Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that
may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because
the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.
What if all the systems on my Victory XL seem to be dead?

n Check that the batteries are fully charged. See VI. Batteries and Charging.

battery terminals. See IX. Disassembly and Assembly.
