In November I got tired of the rough ride my trike had started haveing for the past 10,000 miles. I put it on the lift and found the right ladder bar rubbing the frame. My trike is a 97 MT solid axel. I called the factory to ask some questions and Richard Purdy informed me on some adjustments that I could make. While making the adjustments I pulled the battery and box to access the hyme joint easier. I found that the ladder bar had cracked at the socket weld just before the Y and seporated about 1/4 inch. I took pictures sent them to MT and was ask to send both ladder bars back for evaluation. I did and had repaired bars back 3 days after they received them. My trike was out of warrenty in May 2012 and there was no charge for the repairs. That's customer service since the bars would have cost about $800.00.
Thank you MT for your great service and thanks Richard for all your information on adjusting the ladder bars.<br />
