The Victory motorcycle brand was created by owners Polaris, an American manufacturer of snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles in 1997, with sales from 1998. Victory's motorcycles were designed to compete directly with Harley-Davidson and similar American-style motorcycle brands, with V-twin engines and touring, sport-touring, and cruiser configurations. In 2011 Polaris purchased the Indian Motorcycle brand and began producing Indian Motorcycles, Victory was profitable for a number of years (beginning in 2002) but failed to turn a profit three of its last five years, due primaryly to lack of investment, and were wound up in 2017. Production of Indian continued.

The Victory Hammer was introduced in 2005 as part of Victory's Muscle Cruiser range. In 2010, Victory released the Hammer 8-ball as a derivative of the Hammer With a lowered seat and smaller engine the bike is marketed as a cheaper and less loaded alternative to the Hammer and the Hammer S from 2011 the engine was upgraded to the 106 cu in block used in the Hammer.

There are five bikes that come in 8-Ball versions: Hammer, Vegas, Kingpin, Vision, and Cross Country. 8-Balls come in one colour, have single lower seats, and had a lower price tag.

DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT


Posted on: 2012-09-18
Description
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.  

Consequence
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.  

Corrective Action
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.  

Notes
Polaris' recall number is v-12-01.owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
