    just thought of something today

    had my trike for a couple of months, just got it where i can ride it reliably recently, and just realized, i should oil the chain(was sitting 8+ years before i got it) used WD-40, wasnt sure what else to use, what do you guys suggest or think is the best for this?

    You can put a smaller sprocket on the front. Thats what I did on my 185s b/c I wanted it to be a little slower on the trails.
