I bought my trike with 1700 miles on it. Since I have owned it I have put a 1000 miles on it and been stranded on the side of the road twice in the last 7 days. Last week it was supposedly a pigtail from Roadsmith's conversion that's under the windshield and controls a speedsensor amongst other things.
The torque light came on, the hill assist,and the engine light.The trike would not go any faster then 5 mph. At this point I had put less than 300 miles on it since I bought it. The dealer came and got it that day and discovered a problem with Roadsmiths pigtail. Something about not pushing down 1 of 2 pins. The dealer brought it back 2 days later and explained the problem to me and said it was fixed and they would contact Roadsmith in the hopes of getting compensated for there trouble.
Saturday I left for a 350 mile trip to northern MN , bike ran great but did seem to shift louder than before. This morning I left for the return trip and made it 349.5 miles and the trike locked up in 6th gear according to the gauge but the bike was actually in neutral I pulled over to the side of the road a 1/2 mile from my home and shut it off, hoping it would fix the problem, it actually made it worse as it would not start again.
I called my girlfriend and her and her son and I pushed it a 1/4 mile down the road, took a breather and tried it again for the hell of it, it now showed it was in 5th gear. I turned the ignition off and on again and it showed neutral and started up and I was able to drive it the remaining 1/4 mile home. The dealer is coming tomorrow to pick it back up again and says it is something wrong with the pigtail. I told him a $34,000 bike is not something I should have to worry about whether I will get home or not with it. He agreed. I told him if it happens again than that's it, the bike will be returned.
He makes it sound like Roadsmith has not figured out all the bugs yet in their conversion.
