Great video! Both my 2016 Vision and 2016 Magnum needed new fuel pumps under 10,000 miles. I bought them used and the previous owners didn't ride them and let them sit with ethanolated fuel in the tank for extended periods. Filter degraded and the pump sucked in the crap. Not Victory's fault but cured my issues.
Great video -- the content is extremely useful and the production values are very strong. Rylan does terrific work. He put an '05 engine and transmission into my 2000 Sport Cruiser and has done other work on my bike as well.
He did Torque Tubes, Lloyds Timing Wheel, Power Commander and dyno on my 13 Vegas in 2015. He's an awesome guy and my bike still runs perfectly in 2021.
Thank you Rylan and Gabe!! Great Video, I and many really appreciate your time and extra effort to help us with our Vic's. I have called you a few times with dumb newbie questions..... you are always patient and very helpful... That means a lot... So after 60,000 miles, when I needed Professional help on my 12 year old sick Vic, without hesitation I trailered my VIC 300+ miles to Desoto Iowa, to your VIC shop... You guys are great! Thanks again!
Great video! I just got my virtually BRAND NEW 2016 Victory Hammer S a few days ago and have already put almost 450 miles on it.. nice to have a resource like your videos available! Hopefully i won't have a no start issue for a long long time.. *fingers crossed* lol
For me as a driver in Germany a great and useful video. Just as all of your videos. Until my dealer there are 110 kilometers. And victory workshops there are not many. Until now I never had problems with my 2014 Hammer 8 Ball, but I'm glad about every piece of information that can help me if what should be.
Thank you very much for this video I just bought a 2008 vision with 8500 on it. When it's cold, it seems to lope like a Harley. And when I'm driving, sometimes it seems like it's bogging down, it might be the Intake boots you mentioned.
.. wish you guys would do a tutorial on the drive belt tighten and adjustment, especially the adjustment to center the belt on the pulleys which is next to impossible to achieve. Thanks for the great videos.
Great Video, nice of you to share the differences in generations of the Victory. I am a long time BMW rider that purchased a Cross Country Tour. Thanks
Excellent video! Nicely done. I am a proud owner of my first bike, a 2011 Victory Cross Roads :) I wish I had your shop a lil closer to home tho, I'm from Ontario Canada.
Popping at Idle, found a split idle air valve hose. Ordered new valve and hoses. Any vids on replacing that? Yeah i short bumped the starter last winter. Duh me. New sprag and starter clutch. Ditto on the warm up! My 2013 turned 97k last week. After I fix the IAV should hit 100k by winter. Thanks for the vid! Ride on Raylan!🍻
Great video, just what I was asking for. Thank you. Too bad this video didn’t come out 3 weeks ago, LOL. My engine and dash would cut out sporadically, took bike to dealer….turned out to be circuit beaker problem.
Excellent video and very informative. Keep 'em coming. However, please do away with the dramatic "video lighting" and turn on some shop lights so we can actually see what is being discussed. Thx
Hey guys. I had just bought a 2011 victory vegas 8 ball 6 speed and fell in love with it. I am a auto mechanic by trade but love to tinker with my bikes. Out of all the videos I have watched I must say yours is the most informative. My only question is do the vegas 8 balls have any common issues that I should be aware of? if so, can you do a quick clip on things i should keen and eye out for.
Agree BUT might help more people if you get them to understand diagnostic "trees" first. Your no start for instance. Why does it not start: No Crank, cranks but not Vroom? Something simple that would teach them above the "trees" or at least if nothing else, help them to talk to their techs better. And may not even confuse them when the tech/service person responds back with a question. Jerry
An absolutely great video. I have a 2014 XCT and there were things there that I didn't know. Well explained in simple terms (for me that was great) and very clear all round. Well done guys. Cheers Kym
Thank you guys it is very well made and informative video.... I like to know an easy way to change the air filter on my 2012 Cross country tour, this time i would like to do it myself.
Excellent info Rylan! One question. Is there another Flasher Relay, maybe one from a car, that will work to test the relay under the right sidecover? The Victory one is kinda spendy. I'd like to add one to the tool chest but would rather spend the money on a $5 one.
I have an issue where my 2013 Boardwalk fuel pump won’t prime. After watching this video, I tired the blinkers and found that when attempting to use them (key on, in run mode, in neutral) the engine relay would buzz. Seems like also need to replace my led flasher relay. What I don’t understand is why the flasher relay affects the main engine relay. Also, the fuel pump will intermittently work, o noticed it would come on sometimes when I pull the clutch. Pretty wild.
My voltage raider blew out on my 2009 Vegas jackpot, I put a new voltage regulator on it but it blew the fuses and some other things the fuel pump comes on and the bike will crank.
Great video, I have a 2012 highball and it's starting to idle rough once warmed up and stalls when pulling in clutch when coming to a stop. It'll also sometimes get stuck at ~1200rpm idles when stopped. Thought maybe I need to clean the throttle body but the airbox doesn't come off. How can I get to the throttle body?
