Just a reminder; By trashtruck12172 (Read 418 times)

Now that riding season is upon us I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to do a thorough pre-ride inspection. I rushed through mine in a hurry to ride today and ended up losing the bolt that holds the carb drain tube to the cvt cover. The hose then vibrated the drain screw loose and I ended up losing about 1/4 tank of gas before I knew what was going on. So please check everything before you ride.  Ride safe and enjoy.

Word of advice put some silicone on the drain screw, they tend to vibrate loose even if held onto the bracket on the cvt cover.

I really don't think it's a pre season thing I put my trikes on lift every 2 month and check for loose things or anything out of the ordinary. I guess I'm just a maintenance PM person all my life I can't stand when any of my toys go down for not reason LOL
