| Wondering if anyone has removed their front tire from Vision and where you found tool used to remove axle, it looks like a very large hex wrench like an inch or larger, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks |

New Bohemia, Va | PCNova - 5/8 hex you can get from Sears or other fine tool retailer. - metric = 16mm but you won't find that easily like a 5/8. |

Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | I went to my auto parts store to buy one and the guy at the counter said I could borrow his. He went home for lunch and I picked it up a few hours later. I love living in the Midwest! |

New Bohemia, Va | I've actually replaced both my rotors. The front was replaced under warranty because the rings were rusting, looked hideous. That was at around 5,000 miles I think. This one has many miles on and it has lived its life and should be replaced, but I've not had any warpage. It may have traveled at warp drive a time or two though.
The rear was replaced around 30,000 miles or so, don't remember, but the rings were so worn that the rotor was loose and getting more loose everyday. It would get so hot that it blued, but never warped.
It's not beyond my thought though for these to warp under the right conditions, even though I use the front brakes more, I only use them when necessary. Check your calipers and make sure one is not sticking. |

| I think the poor brake pads that victory puts on the bike cause the rotors to go heat up an go away.
A good aftermarket pad like ebs would pro long your rotors. Reason being is you don't have to pull as hard on the brake to stop. |
