Well took the trike (05 Ultra Classic/Lehman 33,000 miles) in today to check battery and change the transmission oil and primary chain case oil. The battery ($186) is 15 months old and they say I need to replace it! Drained the transmission oil and it had steel and aluminum in it (bunch), wtf! They of Course can't tell whats going on unless they go into it. Less than 4000 miles since last change and at that time the transmission oil looked like new. They said it may be the Champion reverse. I guess that would be better than the transmission. Most of the time when I need to use the reverse I will put it in first then neutral then reverse to get a smooth shift but some times it is a very harsh shift. Any ideas on how to shift this reverse? I was changing to Redline transmission oil. I told them to flush it and put Red Line in and lets see how it does. It was running fine when I got there and when I left.
