Sounds like a cold drill motor - Victory Forums

Ok, anyone ever try to run an electric drill that is metal bodied and is ice cold. If so, you know that ugly screeching/vibration sound it makes when it is cold. Well, that sound is coming from my V92C on deceleration in this weeks 50* weather. Ever heard of this anyone?

Kinda sounds like a starter gear has a bad bearing.

Funny thing about Vic's is the starter gear is always engaged unlike a car or most other bikes I know of. It's basically a ratchet type thing that engages when the starter spins but just spins after the motor is started.

This why a lot, if not all, Vic's have that funny sound after turning the bike off sometimes. Not all the time; just sometimes. It's the motor turning the stater after it stops and turns backwards sometimes.

It's normal for Vic's until the bearing goes bad.

Pull the starter and check it out.

Thanks for the reply Bbob , I was hoping it wasn't the tranny that these bikes are known for . I will have that starter checked out when I get a minute. Have you ever heard an old drill do that when it is cold? Kinda weird sounding .
Didn't find anyone with tranny issues describe this sound so I am hoping it isn't that. Thanks again

What year is your bike?

Before someone rags on your for it; it's a good idea to put the year and model of your bike in your sig line if you are going to ask questions.

It is an 01 V92C , I will try to put up pics later

If I'm not mistaken; the trans issue was solved before the 2001 model year came out.

Maybe Tim or one of the other early Vic riders will see this thread and verify or correct me.

Guess I will try a different one , that one is sideways

Not sure if the Cush drive completely solved the trans issues or not . Any one know the answer or have problems with an 01 tranny? There are lots of threads on this but can't find anyone saying their 01 failed.
