It's my pleasure guys. You're money is no good here my friend. Save it for some more mods! It's the least I can do for the help I've received here. I'm just glad I'm able to potentially help. Like I said, in the meantime before me or someone else gets this thing online, if there is anything specific anyone needs to know then please don't hesitate to ask. Torque specs, processes, part or tool numbers. This novel is chalk full of good stuff.

I haven't had much luck locating it through underground channels already in a digital format.
I hit a brick wall there too. You wouldn't think it would be as hard to find as it is.
I'll keep everyone posted on the progress.
 
Thanks, Kingsly. I had to at least offer for all your trouble. It's the right thing to do. Normally, I can find many things relatively easy if they are floating around on the web or by requesting/ trading in the right place. Most I can think of is either all the 2012'ers are too busy riding or too confident in the warranty to worry about working on their bikes to procure a manual. I haven't experienced any problems with my bike but I don't want to be the guy on the side of the road scratching his head, either... if one pops up.
 
I just want to learn as much about my ride as possible. With my VTX I didn't really care much honestly. It never failed me (ever) but I also didn't put anything into customizing it either. Certainly never bothered to join a forum (let alone two of them) around the VTX, etc. With my Vic it's a whole 'nother story. Thanks again Kingsly.

Not a problem. That's the exact reason I got it, to learn. At least at first. Then realizing that yes it will probably never break down, there is scheduled maintenance beyond oil changes that I want to tackle myself; fork oil, belt adjustment, etc. Good times.
 
Update:

Ok guys, I got the manual out of that damn spiral bind, punched and into a 3 ring binder. Now it's a little easier to use, and scan. I tried the scanner at my office that has an auto feeder, but it's so old it came out looking like poo. I'll try to find another and get it done.
 
2012 cr

Still watching for the 2012 CR manual.
Anyone seen one yet?:(
 
Not working

I tried many different ways, including closing IE and using Mozilla Firefox. I get weird stuff appearing, including TONS of popups from Amazon (Amazon opened 15 tabs across the bottom of my screen!)

You might have picked up some kind of adware. For Firefox; download and install Adblock Plus. It blocks most of that stuff.

Thanks, I downloaded adblock and tried it again. The Amazons no longer poped up, but when I hit free download, a youtube video opened. I am obviously doing something wrong. lol

I don't know what might be happening but when I click on a file to be downloaded I get this screen and click on Free Download as picture here.

Then I get this screen and click on Download File

Then I get this one, click on Download, and a box comes up asking me whether to open it or save it. Always save it and open it when it's done downloading.

Is there much of a difference between the '07 and the '09 Vegas? I downloaded the '07 version of the manual since I haven't been able to find the '09 version which is the year bike I have.

Thanks,
Chad
It'll be close but the 07 is an open loop EFI bike and the 09 is a closed loop with O2 sensors. If you need more info on the O2 sensors and closed loop part of it; download the 08 Hammer manual until maybe someone donates an 09 manual. Closed loop with the O2 sensors started in 08.
 
Thank you

Eureka! I finally got it to work for me. Thank you!
The one I downloaded was for the 2008 Hammer. I figured there wasnt too much changed from the 2006 model, and that was probably the closest to mine.
Thanks!!
 
2008 Vegas/Kingpin Service Manual

I am not sure if this will work, but I noticed you don't have the '08 Vegas/Kingpin/8-ball Manual. I was attempting to post some links for it, but see they are mostly from sites where you download the torrents/save then open it. Just Google:

2008_Victory_Kingpin_Vegas_8-ball_service_manual.pdf

and you will be brought to a page with tons of choices of downloads, mostly torrents though.

I got it fine, I use Pirate Bay to get it, and Utorrent to open it.
