Safe Riding Practices
The following design characteristics affect how you should ride the VICTORY motorcycle.
• The motorcycle is designed for on-road use with one rider and one passenger. Do not
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight rating. See loading examples beginning on page 28 or
the Manufacturer’s label located under the rear panel on the console which contains the
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and GAWR
(Gross Axle Weight Rating) information.
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.
• In the first 500 miles, operate the motorcycle according to the break-in procedures
beginning on page 108. Operating the motorcycle without following break-in procedures
can result in serious engine damage.
• Some VICTORY models include saddlebags, a windshield, or a touring trunk as standard
equipment. To maintain stability, load cargo properly as described in this Rider’s Manual
and be prepared to reduce the operating speed of motorcycles equipped with these items
as original equipment or as accessories.
