New Bohemia, VA | ....and it came back to life. I've been on long trips with the radio playing continually and I've never had this happen before. I was coming down I-95 last night with radio jammin' and suddenly it stopped worked, literially the light went out in the display as if I turned the key off. I became cocern that the bike was shutting off but it nevered hiccuped once nor did the lights go out anywhere else. Just as it went off, with-in 2 - 3 seconds the light displays comes back on in the audio off mode. I turned back on the radio and keeped on going without any further problem. Has anyone experienced this little hiccup? |

LaPorte,Tx. | I have heard this litle ground wire connection can cause a lot of issues if not tight or have some corrosion on it. Easy to check, KevinX would it be good to put some electrical connection grease on it?

Ruskin, Fl | Mine never did that till I started using an iphone/ipod. Doesn't do it often but it does freak out once in a while now with the iphone connected. |

So Cal | I finally found a dealer that has convinced Victory to send me a new radio without having to leave the bike for weeks (I ride everyday). Everything works except the display reads !!!!!!!!!. Not saying where I heard it, but seems early production VIN's have a history of radio problems. I understand these things happen with first year bikes. I cant understand Victory dragging their feet with repairs. I have been a tech at new car dealers for 33 years. We give the radio repair facility the part number off of the radio, the send an exchange unit. 2-3 days tops, the owner can take his vehicle till the new unit comes in. |

Scottsdale AZ | Yes the early Vins, mine included, had problems that effected the radio, tach, speedometer, and other electrical stuff. Victory replaced mine and I have had no problems since. This goes back over a year ago and there are some threads on the issue. |
