Like others said, run a higher rpm. Vics prefer that. 3k. What you're feeling is gear lash. A timing wheel may help. I know it did on my Vision.

an underdrive pulley will help greatly

cause there's nothing in Australia

@Motorbikerx @Rags @Obi Steve @Old-Gramps got any leads on where he can find one

Thanks owl, could you please explain what an underdrive pulley is. Is this an expensive fix and can it be done at home or does one need a mechanic. Thanks

 

[Motorbikerx]

Hopefully someone may know where to buy them in America, cause there's nothing in Australia

There's a wrecker in Dubbo who sells stuff via eBay
I've bought a few things off them
You're fortunate to have a tach at all,
Make sure it's correct year
Bus and Can Bus aren't compatible.
Now I've forget what you're chasing?...

 

[Motorbikerx]

Oh yeah under drive,
Get one from USA
Tach you might be lucky.
As everyone's said hold your gears longer Vics are happier around 3k

Conquest customs may still have some.
The Vic shop (Rylan Voss) has a youtube video on installation.
It's not specific to the underdrive pulley but how to reinstall the front pulley.
Yep, you can do it yourself.

You will need a shorter belt though either the Buell 1125R
belt or Dremel your swingarm axle slot to suit

Try running at a lower gear and a higher rpm. What you’re hearing is driveline lash. As has been said, quite normal on a Victory 106”.

Also practice smooth throttle control, easier in a lower gear as well. What you may be doing is going through a roundabout mostly coasting in too high a gear.then when you abruptly add throttle, you hear all the slop in the drive immediately tighten up.

Also make sure your throttle cables are properly adjusted. Too much freeplay exacerbates abrupt throttle engagement thereby increasing the sound of driveline lash.

There is no mechanical ‘fix’ for it, but it’s greatly reduced by rider technique.

Congratulations on the Judge, one of my favorite models as I love the cast wheel and chubby front tire look.

And, yea, post some pictures of that beautiful Judge or we’ll immediately accuse you of lying etc. 😄

Also, what mods has the bike had, aesthetic and performance. We really enjoy making performance mod suggestions and spending others peoples money. 😎

Exactly don't be "on and off the throttle"

Another issue I have, is the previous owner added a dedicated tachometer, unfortunately the face is black where the speedo face is white, looks odd, can you buy a white tacho decal to put over the black, just wondering.

Where did the previous owner get that tach? It looks like a Victory branded unit. Maybe whoever makes it offered it in white?

Thanks for your reply, the tacho has Victory on it 20 assuming it's a victory tacho. As for the previous owner, well just let's say, that when I got the bike home, there were a couple of issues, which he refused to talk about, so I won't get any info out of him I just need to find a white tacho face from some where.

Looks OK to me,
Can't confuse them..
Very Judge

You can smooth it out by fanning the clutch lever a little, theres an art to getting the best from a Victory, takes time and practice.

Yep you can't confuse them, for me, it's like an itch you have to scratch 😂
