    Default 16K service

    Someone said that I was due for 16K mile service on my RoadSmith trike. I would like to know if anyone can tell me what that intails.

    Thanks in advance

    I'm assuming you are asking about a GL1800/Roadsmith trike? Is so, here is the schedule for a GL1800. The Roadsmith conversion has it's own schedule. Do not have that ,at the moment.

    If you just acquired the trike and do not know the service history, I suggest you look at the 24K, as it replaces/checks/adjusts just about everything except the spark plugs, which can be replaced also, for a complete service.

    Either find a competent service technician or get the service manual and do it yourself.

    Dennis,

    See the post below by Jim at Roadsmith to another Roadsmith owner in the Roadsmith Forum HERE.

    As far as other maintenance? Visual inspection annually or before a trip will suffice. All pivot points contain urethane bushings (no maintenance required) and the driveshaft is as listed above.

    I have a question here:

    I just had my 2010 Goldwing converted to a Roadsmith this season...

    I notice two grease zirks on my driveshaft, I have squirted a couple of shots of grease in there... BUT if there is no reason to worry about maintenance why are the zirks there??

    As always' thank you,

    Ronnie

    Your shafts probably have slip yokes on them

    That would explain the zerks

    the slip yokes slide on splines so the axles can move when the bike rolls over bumps in the road

    The grease will provide the lube for the splines



    Here is a picture of a slip yoke ( note where the zerk is)

    You are real close Jack. The splined slip joint is there but it's sole purpose is to facilitate driveshaft installation and removal. Once in place and adjusted properly the Roadsmith slip joint is secured with a collar making it semi fixed. The Zert fitting does allow for greasing the splines without removing the drive shaft.

    I'm like an old race horse..... I can still run the race -- Just ache more at the finish line and need more rest between outings.

    Thank you, as I just learned something myself.... Ok I just squirted a couple of shots of grease in the zirks, before putting her away for the winter season..

    Cool beans!

    thanks again,
