Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

What this page shows

Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2001 Victory V92C, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.

Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

WHILE ACCELERATING THROUGH GEARS AT NORMAL SPEED AND POWER. I SHIFTED INTO FOURTH GEAR AND AS I ROLLED ON THE THROTTLE AT APPROX 45 MILES PER HOUR. THE TRANSMISSION JUMPED OUT OF 4TH GEAR AND DOWN INTO THIRD GEAR. THIS CAUSED THE REAR WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND SKID. I WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE THE CLUTCH AND PREVENT THE MOTORCYCLE FROM SLIDING OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST AND I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO NHTSA. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO RECREATE PROBLEM FOR SERVICE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCURANCES OF THIS JUMPING OUT OF GEAR AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. DT
