Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Polaris modular helmets latch freezes and in cold weather and won't open until you warm it up part#285540612. *Jb
While accelerating through gears at normal speed and power. I shifted into fourth gear and as I rolled on the throttle at approx 45 miles per hour. The transmission jumped out of 4th gear and down into third gear. This caused the rear wheel to lock up and skid. I was able to engage the clutch and prevent the motorcycle from sliding out. This has happened in the past and I have reported this to nhtsa. The dealership has been unable to recreate problem for service. I believe that this transmission is faulty and needs to be replaced. I have had several occurances of this jumping out of gear and am concerned about a potentially dangerous accident. Dt
On four occassions my transmission has slipped from fourth gear down into third gear almost causing an accident. Each time I am accelerating and the gear slips down causing my rear wheel to briefly lock and loose traction with the roadway. On the 8/1/02 incident, this occurred while navigating a corner and the motorcycle slid out and I caught myself with my left leg causing soreness. This has occurred several times, 08/01/02, 08/09/02,08/27/02, and 09/09/02. *Ak
The transmission does not always shift into the next gear properly and the motorcycle is in traffic with the transmission in a neutral condition.*Ak
While downshifting from 50 mph consumer heard a click when reaching third gear .When trying to move into second gear motorcycle would not move into 2nd or 4th gears. Then, suddenly back tire locked up. Contacted dealer, and the dealer discovered that the shift plate broke, and a piece lodged into a part of the engine.*Ak
Vehicle stalled at 35 mph, consumer felt fuel pump was the cause. Has not been examined by dealer. Please provide additional information.*Ak
