What I was trying to state earlier about is you get what you paid for. While I did get the axle and it did break tings do happen and this is rare. But the Ice Bear isn't the real problem it's the dealers that sale them in my cast 2 of them. Now what I misunderstood from Rapid Jim . He does drop ship right to buyer I was thinking he got trike and PDI and shipped again. So I was thinking double shipping charge I would never been in a mess. But after everything I have learned after taking apart rear end and transmission priceless. After everything I have done I wouldn't change what I have gotten but I would never do business with the clowns I did do business. But what I said before after reading about theses things and you got one you better be prepared to fix and repair when needed and better understand the beast and tools are your best friend.

I think you will find front tire not true I can't say that all 3 trikes same with problem. I really don't think they know how to make a good true tire for front. I ordered a new tire on E Bay will put it on when weather turns bad then we will see if and better. But till weather get bad I will be triking my wife and I just finished oil changes ready to roll this is the 4th change since new 1,200 miles.

seniorcit keep a medium size Phillip screw driver about 10in long are longer drive it till warm open seat and on right side look between seat and outer wall you can see adjustment for Idle if you can't while shut off twist throttle grip look down and see it move then adjust idle turn to right little at a time till it stay adjusted running. On weight of Zodiac it is about 780pounds. I don't have much trouble moving it meaning pushing with motor not running. I believe the Magnum is about 80 pounds lighter. But as-long as brakes aren't being applied shouldn't be a problem in less you have a pretty steep grade. I never tried that way but all in all reverse seems better then before but when my wife uses hers she holds brake till she feel it ready to move and slowly releases it. We know have 3 2 which engage good #1 is the one which is the one which does it. But one thing I found with hers is if It put it in reverse first then start it problem isn't there.  |

What a lot of people seem not to understand and it isn't a 35,000 HD trike. What you need to think is you get what you paid for. Even Harley's shake and vibrate many times it's the nature of the beast and remember it's a 1 cylinder engine not a way to balance it without a lot of money and most people want cheep. So my advise if it runs use it and enjoy even with my problems we got over a 1,000 mile and when axle broke we had to park it till Rapid Jim jump in and got it shipped to me too me about 10 minutes my wife snatched and off she went. Remember summer is only so long some good days in winter time get out and use it enjoy the ride while weather lets you.

Then it should be after all it's manly for forward and reverse when I leave yogi bear campground in Cosby TN, I will post a picture of it. And yes we are true campers wet and real soggy LOL If you camp when I do you will get wet and more wet. Oh no Yogi just stole my food basket got to go Boo Boo is now trying Bye.

We are done everything turned out great no shaking and reverse goes in good I think the sliders helped on the going into gear and reverse much smoother on take off. As far as speed nothing changed much still about the same as before just engages much smoother then before. Before putting it in reverse you better hang on for dear life now nothing much just goes in smooth my wife is ready to go now, now she will never stay off the trike LOL You know what they say about a happy wife yet a happy life LOL |
