ONLY AFTER A FEW DAYS OF OWNERSHIP WITH LESS THAN 200 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, THE MOTORCYCLE HAS DEVELOPED A STALLING PROBLEM AND HAS CONTINUED WITH OVER 5,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE STALLING OCCURS, EITHER WHEN DOWNSHIFTING AND APPLYING A LIGHT QUICK THROTTLE ACTION TO BRING RPMS UP OR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND APPLYING A LIGHT QUICK THROTTLE ACTION TO BRING RPMS UP. NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY OWNERS OF THIS TYPE OF MOTORCYCLE WITH NO CORRECTIVE ACTION BY VICTORY TO DATE. OWNERS ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED. *TR

I WAS SITTING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES. WEATHER WAS 100DEGF DAY. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GO BACK TO REGULAR STREET SPEED (45 MPH) THE ENGINE ON THE BIKE SEIZED RESULTING IN REAR TIRE SLIDING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL CLUTCH (ALLOWING REAR WHEEL TO ROLL). BIKE DID NOT CRASH. BIKE WOULD NOT TURN OVER FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES FOR ENGINE TO COOL DOWN (MY ASSUMPTION). SOUNDS VERY MUCH LIKE THIS RECALL... WHICH MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN...
