1999 Victory V92

TRANSMISSION WAS POPING IN AND OUT OF 3RD AND 4TH GEAR, WHILE RIDING THIS SPRING WITH A FEW OTHER COUPLES,MY BIKE LOCKED UP IN 4TH GEAR CAUSEING ME TO GO INTO A SLIDE, I KEPT IT UNDER CONTROL AND THANK GOD THE OTHER RIDERS WHERE PAYING ATTENTION,IT COULD OF BEEN VERY SERIOUS. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AT TURNONE MOTORSPORST AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD 2 MORE VICTORY'S IN HOUSE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND ONE OF THEM ONLY HAD 1200 MILES ON IT. HE THAN TOLD ME THAT POLARIS WAS UPGRADEING THE TRANSMISSION TO THE 2003 TRANYS AND THAT THEY WOULD COVER THE PARTS BUT NOT THE LABOR, WHICH I PAYED $828.87 IN OUT OF POCKET EXSPENCE.I'VE ALSO FILED COMPLAINTS IN THE PAST REGAURDING THIS ISSUE WHEN I FIRST NOTICE A PROBLEM.*AK

MY 1999 POLARIS VICTORY MOTORCYCLE MODEL V92C WHICH WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 9-00 WOULD ON OCCASION NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE SHIFT WOULD FEEL NORMAL, JUST THAT WHEN I WOULD ENGAGE THE CLUTCH IT WOULD FREE REV AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. THIS HAD BECOME MORE FREQUENT OVER THE LAST SUMMER. WHEN I CONTACTED MY SERVICING DEALER THEY STATED THAT THEY MAY BE ABLE TO GET ME A 'GOODWILL TRANSMISSION' FROM POLARIS FOR FREE, BUT THAT I'D HAVE TO PAY THE LABOR. I TOOK THE DEAL THINKING IT WAS THE BEST OFFER I COULD GET, THE TOTAL BILL FOR THE LABOR WAS JUST SHY OF $1000. THIS FALSE NEUTRAL AS IT'S COMMONLY REFERRED TOO CAN CAUSE SEVERAL SAFETY ISSUES SHOULD SOMEONE NEED TO QUICKLY MOVE AWAY FROM DANGER ON THEIR MOTORCYCLES. I BELIEVE THIS SITUATION NEEDS TO BE RESEARCHED FURTHER AND ADDRESSED. *JB

I HAVE A 1999 VICTORY V92C. THE TRANSMITION GEARS BROKE, AND THE MOTORCYCLE WOULD POP OUT OF GEAR. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS WOULD LOCK-UP THE REAR TIRE, AND I ALMOST CRASHED SEVERAL TIMES! I TOOK THE MOTORCYCLE INTO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF MOTORCYCLES THAT ARE DOING THE SAME THING AND THE COMPANY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THERE MOTORCYCLES(ABOUT 85% NEED NEW TRANSMITIONS) AND WAS ALSO TOLD THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE CRASHED BECOUSE OF THIS! I LATER PAYED FOR THE TRANSMITION AT A COST OF $2,144.24 OUT OF MY POCKED!! THIS MOTORCYCLE ONLY HAD ABOUT 5,000 MILES ON IT! THIS SHOULN'T BE UP TO THE COMSUMER TO TAKE THE COST AND, TREAT THERE LIFE AS A GAVE AT THE CASINO!! RIDING THERE BIKE IS NOT A GAME!? THEY NEW THERE WAS A PROBLAME WITH THE TRANSMITIONS IN LATE 2000!!, AND THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLAME!!! PLEASE HELP!!*AK

IT ALL STARTED OUT WITH GETTING FALSE NEUTRALS. GREEN LIGHT SHOWING FOR NUETRAL AND THEN TRYING TO START MOTORCYCLE. JUST ABOUT THROWS YOU OFF THE BIKE. DOWN SHIFT AT A LIGHT AND PUT IT IN NUETRAL AND LET GO OF CLUTCH AND JUMPS FORWARD AND DIES.*AK I THEN STARTED GETTING SHIFT DROPS. WOULD SHIFT INTO THIRD AND THEN IT WOULD DROP DOWN INTO SECOND. THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN EVERYTIME BUT AT LEAST ONCE EVERYTIME I RIDE THE BIKE. NOW IF I WANT TO GET ON THE THROTTLE HARD IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO THIRD AT ALL.

(1) TRANSMISSION FAILURE - LOSS OF THIRD GEAR. (2) THE CORE OF CONCERNS FOR MY TRANSMISSION WERE A FAILURE TO REMAIN IN, AND EVENTUAL INABILITY TO ATTAIN, THIRD GEAR, AND GEAR TOOTH SHEERING.*AK (3) UPON TEARDOWN, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE 1ST/3RD GEAR MAINSHAFT SHIFT FORK WHICH RESIDES ON A SHIFT RAIL WAS BADLY ABRADED, AND SEPARATION OF TEETH ON THE MATING GEARS: HTTP://WWW.ROADKILLONLINE.NET/IMAGEDB_IMAGES/35_2077.JPG HTTP://WWW.ROADKILLONLINE.NET/IMAGEDB_IMAGES/35_2078.JPG
