Latest High-Ball complaints
Some victory motorcycles with the 106 ci engine have problems with a retainer C clip in the gears in the transmission, failing and said C clip coming loose potentially locking up the engine while running I had it happen to me 7/05/25 while riding. I'm not the only one this has happened to many victory owners experience this failure and Polaris industries will not to anything about it. Now I have transmission failure and the repair cost more than the motorcycle is worth.
While riding to work today back wheel started feeling loose .Stopped and checked wheel and found two broken spoke and some bent spokes.I called the dealer they stated no knowledge of other bikes having an issue but when I checked the internet I found many people have had the same issue. I feel this is a safety issue and should be addressed by polaris.
