Filed Nov 26, 2008 · Transmission · 18,000 miles · FL

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 victory v92sc sportcruiser. While riding approximately 35 MPH, the contact noticed that when he would change gears, the vehicle would drop from third to second and then to fourth gear. The neutral indicator would illuminate, but the vehicle would not be in gear. The failure could have resulted in a crash. The dealer stated that the third gear failed and could be repaired at the cost of $3,200. All the parts to replace the gears have been discontinued. The manufacturer informed the contact to take the vehicle to a local dealer and have all the recalls repaired. The vehicle was repaired for the recalls; however, the manufacturer stated that they were not liable for the issues with the gears slipping because there was no recall for that particular failure. The failure mileage was 18,000 and current mileage was 18,300.

The transmission in my 2000 victory v92sc is slipping out of gear and going into false neutrals. I fear it may lock up like others making a crash inevitable.

At least once in every 17mile commute a false neutral is found in changing gears. The gear shift will give an audible click, but then no gear will have actually been engaged (or the transmission slips out of gear) when the clutch lever is released.*ak danger lies that transmission may not operate while in a turn or acceleration in traffic which could result in crash and injury. Attempts to have problem repaired resulted in, "no problem found, however the complaint is noted with the factory." now when the bike is in gear and slight downward pressure is placed on shifter pedal - a slight grinding noise is heard.

I have had a number of false nuetrals, transmission slipping from 4th to 3rd, 3rd to 2nd. Which has caused a lot of close calls in traffic, that has made me to quit riding until I can get it fixed, as I normally ride two up, I have more than my own health to consider. My dealer has told me this is normal on these older bikes, and in my opinion, is very dangerous. Date is not exact, as there were numerous occasions.

Hello. My name is [xxx] I own a 2000 victory sport cruiser motorcycle made by polaris. Since I have owned the motorcycle it has had problems with slipping into false neutral between 2nd and 3rd gears and sometimes spontaneously dropping down from 3rd to 2nd. This does not occur all the time. Maybe every once every 50 to 100 miles. To this date it has not caused me to have an accident, but I believe it may be something that should be fixed by the maker of the motorcycle. I have recently discovered that many other owners of the early (1999-2001) model victory motorcycles have had similar problems. The problem usually progresses until the transmission fails completely. I believe this is a potentially dangerous problem that needs your attention. Thank you [xxx]. *ak information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
