2016 victory magnum 3 miles when purchased 6k miles time of accident. Had all services done by victory dealership. Proceeded to down shift traveling about 35 40 MPH. Pulled the clutch in and heard an horrible grinding noise was not able to shift the gears, let the clutch out and the back wheel locked up, causing the bike to fish tail several times and then it threw me off, and cause the driver to roll about 20 times or more. The back wheel is locked up the bike had to lifted up to be put on the trailer. The transmission is locked up. There is a problem with this and could have cost me my life!
