Tri-Moto 225 reDuX

Buy one!

Removing the rear brake guards will gain noticeable braking force. The assembly flexes more with the guards attached. It also traps water during rides and will reduce your rear braking ability to virtually nothing when it happens. They also discourage most owners from performing maintenance such as greasing the disc splines. I throw them away. Proper adjustment is key.

Somewhere out there is a trike with Tractor Supply fenders that needs these wheels.

The Wicked-X fender blanks came from www.E-Trailer.com.

My other DX has the original MSO. It could end up with plates on it.

[JesseA420]

why do you like to ride these old slow tiny trikes on the street. i mean i have a 70 that i cruise around the neighborhood on saturday afternoons but im not out impeding traffic on a highway.

[DohcBikes]

So you do it illegally. I see.

The Wicked X topped out at almost 70mph. Only once, 500miles into a trip, two days after the first highway test, when at altitude, was the jetting so rich it wouldn't keep up. I also passed dozens of cars at over 60mph on the same trip. I guess maybe you're talking about someone else?

Next.

[DohcBikes]

Yep you guys just keep on doing shlt that's already been done and I'll keep doing things that have never been done before.

That's the way...UH HUH, UH HUH... I like it!!!...

I'll keep doing things that have never been done before.

o rly? such as?

That one makes me feel better about my $200 drs purchase - smokes like a pig and is missing 5th gear

[DohcBikes]

This one smokes too. Lots of old Yamahas do.

When you feel the urge to rebuild the top end, one option you will have is to use a 225XT piston for a nice little bump in compression. This one is getting a fresh hone, std. size xt piston and new rings whenever I find the time. My other DX has a 2mm oversize xt piston.

Decided to go with racks and skid plates on this one as well as a trailer hitch I've been storing for 4 years. Full utility. I'll get some more pics up soon.

[Crazyktmmatt]

I think Im gonna go a lil wilder on mine. Planning on getting a wiseco, porting the head, small camshaft and see what I can do for a bigger carb.

[DohcBikes]

I've decided to pass this on to my brother so we can ride together. He is a member here, jman311, and this is his first 3 wheeler, or off road bike of any kind. He's a Yamaha guy so it's meant to be! Here's a progress pic from last week or so.

[Jd110]

That's awesome you gave that to you bro. I've got 2 older that gave me countless items, most of which we couldn't tell our parents, AND I would have to work for in some way. But never a 3-wheeler! Way to go.


And no worries here about your postings. I'd think most folks here are thick skinned to that and understand nobody's perfect. Stay off the sauce and you'll probably be fine.

Btw. That trike turned out nice imo

[DohcBikes]

Thank you! Projects not done just yet! And knowing Joshua, it will get better and better through the years. He's a member of the Kearney Powersports team, as many here know, a very trike friendly environment

[DohcBikes]

Getting fitted for some racks and stuff. Going to pass on the tank bags I made for the X-pedition, give it some soul. Jman was there every mile of the way! Going to also make him a front rack. He wants a lot of cargo carrying capability. Likely will get a case mounted upright somewhere for the AR15 in the future as well. He is soon to order a set of 22x11-8 Mudlite AT's for the rear. Front tire suggestions are welcome.

[DohcBikes]

Probably not going to update this thread much more, Jman311 will be posting the continuation in the near future, as I will be bringing it to him next week. And for the record 'passing it on' doesn't mean getting it for free, He is trading me for an item I have been longing for a while, to cover a chunk of the $ I have into it. I will post a link to his thread here when it starts.
