Diagrams and manuals

[StallionTech]

Ok folks, The manual is going to be a much needed item for the Stallion. At this moment, I am still verifying that I will not be doing anything that will cause me legal trouble. But, I need you guys to make a forum thread letting me know the most common repairs needed and requested. The book is going to be a work in progress but I am trying to make it to where the first draft would be ready around spring time. Any information that you guys request, I will will make sure to try and include. The wiring will be the longest and most difficult part. But i plan on making a custom wiring manual for both older and newer Stallions, since they had 2 different wiring harness. As for the specs, I have the specs already.

Thanks for taking on this project. Let me know when I can send you a deposit on the manual. I have added a post on the new thread and will keep thinking of more.

I have had 2 people offer me their Stallions for this project, which is fantastic. I need to verify which wiring harness each Stallion has. When I tear into the bike to do the wiring, I will include 2 different versions of the diagrams, 1 for the older harness, and 1 for the new type. If both bikes have the same wiring harness, I will need a donor bike which has the "other" harness installed in it. I would like to Thank Ed and Charlie for offering their Stallions for this project. It will be a work in progress, but I will do my best to get all Stallion owners something that is useful and helpful. Thanks to everybody for your support!

I agree with pmar6004 a video is worth more than a thousand words in a book

Instrument Cluster lights don’t work

Well, to help you guys out, the service manual for the Stallion was something I was attempting to do when I worked there. The hard part about it was trying to write a step-by-step manual while working full time everyday. The Stallion can be a nightmare to work on sometimes, but it can also be fairly easy. One of the most frustrating things to service is the wiring. there are factory wiring diagrams for later model stallions. I will have to do some searching in all my paperwork, but there was anewer style wiring harness installed in the Stallion after a certain VIN number. I know all of this, because i was there...lol. We went through alot of changes to try and make the Stallion easy to service. The earlier VIN #'s did use the wiring schematic of the ford ranger. Alot of dealerships do not like to work on them because they simply know NOTHING about the trike, except for the motor and transmission. That is why I work on them in my shop, if needed. I know the bike and understand the bike. If you can find a good trustworthy shop or mechanic to work on it, then keep em. I have always told members on here that I will help anytime I can. I do have alot of information and paperwork from my notes. The people a TBMS have always done a great job with helping customers in any way possible. If that doesnt seem to help, please feel free to contact me.

kevin,

I was looking at some old posts and found yours of above. I have an 08 (169) and I am having electrical issues, i.e. the instrument cluster lights will not work, speedometer and tach do not work, and the check engine light is on. This occurred as a result of my negligent getting a hot wire into a ground. Are you still knowledgeable on these trikes, and if so can you assist me, either through this forum or in your shop? I have checked the under-the-seat fuses, and those below the air filter, and I could not locate a blown fuse. I am at a loss. any assistance is appreciated. Thanks. Randal
