What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2001 Victory V92SC Sportcruiser, 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.

AFTER 17,500 MILES,I HEARD SCRAPING NOISES FROM THE REAR WHEEL THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY DISAPPEAR WHEN RIDING THE BIKE FROM A COLD START. NOTICED SLIGHT WIGGLE WHEN LEANING INTO TURNS AT 60 MPH. I PLACED THE BIKE ON A LIFT AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE REAR TIRE SIDE TO SIDE WITH MY HANDS. I EVENTUALLY TOOK THE BIKE TO MY DEALER TO HAVE THE REAR RIM CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT NOT ONLY DID THE REAR BEARING FAIL ON DRIVE SIDE, BUT IT GALLED OUT THE ALUMINUM FACE INSIDE THE RIM RENDERING IT USELESS. AS A RESULT, NO BEARINGS COULD BE INSTALLED UNLESS A NEW RIM WAS PURCHASED. A NEW RIM WAS PURCHASED ON 11/14/04. THE ORIGINAL RIM WAS DISPOSED OF BY THE DEALER AT MY REQUEST. *AK
