1999 Polaris Victory Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“Motorcycle slips out of gear (usually third) at unexpected times. Several times while passing vehicles. One time, I had to pull into the oncoming traffics shoulder to avoid a head on collision. Some times I could get it back into gear while coasting, while other times I had to come to a complete stop.”

“I have a 1999 Victory motorcycle, the bike is out of warranty and the transmission pop's out of gear, sometimes it's down shifts when you go to accelerate. Tried to talked to Polaris with no luck, dealers have tried on my behalf, but they say that Polaris might cover it if the dealer finds something wrong if not I have to pay for cost of breakdown and put back together. I have come across many other Victory owner's that are having the same problem, so it seems like a mfg. Problem that Polaris should fix.”

“Dt: 1999 Polaris Victory v92c. The contact stated the transmission slipped into a false neutral and down shifted on its own. The vehicle was taken to the dealership, but they stated it will have to be disassembled to determine the problem, and the contact would have to pay for the diagnosis.
