Best Quality garlock oil seals Exquisite Workmanship.How
to Change Oil in the Front Forks on a Victory Motorcycle.Like most
modern motorcycles, Victory’s line of cruiser and touring motorcycles
rely on a telescopic hydraulic fork to provide the first line of defense
against pot holes, dips and other irregularities found on the open
road. The fork is filled with a thick oil that slows the movement of the
lower fork slider as it is pushed upward. Over time, this oil will
degrade and begin to lose its ability to resist this action, creating a
rough and unstable ride. A Victory’s fork is serviceable and can be
disassembled to drain and refill the oil supply. Doing so, however,
requires the disassembly of the motorcycle’s front end, including the
removal of the forks from the steering yoke or triple clamps.
Instructions
1
Park the motorcycle on its side stand.Best Quality garlock oil seals Exquisite Workmanship.
2
Loosen the front brake caliper mounting bolts, using a ratchet and a socket. Loosen the pinch bolts on the bottom of the left lower fork leg and the front axle bolt on the left side of the axle, using an Allen wrench.

Place the motorcycle on a hydraulic lift to raise the front wheel off of the ground. Unscrew the front brake caliper bolts, then lift the caliper off of its bracket on the left fork leg and the front brake rotor. Suspend the brake caliper from the left handlebar, using a bungee cord.
4
Unscrew the front axle bolt completely. Loosen the pinch bolts on the bottom of the right fork leg, using an Allen wrench. Pull the front axle out from the right fork leg, then lower the front wheel to the ground and roll it away.
5
Unbolt the front fender from the lower fork sliders, using an Allen wrench. Loosen the front turn signal collar pinch bolts, as well as the upper and lower triple clamp pinch bolts, using an Allen wrench.Best Quality garlock oil seals Exquisite Workmanship.
6
Slip a masking tape-wrapped flat-head screwdriver into the notch at the rear of the chromed fork caps on the upper triple clamp. Pry the fork caps off of the upper triple clamp and set them aside.
7
Loosen the sealing caps on the top of both fork legs, using an open-end wrench inserted under the handlebar. Do not unscrew the caps completely at this time.
8
Grasp the left fork leg and pull downward with a side-to-side twisting motion until the fork leg can be removed completely from the upper and lower triple clamps, as well as the front turn signal mounting collar.
9
Set the left fork leg vertically in a rubber-jawed vise. Unscrew the sealing cap completely and pull the cap with the attached damping rod and fork spring as far out of the fork leg as possible. Place an open-end wrench over the fork spring lock nut and unscrew the sealing cap from the damping rod.
10
Turn the fork spring lock nut clockwise until four to five threads protrude out from the end of the damping rod. Screw a cartridge shaft tool (Victory part no. PV-47060) onto the end of the damping rod. Hold the fork spring down while pulling the damping rod upward and have an assistant remove the spring retaining ring from below the lock nut. Unscrew the tool and fork spring lock nut from the damping rod. Pull the fork spring and spring guide out of the fork leg.Best Quality garlock oil seals Exquisite Workmanship.
11
Remove the left fork leg from the vise and turn it on its side over a drain pan to empty the old fork oil. Slowly pump the fork slider to expel any oil trapped within the inner fork cartridge.
12
Place the left fork leg back into the vise at a slight angle. Pour 15.89 ounce — or 470 cc — of Victory fork oil into the top of the fork leg. Reposition the fork leg until it is completely vertical in the vise.
13
Pull the upper fork slider upward until it is completely extended. Seal the top of the fork tube with your hand, then push down on the upper fork slider and hold it in place for 15 to 20 seconds. This will compress the air in the fork tube and force out air bubbles trapped in the fork oil.
14
Slide the spring guide down the damping rod, facing the tapered end of the guide downward. Push the upper fork slider down until it stops.Best Quality garlock oil seals Exquisite Workmanship.
15
Set a fork oil level measuring tool (Victory part no. PV-59000-A) to a height of 2.756-inches. Slip the measuring tool into the top of the fork tube. Ideally, the fork oil level should be exactly 2.756-inches from the top of the fork tube. Siphon out the excess fork oil, as needed, using a hand pump. Remove the measuring tool.
16
Slide the fork spring into the fork leg, then screw the spring lock nut and cartridge shaft tool onto the end of the damping rod. Pull the damping rod upward, while pushing the spring downward. Insert the spring retaining ring between the lock nut and the fork spring, then release the spring. Unscrew the tool.
17
Turn the fork spring lock nut clockwise until it bottoms out against the threads cut into the end of the damping rod, using an open-end wrench. Screw the sealing cap onto the damper rod threads until it is lightly seated against the fork spring lock nut. Tighten the nut against the sealing cap to 20 foot-pounds, using a torque wrench. Push the damping rod into the upper fork slider and screw the sealing cap into place. Tighten the cap to 20 foot-pounds.
18
Push the left fork leg up through the lower triple clamp, the front turn signal mounting collar and the upper triple clamp. Tighten the upper triple clamp pinch to 18 foot-pounds. Tighten the bottom bolt, followed by the top bolt, on the lower triple clamp to 18 foot-pounds. Tighten the turn signal mounting collar pinch bolt to 18 foot-pounds.Best Quality garlock oil seals Exquisite Workmanship.
19
Remove the right fork leg and replace the fork oil as described in steps 8 through 17. Re-install the right fork leg as described in Step 18.
20
Re-install the front fender between both fork legs. Tighten the fender mounting bolts to foot-pounds.
21
Roll the front wheel between the fork legs, facing the front brake rotor toward the left fork leg. Push the front axle through the right fork leg, the front wheel and into the left fork leg. Screw the axle bolt onto the left side of the front axle and tighten it to 35 foot-pounds. Tighten the left fork leg pinch bolts to 18 foot-pounds.
22
Lower the motorcycle from the hydraulic lift and support it in an upright position. Push down on the handlebar to compress the front fork four to five times. Tighten the right fork leg pinch bolts immediately to 18 foot-pounds. Lower the motorcycle onto its side stand.
23
Re-torque the left fork leg pinch bolts, followed by the right fork legs pinch bolts to 18 foot-pounds.
24
Slide the front brake caliper over the brake rotor and onto its mounting bracket. Tighten the caliper mounting bolts to 31 foot-pounds. Pump the front brake lever until it feels firm, signifying that the brake pads have closed around the brake rotor.Best Quality garlock oil seals Exquisite Workmanship.
