ODI #10747180

Incident: September 20, 2014 · Filed: August 8, 2015

MY 2014 VICTORY CROSS COUNTRY EIGHT BALL MOTORCYCLE CONTINUOUSLY CUTS OFF. WHEN I DOWN SHIFT THE BIKE TO COME TO A STOP, THE BIKE MAKES A SPIT SOUND AND CUTS OFF. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE BIKE CUT OFF WHILE RIDING AND WHEN PULLING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD NOT TO BLIP THE BIKE, BUT WHEN DOWNSHIFTING YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE BIKE GAS IN CASES WHERE YOU HAVE TO GET BACK UP TO SPEED. THE PROBLEM IS BEYOND IRRITATING BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BY STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME YESTERDAY. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM 2009 TO PRESENT REGARDING STALLING VICTORY MOTORCYCLES, HOWEVER, NUMEROUS DEALERS AND THE MANUFACTURER SAY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM.

Incident: September 30, 2014 · Filed: October 2, 2014

RIGHT SADDLEBAG LATCH IS DEFECTIVE AND WEARING SEVERELY AT 5000 MILES IT HAS OPENED ALREADY AT HIGH SPEED MAKING THE BIKE AERODYNAMICALLY UNSTABLE. I'M LUCKY I DID NOT CRASH. BIKE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN HANDLING TERRIBLE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND WHEN I DISCOVERED THE SADDLEBAG LID WAS OPEN CLOSED IT AND HANDLING RETURNED TO NORMAL. THESE SADDLEBAG LIDS ARE VERY LARGE AND HAVE A SHAPE LIKE RESEMBLING AN AIRPLANE WING. WHEN OPEN THEY GENERATE A LOT OF LIFT IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. WHEN IT FAILS THERE WILL BE NO MECHANISM TO KEEP IT CLOSED. APPARENTLY THE MAJORITY OF BIKES OF THIS MODEL ARE AFFECTED SEE THIS THREAD ON A ASSOCIATED MOTORCYCLE FORUM HTTP://WWW.VICTORYFORUMS.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=104498 THIS LATCH NEEDS A REDESIGN BY THE MANUFACTURER OR SOME SORT OF FIX BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE. *TR
