Cleaning
Washing the VICTORY Motorcycle
Before Washing
1. Make sure exhaust pipes are cool. Cover each pipe opening with a plastic bag secured with a
strong rubber band.
2. Check that the spark plugs, spark plug wire caps, oil fill cap and fuel caps are properly seated.
3. Rinse off as much dirt and mud as possible with water running at low pressure. Use as little water
as possible when washing near the air cleaner or the exhaust pipe openings. Dry these
components thoroughly before using the motorcycle.
4. Clean the front fork tubes thoroughly to reduce fork seal wear and leakage.
5. After washing, remove the rubber bands and plastic bags from the exhaust pipes. Start the
engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Make sure the brakes are functioning properly before
riding.
NOTICE:
Do not use pressurized water to wash the motorcycle. Water may seep in and deteriorate wheel
bearings, brake caliper assemblies, brake master cylinders, electrical connectors, steering head
bearings, and transmission seals. Do not direct any water stream at air intakes, exhaust outlets or
electrical connectors.
NOTICE: Electrical components may be damaged by water. Do not allow water to contact electrical
components or connectors.
NOTICE: Do not use glass cleaners, water or soil repellents, and petroleum or alcohol based cleaners on the
windshield, as these products can damage the windshield.
