I didn't think to ask deep enough about the oil......
I know you have Amsoil in the Vision- and I "think" it shows since this bike is very very quiet and smooth compared to my 2010 XC.
Questions....
did you use an aftermarket oil filter on the bike- or just the standard victory part?
I know you went through one oil change using standard vic oil- how long would say until you noticed any possible difference between that and the Amsoil?
I have an oil change kit that one of my buddies won at a Demo truck tour day so I may use it and see what I do or do not notice...
any other tricks or things that I should know?
also- I dropped off the planet for a bit due to work emergency, but I should be back to the real world now- and your net is in the mail!
And again- thank you Frank for such a smooth and professional transaction- you were very, very awesome and I hope it comes back around to you on your future bike buys!

I have an oil change kit that one of my buddies won at a Demo truck tour day so I may use it and see what I do or do not notice... Won one myself a couple of years ago. Put it in my Hammer, when I rode the bike a couple of days after the change, I thought there was something wrong with the bike. Then I remembered it was the oil.
any other tricks or things that I should know? Warm the bike up before you change the oil.

I realize this may make me sound a bit retarded so bear with me....I'm going to try AMS oil for my next change and I see they have no 20w-40 but that the 10-40 (according to AMS oil) is okay for the 20-40 air cooled motors. I just wanted to make sure before I buy that I am looking at the right stuff. Thanx

and Syd has over 100,000 miles on hers using Vic oil? I will say this again (and probably again) I am not saying Amsoil is bad I just wouldnt feel comfortably recommending it.
you could always use a 15w40 flavor as well that's a 'diesel' blend. I'm not saying I do it because personally I think Amsoil is just too expensive and little harder to get a hold of.
Amsoil is coming out of the Vision and Vic oil is going in today...
Mainly for self education and because I have a free vic oil change kit on hand... we have a 500 mile weekend planned this weekend so this will be a perfect chance to compare!
I hated how loud my XC trans/engine whine combo were so if moving off of amsoil makes the Vision sound like my XC did- i'll punch myself in the crotch. And promptly put Amsoil back in.
