    My bike is been running perfect since the 1st day. I bought it in 2013. It's the best bike I have ever owned. No regrets with my victory.

    I enjoyed the video. It was insightful. However, it was really hard to hear you speak over the music. The music was too loud. If you have a way to lower the volume on the music, making it easier to hear your voice, I’d be intrigued to watch more content!

    My 2015 CCT came to me in 2023.... with only 15,000 miles. One year later the Odometer shows 34,000 miles. It's taken me and my wife to several national parks and great memories. Best bike I've owned.

    that is the most beautiful victory I have ever seen. I learned decades ago that the factory knows more than I do. I always always leave my motorcycles, completely stock in the engine exhaust and intake department. I will do things like change bars or grips or suspension components. with the engine department, I never touch..
    I worry about things most people do not. I really would have a victory, except for the fact that they don’t make them anymore. Parts supply

      @Jodyrides Thank you very much. I changed the things that made me happy or added to the performance/efficiency. I get keeping it stock, though. I am on a little vacation so, more videos when I get back home.

    A lesson you dont' ever want to learn is NEVER mess with any of the screws on the throttle bodies on the 106 motor. There is no idle adjustment as that is managed by the ecm. The throttle bodies are all calibrated at the factory with special instrument. Mess with them and your throttle bodies are permanently out of whack creating running problems.

    It sounds like you have the Guard Dog keyless ignition. If your concerned about someone riding off with your bike just reprogram the fob. Program it so you have to push
    The button on the fob to start the bike. This way you could be sitting on the bike and it
    Won’t start unless you push that button on the fob. I have the same one on my 2012 Vic CC and love the convenience it’s been on my bike for about 8 years. starts every time.
    RIDE SAFE!

    Bought a new 2013 Cross Country Tour. Couldn’t keep the compensator from rattling. Constantly rebuilding it, but it doesn’t last. Also the transmission goes into first with a massive clunk. Eventually it started popping out of first gear. The gear dogs were worn out from the massive clunking into gear. Bought a Victory Vision and it started clicking and clacking noise. And yes the compensator spring washers were worn out. Rebuilt the compensator 2 times in 35,000 miles and now it’s doing it again. The compensator is just too small for the amount of torque these motors make. Also the transmission on the Vision sounds like an old cement mixer. Clicking and clacking noises when cruising drive me crazy. Still shifts ok but I think one of the gears may have bad roller bearings. Not a well designed transmission.

    I’m not sure the head unit was the route to go, I think most just get the motorcycle amp and put quality 6.5s in.

  • @alessandrov-twin9755

    Every single guy as soon as they get a Victory, they start messing around; they go like, "oh! put that bloody timing wheel on!", or indeed "oh! do that idle valve mod!"........why would you want those bloody things, when you can buy a bloody tuner and do adjustments properly. Besides, when you have triple displacement motors like on the Victories or the last generatiion of Harley Twin Cams, how much do you really need? basically you have an average or larger car's engine just between 2 wheels! awesome!......which leads me to that "keep it below 100", can't do it, don't want to, nothing like 100 or more down the highway! and not tickets whatsoever here!.....so! if it ain't broke, doesn't fix it!

      When I had a highball, I was putting a Lloyds air cleaner on and in the process, because of curiosity, I messed with the AIV. Bad idea on my part for sure. Lesson learned.

    I had 3 Victory's, 2007 Arlen Ness Jackpot, 2015 Cross Country Tour & 2016 Magnum, sold them all in spring of 2021, they were great bikes but i got tired of hunting for parts every time i wanted to do something or add something, my local dealer was $hit and stock nothing, aftermarket for Victory was also pretty weak and getting weaker so it was great time to sell all 3 of them, ended up selling my Indian Chief Vintage in the spring of 2021, pretty much for the same reasons.
    I also had Harley's during the same time, 2009 Rocker C, 2014 Dyna Wide Glide & 2021 Street Glide, in spring of 2021 i wanted to thin the heard and sold off the Indian along with the 3 Victory's, kept the 2009 Rocker C & the 2014 Wide Glide and used some of the money to buy the 2021 Street Glide and banked the rest.
    But i will never knock the Victory, they were awesome bikes
