Victory is a new motorcycle when it comes to the motorcycle field. For those of you that own a Victory, can you share with us your experiences?
Search around on some of the Victory forums and find info on cleaning the TBs. You need to have the bike upright and warm when checking the oil. You need to warm it up and then wait like 5min and then have the bike upright to check the oil properly.I just bought my 2005 Hamer yesterday. i shure like the looks and feel of the bike. I traded in a 2005 Honda Sabre. I have already developed a miss. I don't have a service manual yet ( and it didn't come with an owners manual) I've read about cleaning throttle bodies on Victory's but it is port injected. I don't even know if you have to have the bike upright or on stand to check the oil.
i tore the bike apart last night, or tried to. i can't get the air box out to get to the TPS to check resistance. i did notice the rubber boots under the TB's have cracks. i would of checked with ether but bike is already tore apart (mostly). i want to replace while i got it tore apart but have no service manual.Search around on some of the Victory forums and find info on cleaning the TBs.

just remove the sidecovers, seat and tank, then take the top off the tb cover and you'll see them. use a q-tip or foam brush with some carb cleaner and you'll be amazed at how much better it will run. after a few times of clening them you be able to do it in 10 mins. i do mine everytime i change oil. of course i'm a tinkerer and love doing that kind of stuff. ride safe.i tore the bike apart last night, or tried to. i can't get the air box out to get to the TPS to check resistance. i did notice the rubber boots under the TB's have cracks. i would of checked with ether but bike is already tore apart (mostly). i want to replace while i got it tore apart but have no service manual.
