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.
