Bike is prone to stalling either from downshifting or opening the throttle such as starting out from a stop or low RPM shift. I've put about 200 miles on this bike and noticed the bike has stalled more than 10 times while pulling from a stop, merging into traffic, or making a turn. The sudden loss of power changes the center of gravity and balance on the bike and in one case I had to quickly brace the bike while bringing the bike under control. The end effect was the bike crushed my foot under the exhaust as the bike was in a lean while turning. Research into this "stalling" shows this is a very common problem with this bike. Something is wrong with the ECM / fuel / air management system. I'm concerned this problem happens without warning and could result in a serious accident. Such as being rear ended or stalling while crossing lanes of traffic.

I was merging onto a highway leaned into the curve running about 45 MPH when the engine popped and died. When this happened it locked up the rear tire causing the back end of the motorcycle to skid around and when it caught traction it flipped the bike in the opposite side of the way I was leaning launching me into the road. I was applying throttle gently when this occurred and the RPM's were around 3000 at the time. And I was not shifting gears at the time. After a couple of attempts I was able to get the engine started again but the bike made a scrubbing sound if I moved it. It was then trailered to the dealer after that. I had the motorcycle in to the dealer on several occasions before for the engine popping and stalling. This problem has been reported to victory and so have numerous other similar problems and they responded with it being rider error. Polaris, the parent company of victory is turning a blind eye to a problem that left unchecked will end up killing someone. A simple google search will find you a lot of other people having the same problem. Here is a link to one such post on the problem.
