    Default New owner of '08 RSV Trike

    Hi all,

    We just acquired a 2008 Yamaha RSV Hannigan trike I Don't have any questions yet, just wanted to check-in here.
    I'll be looking for accessories and chrome for it so if anyone has vendors to suggest I'll take a look.
    Any tips on upkeep of the trike kit ?

    Here's a few pics of the bike and my wife, the proud new owner.


    Jay

    Welcome aboard RAGTOP69GS. Congratulation on your new trike. I'll be picking mine up this week. 2009 RSV Hannigan trike. Nice looking trike you have. I don't know any vendors right now. But, I'll be asking around and checking the forum. Good Luck with your trike. My pics below.

    Nice looking bike ! I love the running boards and it's a planned upgrade for ours along with an Aux. fuel tank. Our trike has a few cosmetic problems , but, we got it for such a low price I had to pull the trigger on it.

    Thanks Nana,

    Yes she is ! I'll change the oil, give it a good going over, then she'll take it out for her maiden voyage.

    Ragtop didn't buy this trike....He stole it. I thought I got a good deal on my 99 RSV. your deal was the deal of the century. If only I waited:AGGHH. By the way,did you correct the steering issue?

    I got the oil changed, aired up the tires which helped with the steering but did not eliminate the shake. Next is the head bearing, Jim at Hannigan says it should be 35-38 Ft/pd. If that doesn't get it then I'll do an alignment. He emailed me the procedure for doing the alignment.

    Can't say enough good things about Hannigan so far, they have been very helpful.

    Better than you think, we got it for even less than he was asking

    I think that's a pretty safe bet. I'll have the hitch on the 3 wheeler by then and she can pull the trailer instead of me.

    Well I think I have it dialed in now! I jacked the front tire off the ground and the forks darned near flopped to the side all by themselves, just a tap on the bar had it fall to the right and bounce off the stop and back 2" no wonder it had a head shake! torqued it to 44 ft/lb with the blessing of Jim at Hannigan. Put the whole thing back together and went for a ride Only the slightest shake at 1-10 mph and rock solid above that, even on decel.

    The local trike shop say's they torque the Hondas and harleys anywhere between 50-85 ft/lb and the bearing setup on the venture is almost identical. He got Jim on the phone and he said they take the RSV between 35-45 ft/lb.

    I'm glad everything worked out okay for you Ragtop69gs. No problems with my 09 RSV steering. I've been riding it for a week now, and everything appear to be sound. The only issue I have is the cruise control. I'll be taking it back some time next week.

    Does your cruise set but not hold speed? If so, it's probably the wheel, set in the wrong position in the junction box for the throttle cables, it's on the left side behind the neck cover. There are 2 wheels in there, if they do not engage each other properly your cruise won't set. Hope this helps.

    That is correct Rag. The cruise won't set. I called the installer and I'll be taking it to him on Friday, 10/28. The trike is only a week old. Thanks for the info. I

    I have been checking my gas mileage; hwy and town 32. Highway 35. Are you getting around the same?

    Have not checked mpg yet. Riding season is almost done here, only local rides, so until next season I don't really care. By spring I will have an aux. gas tank in it, then I'll check.

    Sounds like it could be what I was talking about with the cruise, It's an easy fix of maybe a half hour.

    It does not hold. Once I turn the cruise on the lights blink. (Yellow and Green) When I hit the set button, the cruise do not engage. The lights just keep on blinking.

    Thanks for the pics. I will use them if need be when I take the trike to the shop. I do appreciate the info.

    Haven't thought about that, I will have to give it a look. Sets but disengages most of the time thought it was a weak vacume.......
