Someone said that I was due for 16K mile service on my RoadSmith trike. I would like to know if anyone can tell me what that intails.
Thanks in advance

I'm assuming you are asking about a GL1800/Roadsmith trike? Is so, here is the schedule for a GL1800. The Roadsmith conversion has it's own schedule. Do not have that ,at the moment.
If you just acquired the trike and do not know the service history, I suggest you look at the 24K, as it replaces/checks/adjusts just about everything except the spark plugs, which can be replaced also, for a complete service.
Either find a competent service technician or get the service manual and do it yourself.
Thank you very much, for sending this post - I just made a copy, and will follow this schedule to a "T"

Your driveshaft has sealed U-joints on the driveshaft. There are no grease zerks to maintain. There is a fitting on the slip-joint (between the two halves of the driveshaft) that you can grease once a year.
As far as other maintenance? Visual inspection annually or before a trip will suffice. All pivot points contain urethane bushings (no maintenance required) and the driveshaft is as listed above.

I have a question here:
I just had my 2010 Goldwing converted to a Roadsmith this season...
I notice two grease zirks on my driveshaft, I have squirted a couple of shots of grease in there... BUT if there is no reason to worry about maintenance why are the zirks there??
As always' thank you,

You are real close Jack. :clapping: The splined slip joint is there but it's sole purpose is to facilitate driveshaft installation and removal. Once in place and adjusted properly the Roadsmith slip joint is secured with a collar making it semi fixed. The Zert fitting does allow for greasing the splines without removing the drive shaft.
