2000 Victory V92 Problems

I HAVE A 2000 VICTORY V92 WITH ONLY 3000 */- MILES ON IT POPS OUT OF 3RD GEAR ! CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WANTING TO CHARGE UP TO $4000. IT SEEMS TO ME AND MANY OTHERS THAT THIS SHOULD OF BEEN A RECALL AT NO OWNER EXPENSE ! WHAT IS GOING TO TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ? I SURE HOPE IT DON'T TAKE PEOPLE GETTING KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS MAJOR PROBLEM !!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 VICTORY V92C MOTORCYCLE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATED EXCESSIVELY. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INSPECTED UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. HE CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND ON THE DIP STICK. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 06V298000 AND 06V303000 (POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION). THE CONTACT FAILED TO RECEIVE A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURES. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WILL PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIRS; HOWEVER, THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR THE DAMAGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 10,050.

THIS MOTORCYCLE SLAMS INTO 2ND GEAR WHEN SHIFTING TO 3RD! ALMOST GOT RUN OVER BY AS TRACTOR TRAILER! THIS IS A DANGEROUS PRODUCT, WELL DOCUMENTED. WHY AREN'T YOU FORCING POLARIS TO FIX THIS?? SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED. THE RECALL POLARIS HAS DOESN'T COVER THESE BIKES IF THEY ARE BOUGHT SECOND HAND, OR ARE PAST THE RECALL DATE(INTENTIONALLY SET FOR AFTER THESE PROBLEMS ARISE). THIS TRANSMISSION WILL SEIZE ONE DAY,M HOPEFULLY I SURVIVE! *TR

THE MOTORCYCLE WILL NOT GO IN FOURTH GEAR.. IT JERKS AND HAS A BAD NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHEN IN FOURTH GEAR. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED VICTORY, I WAS TOLD THE BIKE HAD THE NEW REDESIGNED TRANSMISSION. HILLTOP CYCLE OF WYTHEVILLE VA. SAID IT WAS SCHEDULED BY THE OWNER TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. BUT DECIDED NOT TO AT THE LAST MINUTE. I BOUGHT THE MOTORCYCLE FROM HILLTOP CYCLE OF WYTHEVILLE VA. WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM, NOR WAS I MADE AWARE OF IT BY [XXX] (OWNER OF HILLTOP) WHO SOLD ME THE BIKE!!!! IT IS A MIRACLE THAT I WASN'T KILLED ON THE INTERSTATE, HAD THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP, LOCKING UP THE BACK TIRE. HOW CAN YOU BE ALLOWED TO DO THIS TO CONSUMERS??? VICTORY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, REDESIGNED THE TRANSMISSION IN 2001. BUT MINE STILL HAS THE OLD ONE IN IT!!! WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS..... I WAS QUOTED A PRICE FOR A NEW ONE BY HILLTOP CYCLE FOR $2,700 I DROPPED THE BIKE OFF MAY 5TH 2012 PICKED IT UP TODAY JULY 14, 2012 WAS FINALLY TOLD AFTER OVER 2 MONTHS... THAT THEY COULD NOT FINE ONE FOR IT..REALLY????? THIS TAKES OVER 2 MONTHS TO TELL ME THIS, AFTER I HAD INQUIRED ABOUT THE BIKE SEVERAL TIMES. GREAT SERVICE..... SO HOW DO I GET VICTORY'S MESS FIXED NOW??? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN GOING AROUND A CURB AT 25 MPH FRONT WHEEL AND THE HANDLE BARS SHOOK AND VIBRATED. THE DEALER FOUND NO DEFECTS. *AK THIS PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED DEPENDING UPON THE AMOUNT THAT THE MOTORCYCLE WAS LEANED INTO A CORNER. *SC
