I can tell you this I talked to the DMV here in Florida and anyone who sells vehiles must have title in hand before they sell the vehile or they will come down on them. They MUST give you the tile AT the TIME OF SALE IF PAID IN FULL but that is Fl. Talked to them yesterday. And according to ICEBEARS dealer agreement anyone you seels their product must have a B&M building and service dept. So you can figure out the rest I have the aggreement here. Icebear nears to crack down on everyone who is not doing that

Jim I had a 1969 Sporty and it had a lot of vibration. Does the Icebear have more then that? The Harley didn't bother me. I keep thinking out attaching a damper of some type. On my Bow and arrow I have in the front of the bow a damper and it helps with the torque or vibration when shooting it. Its small maybe 6" could attach it to engine. At Chrysler we had gel filled motor mounts and vibration mounts. Is the camber and caster, toe-in adjustable on the 300? We also had bad vibration on the mini vans due to the axle shafts being jammed (not centerd)into the transaxle to far, all it took was a big pry bar to move it a little one way or another, Just thinking out loud. The 400cc Bergman is a single why does it not vibrate like the 300? Could it be because of the fuel injection? Got to be a way to fix it I don't think it's got anything to do with the tryke rear section. Now if I only had a bike to work on it.

Jim then why the 150cc single cylinder does not have as much vibration,is it because it is smaller? What you think of the balance the fly wheel? A dealer told me that when they copied the engine the degree of the cylinder is not the same as the orignal one they copied and that is why it has so much vibration. The proof would be to see and run a Real Lindai from Yamaha and see if it vibrates as much. Have you every worked on the real deal?

I don't know how dual exhaust will help with the vibration. Can someone explaine that to me? Also I heard that the engine has a lot of vibration has anyone tried balance maybe the flywheel or welding a damper from engine to frame? We used a little looked like a shock on some cars that had vibrations for motor mounts, just a idea.

So I guess the Tornando and Compeller will be awhile till they get updated. A padded seat, dual exhaust and frame change. 2 to 3 times more comlicated then before can't wait to see what they did there. Still going with a chain Jim or don't know.

I must say I have talked to Jim from Rapid Repair today and found him to be a very helpful fellow. I have the sense that he knows what he is talking about and is a honest type of guy. That says a lot to me being in the auto business myself. After talking with other online dealers it was refreshing to talk to him, I hope I can do buisness with him. I just wanted to commend him on his way of dealing with a customer. I thank him for his time and effort. John

I am getting sick of youn guys talking to me the way you do. I'm new at this forum and you dis me like that. If you can't understand what I said I'll say it again. I didn't say there is a bike for sale for $279 I said KELLY BLUE BOOK SAYS if it got totaled. Yes mike I am still asking about the 300 I'm trying to get a deal like you got!! READ and TAKE YOUR PILLS!! When I ask a question I don't seem to get a answer just BS I am trying to understand this scooter stuff and save some money just like you Mike. You know your pissed because I made you a low offer that is called dealing. I could not even hear the Sliver Bullit run that day, it was broke!! Then I called you the other day to buy for the price you asked and the throttle is broke and then you tell me about a guy that wants to give you $4500 for it!! That is called GREED.

I wish Honda and Kaw and the rest would make a small tryke like Icebear. I would pay the extra for product knowing i am getting something worth more then $279 in Kelly Blue Book for a 2011! At least Honda and the rest hold some value After seeing that and when I finally get a bike I am not even going to put theft and collision on it. What do you guys think of that will it pay? By the way Jim any word on the 300's, is Harry back?

Start selling scrap metal!! There is a guy here that goes around on garbage night working for scrap metal. Did me a favor taking all my engine blocks and he says he does good. Fido I agree with you they need to set up a system. Icebear just screwed their dealers by offering the PDI and don't bother with the customers. They say go to the dealer if you have a problem. Now instead of the dealers like Jim who would have made a little money on the PDI they are cut out and have to put up with the customers even though they didn't do the PDI. The guy by me wanted $350 for the PDI on a 150cc. Why give it to him when Icebear does it for $161 see what I am saying here?

I mean I think it would be great for a new owner who just buys a bike. He can go to that and see the different problems that have come and hopefully gone through time without going crazy. Also Alley what do you think about what I said about Icebear doing the PDI. Do you really think a bunch of workers are going to go through that bike like Jim would? I can just see them driving all over the parking lot with handlebars shaking and trannies jumping out of gear. They won't change the front or rear tire, balance them or change a hub. Wrap,Pack and Ship!! What they really need is what Hyndi did and get quality control going

What do you guys think of writting a stickey with all the New info you guys have learned threw the years. It would sure save time when a new owner buys a bike and is going crazy trying to figure it out. It would be the Bible of Tryke Fixes and Thoughts. Anyway is the 150 not shake as bad because it has a straight axle even though it has bad tires? And the 300's when they had a straight axle did they shake as bad? Just trying to understand why such a big difference. What you guys think of the PD done by the factory? Will it fix the problems, will they road test? Nothing will change until Icebear geats the bad dealers weeded out also that seems to be a big problem also. With the short time I have been trying to get a bike I cannot belive the things I have read and actually had pulled on me. Thats one of the reasons I would like to find a used bike. Hey Mike what happened to the lady that had a 300 that used to make you fix it?

I am looking for a tryke. I have read almost every post on here and the Dawg about the problems between the 150 and the 300 Their is no doubt in my mine that I will have to work the kinks out of either one. But I would like to know when the 300cc had the straight axle did it have as many problems as it does now with the independent rear? I have read the PDI setup that pretty much goes through the scooter but even with doing that the problems arise, mostly because of the tires. Are the 150 tires as bad as the 300's or is it because of the different rears that it is not felt as bad on the 150? What I would like to see is if possible a NEW update that would tell us new buyers about the other things that have developed since they first came came out. I am amazed that Icebear has really not taken care of some of the problems by changing vendors instead of just sending out parts for the customer to replace with a hit and miss type of deal. As far as their NEW PDI that they now offer I don't believe it will take care of the problem. I have not read anywhere that they will road test them to see if there is any shaking and vibration problems, has anybody heard that ? Well I am waiting to see if the problems with the 300 are taken care of and if not I know with the help this forum gives any problem can be fixed. I just thought a review of things to watch out for in a thread would be good.
