Had Lloyd do his thing today.
First issue was the IAC Valve. I had it close but he fine tuned it.
My priority was throttle response. Set it for no lag but a little cold blooded.
Need to give it a very little blip at cold start up to let enough air in.
Which to me is better than the lag from having too much air riding all day.
Then for the new ECU.
This thing is a gem. He reprogrammed it so first and second gears are much more to my liking.
Plus not having to shift so early makes it a lot harder to play tag with the rev limiter all day.
Bike is running like never before. Plus went from 40MPG to 48MPG on the ride home.
My wife even commented that it sounded smoother when she heard me coming home today.

AMEN to that.. did you know that ONLY on the SSG visions if you lift the glove box door there is a hidden push botton... and then hit your Horn 3 times fast it activates the Victory Performance N.O.S. they only did this in 2008 and ONLY on the SSG models.. it reminds me of the movie back to the future where he had to reach 88 mph.. kinda like that but different..

I think Rick has, and has had, the highest numbers of anyone with the cam setup.

I wish the big bore kit had worked out last summer.
122/125 with stock rev limiter then, one would think 130 HP with that set up and 6,400 rev limiter.
UMMM, maybe someday we will try that again. But for now, I am very happy.

I thought Lloyd was close to being done with the big bore kit. No?

Found an issue with the new program today. I hit second with my son on the back and up comes the front tire.
A little surprising at first. Before this, when taking off aggressively, she would get light in the front.
But today she came all the way up with not a lot of prompting.
Something to pay attention for. The problems we face.

Actually SSG stands for Space System Group, which therefore by they named the Victory Vision Pilot Program. So all you other colors are still grounded! LOL

BLAH BLAH BLAH, that's all I ever hear. Everyone thinks their color is the fastest.
You guys need to grow up and figure out why they only made 100 Antares Red bikes.
It was because the rest of you could not handle the speed!!!!!!!
Victory was just trying to keep the masses safe.
