Drive Shaft U-Joint grease
I've done my first oil change on my new to me 2013 Lehman Monarch II LLS (purchased in May)
As recommended by board members, I want to grease the U-Joints, but when I look at them, I don't see any grease nipples?
Has Lehman done away with this feature? The U-Joints look much smaller than the ones pictured in the installation manual!
I tried calling Lehman, but it's hard to get through!
Thanks in advance.........Marcel
Many thanks to Bazooka!!!!!
Bazooka, I spoke with Bill at Champion, and he confirmed that my driveshaft has permanently lubricated u-joints.
He also enlightened me about the issue I have with the poor brakes on my Lehman.
He highly recommended that I de-link my rear brakes. This is something that Champion (and other trike kit manufacturers) do as a rule.
I've contemplated doing this theorizing that the automotive calipers needed all the power that the small Honda master cylinder could provide.
He said that the online install manual for the Champion IRS would show me how to do it. He also said that their parts department could supply me with the few items needed to de-link.
I will definitely take this project on later this winter.
I will post on the site with my results!
Best regards..........Marcel
