| This is a real puzzle to me. Two weeks ago I rode the bike and washed it. Everything was fine. Today, I was going to go for a ride and the clutch handle was completely loose as if it wasn't attached to anything. No resistance. It moved back and forth with total ease. I looked at the oil reservoir and it was empty. I looked under the bike for signs of oil but there was not any and it is parked on concrete which is white. I took the cover off and it was empty. I went and bought some DOT 4 oil and put it in. No difference. I am sure it needs to be blead but this has me stumped because there isn't any oil spots on the concrete. It is a victory vision tour. Has anyone ever heard of this? Where do I bleed the clutch? Thanks |

Pittsburgh, PA | the clutch is super easy to bleed, i did it all by my self when i had my 2008 vision. but the main question is WHERE did the fluid go in the first place and WHY....... the bleeder screw is tiny and on the Left side of the bike right behind the Chrome lower case covering (right behind "i think" the plastic." |

You might have to beed the master cylinder first before doing the hole line.

On our road trip this week we lost the clutch too. The reservoir was empty. Long story short, it was diagnosed by a Victory dealer as a bad slave cylinder. I guess these things rarely fail as it's on back order. I'll let you know how this works out. |
