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
