American V-Twin Program | Custom Bike Building Program
Train to become an American V-Twin specialist The American V-Twin Technology Program provides our students with a detailed overview of all the major American V-Twin manufacturers, such as Victory, S&S Cycle and Harley Davidson. During this course, you will not only receive a detailed overview of each manufacturer's model specific components, you will be trained to efficiently complete:
- Service intervals
- Safety check inspections
- Top & bottom end servicing
- Primary and secondary drive functionality
- Starting, charging and ignition systems
- Troubleshooting and diagnostic techniques
Following the electrical diagnostics, you will also be covering fuel system operations and troubleshooting for carburetors and electronic fuel injection as well as operations of multiple fuel management systems, utilizing Daytona Twin Tech, Weisco's Fuel Management Control, S&S's VFI and IST Systems, and Harley Davidson's Super Tuner. Train to become a PowerSport service writer Throughout your time at the PowerSport Institute, you will also have the ability to not only learn the duties of a technician in a shop, but also those of a service writer. Every student has the opportunity to be assigned the service writer at the beginning of each day and is responsible for all the other students in lab, therefore, reflecting the duties of a service writer in a shop environment. Incorporating this responsibility into every student's education prepares them for a real-world experience, making them far more valuable to employers once they reach the field. Many of the duties that pertain to those of a service writer include:
- Correctly filling out repair orders
- Placing parts orders
- Writing crash estimates
- Properly conducting yourself while conversing with customers
One of the training techniques we utilize in doing this is Victory's A.S.S.E.R.T. Program. This is also one of the many steps in a series of training videos called Manufacturer Service Dealer (MSD) that Victory has provided to our students so when they graduate, they have the opportunity to be MSD Certified.
In addition to the industry standard motorcycle technician training you will receive, this program challenges our students with a custom bike build project. In our Custom Bike Building/ Performance Component, you can incorporate your creativity and innovation in design while focusing on performance drivability, functionality and safety initiatives while also giving you practical experience in motorcycle assembly. This unique program offers the opportunity to combine technical instruction with design elements such as:
- Metal fabrication
- Laying paint
- Rebuilding wiring harnesses
- Customizing components
We train you to "think outside the box" while giving you the skills to be individually motivated and challenged, making the instruction more valuable to you and ultimately, the PowerSport industry.
Think it, build it, ride it!
Our goal is to train the successful student so they will be able to build a custom motorcycle from a variety of engines, frames, wheels and suspension components, ultimately allowing the student to tune and run performance tests on our motorcycle dyno!
