I bought my 2014 Victory Vision in May of 2018. The shifting and everything operated fine for a while. These last couple months, when I am riding 50-80 miles an hour, If I increase throttle to pick up a bit more speed, it downshifts on its own. Why? Clutch plates or friction plates?

First question that comes to mind when discussing Victory clutch concern is, are you using the correct oil? There are a lot of post on the site about oil selection. At the end of the day, the clutch requires a semi-synthetic. Hope your problem is as simple as doing an oil change.

Oil is a concern but it seems unlikely the clutch would (or could) cause it to downshift. If the engine is suddenly increasing in rpms with increase in throttle and a change in the "indicated" gear but not going faster then yea, clutch...check the adjustment first. A slipping clutch with a corresponding change in gear indicated could make it seem like it down shifted. That being said if it really did go from say 6th to 5th that probably isn't the clutch but perhaps a worn gear.....I'd chase the clutch first. As Lenyb said it COULD be oil if you recently changed to full synthetic or too a non JASO MA/MA2 rated oil. Keep us posted. LMYR

Its NOT the oil.

is your foot putting it all the way into gear.
how much side to side play in shifter.
is shift linkage adjusted corect.
if all that checks out go into primary and look for the problem.
Its not the oil
