Hey all! New triker here! I have an issue with my Kliktronic shifter being sluggish or not even working! So I bought my very first trike last summer and worked on getting it setup to ride. I found the shifter on Craigslist for around $500! Good deal!epper: I had it installed, practiced and got my license. Weeelllll I went on two rides for the first time and no issues. My third ride I went out with some buds and the trike died! Stupid me no gas! Lesson learned. Well I was able to flip on reserve, head to the nearest gas station but the shifter started acting weird. It would shift from neutral to first, but not from 1st to N ( it did it intermittently). My buddy rode it home and the regular shift was fine. So I found some installation guides and went over the troubleshooting section. I checked the switch, box clicked. That was good. Took actuator off mount, pressed button. It was slow or hesitant to extend or retract. The guide said the battery may be low (I tried turning it over like six times when I was out of gas) So I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. I bought a trickle charger today and have it charging the battery. I also felt the actuator rod and it was kind of sticky, so I'm going to WD40 it tomorrow. It's on a 99 Suzuki Intruder Lehman trike.
Sorry for the long post, but I've always wanted to ride and now it seems that dream is fleeting. Thanks for any help!
