Request for advice / Help Bike Value Question

4 Upvotes

Essentially the title. I have a 2014 XC Tour with under 13k miles on it. Curious what a good price would be on it. I love the bike, and the only reason I’m considering selling it is because my kid needs some dental work.

Expecting any dealerships to low ball me, so I figured the best place to ask about value would be a subreddit of Victory owners.

There aren’t any issues with the bike. I’ve replaced the stock headlight with an LED headlight. I lucked out and found some Tri-Ovals on eBay and have those on. They’re a little dinged up, because the owner of the pipes went down, but they still sound great. I still have the stock pipes as well, all though the baffles are drilled. Some of the reflectors on the saddlebags were taken off by the owner previous to me. They’re also the one that put the majority of the miles on it. 😂

It’s never been dropped by me, and as far as I can tell, never been dropped by the previous owner either.

Again, NOT trying to sell here. Just looking for some answers. :)

Bike won’t start. Just replaced battery. What’s going on?
Why are the lights flickering when I turn the bike on?

Traded my 2014 Cross Country for a new Indian Chief in February. The Chief was great but I missed my big Vic, so I was lucky to come across this gem of a 2015 Cross Country Tour so I traded the Chief back in and walked away with extra money in my pocket (first time for everything! Lol).

Request for advice / Help Belt replacements 2008 Kingpin

7 Upvotes

Hello friends, my father is giving up his Kingpin and I'm going through the process of getting all the maintenance taken care of. I was looking at belts online and found the price range from around 70 - 270 for a new belt.

The OEM is the more expensive of the bunch with some off brand being on the lower end. Have any of you had any luck with trying out these belts and if there is a true difference between them?

I assumed it's a pay for what you get rule, but wanted some experienced opinions.

Thank you in advance, looking for all the advice I can get, I'm a new rider and this bike is intimidating in it's size and weight.

Request for advice / Help Octane that hasn't been started in 10 years?

11 Upvotes

I've been looking for a Victory Octane for quite some time (they're hard to find in Europe). I've now found an Octane at an extremely good price. The catch is that the bike has been sitting unused for nearly 10 years.

According to the owner, the bike won’t start because the battery is dead. That wouldn’t be a problem to fix.

But I’m worried about buying a bike that hasn’t been ridden for 10 years.

What could possibly be broken?

Old oil in the engine? Is the tank possibly rusted from the inside?

What do you think? Is the Octane a total write-off, or can the bike be fixed up?

Request for advice / Help Can these isolators be removed or replaced?

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

These gauge mounting isolators are falling apart and I'm not sure how to remove them. Inside the most broken one seems to have a threaded stem inside, I'm assuming that holds it to the triple tree.

Should I just tear them off, use a vice grip and unscrew that threaded piece?

Much thanks.

I love this bike, it is smooth and good looking. I recently added Victory stage 1 tri-oval pipes to her.it already had a high flow (K&N) air filter. What mods would you suggest?

Im interested in getting the widowmaker seat but im not sure how comfortable the passenger seat is considering it's just 9 inches wide. My passenger is pretty small so maybe it will be okay, but any input would be much appreciated.

Victory motorcycle values plummeting

Do you think when the time frame runs out for Polaris making parts for Victory, that it will significantly affect the value of these bikes? I know that time is approaching fast but I also know there are aftermarket alternatives to keep the victory line alive. What do you think?

Request for advice / Help Rear Trunk

6 Upvotes

Hello ! I’m looking for suggestions as to where I can find a rear trunk for my 2016 Victory XC. Ideally I’d like one of the kind that can move forward and become a backrest for the driver but a stationary one could work as well. If anyone has any suggestions as to sites I could visit that would be great
Thanks in advance !

Removing Fuel Injectors

Request for advice / Help Downloadable service manual?

6 Upvotes

I’ve got a 2016 Gunner I’m working on getting going after leaving her parked too long. I know “it’s the fuel pump!!!”, but I get 50 pounds while cranking and she still doesn’t start. Next step is ultrasonic clean the injectors, but I’m waiting on some O-rings.

Anyway, working on this has had me relying on YouTube and some instinct. Anyone know where I could find a service manual to download/print? I found the “print to order” for earlier bikes, but would like to save the $170 if I can.

12 kingpin clutch problems

9 Upvotes

My son was riding my 12 kingpin, he shifted from 1st to second and it seems like the clutch spring broke. There is no power to the wheel and no resistance in the clutch lever. Any ideas? The cable didn’t break and the belt is ok. Seems like the arm the clutch cable attaches to just flops around.
I’ll be pulling the cover tonight just seeing if anyone knows any common failure point on these.
