Electrical System · at 30,100 miles · reported Jan 28, 2017
I brought vehicle in for 30k service on 01/20/17. The tech found that the gas tank was energized by electricity. Upon diagnosis they found the sharp seam on the bottom of the tank cut through the main wiring harness insulation to the bare wires energizing the tank and creating a potential fire hazard that could have been catastrophic.
Steering · at 16,500 miles · reported Aug 28, 2013
I AM writing to formally file a complaint. No incident has happened to me yet. But there is a whole lot of victory vision riders who have had a failure of the front fender cracking and wedging behind their front wheel causing steering failure. All of the vision riders are ultimately concerned and we have petitioned victory to correct the problem. They have denied. Does a death have to occur for anyone to notice? Here are a few links of lengthy discussions. Http://www.thevog.net/forum/thread/20731/rear-plastic-front-fender-design-flaw-factory-recall-denied/…

Service Brakes · at 3,500 miles · reported Feb 20, 2013
Brought bike out of winter storage, rear brake pedal goes to floor and doesn't stop bike. Spoke to dealer, said not covered under extended warranty and brakes needed bleeding. Bled brakes and they worked fine for 1 month, then pedal went to floor again. Bled brakes and they worked again for about a month. Now brakes have to be bled about every third time it's ridden. Did online research and discovered several people were having same issue and appears to be a defective brake line letting air in to the system as that fixed their problem. Reviewed extended warranty and can't find anywhere in it…
Fuel System, Gasoline · at 100 miles · reported Aug 25, 2011
Defective gas cap my issue is that I smelled gas when the tank was half a tank or fuller. I bought the 2009 victory vision tour new in 2010. I could sometimes see gas around the cap on the outside due to the pressure in the tank. I've found others have had this issue due and resolved by: *reengineering the gas tank vent lines *bent gas tank filler neck due to the gas nozzle bending it. Resolved by straightening out and replacing gas cap. * replacing gas cap because of gas tank neck being stamped too thin and the gas cap not sealing correctly. I went to moms south yesterday explaining this…
