Owner report 10025435 · 2003-07-05 (July 5, 2003)
I HAVE A 2000 MODEL POLARIS VICTORY MOTORCYCLE THAT HAS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY, ESPECIALLY FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, OFTEN GOING INTO A FALSE NEUTRAL AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO RACE. IT WILL OFTEN HANG UP IN GEAR WHEN DOWNSHIFTING. THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT IS GETTING MUCH WORSE AS THE MILES ACCUMULATE. I BELIEVE THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL; POSSIBLY LOCKING UP ALTOGETHER AND POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH.*AK

TRANSMISION PROBLEMS WITH MY POLARIS VICTORY V92SC MOTORCYCLE. GETTING FALSE NEUTRALS AND THE TRANSMI DOWNSHIFTS BY ITSELF. SHIFT FROM 2ND GEAR TO 3RD GEAR AND THE TRANSMISION WILL AT TIMES DOWN SHIFT BACK TO 2ND GEAR WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS IS OR COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL COULD HAPPEN IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. THE WARRRANTY COMPANY AND POLARIS WANT TO MAKE THE OWNER LIABLE FOR EXPENSES IF THEY DEEM THE TRANSMISION TO BE OKAY. I BELIEVE THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT,AND MANY OWNERS OF VICTORY MOTORCYCLES ARE …
