Most Recent Complaints
ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE CLUTCH AND CLUTCH ASSEMBLY OF MY 2007 VICTORY KINGPIN HAS BROKEN. THE FIRST INCIDENT IN JULY 2009 THE MOTORCYCLE WAS STATIONARY THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRENTY DUE TO A BROKEN ADJUSTER. THE SECOND INCIDENT IN MAY 2011 THE MOTORCYCLE WAS IN MOTION AND THE CLUTCH CABLE BROKE WHERE IT CONNECTS AT THE HANDLEBAR. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS THEN UNABLE TO BE OPERATED, HAD TO BE TOWED AND CLUTCH CABLE HAD TO BE REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP AT MY COST. THE THIRD OCCATION OCCURRED IN APRIL 2016 THE MOTORCYCLE WAS IN MOTION AND THE CLUTCH CABLE BROKE AT THE OPPOSITE END WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE ENGINE MAKING THE MOTORCYCLE INOPERATIVE, HAD TO BE TOWED AND REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP BY ME. EACH OCCATIONS WHEN THE CLUTCH CABLE BROKE WHILE IN OPERATION IT BECAME AN EMERGENCY SITUATION UNABLE TO CHANGE THE GEARS AND COME TO A SAFE STOP WHILE IN TRAFFIC. ALL VICTORY MOTORCYCLES HAVE THE SAME ENGINE TRANSMISSION COMBONATIONS IN 2007 SO I WOULD THINK ALL MOTORCYCLES HAVE THE SAME RISK OF BREAKAGE.
ELECTRICAL POWER TO ENGINE CUTS OUT. GAUGES DROP TO ZERO AND HEADLIGHT EXTINGUISHES. TURN SIGNALS CONTINUE TO OPERATE. ENGINE RE-STARTS IMMEDIATELY AND CONTINUES UNTIL A RE-OCCURRENCE HAPPENS WHICH BECOME MORE FREQUENT AS THIS CONTINUES. HAPPENS EVERY RIDE. *TR
CAME OUT OF GARAGE AND PULLED THE CLUTCH TO ENGAGE 1ST AND THE CABLE BROKE AT THE HANDLE AREA. I HAVE CHECKED ON MULTIPLE VICTORY MOTORCYCLE FORUMS AND TOO MANY RIDERS HAVE HAD THEIR CABLES BREAK ON THEM. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR. *TR
