2012 VICTORY CROSS COUNTRY Engine Problems

MY VICTORY JUST SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON NO MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE MOVING, CAUSING THE BIKE IN ONE INSTANCE FOR ME TO DROP THE BIKE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VICTORY CROSS COUNTRY. WHEN THE VEHICLE TURNED RIGHT, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE LOWER PART OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RETAINING CLIP WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VICTORY CROSS COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

I WAS RIDING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60-65 MPH AND PULLED IN THE CLUTCH, TO DOWNSHIFT FROM 6TH TO 5TH GEAR. IN MID-SHIFT LIKE THIS, I THEN DECIDED THAT MAYBE TRAFFIC WASN'T SLOWING THAT MUCH, AFTER ALL, AND WAS JUST ABOUT TO RELEASE THE CLUTCH AND CONTINUE TO RIDE IN 6TH GEAR. IN THAT SECOND OR TWO, THE ENGINE STALLED, PRESUMABLY BECAUSE MY LONGER THAN USUAL PAUSE IN THE SHIFT PROCESS HAD ALLOWED THE ENGINE RPMS TO DROP DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY IDLE SPEED (ABOUT 1,000RPM). WITH THE CLUTCH STILL PULLED IN, I HIT THE STARTER BUTTON; THE ENGINE FIRED UP AGAIN, AND I RELEASED THE CLUTCH. HAD THIS STALL OCCURRED IN A SIMILAR SITUATION WHILE I WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LEANED OVER IN A CURVE -- JUST WHEN A MOTORCYCLE NEEDS TO BE CONSTANTLY PULLED FORWARD, UNDER POWER, RATHER THAN RELY ON STRAIGHT-LINE INERTIA -- I WOULD LIKELY HAVE CRASHED....
