| The transmission will not shift properly into third gear or will jump out of third gear. the bike will jump or lurch out of control , locking up the back tire causing the rider to lose control. sometimes the bike will begin bucking/jumping forward uncontrollably this again will cause the rider to lose control. this problem with this model/year /make is well documented. the dealers know of the problem, polaris knows of the problem but refuses to recall or correct the problem with the transmissions needs to intervene now before more riders and the public is hour or killed by these machines. this is the pinto/corvair of motorcycles. i have contacted you in the past and have contacted polaris on this matter on several occasions. this has been ongoing since these bikes were first sold. the problem happens daily,weekly every time you ride. *tr | |||
