What 2016 Victory Cross Country Tour owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While downshifting, the shifter locked up and would not downshift. I pulled the clutch lever in and tried to down shift again. The shifter moved downward but their was a loud bang that sounded like metal pieces shattering. I had to put my motorcycle on a trailer to get it to the dealer. The dealer disassembled the motor and transmission to find #4 gear was missing teeth. They informed me this should not have happened because the victory transmission used constant meshed gears, the gears never seperate and remesh.they also informed me that I was lucky that the transmission did not lock up causing the rear tire to lock up. This would have resulted in a probable crash. Further inspection revealed that the retaining clips used to hold the gears in place had been loose for awhile and again we were very fortunate that it happened close to home and at a lower speed.
