The only thing that I've read about any kind of oil leak is on Street Glide. com. in the 2017 StreetGlide section where a few people have noticed an oil leak from a line coming form the oil cooler "Was in the garage looking at my bike and noticed oil on the floor. A few four letter words later I got under the bike looking, oil all on the bottom of bike, I can see where its coming from, its on the right side, its a line running from the motor to the oil cooler. This line has a rinky dink spring clip holding it on, why would anyone put a clip like that holding an oil line on! I have an appointment for my 1000 mile break in service tomorrow. Haven't even made the first payment, soooooo frustrating on a 25k motorcycle" and "My 17 street glide special leaked in the same spot they said it was the oil cooler check valve and the crank sensor o-ring they replaced the o-ring and had to go back 5 days latter when the check valve came in .It started leaking worse after the o=ring took it back for the check vale and haven't seen a drop of oil since . I thought it was the oil cooler line as well it hooks directly to the check valve . Mine had 610 or so miles on it when it started leaking got 920 now so far so good."
I have a 2016 Victory Cross Country Now that Polaris shut down Victory are you still going to be a victory guy I ask because I'm a little disappointed that I bought a brand new 2016 victory and a couple months after I bought it they shut down Victory I'm kinda embarrassed to own a victory now what's your opinion
i know a Harley salesman and he told me his dealership has replaced 2 engines less than a month after they came out
Another reason to not buy a Harley! They have always been known for engine problems and yet people buy them like they are the best thing. People shouldn't buy the brand, they should look for a reliable American cruiser.
Your an idiot ! Not one thing you said can be confirmed. How's the resale on your Victory ? LMFAO
My 17'treet Glide Special has been fabulous so far. Only 1,832 miles to date though. It belched some blue smoke every time I started it cold for the first 100 miles or so, since then it's been super. I sure like the 107 better than the 103 on my 16' RGU, throttle response is impressive.
I have rode them all. The new Indian Motorcycles are by far the best.
Just my 50 cents worth.
Harley will never get any of my hard earned money.
I remember the last Nortons. Everybody wanted bigger Brit Bikes. Well, the main bearings went out under a 1000 miles. Norton did not stand behind their products like Harley does. By by Norton
I personally know of 2 friends with brand new Harley's this has happened to !! one bike the motor went bad at 1800 miles , the other went bad at 1200 miles !! Harley had to replace both motors on 2 brand new bikes !! No Thanks I will not buy a new Harley until they work these bugs out !!
3000 miles on my FLHTK limited Zero problems Haters gonna hate.
H-D 88ci twin cam carbs engine is the best v-twin ever
Ok, so they had some poorly machined oil pumps. But that does not make them ALL BAD.
My 2017 Roadglide is nearing 7000 miles on the OD and have had "0" issues. Just saying.
I have two friends who purchased new M8s recently and BOTH had oil pressure problems and one of those got a new engine. I have a 2014 Street Glide with 14k and it's already got a bad compensator along with multiple boom box and suspension issues, I'll never buy another.
How do U like your Victory?
This guy is riding a Victory worrying about the Harley Davidson brand mean while Victory went out of business and Harley lives on. #irony
I have 4300 miles and have not had any problems with my M8 so far. Have a friend who has a 2013 Street Glide had the same problem at 3000 miles.
5200 miles on mine no problems, I have many friends same motor no problems. I have herd about this but not a wide spread issue. They will get it figured out.
The motor that has problems is the Thunderstruck 111 it's already had two recalls both of them have to do with it Catching Fire LOL
Good luck selling a Victory or trading it in down the road.
Victory just bit the dust. I'm glad I bought a Harley Street Glide Milwaukee Eight.
You sound like you are totally bullshitting.
Why is the horsepower so low on H-D's? I thought the new motor would make well over a hundred h.p., well it doesn't. They are not only slow, they are also unreliable, but at least they're expensive. My 'Busa may be a rice grinder, but she hauls-ass big time!
This guy is an asshole..
Site your sources…
looks like Victory got replaced.
No problems with my M8 engine.
BS !!
V-beast the new Milwaukee 8 heads look like a cheap imagination of the "Freedom 106" and because Victory bike were kicking H.D.'s ass all day every day on the track lol!!!
Rock on V-beast keep the videos coming bro. and speaker about what's on your mind.
Idiot.
SMFH I bought a 2017 SGS and I put on 5000 miles in 3 months and have not had one problem . Maybe you should drive more on one before you make a judgement ! Good luck ever selling a victory these days.
