Hello everyone! I’m Kent from Milford Michigan. I’m a new lifetime member of the page, long time lover of The Vic Shop! I took my Vic that I bought new (2017 CCT) into The Vic Shop back on 8-20-18 when it had 18240 miles on it. I have driven my CCT to every state except Alaska (plans of Alaska this July) (Hawaii I cheated and flew the stock cams with me, rented a bike and road around with my Vic cams in the saddle bags haha) Here’s what Rylan and Gabe (back when Gabe was still there and they were in DeSoto IA) did for me: Black Powercoat Belt Cover, Primary, Timing Cover, Valve Covers. Primary Gasket, 2 Soft Exhaust Gaskets, LSC 505 Cams, Lloydz Airfilter, Dyno Tune, Battery Tender Lead, Spark Plugs, Underdrive Pulley, Cam Cover, Primary Insert, Oil Change with filter, Electric Closeout rear exhaust, Freedom True Dual Exhaust, Maximus Victory Tuner. This was the first time I have ever been invited back to watch a mechanic work on something instead of being forced to wait in the lobby/show room. The transparency and honesty of cost and allowing me to see what they are doing on my bike was a breath of fresh air as I don’t usually let anyone else work on motorcycles I ride. The bike now has a little over 54,000 miles with only thing that I have done on it mechanically speaking is oil, tires, 2 regulator rectifiers (only one was bad turned out to be multiple wires broke in the loom of the wiring harness), wash the air filter, 1 new battery, 2 40 Amp main breakers, and 1 complete wiring harness. Obviously you are all here because you know how reliable Rylan is but I can’t speak enough about how valuable it is to have someone like him in the Vic community. I found out about this forum from Rylan when he was able to diagnose my 40 Amp main breaker issue that I “KNEW” couldn’t be the problem because I just changed it… But I ride in a lot of rain, snow, and salt so yet again Rylan saves the day! Thanks again!

Hey Mark and thanks for creating this forum. I’m Sam from Palm Coast, Fla. I’ve got two Vic’s, a black Octane and a recently purchased 2017 Gunner. Hoping to meet some like minded folks and hopefully learn a thing or two, Thanks for having me!

Hello all,
Bought my first Victory just over a week ago. I got a 2012 Cross Roads and love it. Looking forward to learning about Victory motorcycles and meeting other Victory owners.

Hey all, have owned Victory’s for the past 3 years. Still own two bikes, 08 Kingpin Tour and a 11 XC Tour. Here to learn more about these great bikes.

Hey all,
I’m Jesse and I’ve been watching Rylan on YouTube since I bought my first Vic in 2018. I had always been interested in Victory motorcycles but never could seem to get my hands on one until Polaris shut it down. I lived my 2016 Magnum so much that in 2020 I bought a 2016 Vision. Love them both and got an awesome deal on both.
I retired from the U.S. Navy in 2022 as an Aviation Maintenance Master Chief and moved home to Montana after 26 years. I decided to get a job to stay busy and ended up the lead technician at a Polaris, Can-Am, KTM, Kawasaki dealership. It’s been pretty fun and I love the work. I wish we had Indian Motorcycles but to my knowledge there isn’t an Indian dealership in the state. I’ll keep working on the owner.
I became a member of this site to have access to information on keeping my bikes healthy and also the bikes I talked my friends into buying. If I can offer any help to members here that would be great too. I love Rylan’s story of how he started at a Polaris dealership, ended up owning a Victory dealership, and then after the Vic Shop. I’m hoping to something similar myself one day soon.
Cheers,
Jesse

Just joined 3-11-24. Been watching Rylan for years. Called him 2 years ago about how to get back cover off for cam swap on My 2015 Hammer. He was great abut FREE advice. Put lloyds cams, torque tubes, variable timing wheel, Conquest Customs Ground Pounders, Underdrive Pulley, Power Commander V and My Stock Hammer turner into a “Sledge” Hammer. Tons of power and endless torque. Thanks Rylan

Been a fan of Rylan’s for several years. One of the most patient, professional, and good hearted people I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting. Thank you Rylan for this community and will be excited to bring my bike in to your shop next year!

Can’t find out anything else on how to remove this or what bolt I need to push inside of my clutch to remove the basket now, I’m at the drawing board again

You need one of these:

Well, took all that off. My clutch pads are great. Nothings busted nothing scorn. Check the transmission the chains nothing’s broken there is it possible that the shifter just shifted off and that’s why I lost all my gears cause it would pull itself between zero and 1 mile an hour, but I couldn’t accelerate all it is, it wouldn’t let me shift it out neutral I can only go into neutral
-
Check the condition of the drive sprocket’s inner splines.
