2008 Victory Vision brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
In may 2011, I was contemplated riding my motorcycle after sitting for the winter (nov through may). As I checked the bike, I noticed that the brake pedal for the rear brakes had no pressure. I realized my motorcycle had no rear brakes. I called the dealer and was advised to bring the bike in and they would check it, and as a result, they had to bleed the brakes. Afterwards, I didn't incur any problems with the bike for the remainder of the summer. During the winter months, again the bike was not used. Last month, (may 2012) I took my bike for a ride, again, I experienced problem with the rear brakes. I called the victory dealer again and advised them of the same problem. Once again, I was told to bring the bike in and they would bleed the brakes. The technician checked the brakes and then advised me that the master cylinder is bad.the bike has 11,300 miles. There is no leak coming from the brakes or brake lines. I feel that the braking system on these bikes are flawed, and hope that your agency can look into this matter before someone is injured. I implore you to investigate this matter after finding similar problems (during my research) with the master cylinder. I believe there is a defect with the master cylinder part and I would like to be contacted.
After the bike sat for the winter, I found I had no rear brakes. The dealer bled the brakes and they worked fine for about 6 weeks and then went out again; they bled them again. When I rode the other day I noticed the rear brake pedal is going down again. I hate to think what would happen at 70 MPH if someone pulled out in front of me and I had to stop quickly.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 victory vision. The contact stated that the rear brakes failed on numerous occasions. The air flow was entering through the brake line and causing the brakes to fail. The dealer was contacted who bled the brakes system and replaced the master cylinder to repair the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 56,205.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 victory vision motorcycle. While approaching a stop at 30 MPH the brakes failed. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection on two separate occasions for the identical failures. The failures were contributed to air bubbles in the brake line. The vehicle was repaired for the malfunctions. The failure occurred after the service repair. The manufacturer was aware of the continuous failures; which there were no permanent repair. The failure mileage was 3,800. The current mileage was 4,8000.
