L.I., N.Y. | This is a condition I made my dealer aware of with the cold start problem my bike still has, but I've been put off til the cold weather returns. Now the dealer has me recording the date, time, between shut down and attempted restart, temp gauge, and how many attempts to start. I was able to do this 8 out of 12 times and what I notices is the temp gauge is always around the 170 to 180 temp. and 6 to 14 minutes sit time. You can hold that start button til the battery dies and it will not start, I have not done, this usually I stop around the 12 to 15th turn over.  I let the bike sit for about 15 seconds it starts fine by the 2 or 3rd turn over.  I have asked the dealer to change the IAC valve, to a song and dance that Victory wants them to back it with data of the diagnos. off the computer when the bike is hooked up. But I don't think MY bike likes the dealer and unforunately will not cooperate with them. There are not other dealers in this area, the pure Victory dealer closed leaving us with a multi bike dealer where more other brands are the majority of sales and service. Searching  not finding not giving up  Finally no rain and I actually got to see the odometer go past 10000 miles  Off to Litiz, Pa for the $th Happy 4th and safe riding to all

Brighton, TN | You can either try and clean the IAC, I did but waiting on the cold weather. I also haven't had any hard starts since cleaning it either. Or, for 60-80 bucks buy the part and put it in yourself. The shove it back to the dealer when it is fixed. |
