New to victory, I bought my 08 KP about 5 weeks and 1500 miles ago. I must say I absolutely love the bike.
The only negative thing about the bike is the noisy drivetrain . I hear all kinds of noises coming out of the bike -- and not from the exhaust.
The bike only had 1900 miles and was completely stock except for a mustang solo seat when I got it.
Been enjoying making some changes --put on swept pipes (I know they suck for performance but I really like the look and sound), timing gear, torque tubes with iav and a vfcIII. I couldn't be happier with the performance and was surprised how well it handles, but Im having a hard time getting over the noises coming from the motor/trans.
From reading the forums it seems that it is quite common for guys coming from Hondas and other brands to be surprised at the noises but I cant help but wonder if mine sounds like the rest or if there is something wrong.
I changed the oil when I first got the bike so I know it has good oil and the right amount. It performs beautifully and has no sympoms of any issues other than the noises.
Does anyone have or know of any sound clips from other victories that I might be able to compare to ?
