What did you do to your Victory XC today?
This is just a thread to show mods/share information on mods completed on your XC. Ill get started. My wife made a decal for me and we put it on the bike and painted chin spoiler (spoiler completed about a week ago). Much more to come. Mods if this is not allowed on this, remove at your discretion.forum

I've been having intermittent starting issues for about 2 years. I narrowed it down to the start switch. You have to replace the whole right handlebar switch assy. I found a new one on ebay that was from a Polaris dealer. It was out of the original packing so they sold it as used. $34.99.
So this past weekend my 2011 XC would not start, so I figured it was time to change it out. I'm envisioning having to loosen the throttle cables, remove the fairing...etc, etc.
It literally took 30 minutes! The throttle cables just unsnap and are able to slide up into the housing enough to disconnect from the grip, and you can access the cable connection right behind the headlight. 30 minutes!
The old switch had a lot of corrosion on it, probably from my trip in 2017 riding through pouring rain several days in Oregon. In the future I'd probably spray some WD-40 into that the housing around the switch if I rode in heavy rain.
anyway attached is a pic of the old switch.

The right passenger floorboard wouldn't stay up and had a lot of play. I took it apart and found that the plate with holes for the spring-loaded balls was too worn. So I made a new plate out of a piece of steel and replaced the stock pin with a 8mm shoulder bolt and Nylok Nut. The new shoulder bolt was about .008" larger than the stock pin which took up most of the play. It looks good and will be a lot easier to take off in the future. T

Pulled the tank to clean/recharge the air filter and changed the spark plugs. I destroyed one of the wires pulling it off the plug, so had to order a new set from Witchdoctors. The old plugs were iridium with about 40k miles on them. The gap was about .060 so it was time. I just put the stock NGK plugs into it. Look at the rust . I think the stock wires held water down in there not allowing it to dry up. Once I get the new wires I'll definitely use di-electric grease to aid in pulling the wires next time.
