2000: “I have a 2000 Victory V92 with only 3000 */- miles on it pops out of 3rd gear ! Contacted the dealer and wanting to charge up to $4000. It seems to me and many others that this should of been a recall at no owner expense ! What is going to take for someone to do something about it ? I sure hope it don't take people getting killed before something is done about this major problem !!!!”
