| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2000 victory v92sc motorcycle. the transmission pops out of gear frequently between 3rd and 4th gear. in addition, the bike has down shifted from 3rd to 2nd on 2 recent occasions. the scare incident was when i was pulling on to the expressway last week. as i accelerated in 3rd gear, i was getting ready to pull out into traffic and the bike suddenly dropped back into second. i had to grab the clutch and pull onto the shoulder of the road to avoid getting hit by a semi. it took several minutes to get the bike out of second and ready to roll again. have had enough concern with this transmission that my wife know to sequester the bike if i am ever injured or killed in a crash. i have a friend in ohio that is a mechanic and he will determine what went wrong for our attorney. does someone have to die before these admittedly faulty transmissions are recalled? i have paid a lot of money for this bike and polaris knows the transmissions are defective. they have the retro-fit repair kits available, but refuse to fix their mistake? why won't my government watchdog agency step in and hold them accountable?*ak |
