SUBJECT: ATC 250R RESTORATION PROJECT
Hello Mr. Sieman,
I need some help in finding a shop willing to rebuild my 20 year old motor. Up here in Washington State, no dealer that sells bikes will touch this 3 wheeler (something about the Federal Trade Commission, blah, blah, blah). I tell them that the motor is pulled, drained, crated, and ready to ship, but they still refuse? Most of the smaller shops around here – for whatever reason – don’t want to split the case, or only do top-end/clutches/etc.
Anyway, I’m looking for a complete top and bottom rebuild to bring the motor back to its “factory fresh” standard. If you could point me in the right direction to a quality shop, that would be great.
Many thanks for your time,
Brian in Seattle

The reason people don’t want to touch your trike is because they don’t want to get sued for putting yet another death trap on the trails. Yes, the three wheeler was the only machine every voluntarily taken off the market … and rightfully so. Your only choice is to acquire the parts and do it yourself. Do yourself a favor and get rid of this pig.
