Real happy to finally get my first Victory. Been looking at them for years and pulled the trigger on this beauty late last fall. So I have only been able to ride it a couple hours before winter set in here in western Canada. The clear film on the tank has been scuffed up, probably from the PO's passenger getting off the bike. Is it possible to polish these scuffs off or just get it replaced? Excited for spring! This is the only pic I got of it before putting her away for the winter. Enjoy reading on this forum.

Nice bike. I've always liked that color scheme.
As for the scuffs it's hard to say without seeing them. Maybe... Maybe not.

Congratulations on your beautiful new to you Victory CCT! Welcome to TheVog, you’re sure to like it here. If you could find a new oem correct color replacement tank, it could be very expensive. As @VicVisionBulldog posted about the scuff(s), can’t really say without seeing what you’re seeing.

Mine like that is still for sale. I lowered the price down to 6,500 mainly due to the mileage being off and the ABS light being lit up (simple fix) and the fact that I was keeping the trunk.
I'm surprise no one has tried to buy it.

Now why did you have to go lie like that?
Everyone in the worlds knows that TEXAS is God's country. I just wish he would start kicking certain folks out.

If that were true god wouldn’t have to rearrange the landscape with multiple tornadoes every year haha. Not sure how so many of you are soooo wrong but Ohio is god’s country & black is the absence of color meaning less weight so is the fastest

Greetings @lomax
Welcome from Eastern Iowa. Am partial to the Boardwalk Blue and Silver (have one myself!)
Congratulations on your new-to-you Victory!

Welcome from Eastern Iowa. Am partial to the Boardwalk Blue and Silver (have one myself!)
Congratulations on your new-to-you Victory!
- Below is some unsolicited and probably unwanted information.
- Check and inspect the rubber parts for your fuel system. (Connections to tank specifically; and rubber-tipped, black plastic to air box (frame).)
- Check and tighten your battery cables every oil change. They do work loose, and loose battery cables cause all sorts of weird behavior.
- Check your clutch play when the bike is cold and again when warm. The fully engaged and disengaged zones are small. Adjust when cold.
- Here is a link to the IAC reset procedure: Check Engine light/IAC problem
- Here is a link to the TPS reset procedure: TPS reset procedure
- The WIX 51356XP oil filter is probably the most used filter for our bikes. Trusted places like TheVicShop use this filter.
- Oil Drain Plug Washers: 12mm ID x 19mm OD x 1.3mm thick - copper crush washers, you can get a bag of 25 from NAPA for $6.
- Vacuum out the airbox when checking/cleaning the air filter.
- Be advised that the fuel nipple on the bottom of the tank is plastic. When unclipping the fuel line from the tank, do not torque side to side to wiggle loose. Plastic breaks...
- NGK DCPR6E are the OEM plugs and have proven themselves to be the most reliable.
- Lyndall brakes are made in the US and are far better performers than other brands: All
- The drive belt should easily last 80k miles or more. (154T, 28MM #3211107) Replacement can be found here: Replacement belt for Victory Motorcycles-BDL SPC-154-118
- The fuel pump and voltage regulator can be had from aftermarket suppliers.
- OEM fuel filters are hard to find. QFS Fuel Pump Strainer Only (QTY 3) Fits: Victory Cross Country / Touring 2013-2023 These are aftermarkets that can be made to work. (HFP-S20-3 (quantum) + 1” of 15/32 fuel line)
- Check to see if there are any uncompleted recalls: VIN Search | Polaris Sportsman or Recalls | NHTSA.
- A lot of people keep a spare 40 AMP circuit breaker. "40amp Napa Circuit Breaker, #782-3041 or #782-3116" (The difference is the mount bracket)
- Lloyd’z Air Filter for Cross bikes is a common upgrade: Lloyd’z: XC/XR High-Flow Air Filter | LLOYD'Z Motor Workz
- Rylan (VicBuilder) at TheVicShop has maps and excellent advice if your bike has a PCV fuel controller. An add-on Fuel Controller will most likely be behind the left side (shifter side) cover. TVS also has a large collection of YouTube videos on servicing VICs.
- The Lloyd’s timing wheel is a very popular upgrade. Check the gasket around the right-side engine case cover. A factory gasket is nearly flush with the case and cover. The Lloyd’z gasket is thicker, firmer, and sticks up a bit, you can feel it.
- Noe Martinez (noemtz) will perform remote MAXIMUS tunes. The MAXIMUS tune can adjust things that a PCV cannot. And without leaving an extra dangling bit on the side of your ride! Note: The Lloyd’z timing wheel is not needed with a Maximus tune. The timing wheel is very beneficial with PCV or by itself.
- CrossCountryLA is a wizard with Victory Exhaust systems, known as Ragin Cajun’s.
- Cross bikes Side Cover Grommets: NAPA part# NW784633
- Brass brake and shifter lever bushings: $12 https://www.amazon.com/CICMOD-Bushi...fix=victory+brass+bushing,aps,119&sr=8-3&th=1
- Clean and lube the clutch cable ends and the pin in the clutch perch at every oil change. Just the ends, the cable is lined don't put any lube down it.
- Download the manuals from: MediaFire
- With proper maintenance these machines just keep going.
Ride safe,
Smokier
Thanks for all the welcomes, tips and opinions on fastest colour. Pretty sure the color on mine is sonic blue. Has the metalflake in it. Pretty sure Gods country is right here in the southern interior area of British Columbia. Awesome riding here in the mountains. Just sucks winters are so long. lol
