2016 victory magnum 3 miles when purchased 6K miles time of accident. had all services done by victory dealership. Proceeded to down shift traveling about 35 40 mph. Pulled the clutch in and heard an horrible grinding noise was not able to shift the gears, let the clutch out and the back wheel locked up, causing the bike to fish tail several times and then it threw me off, and cause the driver to roll about 20 times or more. The back wheel IS locked up the bike had to lifted up to be put on the trailer. The transmission IS locked up. There IS a problem with this and could have cost me my life!

- 10179065There is no doubt that for a Polaris customer the process of picking up a brand new vehicle is one of the most exciting times in the ownership experience. To ensure that all Polaris dealers are equipped to deliver a world-class experience that matches the high quality and excitement of the products, PCDX was developed to create a mobile streamlined dealership delivery experience. PCDX combines the setup, registration, and delivery process into one easy to use application.
- 10179064PCDX is an online and mobile interface for providing a consistent dealer setup and customer delivery experience. The interface walks the dealer and the customer through a standardized online form that includes the PDI (pre-delivery inspection), general warnings, assembly and inspection, safety bulletins, test ride, customer information, customer walkaround and discussion, and customer acceptance. This application has been proven in dealerships to automate document retention, streamline vehicle setup, and provide a consistent, professional customer experience. Vehicles shipped after 11/1/2015 no longer include a paper PDI form with the vehicle setup material; instead dealers should complete the vehicle setup and PDI using the PCDX application, which can be located on the Dealer Website under Service and Warranty PCDX.
- 10179063This Team Tip is being released to dealers to provide information regarding the required transition to online PCDX and PCDX training.

- 10178932Victory engineering has determined that some Cross Country, Cross Country Tour, Cross Roads, Magnum and Hard Ball models may experience damage to the rear brake line. Motorcycles experiencing prolonged misfire conditions may produce increased catalytic converter temperatures causing the retention clip securing the rear brake line to melt. In extreme cases, the retention clip may melt onto the catalytic converter, and increasing the risk of brake line damage.
