2000 Polaris Victory

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING ON A FORCE GEAR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 POLARIS VICTORY V92 MOTORCYCLE. WHILE DRIVING AND SHIFTING INTO THIRD GEAR THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO SECOND GEAR AUTOMATICALLY WHICH CAUSED THE MOTORCYCLE TO SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATELY. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 18, 2004 WHILE RIDING IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN MY 2000 V92C POLARIS VICTORY DOWNSHIFTED FROM 3RG GEAR TO 2ND GEAR WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM ME. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE EARLY (1999-2000) BIKES HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT ON MANY WEBSITES ON THE INTERNET AND POLARIS IS WELL AWARE OF IT. POLARIS HAS EVEDENTALLY UPGRADED SOME OWNERS MOTORCYCLES WITH PARTS AT NO CHARGE. THE COST ABOR FOR THIS UPGRADE HAS NOT BEEN COVERED. POLARIS SHOULD ISSUE A VOLUNTARY RECALL ON ALL MODELS AFFECTED.*AK

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY MOTORCYCLE CONSISTENTLY FAILS TO PROPERLY SHIFT FROM 2ND GEAR TO 3RD GEAR. IT GOES INTO WHAT CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED AS A FALSE NEUTRAL. MORE THAN ONCE IT HAS SLIPPED FROM 3RD GEAR INTO 2ND GEAR WHILE RIDING. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION, ESPECIALLY ON UNSURE PAVEMENT.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT 35-40 MPH, THE MOTOR LOST POWER WITH CYCLE SHUTTING DOWN. THE OWNER WAS TOLD THAT ONE OF THE LIGHTS HAD BLOWNOUT WHICH AFFECTED THE STARTER, BLOWING A FUSE. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES LATER, BUT THIS TIME DUE TO A FUEL PUMP FAILING. ALSO, HIT A POTHOLE AND THE KICKSTAND CAME OUT WHILE TURNING LEFT DUE TO SPRING POPPING OFF. *AK * SCC *NLM
