Victory Empulse / Re: oil leaking from electric motor
« Last post by Korbin Dallas on March 22, 2024, 08:47:11 AM »
SAE 10W-30 synthetic motor oil, wet-clutch approved,
API GL-1, qty: one liter

This what the manufacturer calls out for in the service manual
I put in what I had on hand. If the leak is stopped and I don't have to pull the motor again I will drain and fill with the required oil.
I honestly don't believe that the seal was leaking, I only changed it because I had already ordered it before I realized that the oil is actually coming from that key way.
The bike is still not leaking and it has been on the side stand for a week.

Cheers

Had a problem with this battery cutting out on me when I hit jumps and bumps hard when I was riding in Moab and in the last supermoto race.  I suspect it was this breaker, Litespeed Bikes doesn't make batteries with this breaker anymore but it is handy to have when connecting the battery.  I have yet to see if this cured the problem need to subject it to more rigorous testing..

Changed the geometry of the suspension so now I gotta set the suspension sag again.  The longer swingarm creates more force on the shock so we need to up the spring rate!

Now that the swingarm is slightly extended how does that affect the travel.  Find out in this experiment.

Hi, I have a few questions:
Did you find out what was the cause of the damaged gasket?
Was it mechanical damage (locking pin in groove) or chemical damage (old or inappropriate type of transmission oil)?
Why did you choose the 10W40 specification, which has a higher viscosity than the one recommended by Victory (10W30)?
Won't it have an effect on higher losses in the gearbox and thus a shorter range?
Thanks a lot for answer.

How much does this bike weight?

It was a bit of a struggle to get the right chain length and unfortunately I bought too short a chain.  Swingarm is done and it's time for the gripe fest!

Compare New Jackshaft vs Old Jackshaft


KO Swingarm installed + Primary Drive

New seal installed and a possible source of the leak. In my opinion. I have only put about 20 miles on it since reinstallation. no leaks so far but it might take time for oil to migrate out since it was such a slow leak.
new video here

also a short on that channel
If you want to do it on the cheap dont replace the seal and just rtv that spline key
I talked to the manufacturer in New Ulm Minnesota, They show that most of the motors sent in for repair were scrapped. They cant provide specs for anything to do with this motor because it is a direct descendant of their newer line and thus protected for patent.
