Well it been a year now that I have been a VW trike owner. I purchased my trike from a guy in Ks and drove the trike back to Colorado. 12 hrs later I was home ...what a cold ride.... During my fuel stops I felt that the engine was not going to turn over. seem the carb was getting a lot of fuel. I also knew timing adjustment was in order. About a week later I wanted to go for a short ride.. took it out rode down the hill and the fuel pump went out.
I was not happy but said ok... I had the electric fuel pump replace, carb and timing adjusted and added a fuel pressure kit. about a week after I got that fixed I said let me go for a spin ..the wife and I was out and about..90 miles out we broke down on the interstate... As u can think I was not very happy again ... got it to the shop and found out the points broke... Got that fixed..
During this time I was turned off and I don't think I even took the bike out again. At this time I was having issues with the oil light coming on. Well after a few months and talking to people on the forum I decided to give it a chance again... At one point I had it up for sale but was talked out of it.
Well in March I decided to give it a new look and that is when the red/black came in to play. Thanks to ABA added the spoiler and it looks cool. I replaced the oil pressure switch and no more light coming on... Now with the weather is getting warmer its time to get it ready. Got my new front tire that needs to be put on and will be going to electronic ignition. Now the wife and I have taken 2 x 45 min ride locally and it seems to run fine... Its getting to a point where I need to make a 100 mile run so hopefully I will attempt that next weekend ....
What to hear from other VW air cool trike owners do u trust your ride?
