Exactly what I plan on doing the moment mine craps after the warranty expires. My indy stocks it.

Just a short update on the reverse motor I sent to Performance Inc.
I sent the unit UPS 9/23 and delivered 9/27. On 9/29 Mike at Performance Inc. called saying he disassembled the reverse motor and found the armature is burnt/scored & brushes were no good. He needed verbal ok for the rebuild in which I did.
He said his work schedule is backed up about two week. I told him thanks for the communications and his schedule works for me.
I will update later. DJ
Any update on this, DJ? My rev. motor on my 2010 is about to go south. Speeds up, slows down, speeds up, slows down. This is with accelerating the engine. Battery replaced a year ago(?) I don't use reverse that much but the trike has been through some torrential downpours. Considering Performance Inc.

I just saw this thread
The reverse starter is a Piece of JUNK
That said, it is akin to a Toyota starter
IMO it was NEVER built to take that HIGH of a current load without burnin the piss out of the brushes, armature and bushings
I have checked the voltage drop on and off a 15 Freewheeler, U would not belive it, I was amazed
I will not even think about rebuilding another 1
I would build my own
The parts( made in USA) can be had from most GOOD auto parts outlets, you just have to find a trusted source JMHO
Said it before, I'll say it again. When my reverse finally craps, I will have a Baker or Moto Trike installed. Predicted on the warranty being expired.
Once you do it, You'll be amazed at how many parking situations you have avoided in the past, Like parking down hill in a gravel parking lot, And now you can back out just like normal people can with a 35 thousand dollar vehicle can, Or for that matter with a 5 thousand dollar Hoopie........
Jack....Just Semantics here, But the reverse motor is Not a starter motor, Its a high toque low RPM electric motor....And at least on my 11Tri..It was made by Hitachi...
Thanks, I knew that
This is a great community with all yall sharing to help, I love it
The reason I call it a starter motor is lack of better terms out of my mouth
Thanks for clearing that up for the others![]()

Come on, Bob. We are normal people, and a lot of us drive $35,000 trikes( or more).
I must have a rabbits foot up my butt. I've had a 2012 (27K) and now a 2014 (38K)TG. Not one problem with the reverse. I do a lot of backing up - level and inclines. A couple times I've backed up over 100' on the highway because I overshot a sign for the ABC's of Touring contest. No blown fuses or slowing down.
I do have the 7 year extended warrantee, so I'm not worried - at least for the next 4 years.
Glad to see this repair info - just in case I need it in 5 or 6 years.
A sticky would be great.
