Owner report 11671469 · 2025-07-06 (July 6, 2025)
Some victory motorcycles with the 106 ci engine have problems with a retainer C clip in the gears in the transmission, failing and said C clip coming loose potentially locking up the engine while running I had it happen to me 7/05/25 while riding. I’m not the only one this has happened to many victory owners experience this failure and Polaris industries will not to anything about it. Now I have transmission failure and the repair cost more than the motorcycle is worth.
