What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
While riding at any speed, the contact heard a loud squealing noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. The dealer stated that the rear sprocket damper assembly failed. They informed him that the part was unavailable.
Going on highway at 50 miles per hour when transmission jumped into different gears that caused momentary skid and a loud pop or clunk and transmission is no more. Called victory to ask if any recalls said they would get back. Nothing resolved broke transmission.
Motorcycle is slipping out of gear and going into neutral and/or a lower gear. This ususally occurs while driving in traffic - does not happen everytime, very sporatic. Luckedly I have not lost control during an episode. I contacted dealership where motorcyclewas purchased - told my problem.
