Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My wife and I were riding to deadwood, sd. Somewhere between the sd state line and sioux falls her right passenger floorboard fell off her bike. At this time, her bike had approx 5,000 miles. Ever since purchasing her bike, I have noticed that the pins that hold the floorboards in place have been vibrating forward. Every couple of hundred miles or so, we would adjust these pins back in place. I personally feel that this is a design flaw, and that it should be covered under warranty. This is a very common problem for these bikes. …”

NHTSA complaint #10523022, filed 2013-07, 5,000 miles

“The right saddle bag latch is showing signs of wear. If it continues to wear and breaks the saddle bag lid may pop open while riding and if there is any type of material or clothing it may come out on to roadway or possibly the highway possibly causing an accident. I have read that there are many others having the same issue. I have also seen brand new motorcycles on the show room floor showing signs of wear and they are brand new no mileage. I also have issue with signal lights. When engaging the signal light prior to taking a turn it shuts off prematurely. …”

NHTSA complaint #10663205, filed 2014-12, 1,900 miles

“The right side saddle bag latch is wearing excessively and in danger of complete failure. That would cause the saddlebag lid to open while going down the road. Victory seems to know that there is a problem but will not fix it after the 1 year warranty is up.”

NHTSA complaint #10650024, filed 2014-10, 5,782 miles

“The right side saddle bag latch is showing signs of wear, possibly due to a factory-misaligned latch and striker hoop. The worn area, when severe enough, will break off and cause the lid to be unsecured. This could cause a loss of cargo at highway speeds.”

NHTSA complaint #10637799, filed 2014-09, 3,700 miles

“The saddle bag latch on the right-side saddle bags wear out from road vibration. If it wears too much, the latch can break and the lid can open at speed.”
