to securing the plastic.

Set floor jack under the center of the engine. Raise vehicle off the floor and set 2 blocks underneath the bike as shown. Set bike down on blocks.
