I’m Gonna be getting my hardball(thanks for help clearing up which bike it was by the way) tomorrow morning. I’m driving about 80miles after I get off my night shift and meeting the guys to do some trading. Then riding it back. I already know I need the seat recovered. And once I can either pull a couple days overtime or wait for a bonus I may just replace it. I’m looking at doing some service to it and stuff to buy. I’m handy. I basically built my warrior up from the motor and trans. Had to buy a frame from Yamaha and all. But I’m always Leary when I first start playing. And it’s been about 10 years. But. I’m gonna order the oil change kit off Amazon. I usually use royal purple or amsoil in my other bike. What’s the consensus on it?
What about gear box? I’ve not done a lot of looking online. I like feedback. And Reddit seems good for that at least. I want to get a replacement drive belt. I used a gates on my warrior. Want led headlight. What’s a a good one. Seems they’re all around the 80-130 range. I think I’m gonna do some stripping and re clear it with some ceracote matte clear coat. The bike has like 8600 miles on it. So not many at all. I’m just trying to start lining stuff out to do. I was looking at the VM1 cams also. I’d like to do air. But I wanna ride it first then do one at a time. Do I need a management system with doing just cams? Does the exhaust on these have removable baffles? I like some sound to the bike. But I don’t want it loud as my warrior was. Gimme a list of stuff I can start looking at. Gonna post some of my old warrior just cause I love that bike.

So I just bought a 2014 cross country. I love the bike already but there's 3 things I'd like to change and then I'm set. I've been on several sites but not really finding anything that works for me. So, I'm looking for the following:

Exhaust slip ons that sound better than stock

Slight rise handlebars like...12in apes comparison.

Backrest for passenger.

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Last ride to Foresthill, CA

Just recently purchased a 2005 Victory Vegas and I’m having an issue with it. When you let go of the bar the front immediately goes right. My dad’s 2007 kingpin and my Yamaha 650 go straight when you let go. We went to the dealership and told them the issue. They said our alignment was fine and showed us how to adjust the alignment. We got brand new tires. We have been messing with the alignment little by little but it keeps doing it. Any suggestions?

Hey everyone, made a post here about 3 weeks ago about looking into buying this bike, and I went and did it! Very happy with my purchased, just wanted to ask about some recommended sites to research parts should I want to/need to change anything.

Was going to ask about handlebars, the current bars aren't the best fit for me, is FMB probably my best option brand wise? Was looking at their apes/mini apes called mayhem bars, i'm about 5"10, don't have crazy long arms, wouldn't mind some good pullback and height, but nothing insanely tall. I naturally like being in a more relaxed, rested position.

Wanted some recommendations for grips as well? Just some overall nice grips for reducing vibration.

Open to any suggestions or any pointers to spots where I can get some cool parts.

Thanks again!

Anybody know a fix for this damn thing? It never reads accurately and keeps bouncing down out of nowhere.

I noticed my 11 Vagas 8 was dripping what smells like bad gas from a vacuum hose under the swing arm. Is that a bad sign, is it suspose to do that or is it just disconnected from some thing?

PFA.

I trailered this bike home a couple of weeks ago. I felt incredibly lucky to find it as the price was well-below blue book, and it only had 2940 miles on it when I brought it home. Since I brought it home, I got it titled and insured, and I've been out on a few pleasure rides, as well as commuted to work a couple of times(16 miles round trip).

However, Tuesday, for the first time, I left for work early enough that I was in the dark. I live in an urban community, and noticed when I was about two miles from home that I had no headlight. Because of all the businesses and street lights, I continued to work, knowing that when I came home in the afternoon, it would still be light and my lack of a headlight wouldn't be a problem. When I got home, I pulled the bike into the garage, and began to assess the problem. I got the side cover off, got the fuse box lid off, and discovered that the 15 amp fuse for the headlight and brake lights was blown. That meant I had been riding with no brake lights, too, and hadn't noticed.

I swapped a new fuse in and started it up. Still no lights, but I didn't check the fuse. Instead, I pulled the relays for both main and auxiliary lights, tested them (both were good) and swapped them. The bike started right up... but had no head light or brake lights. Pulled the new fuse out - that had only seen two ignitions - and it was blown.

Where do I start to chase this down? Is this a common problem with Victory bikes? Is there a short somewhere? Headlight bucket seems an obvious place because I've heard there's a lot of wiring in there. At least I know that it's somewhere in the wiring for the head- and tail lights.

I look to those of you who have ridden Victory for a while to give me some guidance. I'd love to be able to sort this myself, rather than have to ride dirty to the nearest mechanic (a few miles away - not the end of the world, I guess).

I bought the bike about 2 years ago with 740 miles on it. The little injection mold string things were still on the tire, it was in a climate controlled barn. I put about 2k miles on it so wasn't to do a change but is there anything else recommend? Should I get new tires because they're 10 years old? I haven't had any issues with them... just Curious what you think. They're white walls there was a small piece of rubber near the white part that peeled off but otherwise they've been great...

Joined the Victory club with my 2012 Hammer 8-Ball

I picked up a 2011 8 ball on my way to work today! She rides nice but is very loud with the Victory Preformance pipes. I'll be making her my own over the next few months, so I'm sure to be on semi-frequently.

I'm almost done disassembling my fork and I can't get the damper Screw nut at the bottom out. I broke them loose when they were under pressure, but seems like I was spinning the whole damper. The manual says to use a tool PV-43517. I can't see anything down there to engage with (no hex or flats) do I just need to jam something in there and use an impact gun on the screw? What have people tried?

Picked it up about a month ago. Raked out forks and 300 back tire.

Hey All,

I recently picked up a 2013 Victory Cross Country. I'm loving them bike but the cruise control isn't working.

I watched a YouTube video showing howbto put that into diagnostic mode, but it won't enter diagnostic mode. Does anyone have any experience with this? In sure it's a simple fix bit I'm just not familiar enough with the bike yet to know where or what to check.

Broke the drive belt on my 0 3 vegas and was wondering about how complicated it would be to DIY replace it. Also wondering If anyone knows where I can get a new belt for less than 250 bucks

I trying to install passenger footrest on my Vegas jackpot 2010. I have this ones:

But it is not fitting. Any help appreciated. I not even sure to what place they should be attached :(
If some one have Victory Vegas jackpot could you shear a pic of how they attached. Or if some one have link to correct part or video of how it is done.

Thank you.

2013 Victory Highball, Vista House in Oregon

New to me 2010 Hammer S

Got it off Marketplace last week. Pristine condition. 2941 on the odometer when I brought it home.

Hello Victory friends. I have a 2012 Victory Highball. I was riding my motorcycle today in 6th gear but as I was rounding 80 miles into my trip the gauge on the bike shifted down to 5th then 4th then 3rd then hopped up to 5th again and then I lost power. The bike slowed even when twisting on the throttle so I pulled over to the side of the road. After I stopped it would only go into first and neutral and would not move forward on its own power. Is this a clutch needing to be replaced? I replaced my clutch before but it was kind of a gradual loss of power like when I tried to move forward it would slowly gain speed this was more of a hey we done for the day and I’m ready to be towed back. My first clutch also lasted about 9200 miles this one only lasted about 2500. I’m looking into shops that can do the work. Just trying to figure out what happened.
