I BOUGHT A 2000 VICTORY V92SC FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP IN NOV OF 2009. THE BIKE HAD 2502 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A FALSE NEUTRAL WHEN SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR.

Reported: 2001-05-01 (May 1, 2001)
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. THREADED FASTENERS USED TO ATTACH THE BRAKE ROTORS TO THE FRONT AND REAR WHEEL ASSEMBLIES COULD FAIL DUE TO HYDROGEN EMBRITTLEMENT. THE FAILURE COULD OCCUR UNDER THE HEAD OF THE FASTENER IF A CRACK DEVELOPS, CAUSING A LOSS OF CLAMP LOAD AND POSSIBLE SEPARATION OF THE HEAD FROM THE THREADED BODY OF THE FASTENERS.