Hi Rayland the belt drive of my 2009 Vision with 31k squeakes and makes very annoying metal grinding noise in all gears. i took the bike to local Indian shop and mechanice adjsted the belt, maintenance manual suggest to replace the front sperocket and the belt drive after 30k, but new drive belt is very expensive and i can't find a new front pully. Would you say, if i replace them both the squeaking and the annoying grinding noise would go way? I thought to mention that i don't see any visual impairment or blamishes on the existing belt drive of my motorcycle. And the belt is not too tight either. Looking forward for you suggestion. Regards Frank
I had a problem fixed in the transmission on this bike and they left the ignition on backwards. now i have to squeeze the clutch together with the ignition button for the motorcycle to start. In addition, the lights that indicated the changes no longer work, I do not see the neutral, sometimes one (R) appears.
My voltage regulator failed and gave all kinds of weird readings with the volt meter. Took a a lot of looking to figure out that a $40 used part off ebay would have solved a problem that ended up costing my about $500 at the local shop after I put a lot of my own time in.
Hello guys. I have two 2016 gunner with same problem. When I stop the bike in a traffic light the iddle gooes down and engine go off. Sometimes also engine go off when we try to accelerate at first when the traffic light come green. Dealer changed the IAC valve and looks for air leaks in admision and throtle body. No air leaks detected. In mine the diagnosis indicates some trouble codes reffered to IAC valve. After change the IAC the iddle comes more regular and doesn't fall when the engine is on and the bike stoped. But while running the iddle goes down and stoped the engine when I stop in a traffic light for example. On my wife's gunner same problem before and after change the IAC, iddle fall and stops engine when you are gong to stop the bike while running. On my wife's bike no trouble codes before change the IAC. Two bikes out of warranty period. Could you help me please...?
I know it’s been sometime since this video was made , and not sure if you are still around ? I’m from Australia and looking at buying a Victory Judge 2015 model - on some reviews I read they said you could get a 25mm Longer rear shock , my question is is that a OME shock or aftermarket ? and can I tell but one . Thanks Paul
I just saw this Chanel I live in Corcoran ca do you have a shop near by that you could recommend I’m at 25,000 miles and starting to have trouble with it
I have a 2011 Cross Country starts and runs good but when engine is hot it will die when you stop at light and have to restart any thoughts on this issue
Question my 2015 cross country shut off while riding and didn't want to restart almost like it lost fuel. So I completely shut down the bike a couple of times and after about 15 seconds it started back up. What could possibly be causing that random problem? The bike only has 16k
Hey. Thanks for great video But i have problem with my Octane 2017 .My victory octane takes about 3x for it to start which it drains my battery. all the octane on forums have the same issue a starter problem,how can I check my starter when it eventually starts after 3rd try only has 3500miles and it's getting worse before one or twice now cold or hot the bike won't start only after 3rd try. Some sugestion ? Please help !!!
I got a 07 kingpin but when I bought it, it wouldn't idle but run now I got it to not idle and it runs but backfires, I need to replace the throttle boot but I don't have a high idle lever
Great video. Just purchased a used 2012 hammer 8ball. I did notice while I had the bike running the lo oil notification came on. I had let it run then turned it off to check the oil and replaced the dipstick. That’s when I noticed the Lo oil notification. It never came up before. Just today after I checked the oil dipstick. Is this normal?
Vicbuilder (The Vic Shop). Have a question, I have a 2008 Victory Vegas 8 Ball. Haven't rode since early last year, just changed the battery, went to turn the bike on, the fuel injector won't stop running. Bike won't start. Do you have any advise?
Great job on the video. Just bought my 2015 Vegas 8 ball two days ago. I'm a newbe to Victory and love the bike so far. Just can't figure out why so much smoke when I start it and why the it sounds like a valve knock at idle. The bike runs strong with good 160 compression and only 17k miles on it. Stethoscope has the noise on number two top end tappets. Is that a lifter issue? I would think the idle would be bad if that was the case. Looked like the guy never changed his oil.
Just bought a '99 Standard Cruiser (11,800 miles) and did an oil change. Fairly black oil and a Polaris filter - now wondering if it was factory oil and filter and never changed either. (Could be that previous owner bought a Polaris filter)
I'm so glad these videos are still available, I have a 08 Vegas Low and a Vision 2013.
Great video! Both my 2016 Vision and 2016 Magnum needed new fuel pumps under 10,000 miles. I bought them used and the previous owners didn't ride them and let them sit with ethanolated fuel in the tank for extended periods. Filter degraded and the pump sucked in the crap. Not Victory's fault but cured my issues.
Living in Canada and with colder weather at times I would have to agree 100% with the little throttle and preach to all who will listen. Mike
Just bought a 2010 hammer 8 ball today couldn't be happier
Thank you Rylan!! .Great Video, i appreciate your time and effort. Very helpful, specially simple procedure like starting in cold weather.
Guys, you just put my mind at ease on several questions I had on my 2014 CC. Thank you and i hope to make it to the shop if its still open someday!
Great video -- the content is extremely useful and the production values are very strong.

