Victory Motorcycle Basic Diagnosis Pro Tip #2: Visual Inspection

Don't miss the forest because of all the trees.

[@timothyelkins1365]

" Its a machine- made by a man- anything is fixable" Ryland, your approach to trouble shooting is spot on!!!! Thank you for great no non sense videos. Thumbs up !!!!

[@dmitreykudashev4458]

I support your opinion and join! Great mechanic!

[@vicspeed1068]

Fantastic Advice! When I was a young(er) Maintenance Technician starting out, this ole boy told me... ALWAYS K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid! The visual inspection is the most important simple step. Thanks Rylan

[@Ben-gy4cx]

You're a good mechanic Rylan!

[@JL-es2ge]

Great Video. Looking forward to the next one and having you work on my Highball!!!!

[@JmGuTe]

First thing my teachers taught us in community college for automotive K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid because the simplest reason/explanation is most often the correct way to fix things. Your closing statement is perfect and 100% true! Keep up the great work!

[@TheR1200clc]

Thank You for posting this. I knew that mice will and have done damage to automotive wiring, I decided a few years ago to keep Decon in the garage. And sure enough over time that Decon disappears. I highly recommend that anyone who stores a vehicle to keep some king of rodent control in that storage area and keep it fresh!

[@jdgarris3]

Thanks Rylan, another simple yet timely video. Thanks for the over the phone help as well. Would you please consider doing a video on the rectifier/ Regulator, function and replacement?

I totally agree with Ryan,,, I had an issue and I contacted him about an issue I had with my 106 vegas 8ball and he said I can't diagnose if it's not in front of me, I explained I'm in Northern Ireland hoping he would advise possible causes to the problem that I was having with my bike, he never replied, I was left high and dry with no advice and ended up having to scrap my favourite cruiser... But on the flip side I bought with the money from insurance a 20p8m109r and a cosmetic damaged 2011 vegas 8 ball..... So win for me..... Than dude

Great Video. Looking forward to my first VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVictory :-)

[@stanleyzwerneman5152]

So much appreciate your common sense approach to repairs! I have 2009 Victory Vision...was accelerating to enter freeway and it just revved to about 5,500 rpms and slowly coasted to a stop, but runs fine...but no gears are engaging...would love your input and happy to pay for advice...😊

[@SaltyDog711]

Are parts getting harder to find now that Victory is no longer around? Just purchased a 2014 Cross Country and love the bike but have been looking for parts and was not sure if OEM stuff will be easy to find. Such as a starter etc...

[@themanbam3652]

Well Done ! That was no easy diagnosis !

[@harleynut1961]

Oh wow , didn’t see that coming

[@predatorcj885]

I plan on bring my vic to you some time this year or next I plan on doing the lloydz.com 109 big bore so I'll need a tune it is a 04 92ci kingpin

[@russrogers728]

Great job

[@ntdfmaverick]

Haha, right on, as always!!!!

[@SilnTigr94]

Hell yes Made by man Fixed by man

[@PoorGuysOffroad]

I think I figured my problem out, I put the original air filter back in and it runs a lot better. I don’t think my bike has had the stage 1 tune installed from victory for the exhaust or K&N air filter. Put the original paper air filter in and it runs a lot better now. Probably gonna throw a Power Commander V on it and get it Dyno tuned.

[@MrmultiJeep]

It would’ve been nice to hear the engine running nice and smooth now instead of sputtering like you mentioned before.

[@gregoryjohnson4319]

I really want to get my bike to your shop... My 09 Vision needs attention....

[@chuckhusselbee9418]

Good tip

[@briankimbrellsr5580]

I have a question I have a 07 victory vegas 8ball.what kind of odb2 scan tool can I use?

[@nicholasyork7055]

Hey my gear indicator just quit working. I did change my grips and hand levers. Did I not put something back right ? Or just bad timing Bike is a 2013 cross country

[@richardsmith5738]

Hey. Just subscribed. I have a 2009 victory vision and I think I'm having trouble with the flasher relay. You put out a video a while back that describes what's happening. Sometimes it just doesn't start until I fiddle the clutch. Can you tell me where that is located on a Vision? Thanks for your help.

[@kevinironside8062]

Love the green, hate the design on paint.

[@timg1856]

My Gunner will be there in a few weeks for a 116 big bore and supercharger. How much did the front wheel want to come up while accelerating?

[@GrandpaWazi]

How did it go! Is the bike still running strong?

[@I_am_archie]

🖐️😎

[@mrgreenkurtis]

I have a 14 victory cross country tour when in a corner my front wheel feels as if it's going left to right (wobble). This happens at any speed. With my bars staying straight. Every thing is tight. Have any suggestions?

[@conejosanz]

Hi I have a 2006 victory Vegas and my speed sensor fail, my question is have another speed sensor substitution or upgrade? Tnk you!!

[@davidhowe457]

I am looking to replace exhaust on a X roads. I want to keep it true duals but don't want to give up performance. Cannot find specs on Freedom Performance. Have you done any upgrades that could help me out?

[@Eastcoast_Rds]

hey man, prob getting into an Octane later this week, i'm just a little worried i wont be able to find parts for it. any advice?

[@rodsymm5810]

What's wrong with the speedo and the tachometer on my 99 victory 0:31

[@rodsymm5810]

On my 1999 vict 92 my speedo and tach doesnt work

[@jasonshoe8302]

Need a suggestion for a Maximus tune for my 16 Gunner I'm in West Michigan.

[@mikefoltynski]

I say ride to Iowa and see Rylan.

[@88711788]

moth balls on and around the bike when you store in the winter months, Mice do not like the smell
