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.

From owner reports, verbatim
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
ON FOUR OCCASSIONS MY TRANSMISSION HAS SLIPPED FROM FOURTH GEAR DOWN INTO THIRD GEAR ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. EACH TIME I AM ACCELERATING AND THE GEAR SLIPS DOWN CAUSING MY REAR WHEEL TO BRIEFLY LOCK AND LOOSE TRACTION WITH THE ROADWAY. ON THE 8/1/02 INCIDENT, THIS OCCURRED WHILE NAVIGATING A CORNER AND THE MOTORCYCLE SLID OUT AND I CAUGHT MYSELF WITH MY LEFT LEG CAUSING SORENESS. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES, 08/01/02, 08/09/02,08/27/02, AND 09/09/02. *AK

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
