Consumer Description

I CURRENTLY OWN A VICTORY V92C MOTORCYCLE MADE BY POLARIS INDUSTRIES. THIS MOTORCYCLE HAS 7000 MILE ON THE ODOMETER AND HAS STARTED TO EXPERIENCE INCREASING FREQUENCY OF SHIFT PROBLEMS OVER THE LAST YEAR. I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING ABOUT ONE SHIFT FAILURE EVERY 25 MILES OF OPERATION THIS FAILURE USUALLY CONSISTS OF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING INTO A POSITION OF NEUTRAL WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEARS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED A MORE DANGEROUS CONDITION RECENTLY THAT IS THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT FROM THIRD TO SECOND WHEN UNDER A LOAD SUCH AS ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC AT AN EXPRESSWAY ON RAMP. THIS RESULTS IN AN OVERREVING OF THE ENGINE AND A DRAMATIC SLOWING DOWN OF THE MOTORCYCLE WHICH WHEN IT OCCURS REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO REACT TO AVOID A CRASH. I HAVE DELIVERED THE MOTORCYCLE TO A DEALER TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED THAT IS WHERE I HEARD ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION BEING DONE BY THE NHTSA. *NM
