Power Train · at 9,201 miles · reported Mar 13, 2014

This motorcycle slams into 2nd gear when shifting to 3rd! Almost got run over by as tractor trailer! This is a dangerous product, well documented. Why aren't you forcing polaris to fix this?? Somebody is going to get killed. The recall polaris has doesn't cover these bikes if they are bought second hand, or are past the recall date(Intentionally set for after these problems arise). This transmission will seize one day,m hopefully I survive!

I sure hope it don't take people getting killed before something is done about this major problem !!!!

Power Train · at 15,000 miles · reported Oct 17, 2006

Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds on the highway, the manual transmission slipped gear and down shifted which caused the motorcycle to operate at a reduced speed without warning. The dealer and manufacturer were alerted and agreed the vehicle was included in NHTSA recall, # 06v298000, concerning manual transmission. However, both refuse to repair the vehicle without charge. The manufacturer offered to cover half the cost of the recall repair as part of a customer satisfaction program.
