New Roadsmith Goldwing Trike Broke within 150 miles

[802MARK]

Pulled out the drive, turned left went from 1st to 2nd and nothing.. how hard is it to replace the broken black boot? the drive shaft is fine its what ever you call them that turn the wheels, one side just spins and the other does nothing.

That has to be a factory defective CV joint or shaft. Get it back to your dealer I'm sure Roadsmith will take care of it. If I remember right its a three year 3,000,000 mile warrantee. Those drives are designed strong enough for cars, they should be almost impossible to break in a trike.

First I would talk to the dealer or factory before I did anything.RIDE SAFE

Guys if this doesn't prove how awesome our sponsors are, nothing will. Kudos to the Roadsmith team and our other fine sponsors for taking care of our members/your customers! What a fantastic forum we have that these companies read and respond so quickly! Can I get an Amen!?

Zook,
It would just be nice if we ever heard "The Rest of the Story", sometimes these things happen and rather than calling the mfgr. or their dealer for a solution people just stew about it or do nothing.

Did it get resolved?

Did he fix it?

Did he sell or trade it off?

Can I buy it for a dollar / CASH?

Did he pour gas on it?

I am also very proud of Roadsmith, if asked or if not asked they want their customers happy!!

Now back to the program.......

I don't disagree with you Bob. We can ask the OP and find out the outcome. I know whatever it is Roadsmith will make it right.

Yep wasn't a pretty site a truck driver had a Bottle Ext. but that didn't slow it down..... the guy said he wired some new stuff up, didn't check it and just went for a ride and smelled smoke coming from under his seat, he got off walked to the rear kneeled down and the tank went off, lucky guy!! OUCH for sure.... he was still shaking thinking about the bomb he wired up under his seat.... just didn't want to talk!!

No complaints with me with any of the sponsors here.
Best bunch of folks Ive ever had to do any dealings with.

This is the exact reason that I ride a Roadsmith

When a "brother" has a problem, "Roadsmith" comes on line (forum) and helps

Thank you R/Smith

Ronnie, Do you realize this post is 10 years old? I would hope that Roadsmith has taken care of the problem by now.
