What owners say
Transmission failure even after recall was completed....jumps out of 3rd gear down to second creating very dangerous situation.
No events leading up to failure. It was a sudden change. My 1999 victory v92c with only 10k miles just started downshifting from 3rd to 2nd gear. It is happening more and more often to the point I will not ride it now. Nothing has been done to repair it because victory has no official recall and they want you, as a consumer to replace it with a new transmission at your own cost. It is around $3000. This situation has happened to thousands of other riders. There are forums all over the internet complaining about the 199,2000, and 2001 victory v92c transmissions....it is unfair!
I currently have a 99 victory motorcycle with a known defective transmission. Polaris is currently doing a "upgrade" but will not publically admit that they have an issue. I know that they don't want to do anything since it would cost them too much money. I know that in the past other car companies would take some initiative and repair it on their own. I would like to see them just replace the transmission at no cost to myself or any of the other owners of their product and it's short comings.
I purchased my victory new during the first year of production. Although the transmission has always been loud and sometimes slow to shift it has recently begun to lose power totally, as if slipping into neutral. In one instance this failure caused me to come very close to being hit. The transmission is now almost impossible to get into first gear from neutral after stopping. I am told that the only real fix is to have a total transmission replacement costing almost $3k from a victory dealer.
