It sounds like computer has put you bike into limp home mode or safety mode to protect the engine. What warning lights do you have if any come on? it sounds like a sensor has either malfunctioned or has done its job properly and picked up something wrong like, temp sensor, oxygen, oil pressure, mass air flow sensor etc. Either way when something is out of the norm form the sensor inputs to the bikes computer it will often limit the revs on the bike putting it into limp home mode to protect the engine.

I personally would be getting a mechanic to put it on a diagnostic machine. If the computer has caused the bike to go into limp mode, your mechanic will more than likely be able read a fault code from your computer to point you in the right direction as to the root cause of this fault.

Rear cylinder not firing on victory vegas

I've had that problem several times, and luckily one of the spark plug wires had shorted out each time. I've always been a big fan of getting the factory service manual for all my bikes-here's the one for your 2006 Vegas, not a bad price either (19.95) considering the paper manual is 135.00 and takes 3 weeks to get!

How do i get rid of the tick from the motor. plugs changed spring 2013, run cleaners and additives nothing seems to be working, should I be concerned? second the front cylinders coughs at idle?

Engine ticks on a regular beat in tune with the rpm of the engine indicates a loose / burnt manifold gasket on a particular cylinder or a cracked manifold near a particular cylinder. It could also be a loose/ blown head gasket at the cylinder that is coughing at idle.

2007 victory jackpot ticking and cough from one cylinder

Sounds like there may be a problem with the emissions control system. The rubber hoses tend to crack where they attach to the frame/airbox. Also, stop using fuel cleaners and oil conditioners in your victory. They will not do anything to help your bike.

2005 Vegas Ness oil change. I bought the bike used so I don't have a repair manual or owners manual. I just want to change my oil but would like some guidance. Thanks!

Look under the motor and you will see the drain plug. I think it takes a 6mm allen. drain the oil and remove your filter, just like on your car. Your bike should take 5 qrts. make sure you put oil on the new oil filters rubber seal and get it hand tight. after you have replaced the oil plug and filter , pull the dip stick over on the right side and look for the full mark and put the oil in. Put the oil stick
all the way back into the motor, and pull it and check it. Check for leaks and ride safe.

I have lost my keys to my 2005 Victory Vegas. I

the bike only has 2 locks? Just get a set of locks and keys - maybe from breakers yard or ebay, cheaper than dealership or locksmith... and just as effective, but you have to fit the locks yourself.
