NHTSA Complaint #10098137 — 2000 VICTORY V92

1: MY MOTORCYCLE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLES FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. NOTHING TRAUMATIC HAPPENED TO CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN, ITS' JUST A DESIGN FLAW. MAJOR DESIGN CHANGES WERE MADE AFTER THE 2000 MODELS TO PREVENT THESE PROBLEMS.*AK 2: AT FIRST I WAS MAINLY GETTING FALSE NUETRALS. MOST OF MY PROBLEMS ARE BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEAR. SOMETIMES IT WOULD JUST GO BETWEEN THE GEARS AND NOT INTO ONE. THE NEXT PROBLEM CAME WHEN IT STARTED COMING OUT OF THIRD GEAR AND INTO THE FALSE NUETRAL. THIS FALL IT HAS ON TWO OCCASIONS SHIFTED OF IT'S OWN ACCORD FROM THIRD GEAR DOWN INTO SECOND. THIS IS BY FAR THE MORE DANGEROUS OF THE PROBLEMS AND UTTERLY TERRIFYING. 3: MY DEALER AT ONE POINT REPLACED SOMETHING CALLED THE "SHIFT DETENT MECHANISM". FOR A TIME THIS SEEMED TO HELP. TRANSMISSIONS IN YEARS AFTER MINE WERE REDESIGNED TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM.
