I change my own oil. Despite the mess, this gives me a chance to thoroughly inspect my trike, ensure fasteners are tight and clean the undercarriage. I place aluminum foil under the filter and angle it toward the drain pan. Then I use aerosol brake cleaner to remove residual oil.
Rode this week. Doesn’t sound like much, but I had a total knee replacement in February. Getting back in the wind is a milestone, even if it’s only for short distances.
When I started riding my trike I thought it had issues based on all the discussions about lift kits, rake kits, shocks and more. After riding it several months, I realized it has no issues. It suits me just fine. The only mods I’ve made are a heim joint shift linkage, new hand grips, and a...
