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
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...
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
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?
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
" 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 !!!!
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.
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...😊
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?
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.
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!
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!
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?

I support your opinion and join! Great mechanic!
I have a question I have a 07 victory vegas 8ball.what kind of odb2 scan tool can I use?
Great Video. Looking forward to the next one and having you work on my Highball!!!!
What's wrong with the speedo and the tachometer on my 99 victory 0:31
It would’ve been nice to hear the engine running nice and smooth now instead of sputtering like you mentioned before.
Great job
On my 1999 vict 92 my speedo and tach doesnt work
moth balls on and around the bike when you store in the winter months, Mice do not like the smell
Love the green, hate the design on paint.
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?
How did it go! Is the bike still running strong?
Hell yes
Made by man
Fixed by man
Oh wow , didn’t see that coming
Your the Victory man👍

Need a suggestion for a Maximus tune for my 16 Gunner I'm in West Michigan.
I say ride to Iowa and see Rylan.
Good tip
visual inspection along with asking all prudent questions to owner, go a long way.
