Sweet! I thought that was easier for viewing all the pics instead of posting them all in the thread.

Hey So I have one minor concern with my Trike.
Anyone....

Seems like the centrifigul clutch slips and I cant "climb" over some obstacles at a reasonable speed, I have to "rally" stuff. It doesn't grab and take off if I just start on the gas. It has new clutch pads in the centrifigal and new clutch discs in the manual.
Seems I need to either tackle things with enough momentum to keep the engine at an rpm where the clutch won't start to slip.
Thats what happend in that mud hole. I lost momentum, the rpms fell and the clutch slips. Then I have to put it in neutral, rev it up, and "neutral drop" it into first gear to get the power and clutch fully enganged. I've tried the shift it into gear then slowly let the lever back up to use the manual clutch trick but it doesn't seem to work, just pops in gear and wants to go.

Any recommendations thoughts folks?

We had a cold spell last week. Warming back up to the 70's this week. But, yeah snow in the higher elevations already!

Yeah, I've adjusted that some. I am going to have to fiddle with it some more, see what I can do with it.

[team-red-rider]

ok are u sure its back together right?

[Tri-ZNate]

its an 1/8 of a turn BTW. Anyway looks like you had fun, cant wait till we get some snow, always fun to out run the quads in it ;)

[Mastacator]

ok are u sure its back together right?
Ya, pretty sure. I'm sure I just need to adjust it better.
Adjusting the screw will adjust the engagement of the manual clutch then right?

[team-red-rider]

yesssssssss

[LonesomeTriZ]

Damn. That sure is some pretty country.

We didn't go back up that particular section, but went up quite a few similar ones. Got way down to the bottom of the canyon toward the end, expecting it to spit out back at the main road, but it ended up being a dead end! Had a long 3 mile climb back out of there on a rutted, snow covered, muddy trail!! It was a great test of skill, and machine performance, the Trike didn't let me down!!
