| I bought a 2000 victory v92sc from a used car dealership in nov of 2009. the bike had 2502 miles on the odometer. i have been experiencing a false neutral when shifting into 3rd gear. the bike will also drop out of 3rd gear causing loss of power and creating hazzardous traffic situations. i took the motorcycle to a victory dealership and was informed this was a very common problem with this year motorcycle that victory produced. it would seem in the best interest of all involved, for polaris industries to provide a working transmission at no cost to unsuspecting buyers of their product. i paid $3,900 for this motorcycle which is obviously unsafe to operate on us highways!!! if polaris will not fix the faulty transmissions, the nhtsa should deem the motorcycles illegal to operate on us highways due to mechanical malfunction and the subsquent hazzardous situations created by sudden loss of power. polaris...step up to the plate and resolve all these problems with your product. | |||

| I own a 2000 victory v92sc motorcycle. the bike has begian to jump out of thrid gear every time. this can cuase parts to fail locking up the transmission resulting in loss of control. victory is well aware of this problem but refuses to make the nessacary repairs. the motorcycle has less than 7k miles on it. it is my understanding there was a recall on this motorcycle at one time. there have been no repairs to the bike at this point. | |||
| These are common problems with the '98-'01 victory bikes. my transmission is showing signs of going out. victory will not recall nor replace until total failure. failure of other's bikes have resulted in transmission locking up under speed. thank you for your attention.*ak | |||