I trailered my 2013 Vegas to his shop from Tacoma, WA. He does great work and is a really nice person.
I just picked up a pre owned Gunner and these guys explained a lot (nothing needed yet other than oil change). Excellent video.

Just about to but a Victory and this is best informative video on items to look for. Thanks
Just picked up a 2014 Highball. Great videos guys!
Popping at Idle, found a split idle air valve hose. Ordered new valve and hoses. Any vids on replacing that?
Yeah i short bumped the starter last winter. Duh me. New sprag and starter clutch. Ditto on the warm up!
My 2013 turned 97k last week. After I fix the IAV should hit 100k by winter. Thanks for the vid!
Ride on Raylan!🍻
Bike won't start; "Right.. lets check the flasher unit".
Great video, just what I was asking for. Thank you.
Too bad this video didn’t come out 3 weeks ago, LOL. My engine and dash would cut out sporadically, took bike to dealer….turned out to be circuit beaker problem.
I've experienced the same, turned out to be loose battery connection. These bike really do shake loose the battery.
Excellent video!
Clear and concise.
Thank you!
great job guys, proud owner of 2014 Victory Jackpot.
Thank you. Alot of information presented in a short video.
Rylan and Gabe rule when it comes to Victory motorcycles 👍🏼
Excellent video and very informative. Keep 'em coming. However, please do away with the dramatic "video lighting" and turn on some shop lights so we can actually see what is being discussed. Thx
Great video guys as a new Vic owner the info is helpful
Great clip you guys, I'm a proud owner of a 2015 Highball.

Thanks Rylan ! l appreciate you redirecting me. l forgot that l had seen this tutorial.
If your car, was as delicate of a princess, as this motorcycle. You wouldn't have made the first month payment.
The video was very helpful, thank you so much.. keep up the good work....
Are you guys still around?
Excellent info Rylan! One question. Is there another Flasher Relay, maybe one from a car, that will work to test the relay under the right sidecover? The Victory one is kinda spendy. I'd like to add one to the tool chest but would rather spend the money on a $5 one.
What are the repair tools you need to replace the ignition assembly and also to remove the seat to replace the battery?
Great Video, I always look forward to your next video
Excellent. Thank you!

Anything on replacing fuel pump on 2013 highball? I’m not hearing it cycle when I turn the key on and I’m just cranking. Fuse also looks fine.
Thank you from France.

Are Victorys assembled with metric size bolts and nuts?
Thanks for a great video!!
My Cross Country would not start and I discovered that the tip over sensor had come loose. Needed to replace and secure in upright position.
Hey thanks for your video, would have any advice on an ABS light, always on?
My voltage regulator failed and gave all kinds of weird readings with the volt meter. Took a a lot of looking to figure out that a $40 used part off ebay would have solved a problem that ended up costing my about $500 at the local shop after I put a lot of my own time in.

Don't forget the Victory Cross Roads.
Great video!! Thank you!
Why would the flasher module have anything to do with the bike not running?

Hey I have aXC and the Cruise Control turns on but I can not set it. Anything I can check before I take to dealer? Great Video by the way.

Wouldn't the 08 Vegas 8-ball fall into the 2nd group as it was still the 100 cub in engine?

How can I charge the battery in my 2011?
Great video. Just picked up a 2013 highball. Stock Exhaust has no mufflers and backfires. Other than annoying, can this backfire do any damage?
Where can I find parts for my vegas 8 ball? Polaris doesn't really have anything.
my brother as a 2015 vegas 8 that keeps over heating
any suggestions not much maint info on victory
Good video;The red cross country ; what kind of hand grips are on that bike?

Left out the starter switch on the handle bar.
Great Video....thanks Mate!
Wouldn't the relay mentioned in the non start portion be a started relay, not a flasher?
Tenemos una vidctory vision que le hemos puesto muchos sensor map y siiiigue con fallos y bujias negras que puedes ser?
Great video 👍
