Victory Recall - Blockhead_imp - 05-02-2014

This is weird. Don't ask me why but I happened to check out the Victory Forum this afternoon just for the heck of it. The members there are all freaking out. It seems that most of their 2014 bikes with the 106 engine that were built the last few months have been recalled.

They are saying the crankshaft clearances are faulty and the engine can seize at any time without warning! Victory, to their credit, is scrambling trying to inform all buyers through whatever means possible telling everybody to stay off the bike and have it trailered to the dealer for service. Most of these guys only have a few hundred miles on their bikes and are pretty upset.

I guess this is a good reminder for all of us to remain vigilant in doing research and checking every so often to make sure everything is kosher with our bikes.

Why did you happen to check out the Victory forum, eh, huh?

Ummmmm.....Angel I don't know

Seriously, out of boredom I always read about other bikes on their forums. Great way to become informed...

Boy..that's not good. Poor Victory guys, that would be some rough news to take at the beginning of riding season. I imagine the Harley guys will have a field day with this.

I was only playing on your opening comment. Man I don't care what websites you check out! Shy

I'm not your wife! Wink

A thread is not complete without pictures:

Here's a used Victory sitting out front with other used bikes at a local dealer. Poorly framed using a cell phone in sunlight.

Lol I was at a Victory dealer on Friday. I really wanna say I'd get one over a Harley, I really do. But image-wise, they're not there just yet. This recall doesn't make things any better for them lol
