Terrible, I know. Sign up then go an start asking questions...
Well, gotta ask someone.
First, let me introduce myself.
My name is Robert.
Live in Greenwood IN
Just got my first Vic. An '06 Vegas!
BEAUTIFUL BIKE!!!
Great running, great sounding (I'm pretty sure it has stage 1 slip ons). mustang seat...
But havent even riden it yet! AND NOW IT's WINTER!!! Guess I got an other 3 or 4 months
OK, so now the question:
This bike was laid down (softly) before I got it. When I got it we repainted the bike, and straightened the handlebars, etc.
The bike fell on to the left side and everything on that side needed a bit of attention. Hell, I still gotta replace the turn signal lens (bulb didn't even break).
The shifter...
Seems as though it should have some sort of spring to return it to a position I can get my foot under, but it doesn't. I thought maybe it was linkage and adjusted itl. Now I can get my foot under it and shift but it doesn't feel "right". Is there some sort of spring that is supposed to be on the linkage or in the gearbox that may have come off when it was laid down? There is also maybe a 1/4 to 1/2 inch of play at the pedal. In other words it will freely move about 1/4 to 1/2 inch up or down without affecting anything and without any "spring like" resistance that I would expect. i mean play isn't always unusual but, again, it just doesn't feel right...
But I know it is a Victory, it could just be the way they are and I'm not used to it. and if that is the case, than tell me! I would be super happy to find out that I am done fixing this thing!

Thanks in advance