I used to own a victory , the only good part was the engine , never get neutral , prime big noise , drive belt noise ,wind buffeting big problem , heavy on the steering head , saddle bag keep opening , lifter noise the dealer would not repair , after two year of trying to repair the bike I got to sale the junk and that was hard to sell . how the Harley road glide is a great amount of fun to ride and none of the victory problems SO GLAD VICTORY IS OUT OF BIULDING THAT BIKE tested the MILWAUKEE two times no problems and a great ride get the victory rider of this site
I'll stick to my 16 street glide. I love it.
Every time someone asked me if I've seen the New Harley I always tell them not since I hit second gear. 😎 . 2013 Vegas 2017 Magnum X1
You ass hole keep riding your Victory, you wish you had a Harley
HA HA HA THIS GUY SUCKS!!
It may outlast Harley junk but it is still discontinued. All in all who cares what you ride just ride. Are you really that insecure. All motorcycles are badass. Having to bash other brands to justify your purchase? Parents must not have shown you enough attention when you were little.
Harley will sell you junk and charge you to fix their problems and the workers will trade your good parts for their bad parts.
Here we go ,Harley is now having problems with oil lines spilling oil on rear tire, WOW, kill me Harley !They have a recall on 57000 bikes.
Harley builds bikes without testing ,GGGG. What a rip off company with their high priced shit !
I have a 2017 Road Glide SP. And I love it . Runs strong and no proublems. I had to changed the pipes to get the right sound.I have had 4 Harles In the last 45 years and each one better then the one before. I do take care of my bikes and they were all good and strong running . Ride what you like enjoy .
You Harley haters have too much time on your hands , shut up and get a life .
why is it we don't see any Harley guys making tons of videos saying how much they hate other bikes ? ,,,Oh ya cause NOBODY fuckin cares !!!!!!!!!
The problem with the new M-8 is a simple fix once Harley was aware of the problem which is an oil hose pinch clamp that was not made tight enough on some of their 2017 line-up and this caused oil to run out where the hose connected to the oil cooler and some owners were unaware of the leak until the oil had run out causing the engine to over heat and freeze up. Nothing wrong with the new M-8 motor, just a simple clamp which all of these clamps were tightened by a workers hand and those were the ones that had the problem, he was not using his tool correctly to crimp the clamp fully…….
"Blow-by", or engine puking oil out of the carb/throttle-body and air filter, is usually caused by filling a bike with too much oil i.e., past the high level mark. Expanding and over-filled hot oil simply finds the easiest way out. This can happen to ANY brand of bike, if over-filled with oil that gets too hot. It's better to stay between the Low-High oil marks.
really you did a video to bash the new EPIC M8 , its ok your stuck with your Victory LOL
I like harleys but probably worse bike ever made.. only sportster is well made.. every v twin I ever owned was a money pit only sporster reliable.. japanese and germans make best bikws but jap bikez are all freakin plastic and beemerz built it seems for guys at least 6'4.. can't speak on Indian or moto guzzi.. guys Have say pretty nice and happy with them and they look goid.. victory same thing but jeez they are ugly.. that jetsons look just never appealed to me… to be honest the evo design by harley was the most reliable but emissions laws keeos pushing them to mamw these crazy new motors… harley just has to accept the inevitable and go water cooled… I thing a traditional hog with a 124in vrid engine would be cool.. nice little tight water cooler up front between down tubes and would look great
I'm sure you have something to say. Fix the audio and maybe I'll try watching again.
Heyyyyy. You were riding through Pearland. Just past the Sam Houston Tollway in the beginning of the video. Technically it was Monroe and you stayed on it until it turned into Pearland Parkway. I live another exit away from there and was interesting in getting into motorcycle riding. Want a HD Street Glide or Road Glide.
I have a 2011 103 utlra classic ,that my wife bought for 40th birthday , she has 50000 miles on her no problems what's so ever, so victory guy keep talking shit about a legend when your discontinued Victory is no more.
I ride a Kawasaki Harley's are cool the recall was just tiny crimp clamps on oil lines the M8 is the shit someone fucked up on the crimps which can cause or caused a few crashes and or the engine obviously runny dry the engine is rock solid anyway harley acknowledged this and said fuck that they just copped a brand new bike it ran dry and or oil got all over we'll make good and replace the whole engine or bike…..the fuck do you care anyway your on a victory guess you gotta push content out somehow
This review hurts my head.
I'd put my 14 heritage up against your victory oh wait victory no longer made and Indian hands down
