Incident: April 20, 2016 · Filed: June 13, 2016

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE CLUTCH AND CLUTCH ASSEMBLY OF MY 2007 VICTORY KINGPIN HAS BROKEN. THE FIRST INCIDENT IN JULY 2009 THE MOTORCYCLE WAS STATIONARY THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRENTY DUE TO A BROKEN ADJUSTER. THE SECOND INCIDENT IN MAY 2011 THE MOTORCYCLE WAS IN MOTION AND THE CLUTCH CABLE BROKE WHERE IT CONNECTS AT THE HANDLEBAR. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS THEN UNABLE TO BE OPERATED, HAD TO BE TOWED AND CLUTCH CABLE HAD TO BE REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP AT MY COST. THE THIRD OCCATION OCCURRED IN APRIL 2016 THE MOTORCYCLE WAS IN MOTION AND THE CLUTCH CABLE BROKE AT THE OPPOSITE END WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE ENGINE MAKING THE MOTORCYCLE INOPERATIVE, HAD TO BE TOWED AND REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP BY ME. EACH OCCATIONS WHEN THE CLUTCH CABLE BROKE WHILE IN OPERATION IT BECAME AN EMERGENCY SITUATION UNABLE TO CHANGE THE GEARS AND COME TO A SAFE STOP WHILE IN TRAFFIC. ALL VICTORY MOTORCYCLES HAVE THE SAME ENGINE TRANSMISSION COMBONATIONS IN 2007 SO I WOULD THINK ALL MOTORCYCLES HAVE THE SAME RISK OF BREAKAGE.
