Most likely the shifter cable just needs a small adjustment. First thing to do is to SLOWLY (while you are riding) tighten the barrel connecter at the top of the cable (usually where the cable comes out of the shifter and goes into the frame cable stay. Again make a small adjustment and it should correct. If this does not solve the problem try adjusting the rear deraileur high and low adjustment screws (just a 1/4 to 1/2 turn at a time to adjust.

I had new clutch fitted 3 weeks ago now the gear stick has gone loose and I only have 3rd and 4th gear

Sounds like one of the rods between the gear lever and gearbox has become detached. One rod transmits the forward-backward motion, the other left - right, with the "natural" bias keeping the lever in the 3rd / 4th gear plane - hence why you've only got 3rd and 4th gear.

You should have some guarantee from the company that fitted the clutch so contact them to sort it out.

I have a 1999 V92 that jumps out of 3rd & 4th

Early Victory Transmissions (1999-2001) had a recall issued where all transmissions were updated.

The Problem surfaced after introduction and mainly impacted 4th gear.

Victory supported this recall for years at no cost, then they paid 50-60% cost of repairs. I don't think they are still offering help, but it never hurts to ask.

You can go by any Victory Dealer with your VIN and they can pull a history of what recalls were issued for your bike and which recalls were completed.

I hope this helps..

Gears change without a command from the driver.

There is a vacuum controlled selector valve on the selespeed alfa's it tricky to get at and expensive to replace. Have it sent to an alfa specialist or main dealer and they ll sort it
