Midlothian, Va. | After checking my front fender for the dreaded crack (all good) I was being nosy and noticed the clutch handle bolt was about half way out so I screwed in back down. Is there a nut that goes on it? Looking up under the bike I noticed what looked like a missing bolt on the back of the engine just to the left of the filter. The shinny spot is where I put my finger on it. Damn my Droid takes a pretty good picture!

New Bohemia, VA | egad, I didn't realize that you used purolator filters, I always use a supertech, $2.84 at wally world.
That is the belly button from the cord they cut when your Vision was born.... |

Now to find where the flux thingy fell off.

Green Bay, WI United States | Do the investigation, Purolator filters have the most filter media of any oil filters. More media means more filtration in my mind. I use them on both my bikes and RAM. Rebate on these filters also makes them a buy! I still use the Victory oil as I think they did a lot of research to bring us the best blend.
By the way, check your muffler bearing, it emits a sub-sonic harmonic value that will make all bolts lose in time LOL.....

| Just because there is a tapped hole doesn't mean it's missing something. Could be a bolt on spot for machining?
Ever see that 1/8" hole in a circular saw blade? It locates the plate steel in the progressive die during manufacturing. |

Otherwise this place would be boring and another is that it keeps my post count up so I could win the monthly prize.

I've been cheated out of many prizes if they were giving out them on a monthly basis. |

| <p>There is no paint there so I think its something to do with the motor being bolted to arm when painted You can get the top of the line oil filter Wix from any auto store for $6.99</p><p>If your clutch lever bolt doesn't tighten up and treads are sticking out the bottom then yes it needs a nut <br /></p>

Mt. Vernon, WASH. | Isn't it amazing that it took six exchanges on personal preferences on oil filters before someone came up with a plausable answer to a pretty simple question? Including a side trip to tooling holes in circular saw blades, so far I've never had to change any circular saw blades on my VISION.
I thought we just spent 6 months and 3500 posts hashing out which oil filter was better than the last guys idea of the best filter- |

New Bohemia, VA | not so - I answered Biscuit in the first post to his question!!
Now, we've had a few of "what's that hole for" thread as well. A lot of good answers in those, but as my mom would say "they put that hole there to make you ask questions." It works.... |

San Antonio, TX | Remember that Victory uses the same engine for every bike they make. That hole is used to bolt to the frame of bikes that have frames.

Now , now, now.......a good answer to the question....but it cuts out all the fun speculation....makes the newbies run to the garage to check thier bikes.....at least it didn"t turn into an oil thread.... |
