New Owner

[Skyhawk1]

HI,new owner of a 06 Uly as of today. Bought the bike from a Victory dealer in Ma. as is for parts no warranty. They didn't want anything to do with it and it supposedly has some issues.

I was told it might have clutch problem, rod bearing, or maybe bottom end problem. I haven't driven it but heard it run. I don't hear any bearing noise and I was told by one of the salesmen that rode it that it runs strong and shifts ok but has a strong vibration on deacceleration. No noises from the motor ,oil lights, or check engine lights were noticeable.

I decided to take a chance that it's worth buying without any strings attached and hope I can get it straightened out for a reasonable amount of money and have a nice second bike to have some fun on. Any ideas on where to look for the vibration issue would be welcome. Thanks.

Thanks, don't have it or pictures yet, it's still at the dealer. They couldn't find the title, folder got misplaced, but got a bill of sale. Hopeing to pick it up soon. Beers in the fridge.

very nice. check the front isolator. and if you are lucky, and that is all it is, you got a steal! Hope they find the title for you.

They can't find the title so they went to the RMV and applied for duplicate, I should see it in a week to 10 days. I rode it in the driveway, just first gear, and it feels good so I hope whatever it is is something simple. Front isolator a motormount? That would be simple enough,I'll cross my fingers.Idle is a bit low but overall it seems to be in decent shape, I think it's a keeper!

WooHoo! I think the Isolator fixed the problem, plus I got the duplicate title today also. Gonna get the thing registered tomorrow.

They are viby anyway, dealer probably just had some dip dos working there.

I'm curious to see more pictures. Is it all stock? Also curious what you $tole it for?


Bar risers & RSS, different grips appears to be the mods

As far as I know it looks to be all stock. The dealer didn't want to put any time or money in and decided they were just going to wholesale it, They took it on a trade and found the rough running vibration issue and stuffed in the back. They had it listed for 3500 before they decided wholesale it I got for 2600 no warranty as is for parts.

There's a three position switch with two different colored indicator lights mounted on the bar clamps four spades on the bottom and nothing hooked up to it. Other than that every thing looks stock. I'll try to post some more pics later, gotta go to the ins. co. and registry.
