Recalls
1 recall names the 2012 Victory High-Ball. Newest first.
Polaris is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Victory motorcycles manufactured from January 3, 2012, through August 15, 2012. A torqueing procedure may have been missed on some throttle cable retention nuts. On certain motorcycles, the throttle cable retention nuts for either the pull or push throttle cable may have not been torqued correctly.
Risk and remedy
Risk
If the torqueing is missed and the retention nuts are loose, the retention nuts closest to the throttle body can become dislodged and interfere with the throttle function, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Victory will notify owners and dealers will correctly torque the fasteners free of charge. The safety recall began on October 4, 2012. Owners may contact Victory consumer service department by calling 1-888-704-5290.

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.
- Wheels
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.
