    Default rear end service?

    As i take my old Harley out for its 6th season it has crossed my mind about rear end service?

    I have the solid axle kit i installed in the spring of 2013 and it is grease filled.

    I cant seem to remember if there is a service interval on that grease in the rear end and if their is please give me PROCEDURE for changing out, as well as lube amount,type,name etc.

    I have had no trouble with it, I just honestly cant remember?

    Looks like gear oil vs grease...

    Nevermind, it was an indy vs solid I was looking at...

    To the best of my recollection the belt drive champion straight axle filled with grease didn't really call for service unless a seal blew out or something?

    Hard for me to accept?

    Is there a champion tech out there?

    I'm not familiar with the engineering of the Champion solid axles, but I envision a double pillow block assy. of some type that would likely need grease/lubrication periodically. Are there any zerk fittings on it?

    If so, I'd try to repack the mechanical assembly with as much fresh grease that it will take.

    Short of tearing it down to repack the parts with grease by hand, you might not have any other options?

    6 years and however many miles is quite awhile to go without maintenance, (in my opinion only)...

    That is correct. No service required unless it has leaked.

    Paul, here is 1 of your old posts

    It looks to me the rear end is factory packed with hard grease the same as garden tractors

    TRIKE CONVERSION KIT

    HARLEY-DAVIDSON



    FLH/FLT & SOFTAIL (FLST)

    Champion Trikes

    (800) 875 0949

    www.championtrikes.com

    Page 1 of 2 Revision 12 November 2008

    Owner’s Maintenance Notes

    1.

    Tire Pressure and Rotation:

    Keep the nominal tire pressure at about 20-25psig. It is not necessary to periodically rotate the trike tires unless you

    experience unusual tire wear.

    2.

    Bearing Lubrication.

    Your Swing Arm, external differential and axle bearings are sealed and do not require greasing. However, should you

    experience unusual differential or axle bearing noise you should take your trike to a Champion Trike Dealer or to your

    motorcycle mechanic for a checkup.

    3.

    Body Lubrication.

    There are no grease fittings on the trike body and no required body lubrication points.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    4.

    Differential lubrication.

    Your differential is a sealed unit and comes filled with high-pressure grease.

    No maintenance is required.





    5.

    Brakes.

    Check your brake system fluid level every 3,000 miles and top-off as necessary. Inspect rear disc brake pads every 10,000

    miles and replace as necessary. Pads are Volkswagen Part # D101P

    6.

    Drive Train.

    Inspect your drive belt as recommended in your motorcycle Owner’s Manual. When properly tensioned after the trike

    conversion, the belt should “deflect” about 1/2 to 5/8 inches when pressed with a force of 10 pounds. Do not use

    commercial belt dressing compounds on the belt: these compounds are designed for friction, not toothed, belts and can

    collect dirt and sand.

    7.

    Suspension System.

    FLH/FLT

    : The suspension system retains your two OEM shocks and is designed to give you the best ride with a load

    of no more than 500 pounds (passengers plus cargo plus trailer tongue weight). Keep the air pressure in the shocks in the

    range of 30-70 psig:

    Softail (FLST)

    : The suspension system retains your single OEM shock and adds two coil-over “helper” mechanical

    shocks. The system is designed to give you the best ride with a load of no more than 500 pounds (passengers plus cargo

    plus trailer tongue weight).

    There is a pre-load adjuster ring on each new shock that is factory-set at the “lowest” setting,

    for the softest ride. Changing this setting will result in a stiffer ride.

    8.

    EZ-Steer (rake kit):

    If your trike is equipped with Champion’s EZ-Steer, the bearings are a wear item. You should follow your motorcycle

    manufacturer’s recommended front-end triple-tree maintenance requirements. Generally these call for an initial service at

    1,000 miles followed by periodic maintenance at 10,000 mile intervals.

    (White or Black) BLACK

    10.

    Basic Motorcycle Maintenance.

    You should follow the periodic maintenance requirements prescribed in your motorcycle Owner’s Manual for those

    components and systems not replaced by the Champion Trike Conversion Kit. Your trike kit should be checked by a

    professional trike conversion company every 5,000 miles. Every 10,000 miles you should check the trike kit fasteners for

    tightness.
