My 1999 victory is displaying the symptom's described in ea05002, including false neutral between 2nd and 3rd gears, difficulty finding neutral, and in addition, excessive mechanical noise in 4th gear. The motorcycle has approximately 9200 miles on it.
1999 Victory V92 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 43, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I am the owner of a 1999 victory motorcyle. Two years ago I noticed dificulty shifting into 2nd gear. This only happed once in a while. Now I not only have dificulty shifting but the bike slips out of 3rd gear. Im afraid my trans is about to fail all together. I know this is a problem on many 1999--2001 motorcyles.
Motorcycle intermittantly downshifts on its own while accellerating. Also, the bike's transmission, upon upshifting, will find a false neutral between gears, resulting in engine over-revving. I have not contacted victory yet, but I plan to do so soon.
Dt: contact states while driving motorcycle at high speeds the gear switched from drive to neutral. The vehicle has not been to a service dealer as of yet.
1999 victory v92c had wierd noises in third gear for a while, researched this and found of problems with this year of victory. After asking two different dealers about recalls and fixing problem, decided to wait, so I could save money for the costly repair ($3200??) then one day while downshifting from 4th to 3rd gear there was a horrible noise, then a bunch of gear crushing noise then the transmission locked up and sent me for a 30 to 40 foot?? Skid!!! Now the bike is just parked until I find out about a recall or any other safety issues with this year and model motorcycle.
I just purchased the bike from a used bike dealer in georgia and once I got the bike back to north carolina I put about 200 miles on the bike so far and the transmission has given me a false neutral between 2 and 3rd gear about 10-15 times. This can be very dangerous when turning and accelerating on a road with heavy traffic. I contacted the nearest victory dealer and they informed me that since the bike was out of warranty the parts of $2100 plus labor of 14hours would have to be paid by me. I have not done anything to correct this problem since I dont have the money to do so right now.
Transmition difficulties from day one, no response from dealer, poor shift quality, many false neutrals, many missed shifts, down shifts harsh and loud.
Constant problems with shifting of my 1999 victory motorcycle transmission from 2nd to 3rd gear.
On numerous occasions when shifting the transmission from 2nd to 3rd it has defaulted to neutral (with a more noticeable clunk than the normal clunk noise) on several occasions it has slipped out of 1st gear on launch (in traffic with the vehicle behind me getting way too close to my rear fender before I could manage to get it back into gear and continue to accelerate) and on moderate to heavy acceleration on a 2-3 shift it has defaulted to 2nd gear causing a rapid deceleration that was very unnerving and could have caused a loss of control. These conditions all still exist, are all known conditions (by the manufacturer) as the "fix" is to up grade the transmission parts to a later design which I will do but feel this is a safety issue that should be recalled by the manufacturer at their expense.
1.constant problems shifting gears, .must be very careful to "load up" on the shift lever before pulling in the clutch. If not it will miss a shift, or pop out of gear. I've almost been hit because I lost power, and it downshifted and I almost lost control.*ak 3. Awaiting a recall, and am being very careful.
Defective gear box on 1999 victory v92c motorcycle, 3000 miles.
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.
Intermitent transmission going to a "false" neutral condition, causing loss of power and control. Intermitent sudden down shifting from thrid gear to second gear, causing rear wheel skid and loss of control.
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.
Repeated occasions when the bike would slip out of gear or stick between gears while shifting. Last incident caused the rear wheel to lock up and break the drive belt.
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!!
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.
Transmission failure - jumps out of gear. Cannot afford repairs.
(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
I have a 1999 victory v92c, serial number 1398. I have experienced jumoing out of gear between 3rd and 4th gear under acceleration. Also false netraul between 2nd and 3rd gear. This has been a constant problem since I bought the motorcycle new in july 1998.
Transmision miss shifts. Un expected down shifts. Gets stuck between gears.
While taking a mortorcycle trip from my home to reno, nv, my 1999 victory v92c started popping out of gear into a neutral state. Almost causing me to lose control of the motorcycle. Nothing has been done at this point to correct this problem. I am aware of other victory motorcycle owners who have had the same type of problems with these early transmission problems. This motorclycle has only 21,000 miles on it with maintenance done on a regular basis. I believe this to be due to a defective transmission. Repair for this will quite costly and should be covered by the manufacturer.
Transmission: missed shifts between 2nd and 3rd gears, drops back into 2nd gear causing sudden deceleration
While driving 55-60 MPH, the transmission engaged into neutral without warning. As a result the motorcycle down shifted from 60 to 40 MPH within seconds. The consumer was concerned of being rear ended. Please provide additional information.
I have had three instances with my 99 victory v92c transmission down shifting without my input, several false nuetrals and transmission hanging up 3rd gear.all within the last 4 months.
Bike intermittently "misses" shifts, sometimes delayed action in shifting, falling into gear seconds after shifter moved. Particularly disconcerting when merging onto freeway and getting "neutral" when third gear desired. Possible saftey concern here. No major failure or accident yet, just an annoyance so far, but I'm concerned about the possibility of further incidents as transmission wears. In the wrong situation, this could result in an unexpected inability to accelerate, and possible loss of control of the motorcycle.
1999 polaris victory motorcycle. I was riding at 50mph when I shifted into 4th gear. There was a loud grinding nose and then a clunk in the transmission, then the transmission lock up and I had went into a skid. After collecting all my thoughts,I tried to shift the transmission in the none running mode and it shifts to 1st,2nd,3rd,5th, but no fourth gear.this is only one complaint of the few I've filed here about the transmission. One of the others was jumping in and out of 3rd gear which my have caused damage then.
Polaris victory motorcycle.
Bought this motorcycle from a friend of the dealer with very low mileage, at first, when riding going from 2nd to 3rd would go to a false neutral occassionally, now after a bit more riding, this occurs often...on 2 of those occassions was in a tight situation with a car and on 1 occassion was almost hit due to this problem...mentioned this problem to the dealer and was offered a transmission upgrade for a few thousand dollars also when shifting there is a loud clunk....the shock has some kind of defect as when my wife rides with me and we hit a bump her neck and spine gets hurt....the bike shakes tremendously and my headlights have come loose often as well as my tail light.
