Example complaints

Brakes: “The rears brakes on my Victory Vision are working correctly the pedal is going to the floor. All of the pads are brand new. I have bleed the brakes two times they work better then stop working and the pedal after about 45 miles starts to go back to the floor. I have also read that many people are also having the same problem with Victory Vision rear brakes on their bikes.”

Body and structure: “Riding 2 up at 25mph when steering locked up. It was determined the plastic rear portion of the front fender broke of and lodged into the engine cowl locking up the front tire. Victory had no recall in place so I had to buy another fender. I later had a steel fender made after reading of other incidents of the same nature.”

Fuel system: “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. …”

Steering: “Luckily for me I was parked. While washing my Vision I noticed the rear section of the front fender was broken & dangling. I removed the piece so it didn't fall off while riding and get wedged in the tire. I have been riding the motorcycle with the front section of the front fender only. It has four bolts holding it on. This morning 7/30/14 (29,700 miles) I heard a rattle while exiting the freeway. The left side has cracked completely loose. Again luckily I was only 2 blocks from work. Now I don't have a front fender on the motorcycle at all.”
