2008 VICTORY VISION Fuelpropulsion System Problems

STARTED SMELLING FUEL AFTER FILLING UP, STEADLY GETTING WORSE OVER THE MONTHS, DEALER SUGGESTED REPLACING FUEL CAP WHICH I DID ( I NOTICED WAS UPDATED WITH A BETTER SEAL). AFTER REPLACING IT HELPED A BIT. AFTER CHECKING CLOSER NOTICED THE FILLER NECK ON THE TANK IS VERY THIN ALUMINUM AND THE SURFACE IS DEFORMED NOT ALLOWING THE CAP TO SEAT PROPERLY.

HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH REAR BRAKE FAILURE. REAR BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND DOES NOT ENGAGE THE BRAKES. NO LEAK SIGNS OF ANY FLUID. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH VICTORY MOTORCYCLES AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON LINE. WWW.VISION-RIDERS.COM. I HAVE HAD MY BIKE IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WITH THIS ISSUE. THE BRAKES WERE BLED EVERY TIME THE REAR BRAKES FAILED. I WAS TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET, A BLACK IN COLOR CHEVROLET TRUCK HAD PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED BY FRONT AND REAR BREAKS. WHEN I APPLIED MY REAR BRAKES, THE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I DOWNSHIFTED AS FAST HAS I COULD IN ORDER TO AVOID STRIKING THE VEHICLE. VICTORY DEALERSHIP STATED THAT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN PUT OUT BY VICTORY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR EVEN KILLED. THANK YOU. *TR

THE GAS FUEL GAUGE JUST STOPPED WORKING. FIRST IT STARTED TO READ WRONG THEN IT JUST STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. THIS HAPPENED AT ABOUT 35,000 MILES.

I WAS DRIVING MY VICTORY VISION AND MY FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. I HAD A ALMOST FULL TANK OF FUEL AND THE INDICATOR READ LOW FUEL. I WAS ON A LONG TRIP FROM OHIO BACK TO THE NORTHERN VIRGINIA AREA. AFTER A ABOUT 100 MILES IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN. NOW IT WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY AT ALL MOSTLY READS LOW FUEL AND THE FUEL DICTATOR LIGHT IS ON IT WILL GO OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS ONLY. NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE FUEL TANK. SO YOU CAN NOT READ THE FUEL GAUGE AT ALL. THE GAUGE THIS ALSO EFFECTS THE MILE INDICATOR AND OTHER ITEMS ON THE FUEL SYSTEM GAUGES. THE LIGHT STAYING ON IS ALSO DISTRACTING. THE SYSTEM IS ELECTRONIC SO THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. VICTORY REALLY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE....
